Last day of work. Last days of work are a bit weird. You try and finish up all the loose ends, and you try as hard as you can not to open any new ones. It leads to a certain amount of "Did I forget anything" nerves, and "There's nothing new to do" boredom. Gifts are essentially accounted for (Helen's father seemed to decree that we were getting too fussed over what to get either of them....I think the man would truely be happy with just an orange, so we are just putting together some simple choices), I still need to get a bottle of scotch for my brother in law, but that's easy to find. Last day to relax before 6 or 7 hours of driving tomorrow. Monday (my actual birthday) was spent in [livejournal.com profile] carlin's company. We went out to supper, I ate a yummy beef vindaloo, we exchanged gifts. I received a very nice overnight bag with a care package of assorted things of which I have been apparently sworn to secrecy (they are *mostly* mundane things like toothbrush and deoderant, but also some non-mundane items) despite her roommate trying to manipulate the full list out of me.

The sixth Harry Potter book is coming out in July. The world is poised yet again to make JK Rowling even more stupidly rich. Who am I to talk though, I will probably buy it. Did you know that the kid playing Potter in the movies pulled in £1.75 million in 2003? Rowling isn't the only one who is profitting. Nice cash for a 14 year old.

Reservation at Montana's on Ogilvie road for 8 people. Name of Schilder

I've got a lot of maybes on my list, so the actual number might anywhere from 3 to 12 or 13, but so help me if I reserve for 12, and 3 or 4 people show up, I feel like a right ninny for using up the space. If we actually have more than 8, we'll just have to get cozy, I've got a big lap.

edit: 10:00, shoudl have mentioned that. The movie should let out 9:48 plus whatever time is used up by commercials (feh!) and previews.
