2:30 a.m.
Yes, I went to the Grand Hallows Ball at Borders to pick up my copy. No, I am not a Pott-head. I knew only two of the answers to the trivia contest, and did not go dressed as my favorite character. But it was a once-in-lifetime fun time, and I’m glad I experienced it.
I now intend to read myself to sleep.
Good for you!
I walked up the road (through the rain, uphill both ways… well, it *was* raining) to a little local bookshop, where the queue was… non-existent. Full marks for convenience, but zero for atmosphere.
I, too, shall read myself to sleep tonight.
I swore I wasn’t going to buy the book today but of course I did. That should keep me amused for the rest of the day!
