In case anyone is thinking about it....

....please do not get me the next Harry Potter book for my birthday. It's a fine choice, but I've already put my money down on a copy, which hopefully will be delived in a timely fashion, and more copies would just be wasted. You may, however, enjoy my suffering as I try to remain spoiler-free (i.e. off the internet) while I read it.

And on a side note: spoil me, and I will cut you.

That is all.
