Little thrills of anticipation

[mayhap]

Wow, I'm smart. It just occurred to me that I am working on Saturday from 9 to 5. Saturday is, of course, the day after Friday, and Friday is, as some of you may have noted, the day for camping out at the bookstore of one's choice for snagging a copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

I am so good with planning things, you have no idea.

Speaking of which, Amazon.com sent me an email a couple of days ago suggesting that perhaps I might enjoy this book called Harry Potter and the ... Goblet of Fire. Yes. Indeed. Very astute recommendation, Amazon.

I think I will mostly avoid the internet now until Saturday due to spoilers that are apparently rampant although thus far I have avoided them just fine. I've certainly not been around much during the couple weeks anyway, between one thing and another. But I'm really looking forward to reading this book and discussing it with you all behind 100% spoiler-free cut tags. :)

I'm stoked too...first time I've ever pre-ordered a book (last book I was stoked about I couldn't afford until paperback came out). As far as spoilers...I just put my fingers in my ears and go "Lalala I can't hear you!" Gives me something to read while they're working on my car.

I did the pre-order midnight party thing two years ago, and it was a blast. Everyone was so excited. I got a nifty plastic pair of Harry glasses, too.

If I didn't have to be at work at 8 Saturday, I might do the midnight release thing. But I'm too old to pull that kinda stuff off anymore :D

Hee. I think we were pretty lucky, since we were out of there by 12:20 or so. Not too late. :)
