Insert Harry Potter cliche here

It's two days before the last book comes out and I have to stop looking at the Internet.

With news of the photos of the book leaked online, followed by the fact crazy fans were transcribing the book from the photos (nevermind some of the photos required Photoshop to become legible), it was inevitable spoilers would fly about. (Notice I stopped short of inserting a Quidditch cliche there. Come up with your own.)

Daorcey came home with the news the New York Times already printed a review and the Toronto Star, in all its classiness, printed who died.

So it's very hard to stay away from spoilers especially when previous experiences have taught me that being spoiled beforehand does not pay off.

What? All the slayers-in-waiting get activated? Wuh? Tigh's a Cylon?

Here's hoping Friday slips by and Saturday arrives with a letter carrier holding the last book with my name on it.

The Star printed who dies? That's the GOOD Toronto paper! Hang in there, Nat. Stay ignorant!

It's interesting to note that the Guardian printed a lot of public anger (in the form of letters and articles) about international newspapers breaking the embargo. It's also interesting that a G&M contact of mine that he figures this was an embargo begging to be broken.
