I'm really excited for Harry Potter Seven to come out. But also, I'm really not. Then I hear about things like Harry Potter Place, NYC and I'm excited again (http://www.scholastic.com/aboutscholastic/news/press_06262007_CP.htm). Then I hear about spoilers on the Internet and I get unexcited again. In fact, I'm completely paranoid. Last night one of Kevyn's friends called him at 12.30 am to warn him not to use Facebook or the Internet at all and not to watch the news because people are putting up lists of spoilers that are way more detailed than "Snape kills Dumbledore".
(Man, wouldn't it have been awesome if UPS had figured out a way to get owls to deliver people's books to them??????)
If someone in Barnes and Noble on Friday/Saturday ruins this book for me, I will kill. Or maybe I'll just do a Julia and shout "YOU WILL BURN" at the offending party. I am hoping that the Barnes and Noble in Union Square will be a place of owls and Jim Dale and a place of love and respect for Harry Potter ; the former are guaranteed, but I'm worried about the latter.
I will share with you all the sentence I read in King Dork immediately following the end of Kevyn's phone call last night that seems eerily befitting to the situation:
"At moments like these, it's hard to tell whether you're being too paranoid or just paranoid enough."
I need to go. I've spent too much time on the Internet today.

Alice. I am totally with you on this. I think I may have seen one by accident on a cruel person's profile. I am calling you tonight.
Incidentally, are you familiar with Dana Buchman, the fashion designer? She and I talked about Kurt Vonnegut today.
