Harry! Say You-Know-Who!

152+161+141+157+138+153 = ?

Ha. Just kidding. This isn't a math test. (Though, if you were curious, the answer is 902.)

The correct answer is that the problem equates to the amount of time Sleepygirl and I spent watching Harry Potter this weekend. Give or take a few quarter-hours - who knew Quidditch scenes were SO LONG?

About the time we started the fifth movie (at about midnight), Sleepygirl decided we needed to institute a drinking game. A quick Google search brought me to the Harry Potter Ultimate Drinking Game and we were off. I haven't drank that much Bailey's that quickly since we went to Ireland, Sleepygirl. An hour later, we were cursing Harry's predilection for saying the name "Voldemort" or "Sirius" (4 drinks a piece) and weeping because we realized the entire castle is lit by candles and firelight (a flame in the shot is 1 drink.) We finally stopped to prevent ourselves from acting like Ron when he is cursed with slugs.

The upside of all this movie watching? Clearly, we are the mistresses of the Universe for having accomplished this feat, but more importantly, we are totally prepped to see Deathly Hallows-Part 1 on Thursday night. It's going to be amazing. Aussie was able to snag tickets for the movie at 12:01am (she is my heroine), so it's just a matter of getting through the rest of this week (classes, essays, writing a will, finding a sublet, trying to organize everything for the next 6 months, etc) and then life will be good for awhile.
