Hanging out in Second Life

Here's my alter ego hanging out in Brythony in Second Life - I took this snapshot after a bit of 'retail therapy' at Angela Jarman's SL shop:

In other news, I got my copy of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' today!  It took this long because I'd ordered it from Amazon UK.  Still, it only took 3 business days from England.  I recently sent a package via airmail to my sister-in-law and it took over a week to get there.  I'd say Royal Mail's a bit better on Airmail than the US Post Office is.

Peeking out from behind closed doors

I'm afraid to go out! I'm afraid to surf teh internetz! I pre-ordered my copy of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' from Amazon UK (because I wanted the original version - not the sometimes-altered US version), so I won't get it for several days (maybe more than a week). I just so don't want to be spoiled!! I have my theories, and I'd like JK Rowling to prove them right or wrong, thankyewverymuch. So far, I've managed to avoid spoilage by being careful where I surf - I've mostly been sticking to sites I usually lurk about in and not reading anything that could contain spoilers.

To pass the time, I've started re-reading 'Half-blood Prince', but will be finished with it well before my 'Deathly Hallows' arrives. The temptation is, of course, to go out and buy a copy locally, but that'd be a bit frivolous with my galleons, wouldn't it! Must...try...to...resist!!
