a prediction

[magicicada]

the last episode of MASH set some awe-inspiring records, including a 'sewage record' that was set when so many people delayed powdering their nose until the episode was over.

my prediction is that there will be strong and noticable drops in internet cruising from Sat - Tues. i'm curious to see if this will occur, but of course, not so curious as to risk the nets until i've read it. i'm not sure when that will be.

i have not yet arranged a purchase of the HP novel. for every previous novel, i have waited, borrowed & returned. my plan is to buy a reasonably priced paperback box set of the entire series when it is available. however, as i see my lj-friends going into internet seclusion one by one, my resolve is weakening. i do not need to spend $20 right now. my pauvre bank account is still recovering from France. still... i do not want this one spoiled.

Personally, I'm never on as much during weekends anyway. And I expect to be finished with the book by Sunday.... ;-)

I'll be on the net as usual and am not buying or planning to read it. I haven't thought of one potential spoiler that I havent already considered might happen. And truthfully, I don't much care ;p I used to, when I still thought they were fairly well written (ie. up to end of Book 3), but she's put me off the whole thing, and I might re-read Northern Lights instead. But.. I'll be playing LOTRO!
