Weekend Wedding!  
Attended [livejournal.com profile] zencohen's wedding in Austin over the weekend. I didn't get to do much of the socializing I'd planned since we had to hastily rearrange our plans to take the dog with us since in-house sitting was no longer an option due to continuing a.c. woes. However, we did make it to the wedding and reception. It was a blast seeing old friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in 20 years. (Don't mind me, that's me crying over my lost youth in the corner.) Catching up with friends, hearing about their kids, what they're up to...it was all good. It was also good to see how happy [livejournal.com profile] zencohen was. I hadn't met his bride previously but she's obviously good people if she has his seal of approval and makes him that happy.

It was wonderful to see a bit of Austin, too. I haven't been there in ages and I'd managed to forget how much I love the town. I have to remember to make road trips more often.

While cooling my heels in the hotel, I started reading Harry Potter. I'm now finished with Book 4 and trying to decide if I want to be spoiled as to who is going to die in the remaining books because I'm a wimp. :|

Oh yeah, reading 4 first would DEFINITELY ruin 3. I get the feeling the books are structured to lead the reader to make assumptions that Rowling then takes delight in upending. Sort of child lit meets murder mystery, although #4 was a bit dark for young children so maybe "young adult lit meets murder mystery." Well, *I* think it is but parents read fairy tales to kids and take them to see Disney movies about dead parents and such so maybe I misjudge kids.

I've decided to read #5 without spoilers and see how I handle it. If it's too much or makes me really anxious about what's in 6 & 7, I'll be back to bed for spoilers. :)

That sounds like a wise course. Hope you enjoy five. I'm still in the midst of it myself. :-D

I hope so, too. I'm sure I will as I've enjoyed her wonderfully visual writing style thus far. We'll have to compare notes when we've finished! :)
