Finished.....
Jul. 21st, 2007 09:16 amSo, yeah, a couple days ago I started reading the jpg version (bite me). I knew I needed to just Get It Over With and I also knew that I read too slowly to be able to spend all day reading....
I had got through Chapter 30 by 4 PM Friday.
We stood in line at Harvard Square for 2 hours for our wristbands, then Moony and I found dinner at the OMG slowest IHOP in the world, walked (way too far) to the hotel, changed quickly, and got a cab back to Harvard Square just in time to miss the Harry and the Potters concert. People were already starting to queue for the book, so we got in line, and aside from occasional forays to hand out Portus swag, stayed in line for another 2 1/2 hours until midnight. We actually got our books in half an hour! Got another cab back to the hotel, settled in to finish reading by about... 1:30? Ordered pizza. Took a couple breaks, for food, for vending machines, for a little breathing....
Finished it at 4:36 am.
I left the room at about 5:45, got home via bus and my two feet at 7:30, showered, tried to sleep, cannot sleep, and talked to Heidi.
I am now at 27 hours without sleep.
I wish I were not a. so tired; b. PMS'ing; and c. so Holy Crap, it's Over about the whole thing.
( MASSIVE, SPOILERY, AND PROBABLY INCOHERENT REVIEW )
Well... 28+ hours, no sleep. Must sleep. Probably have to resort to Movie and/or some alcohol to help.... Can't stop crying. Damn PMS. 10 years.
( Oh, and one more thing... )
