Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Countdown: 156 days

Must be in UK at time of publishing. Unless I can pre-order from Amazon.co.uk. Anyone know how fast a pre-ordered book ships, normally?

Oh, dude. From this article:

I think that Dumbledore is going to die. Either him or Hagrid. And if J.K. pulls a Luke and Leia thing, I'm gonna be mad.

Yo, Ruth, didn't you have a bunny similar to this? :D And I love how nearly all these kids are Ron/Hermione shippers. theirloveissocanon Also:

Okay, If Voldemort dies, Harry will die because they are connected by Harry's scar. Arabella Figg is NOT Crookshanks. Crookshanks is male. Mrs. Figg is Hedwig, because if you look in a baby names book, "Arabella" means "beautiful eagle". That's why HAGRID bought Harry's owl. To make sure that he got Mrs. Figg. Also, when JKR said "Harry's biggest fan will die." or something like that, everyone would assume it's Colin or Ginny, but it's going to be Hagrid. Think about it "BIGGEST fan". Those are MY predictons, anyway.

For a fourteen-year old, this girl is smart! A fangirl in the making for sure. And I love the 47-year old bloke. He's all "Yes, I'm 47, and I'm writing to CBBC. Want to make something of it?" Heee! And dude:

I hope Harry dies and Malfoy takes over. I also hope that Voldemort will take over the world and that Ron has a really slow and painful death.

V? Silvia? Is that you?

I think Snape and Harry will find out that they are related and his parents are really alive and didn't want him.

Um, issues much, kiddo? Not to mention the Osama Bin Laden theory of one of the kids. Muh?

Dammit, I was only just wrapping my brain around the concept of Britney and Fred (did I hallucinate that, btw? I know I read it on my friends page), and now rumour has it Brit's back with Justin? Ow. (Random thought: I do hope Brit doesn't expect us to believe she's still a virgin after dating Fred Durst.)

Saw The Long Kiss Goodbye yesterday. Bleached blonde Geena Davis kissing a bleeding, battered Lawrence Fishburne. Mmmmmmm.

Randomly, a list of movies that need to be slashed:

• The Defiant Ones
• Stand By Me
• Hackers
• The Shawshank Redemption

Heh. Another misread subject line: Your "PC's monkey-making power!" Obviously, that should've been money-making.

And in other news, people who cannot manage to use an intercom should not be allowed to exist, at least not where I'm going to have to deal with them. Same thing for people who, upon being told the person they wanted to talk to was out of the office, need five minutes to decide what to do next. I offered to take a message. A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice.

I'd want the English version, though, because the Dutch translation won't be out until after summer.

Oooh, but you can order English books! And plenty of them! I don't have any bookshops with a good collection of English literature near me, so I always use proxis.
You can also order DVD's, VHS and computer games.

And the reason why I'm pimping it so much, is because I got my computer game and DVD today.

Ooh, goodie! I should check that out, then. :)

Yes! Yes! Yes!
The packages don't take very long to be delivered, unless the mailman only delivers packages on Friday like mine.
There are serveral pay methodes, including the overschrijvingen (what the heck is the English word?).
The only setback is that it's sometimes hard to find certain books since the titles are spelled wrong. Then I just go to Amazon, search for the books, copy the ISBN number and do extended search on Proxis.
And if something is wrong with the book, like getting an audiobook, it's easy to return it to Proxis and getting your money and the portkosten back.

And, 'scuse the rambling. I'm extremely happy today.
