Obligatory Spoiler Plea.

Seeing as I won't buy the HP book until next THURSDAY, (or, if I cave early, Monday), I should be avoiding the internet at all cost. Seeing as I am addicted hopelessly to the internet, I can't. Willpower: - 3. Please, please, please cut-tag *everything*. I'm pretty gullible, so I get a small shock each time someone posts mock-spoilers.
Speaking of spoilers: I'm reading the entire run of Sandman for the first time, and I've reached "The Kindly Ones" and I think I'm spoiled and I hate it.
Otherwise, though, I love Sandman. I like nearly all of Neil Gaiman's works, but this is definitely one of the best. I also love how you can see the "American Gods" 'verse in embryonic form in the series. Also, I think it's fascinating that of all the Endless, I only find Despair frightening. Death, Delirium, Destruction and Dream are by far too charming, (and in the later story arcs, I've had to laugh every time Dream appeared. He's just so ridiculously, self-importantly emo. He's like this silly and weird relative you can't help but like) and Desire and Destiny aren't that impressive, but Despair? Brr.
I should be studying, but it's so hot and humid here that my brain is mush. I'm going to buy an energy drink now. Or ten, for the next couple of days.
