Am I planning on reading the next HP book? Of course. Am I planning on doing it this weekend? Hell no. Actually, I’m not going to go near a book store until sometime late next week. Possibly later, if the fuss hasn’t calmed down to manageable levels. I loathe fuss and hubub, and when you combine it with large crowds of harried parents and loud children, you get a very effective Julie-be-gone potion.

This is the same reason I try to avoid seeing (big) movies on opening weekend. Crowds and fuss and noise suck.

All that being said, I really want to read the damm thing. Yes, Chris, I’ve been converted. Happy? :)
