11 days and counting...
Of course, while that countdown refers to the big move, there's another countdown currently going on here (and indeed in most of the western world), because the wait for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is almost over. I started reading the books after the first movie and devoured all four in a matter of days. The frustrating thing then was that book 4 almost ends on a cliffhanger -- it's not a proper cliffhanger per se, but it leads you on more than the other ones did -- and whereas with Books 1-3 I had the next one ready and waiting for me to begin right away, it's been a year and a half since I finished Book 4. I have two copies on order from Amazon.co.uk. They better deliver on Saturday morning.
Saw Identity today too. Very interesting film, certainly enjoyable. It looks predictable, but it really isn't. Great cast too, with the always-great John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet and a bunch of supporting actors you've probably seen everywhere but (like me!) have no idea what their names are. Highly recommended!
With all the packing that (still) needs to be done and the Potter-reading that doesn't (but will be done anyway), it's sure to be a busy weekend. The clock is ticking...
