Printer ran out of ink, so I popped down to Office Depot at 8:30 tonight. Office Depot is right next to a Barnes and Noble. When I got there, a line of Trekkies of the Hogwarts persuasion wrapped around the building. Some even wore fake eyeglasses with big round black plastic frames. Kinda fun. I had to park much farther away from the store entrance than ever before -- there were exactly three spots available in the parking lot when I got there. Luckily it was a nice night for a walk.
What bugged me were the guys who drove past the crowd in a little beige Escort. From the backseat of the car, one spoke to the crowd through a megaphone: "Reading Harry Potter supports Satan. Don't do it. Don't waste your money, blah blah blah."
It was all this middle-aged suburban housewife mom could do to keep from raising her hand in an 80's rock-concert devil's-horns salute and shrieking "Wooooooo! Sataaaannnnnnnnn! Wooooo! Yeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!"

I hope to post often enough and well enough to keep you interested. Thanks for coming by!
