A full day of Potter...
Jun. 22nd, 2003 04:25 pmAround 7:30 or so Saturday morning, I woke up. The last time I was awake at 7:30 Saturday morning, I believe I was still up from playing poker on a Friday night. Getting up is an entirely different story. Still, I was up for a specific reason--I wanted to hit Costco to go pick up a copy of Order of The Phoenix.
Of course, since Costco opens at 9:00, 7:30's a bit early, so I hung out on HomeStar Runner and caught up on a bunch of the Stong Bad E-mails that I hadn't seen. About 8:00 or so, I took a shower and headed up to Costco. Getting there around 8:40, I waited along with a handful of others for the doors to open.
Honestly I didn't really know what to expect when it came to the crowd--I figured most of the hard-core fans would have either pre-ordered their copy or tried to pick one up at some of the midnight openings at the bookstores around town.
There were a few people there specifically for OotP. One guy picked up three copies, as well as the audio book.
Now, I had been on LJ since the opening and I had seen someone remark that they picked up their copy at midnight or so, and at around 3:00 AM, they were done. I, personally, spent the entire day reading the book. I started about 10:00 AM, and finished at 11:30 PM. ( A couple thoughts... )
Afterwards, I went down to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tiiguy's place and played some poker. Horrendously tired, my back and neck were sore from reading in bed, so I cut out early.
This afternoon, I watched "Serenity" for the first time. Why did Fox cancel this show? Stupid bastards.
