I’m trying out this email posting thing. We’ll see how it works.

I’m just a little over halfway through the book. I just started Chapter 18 or 19. it’s pretty good.  Amazon.com got back to me, and I’ll be getting a refund of the cost of the book (so pretty much, all I paid was $4 shipping).. so I pretty much got two HP books for $20. Well, two once I can finally get to the apartment office & pick up my pkg. Apparently I have another one up there. what the hell? how many pieces of mail do I have?? lol :)

After I finish reading Harry Potter, I’m going to finish Incubus Dreams (talk about a change of pace), and then I’m going to tackle my bookshelf. I have so many books on my bookshelf, and I haven’t even read most of them.. (some of them, yes, but maybe 5% of what’s up there. maybe)

HARRY POTTER PREDICTIONS

(these are in no way intended to be spoilers.. I haven’t read far enough to find out anything definite. these are based off my own ideas of who is who)
HALF-BLOOD PRINCE: I’m not sure, but they have to be good in potions, obviously. RIght now, I’m leaning towards Snape or Dumbledore? Depending on when they were a student.
THE PERSON WHO DIES: most people have heard that someone dies in this book. I don’t know who it is, but I’ve been told to brace myself for it. Greeeat.
(let’s hope this works! lol)

SO…
I never recieved my copy. Joe seems to think the pkg at the office might be it, and if it is, I’m seriously pissed off, because the mailman never came to my door. I was here ALL. DAY. YESTERDAY. waiting. I got the note at 4:30 and went up to the office AND NO ONE WAS THERE. So I have to wait until NEXT WEEKEND to get it because my schedule doesn’t allow me to get pkgs, cuz I work the same exact hours as the office.

My trash can broke this morning. It’s been cracked since I moved, and well, now the bottom’s broken, so I had to get a new trash can…. so erm, I picked up a copy of the book at Walmart. I emailed amazon.com last night, I”m just waiting to hear something.

So I have a copy of the book now. Happy, happy, joy, joy!
I’m also going to the library this afternoon because the one downtown is open for a few hours today, so I’m going to drop my books off (except Incubus Dreams because I’m in the middle of it, and I know TC’s holding it, and I’m afraid if I ask to renew it, they won’t let me… so I’m going to return it when I finish reading it & just pay the extra fine for it. lol) and then go to Barnes & Noble to look for the knitting magazines I’m looking for…

And then I’m going to come home.
Well, I might eat lunch or something first.
But then I’m going to come home.
And knit. Or read. Or talk to Joe. I haven’t decided. Depends partly on what his plans are. heeh :)

SO yeah.. that’s what’s going on. :)

I’m very patiently (read: impatiently) waiting for the nice UPS man to DELIVER MY BOOK! I want my copy of Harry Potter & THe Half-Blood Prince! right now! nownownow!

Everytime a car or truck drives past my apartment, I get all excited, and then NOTHING!
I can already tell you I’m going to be one of those people at 7pm who are going to have to contact customer service at Amazon.com and be like WHERE IS MY BOOK!?!? I ordered it July 5th, so I ordered in plenty of time to receive it guaranteed today. I want it. :(

I’ve already cleared a spot on my bookshelf for it when I’m done reading it. :(

Right now I’m watching A Very Long Engagement. It just started, but I think I might turn it off so I can read the library bok i’m going to need to take back later. I’ll have to find out when the library’s open late, or where the drop is so I can drop them sometime this week. Because they’re LATE. latelatelate. Like my Harry Potter book.
