My mother has so cleverly taken the receipt for OotP back to Hsinchu with her. Which means I can't pick it up until tomorrow! How will I ever survive?!
It's okay! It'll be okay! Just take deep breaths, in and out. In and out. In and... Hell, who am I kidding? Freak out! Panic! Make little whimpering sounds! Heh.
Don't worry, I'm sure you won't die from waiting. Gah, I'm so unsympathetic, aren't I? Sorry :)
If you are looking for any other good books during the interim, I might suggest either The DaVinci Code (which it seems like everyone and their dog has read now) or Angels and Demons, which is what The DaVinci Code is the sequel to. Entertaining reads, and a lot of "secret" history included in both of them - re: the Vatican, the Illuminati, hidden meanings / symbols in Ren. & other Euro artwork, etc.
Hey! Sounds like DC is pretty nifty... how's Marco?
I've been ... very hot, actually. Taiwan is sweltering. And I'm pretty sure I'll be reading those two books -- the boy bought The DaVinci Code, which means I can easily get my hands on it once he comes to California.
Woohoo! Gettin' all hot and whatnot, eh? Marco is doin' well; I don't know if you remember my friend Josh, but he's the one I'm living with this summer, and we shack up at Marco's every weekend, because he lives close to the "action". We even keep toothbrushes in his apartment. If at all possible, I recommend reading A&D before The DaVinci Code, b/c the sequel refers to some plot points in the original...
Oh, that's awesome... must be fun there with everyone!
I've.. mostly been doing absolutely nothing right now. Was in California for about two weeks getting stuff settled -- got an apartment, changed my cell phone number, got a car, etc. etc. but right now I'm just bumming around in Taiwan. Probably the most exciting thing I've been doing right now is buying pretty clothes! Hee.
