Access still denied.

I am now thoroughly bored and frustrated in the wait for my email from Pottermore.  I don't understand how the whole situation has been handled so badly.  Firstly no email, and secondly the site seems to be 'down' an awful lot due to 'overwhelming demand'.  A bit of a fail on Pottermore/Sony's behalf methinks. 

Yeah, I'm kind of dissing Potter...gasp.  I do feel bad, but I am angry and I actually feel a bit hurt.  There I said it.

Trying to so hard to be one of the 1st million betas (Excitement, frenzy, lack of sleep, breath holding), succeeding (joy, delight, general boasting) and an other agonizing wait for my entry email.

So why after all this time have I still not made it into Pottermore?  The only people that know are keeping silent and a very low profile.  If Pottermore was to make a statement along the lines of "Hey guys, we're not ready, we'll try and be open by..." I'd say fair enough, thanks for the honesty, I can get on with other things until then.

I actually feel that the silence from them had created a rift in the Pottermore Community, the people it's designed and created for.

So right now I'd love to tell Pottermore to stick it, but in total honesty I'm too desperate to get in.  TURMOIL.

Dementors, drinks and Dominoes

Got in from work at 3pm and the Dementors have swooped in again.  It's dull, dark and depressing - my soul has been sucked out by #Pottermore and it's lack of invitation to my inbox.  It's either Dementors or winter, the latter meaning chapped lips and a vitamin D deficiency.  If only I were to get my email, I know I'd be exuberating pure sunlight from my inner soul...or is that a Patronus?

A drizzly day means a lack of customers, which in turn leads to boredom.  So I took this opportunity to create the 'Potterccino'.  Yeah yeah OK, I know it's just a regular cappuccino with a scar on it but hey, it gets a lol anyway. 

Watching a film called 'Pimp' tonight.  Not really my thing but it's got Royd Tolkein in it and he's kind of famous (OK so it was his grandad that did the really good stuff but he was in LOTRs - playing the friend of a main character; I can't be bothered to watch it again 'cos it bores me...yes I admit it.  LOTRs is not my thing).
Anyway, the point it, Royd is one of our regulars so we want to see him in action.

Royd in LOTRs - it's his real hair.

He was the most famous regular we have, but he's been pipped to the post by Marlene from Only Fools and Horses.  Bet he is gutted.

Having a Dominoes pizza tonight whilst watching the film, Two for Tuesday deal, although I could just get the garlic and herb dip as that's the bit I like best.

Off to look at wedding dresses now with my bezzie...I am a grown up really.

That is all.

Owl watch...waiting for Pottermore

To those who have made the Pottermore 1 million, you will understand the desperation of hitting that refresh button every 5 minutes, in the hope that the third access email has swooped into your inbox. 
For those that didn't make it through, I can imagine the maddening frustration turning to anger as those that have twitter on about being a beta tester.
And for those that have no idea what Pottermore is...then there is no place for you in my world anyway.
