Broomsticks And Owls

I saw a thread similar to this for book 5 as I cruised through the Great Hall, so I thought I'd start this one. If there's already one, and I missed it somehow, I'm sorry! Basically, I was curious if we could count all the way down from 1,000 before book 6 comes out July 16. Basically, list any and all things you'll be doing (HP and non-HP related) before the book comes out and feel free to post multiple times. Let's see if we can get down to "0"! I'll start:

1,000: Read and hang out at Starbucks with my friends who work there...and try my best to avoid the ice cream shop next door!

999: Finish writing the grant for work and finally turn it in. Hope I get it!

998: Waste some more time watching Netflixed DVDs of Felicity and Gilmore Girls.

997: Read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets again (after what has been a long time since I've read it!) and try to see how book 2 might relate to book 6.

996: Enjoy the party I'm throwing on Saturday...whoo-hoo!

Okay, your turn...

994: Finish my Desktop Publishing Basics Course (and maybe take an exam)

993: Finish my OotP Audio Book - this is actually a must as I have already forgotten a lot!

984: Go to work. *Sigh*

983: Eat a slice of the apple pie that's in the oven right now
