Harry Potter...

Once again, I'm at work. It's almost the end of the day, and I'm bored, as usual. Not that I don't have a million things to do...I just really have no desire to get into them.

I'm stopping by Wal-Mart after work, so exciting...I know. I have to pick up the third Harry Potter book. I don't even know why I started reading them, I actually wanted NO part of anything Harry Potter. But last week, while I was in Wal-Mart ( I go there every week...) I decided it was time to pick up a book to read, that wasn't written by Zen Master Seung Sahn. At any rate, while I was looking at the books, I spotted Harry Potter and thought "Hmmm, why the hell not." So I bought it. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I wasn't halfway through "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" when I headed back to Wal-Mart to buy "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." Well, I finished that one last night, so I'm off to....guess...to buy the third one "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." I've enjoyed both books so far, and only expect that they'll get better. The movies, however...well, I was quite disappointed with the first movie. Not that it was horrible or anything, but maybe because I HAD read the book, I expected more from the movie. But...like they say...the book is always far better than the movie. In this case, I agree. I'll probably watch the second movie tonight, and see how it compares to the book. So....for anyone who hasn't read the books, you really should! They're easy reads, and quite good. I have a hard time putting them down!

Toodles...
