Harry Potter ‘May’ Grow Up

Posted by Kim in General at 5:35 pm | Permanent Link

J.K. Rowling has hinted at more ‘Harry Potter’ books.

Writer J.K. Rowling hinted Thursday that she may not stop at seven books
about the adventures of the young wizard and may write a further
instalment featuring the adult Harry.

In a live Web chat to mark World Book Day, Rowling – who has always
insisted she’ll write only seven Potter books – was asked by a fan if she
intended to write books about Harry after he leaves Hogwarts, the academy
for wizards.

“Probably not. But I’ll never say never because every time I do I immediately
break the vow,” she replied.

Rowling, whose wealth was recently estimated at $1 billion, is writing the sixth
Potter book. “I can’t say when it will be released because that’s down to my
publishers,” she said. “But it’s going really well. I am loving writing it.”

She promised the latest book would include more romance for the boy wizard,
but hinted he would also face a terrible ordeal.

eBay Crazy

Posted by Kim in General at 8:56 pm | Permanent Link

Well that’s it I’m offically hooked. Can’t wait to get home and find the next
bargain. I think I’ll give this one a miss though….

“I, as emperor of West Virginia, have been appointed as steward of this sale.”
“You are bidding on the ENTIRE STATE of West Virginia. Please note that
this auction does not come with governing rites, nor the inhabitants of said
property. You also may not change the state flag, bird, or so on. This is
merely for bragging rights, or to hang a sign in your garage that says, ‘I own
West Virginia.’ Also please note, you will have every right to succeed from
the union, but that has been tried in the past without much success. I am also
willing to relinquish the seat of ‘Emperor’ FOR FREE!”

The attempt to auction off the state of West Virginia drew 56 bids and nearly
enough promised dollars to fill the state’s projected budget hole before eBay
learned of the joke.

By Tuesday evening, with five days to go in the sale of item number
2372779353, “Entire State of West Virginia,” bidders had bumped the ante
up to just $1 short of $100 million.

Within minutes, the auction was unplugged and the state was “no longer
available.”

“Obviously, this buyer doesn’t have the goods to sell,” said Chris Donlay,
spokesman for the San Jose, California-based online auction company.
