Dishwasher advice I got from the stovetop delivery guy today:

@cleolinda: HUZZAH! Stovetop has been delivered; I can go pass out now. Also, appliance guy told me something interesting: dishwasher soap doesn't melt

@cleolinda: (it has to melt?) until a certain temperature, so if you run hot water in your sink before you start the dishwasher, you'll spend less time

@cleolinda: & energy heating up water and you'll get an immediate soapy cycle instead of just cold water doing not much of anything. So he says.

Another quick smattering of linkspam while I rest up for Midnight Harry Potter:

Half-Blood Prince Review Roundup; 'Half-Blood Prince' is witty, spectacular and one of the best; 'Harry Potter': EW review.

Heyman: Imelda Staunton to Return as Umbridge for Deathly Hallows; John Williams' Return to Harry Potter is Officially a Possibility!

I keep thinking Radcakes can't get any awesomer and I keep being wrong:

You've said recently that you would like to date older women. You know who's older, single now and likes British guys? Madonna.

Christ. I don't think that I'd do my chances of working with Guy Ritchie any good.

Gary Oldman reportedly taught you bass guitar on the set of 'Potter.' Have you ever considered starting a band?

No, he gave me one bass guitar lesson. [...] I haven't played bass in years, I gave it up because I wasn't getting any better. You have the realization of going, "I don't know what I'm going to do with this." And also bass isn't an instrument particularly that gets you laid. On its own, cool, but not like guitar, you can't really be a flash bastard with bass.
