Moving to Edinburgh; Harry Potter; Leverage.
1. Moving to Edinburgh tomorrow, where I'm staying with [info]wrongeyed_jesus, [info]shirley_1989 and assorted houseguests for the next couple of months. It will be a fun but penniless time: I'm working at the Barnardo's vintage store (which is delightful because I am surrounded by fabulous clothes all day, but unpaid because it's for charity) and hopefully have an internship as a political researcher as well. Maybe after this someone in London will be willing to give me actual paying work. Anyway, roll on Edinburgh Festival! I'm also looking forward to spending a lot of time lying around The Meadows dressed in summer girlfriend outfits, reading books stolen from Intellectual Hector's shelves.

2. Harry Potter tomorrow! [info]sweetmintmojo, [info]wrongeyed_jesus and I have watched every movie together since we were like fourteen (thank god this one came out when we were all in the same country!), and HP6 will doubtless prove to be exciting due to the prominence of Draco (finally becomes interesting and hot!) and Snape (tortured and tragic!) even though Sirius is dead meaning no more beautiful Remus/Sirius love. But I guess it will be a little odd as well because we have all well and truly grown out of our Harry Potter obsessions now -- I certainly haven't read one in years. Still, I'm sure the second the WB logo appears onscreen tomorrow we'll all turn into a hysterical, hyperventilating fanatics once more, if only for a couple of hours.

3. The new season premiere of Leverage RULES. Am somewhat doubtful of the DVD review on BoingBoing, however. "taut, smart thriller?" Uh... no. It's like the cheesiest show ever. Although this season is already improving with a significant drop in the number of cliches per minute, plus they have decided to put Aldis hodge in a suit in every scene, which is an EXCELLENT MOVE. In all, it was adorable (Parker!) and funny, and the crime was ridiculous, so they have fulfilled the Leverage ethos of lightweight awesomeness.

P.S. Why is the weather so FUCKED UP? The minute I think I'll go out and, like, bask in the sun somewhere, it gets overcast and threatens to rain. MAKE UP YOUR MIND, SUMMER.

Vintage store! My backpack has 11 kilos already, but I think I can fit some vintage clothes in there :D

We'll be in Edinburgh on 27th July :)

Sweet! Well, all the vintage stores (including mine) are in the Grassmarket, which is just off the Royal Mile (the main street of historical Edinburgh). Also, we are having a party on July 28th to say goodbye to my friend who is moving to India. You and your companion are invited!

P.S. Meh, backpack weight means nothing, it'll live in the hostels anyway. I'm pretty sure my backpack for eurotrip weighed about 500 kilos and was the size of a rhino.

hahahah we are totally going to go to pieces of fangirl squee and you know it.
even though we have not engaged with it in a while, this is the book in which harry stalks draco, where their love is so bloody self evident it is whacking you hard on the head. how could we NOT enjoy this as much as when we were 14? lets not lie...

duhcakes. clearly it will be a harry/draco epic, because it is the ONLY book with any legitemate evidence for the pairing. i hope they include the crying draco scene. and the scene where snape writes poetry about how he is a poor sadface no-friends. wait, no, that didn't actually happen...

p.s. i read a remus/sirius ficlet earlier to remind myself about the beauty of harry potter. IT WAS ADORABLE AND TRAGIC. i love remus so much!

Meet us at the Scott monument at 8:30 on 27th?
Please respond, I'll check comments before the 27th.
43650 63 43 971 is my mobile number. If you want to give me your number, you'll have to add the two digits that say it's a British number, otherwise it wont work.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again! :)

OK, i should be able to meet you. what is your given name? you have told me this before but i am a disgraceful person and my mind always reverts back to calling you by your LJ handle.

Did you ever text me? Because I didn't get a text. Next time we meet maybe we'll manage to actually exchange working phone numbers.
