Friday Five & Harry Potter

Friday, Jul. 27, 2007 - 1:17 a.m.

First off, here's another opportunity for cat-lovers everywhere to do the whirly twirly butt dance and say "Go, kitty! Go, kitty! Go, kitty!"

The technicians who worked on the US embassy in Baghdad have claimed that they were forced to sleep in crowded conditions, work in stifling heat, and only paid three hundred dollars a month, and are now whining about 'slave conditions.'

Actually, that's almost precisely the conditions our troops are facing right now.

But THEY aren't whining.

The UK Version of HP&tDH *finally* got here Thursday!

It's gorgeous.

And the pages are all here.

Today's Friday Five:

What item would you be embarrassed for people to know you own?

If I weren't embarrassed, I suppose I'd share that with y'all, wouldn't I? Heh heh

What is something you splurged on just for you?

I bought a fancy bra a couple of years ago with a three figure price and a set of washing instructions that says something along the lines of 'Do not wring. No bleach. Hand wash separately only on every third Tuesday. Line dry only. Use only filtered water. Do not look at it wrong. Do not make it sad. Do not make it eat vegetables' . Well, it wasn't quite that bad, but you get the idea.

What is something that you own with no real world value that is priceless to you?

I have a rusted old section of chain that used to be wrapped around a hanging lamp that my father made for me. It's in my altar.

Do you collect anything?

Bunny rabbits. Mostly stuffed one, but there's a few porcelain ones around.

What item belonging to a friend/family member do you covet?

Nothing right now. I'm content.

Okay, the link is to the left.

There you go. Have a good Friday!
