We're going to see Saliva!!! For those of you who do not already know, Saliva is not only an output of our glands, but also a band.
D (good friend), hubby, and I got tickets before it was even announced on the radio. D was browsing the website of a local band concert bar we frequent and stumbled across the web announcement for Saliva. We couldn't find where to buy them online like we normally can, so we called. The girl on the phone didn't even know when it was or how much the tickets were, but we did - LOL. She said they were still in final negotiations early the day before, and she didn't realize that they'd already accepted.
Can I get a dang woo-hoo??? Or a hoo-ha??
We're going to see Saliva!!!!!!
Turtley day has come to pass. The new set-up is finished, and Doc is swimming freely in a beautiful 30 gallon square tank. I have a few more things I want to add to it b/c he only has one basking spot and nowhere dark to hide. I set the temperature too high, too. Two of the eight goldfish I got for him died in 24 hours. Another met his "prey obligation" very early in tank life. Doc is blind in one eye, but dangit, he can chase a fish!

Harry Potter
JK Rowling still maintains that the last word of the 7th book of Harry Potter is going to be scar.
My prediction is that the last sentence is:
"What scar?"
I listen to MuggleCast and PotterCast on my iPod regularly. Neither has brought this up. So I'm scheming. Well, they've brought the scar up and the question of would it disappear, but not in the sense that it has anything to do with guessing the last sentence.
Many questions are raised, including what REALLY is the veil in the Department of Mysteries (that's why it's a mystery, folks!) who is going to make through all 7 books alive. I think by JKR saying that the last word is scar, it might mean that Harry will live through the end... even if my sentence is wrong. It gives people optimism that Harry won't die. However, as tricksy as JKR is, the word might be a false hope.
Well, that was fun!
More speculation when I'm not bogged down in work.
5-18-06 update: MuggleCast 23 raises the question (in a nutshell) "If Voldemort had not been 'discovered' as a wizard as a young man, would he have been as bad?"
My answer: I think he'd have been a serial killer.

Worn out
This is what I did on Saturday. I have literally lost most of the grip in my hands from weeding and mulching for 3 hours. My whole dang body hurt!

'Hands On Greenville Day' Gives City Makeover
POSTED: 10:52 pm EDT May 13, 2006
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Greenville received its annual spring makeover on the 12th annual "Hands on Greenville Day."
On Saturday, more than 2,000 volunteers spread out across 71 sites to restore buildings, plant gardens and paint other areas.
"A lot of debris comes through there like bottles and Styrofoam cups and plastic bags, and someone has to go down there after every storm and pull those things out of there," said volunteer Norman Blore.
Volunteers also focused on areas like McPherson Park and cleaned the creek.

'Monster' Leatherback Turtle Nests On Hilton Head
POSTED: 4:01 pm EDT May 10, 2006
HILTON HEAD, S.C. -- 'Monster' leatherback turtle nests on Hilton Head
(AP) - A six-foot leatherback sea turtle weighing nearly one-thousand pounds built a nest just north of the Marriott Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head Island Sunday. The state Department of Natural Resources says only six leatherback nests have been recorded on South Carolina beaches in the last ten years. They're also on the federal endangered species list. The turtle's 77-inch-wide tracks led up the beach and into a midlevel dune, where it dug a nest sometime before dawn Sunday. Leatherbacks build six to nine nests per season and lay about 80 fertilized eggs the size of billiard balls.

turtley day fast approaching
10:46AM
My rock... err, turtle's aquarium is finally coming up upon it's yearly scouring and sanitizing. Yes, I clean the water, filtration, turtle, etc more than that, so don't freak out and turn me in to the ASPCA. Doc even has his very own shell conditioner (which is really good on my hands, incidentally!).
This time, we've already gotten him a new tank - it's so beautiful! I'll post pictures of it when it's all set up.
2:05PM
Geez... like I could be run into the ground anymore today at work. I have a MASSIVE overflow of work that ISN'T MINE to have done by the end of the day... grr...
3:01PM
Finally finished with the non-me work... I can get into my day 2.5 hrs before I go home!
3:27
Just chloroform me... please...
Good thing is that I'm listening to my Rent CDs... the ONLY good thing.

Bethany!!
I commented back under your comment, but I'm putting my answer here too!

I can't figure out how to contact you other than this, so here goes!
I found that at a place for myspace tweeks: http://www.getmusicvideocodes.com
You have to sign up now, but I got it before all that was necessary... that's why I've only had the two videos so far. I lost the acoustic version of Going Under, so I might eventually switch to the LP version. There's a lot of good tunes on that site, so I'm sure you'll find what you need.
Oh, and happy to have you lurking! Or not lurking now, as the case may be!
