<h3 id="a000597">The One Where I Finish Harry Potter 6 -SPOILER ALERT-</h3>

<p>JK Rowling is a genius. </p>

<p>I just finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.  I take my Harry Potter pretty seriousy so it would come to no surprise to anyone to know that I bawled after reading the last few chapters.  Yeah that's right, I bawled.</p>

<p>If anyone reading this wishes to read further, please not that what I have written is pretty long winded and probably farfetched (and most likely doesn't make any sense) because I spent a good few hours thinking about the book (and rereading parts of the old books) after I finished.</p>

<p><strong>SPOILER ALERT</strong></p>

<h3 id="a000596">The One Where I'm Almost Done With Harry Potter</h3>

<p>I've only got about 200 pages left to read in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.  I've tried to stick to reading 2 chapters a night, and so far it's been successful ... but I know as I get to the end, I'll keep reading and reading because that's usually when it gets the most exciting.  I'll probably finish it within the next two nights and that makes me sad :(  I wish I had the option of <em>Obliviating</em> myself, being able to relive the magic of all 6 books all over again.</p>

<h3 id="a000595">The One Where I Hate Rachael Ray</h3>

<p><img alt="050727.jpg" src="http://nancyshmancy.com/asdf/050727.jpg" width="225" height="150" align="left" />Rachael "EVOO" Ray has yet another new show called "<a href="http://foodnetworkadsales.com/programming/programming_show.asp?id=101&amp;cat=4">Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels</a>".  And she's coming out with a <a href="http://www.detnews.com/2005/eatsdrinks/0504/28/ent-163096.htm">magazine this fall</a> ... just another two reasons for me to hate her.</p>

<p>Because not only does this bitch get to <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_id/0,1976,FOOD_18628,00.html">schmooz with the stars</a> (albeit B-listers) and snoop around in their cupboards, she gets to <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ad/0,1976,FOOD_9947,00.html">travel the world to friggin <b>eat</b></a>.  We ordinary people have to resort to Sbarros and other low-end Italian fast-food when she gets to go to ITALY to have lasagna.  And what's worse is her gustatory pleasure is depicted by rolling her eyes in the back of her head after she takes a bite out of what she's eating for all of TV to see and envy.  </p>

<p>Oh yeah, and the biggest reason why I hate her: it takes me 2 hours to cook one of her "<a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_tm/0,1976,FOOD_9997,00.html">30 minute meals</a>."  Although I'd have to admit I've never cooked one I didn't like .. and that's a lot coming from a person who frequenly burns water.</p>

<p>(Haha, I don't really hate her ... but godammit I want her job.)</p>

<h3 id="a000594">The One Where I Met Paul Feig</h3>

<p>We met Paul Feig!!</p>

<center><img alt="072605a.jpg" src="http://nancyshmancy.com/asdf/072605a.jpg" width="470" height="342" /></center>

<p>For those of you who don't know who Paul Feig is, he used to play some teacher on Sabrina the Teenage Witch.  And he was the co-creater for another show, Freaks and Geeks.  But what he should better be known for is the books he's written: <u>Kick Me: Adventures in Adolescence</u> and <u>Superstud: Or How I Became A 24-Year-Old Virgin</u>.  He is totally awesome (can't you tell from the photo above?), and I want him to do well, so here I am plugging him.  Honestly these are GREAT BOOKS and thanks to Charisse for introducing me to them!  And now I'm doing my visitors a favor (all 3 of you) by recommending them to you too!  If you enjoy embarassing stories about a teenagers masturbatory skills, you'll love these books.</p>

<h3 id="a000591">The One Where The Giants Lost 16-4</h3>

<p>I had the unfortunate plasure of attending <a title="San Francisco Giants : Game Wrapup" href="http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20050724&amp;content_id=1142779&amp;vkey=wrapup2005&amp;fext=.jsp&amp;team=home">the Marlins-Giants game</a> yesyerday which the giants lost miserably 16-4.  It could have been the suckiest game I had ever been to, but as the stands started clearing out after the marlins scored their 14th run in the 6th, things really started to pick up, for me at least.  There's something really fun about the collective hopelessness coming from the remaining crowd of faithful fans. several drunk men took their shirts off and one started dancing while yelling 'vanamos' over and over again.  Alex Sanchez got a very nasty telling off from a burly man sitting at hte very top of the stadium, whose voice i'm sure made it down to the field.  I personally started to laugh after kirk rueter gave up his what, 5th consecutive single... Oh it was so miserable.  Anyway what was the point of this.. oh yeah, I love baseball, even if my team has been sucking!</p>

<p>P.S. Ohhh, pretty sunset.</p>

Oh, Michael.  Didn't you know that facial hair was considered an "automatic failure" in our pre-nuptial/pre-relationship agreement?

I suppose I can overlook it, seeing how you're 95% naked, 99% of the time.

<p>Okay, so the SF Giants are, how do you put it, <i>sucking</i> this season.  But one thing will never change: our ballpark will always be better than yours.</p>
