Silly Site o' the Day

No, I won't be reading the new Harry Potter book. Not until it comes out in paperback in the UK, at any rate, because those are the editions I collect and I have trouble holding hardcovers and anyway I'd rather read the text in the original British than the version bastardized with dumbed-down American phrases. So, looks like Pen-Elayne will probably be as much of a Potter-free zone as it is a Rove-free zone ('cause really, what's there to say about the Prince of Darkness that every other blog in existence isn't already saying, making it doubly hard to slog through the reading list?), except to note that I have been rewatching all three movies on DVD in celebration, the first two last evening and the third one slated for today. If I can get through this horrid, painful, hours-long heartburn that's plagued me since waking. And my blog reading, of course. Isn't there some utility I can use to search by word and automatically "mark read" any post with "Rove" in it? Ah well, at least I can still smile, particularly when I come across brilliant ad parodies such as this one for the iFlea. Via Eszter at Crooked Timber.
