You would think that I'd be done with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but I'm not. It's always been one of the hardest ones for me to get through. It's like one of the Triwizard Tournament Tasks itself. Like Harry I just keep putting it off because I've got my own classes to do work for, Yule Balls to attend and Rita Skeeter to avoid. If it was up to me though, I'd probably snuggle up and read under my down comforter everyday instead of dealing with the outside world. Wouldn't that be lovely?

So I have managed to read some of it, in fact I read a chapter on the Metro this weekend. I just haven't gotten around to the act of sitting down for a good two or three hours and just getting those hundreds of pages out of the way. The thing is, I don't want to think of it as something to get out of the way, I'd rather it be a pleasurable experience.

To rehash what has happened since I last discussed this book: I think I left off with a mad rant about Rita Skeeter around the time of the first task. Harry got through the first task, the Unexpected Task (aka. The Yule Ball), the second task and to top it all off Rita Skeeter is no longer aloud on the grounds of Hogwarts. Somehow however she keeps reporting on the going ons of the school's faculty, students and the tournament. The kids have yet to figure out how... Now, I know that I've spent a lot of time talking about Skeeter before, but I'd just like to point of that she could never write for Carpe Diem. NEVER. We would never publish her, she doesn't even write journalistically or attribute her quotes correctly. There's something wrong with her and her Quick-Quotes Quill and I don't understand why the Daily Prophet would put up with such a nuisance. Tisk tisk.

Well, Snape's just called Harry a big headed brat for the gazillionth time. While reading Skeeter's article aloud. I wish Snape would just get over himself.

I'm thinking that between now and Thanksgiving break I'll finally have finished this book at my own relaxing pace.
