Natter 52: Playing with a full deck?  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I think tonight was the last episode of Standoff. I haven't watched yet so I can't judge the episode.

I have to ask, am I misunderstanding the spoiler policy in Natter? Because I walked into a lot more information than I expected to find in blackfont.

information libertarian

Natter policy is whitefont current season discussion. I think people just forgot last night.

I am waiting for Potter reactions! It's 7:30 am! Someone should be done by now. (Note: I stopped after no. 4, so it's academic for me.)

Consuela, those who rescue young dogs whose owners gave them up because they were too energetic and needed running-with are also heroes.

I gave up on the idea of picking up my HP book last night when I started barely being able to keep my eyes open at 10 PM, so I went and laid down and found that yes, I fell soundly asleep. If I'd laid awake until 11, I was going to get dressed again and go out, but if the sleep gods are generous, I take what they offer.

Crap, that was me. Sorry.

Even Homer nods. (Especially if he's Homer Simpson.)

I'm off to the bookstore to buy my belated HP. Probably better to do it when I'm fully awake, right?

Dog is my co-pilot.

Definitely! The group I volunteer with gets Labs of all ages. It just so happens that I adopted all of mine when they were between the ages of 6 and 7; they're now 10-1/2 to 13-1/2. We get more dogs ages 1-6 in need of homes than any other age group. The typical scenario is the undertrained and underexercised adolescent or young adult who is either a stray or is given up by someone who got a pup without considering the pup's needs.

I have to admit that I've never read a HP book.

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, a UPS truck pulled up and stopped across the street.

The first UPS truck of the day.

Why wasn't it delivering MY BOOK???

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Emmett is famous! Too bad they didn't have a photo. I thought all newspapers like angelically scrappy young faces in their pages.

Got my book, reading it out on the patio. Life feels sweet this AM.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How long for the insane crowds to go away? Think I can buy the book tonight or tomorrow?

My local big-ass-chain bookstore elected not to put the book on sale at midnight, but just to start selling it at regular business hours today.
