Harry Potter weekend
Friday 11:00 pm - Arrive at Barnes & Noble. Become one of the excited people mulling around the store.
Friday 11:50 pm - While reading a book about the Harry Potter world I realize that "Sirius Black" means "Black Dog". Feel embarassed that as an astronomer I hadn't made that connection before. There's a reason I didn't become an English major.
Friday 11:59 pm - Count down to midnight...20, 19, 18....3, 2, 1. Something like New Years in July but with fewer kisses and no champaign.
Saturday 12:40 am - Became the 286th happy owner of Harry Potter 7 to walk out of the book store.
Saturday 4:36 pm - About 200 pages into it. 500 some-odd more to go. :-)

So you never connected the name of a star that was part a dog constellation to an actually dog? The people that moved into the Gold's house have a big black newfoundland named Sirius! It did take me a while to connect it with harry potter, but there is no better name for a huge black fluffy dog than sirius!
