HP:OotP (No spoilers)

[mishaday]

The UBookstore party was pretty tame - kids here and there, and little nifty Potter-y bits. Lucy and I got stickers and hid in the Sci-Fi section before we descended on the food, and then waited five minutes for the lines to die down after the opening drumroll before getting our copies. The Bookstore had a good policy - they were ringing up receipts from eleven until midnight, and then at midnight with the receipt you could pick up your copy at one of three designated hand-out spots and zoom off to the nearest IHOP to start devouring it over chicken strips and fries. Cut down on the frustration and lines quite a bit. (Well, I harped, but mostly for the pleasure of griping.)

So. Um, I'm done now. Been discouraging the cats from snuggling up to me and the book since we got home. I really love Rowling for making her characters human and fallible. Adore her, really. She hasn't wedged out Flint or Austen, but she's working on it.

Done? & My Misha

[rhi]

So. Um, I'm done now.

::giggling::

You're *done*? However many pages, 225,000 words, and you're done? ::laughing:: I love it! Mine gets here sometime today; *I'm* going to be in Charleston celebrating the Solstice with Dragon. So, I'll get mine tomorrow, and read it in chunks over the next few days, then loan it to him.

You're done. ::still giggling:: Have a great day, Misha, and sleep well!

Oh! Remind me that I need to show you a pic of your namesake bear. (Well. He got named Mikhail/Misha since Misha *is* bear in Russian, but hey....)

Well. Wait. Misha looks like this! (They don't send the nifty brass pole with him, but....)



I love my bears!

::amused:: And here I am, at 8:10 am, thinking, I wonder when mine will show up in the mail.....
