Cancelled Plans Again

It’s always been hard to get a hold of DC and today is no different. I woke up to the sound of my cell ringing (I’m glad I didn’t leave it on silent). Even before I checked the caller ID, I knew it was DC calling to cancel. I completely understand why, but awww! No movie for me today then. The 5th Harry Potter movie will be out for at least a few more weeks so it’s unlikely I’ll miss it. I’ll probably catch it in August. I can’t watch it next weekend, obviously. That’s when the last book comes out!

I’m still undecided if I want to get the book at midnight. So far, I’m thinking a tentative yes even though I’ll probably go home and sleep as soon as I get it. It’s inadvisable to stay up late reading until dawn, unless you’re keen on getting an eye strain. That’s what happened to me back in college. I stayed up really late reading the fourth book of Harry Potter, unable to put it down until I finished it. The next morning, my eyelid twitched and kept twitching the whole day. I’d press a finger on it to stop it but as soon as I let go the twitch was back with a vengeance. Very, very annoying.

I wonder if there’s any way to read for hours and hours without the consequence of getting an eye twitch, headache or eye strain.
