Where Is It?!

Where, Oh where can the UPS man with my book be? My tracking number says the package left the Commerce City UPS facility at 9:30 this morning. Watch me be the last stop on the route! I need a nap badly, but I don't dare drift off to sleep for fear I won't wake up when he gets here. To pass the time, I caught the end of The Amityville Horror on tv. I thought I had seen it before, but I guess not. That was one BAD MOVIE. It was so disjointed. If I had't read the book, it would've made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I forgot to post about this yesterday. I declared yesterday Half-Blood Prince Eve Day at work yesterday. I was listening to Harry Potter music and constantly searching the Harry Potter related sites that I frequent. The art director asked me if I had seen the Harry Potter skit they had done on Saturday Night Live with Lindsay Lohan. Since I don't watch SNL much anymore, I hadn't seen it. Thanks goodness for the Internet. That was hilarious!

Edit:


Potter parties were a bust last night. I went to Barnes & Noble and nothing was going on. People were getting their pictures taken with the big cardboard cutout advertising the book, some kids were running around in lame costumes and that was about it. People were mostly just sitting on their butts waiting for the book to go on sale. I couldn't even get a Starbucks beverage because it was packed. I left and headed for the Tattered Cover. Stupid me forgets that there is a night life in Denver...especially on a Friday night...especially in Cherry Creek. I couldn't find anywhere close to park except the paid parking garage (I missed a day of work this week and can't afford to pay to park). I could've parked at the mall, but it didn't feel particularly safe to walk by myself from the mall's parking garage over to the Tattered Cover that late at night by myself. *sigh* Oh, well. Maybe I'll be in a better financial situation when book 7 is released and I can go to one of those really big, really cool ones.

Nothing happened on J.K. Rowling's site either. That sucked.
