This is the story of

a girl, who cried a river and drowned the parliament building.

You know something's wrong when you're crying because of work.

Daniel Powter says it's just a bad, bad day.

I think it might be motivation in disguise (the type where you're pissed and you wanna do something stupid like slashing your wrist and make someone feel guilty, but you don't because you have too much pride and you're terrified of blood so instead you decide to fight back the 'mature' way).

(Screwed up, huh?)


Edit:A pair of shoes later...









I'm feeling MUCH better.


---------------
Conflict in the muggle world

While bookstores in the rest of the world are selling the last book of the Potter series bundled with freebies and surprises, some Malaysian bookstores namely Popular, MPH, Times and Harris, have decided to take all their stock of their shelves (except for pre-ordered copies)because hypermarkets Tesco and Carrefour are selling them at RM69.90, instead of the bookstore retail price of RM109.90.
They are also cancelling any Potter events they had planned earlier.
One of the idiots representing one of the bookstores said, "It's not fair to allow hypermarkets to sell such a popular book when they are not in the book business."
Oh my pretty panties, it's called COMPETITION. Whether you are in the book business or not it doesn't really matter, does it?
Books and book lovers do not discriminate.
Thank goodness my pre-order is with Kinokuniya.


In other news: Moobs and I went to bed early last night, with plans of waking up at 6am today and queue up at Kino by 7am to collect my copy of the Potter book.
Needless to say, considering that I am still home, at this hour, to write this, we did not make it.


Edit: I've got the book, I've got the book! Not sure why I'm excited as I stopped being a Potter fan awhile back (he got too whiny for my liking).

But being one of those who pre-ordered, they gave me Ollivander's Quibbling Quill. Don't remember its purpose in the book though, does anyone?

I think Suelynn was referring to books that are frowned upon, in terms of content rather than pictures that normal bookshops won't stock hehe not magazines :P

Ooh i love the red loafers, niiicee!!!

lc.. hmm.. what kind of content? as far as i know, msian censorship extends itself to books as well, and there are many titles that are NOT available here, regardless of bookstore chain.

pinkgeek..heh..'great writer' doesnt have time to read, only 1/3 through..give me time ha (but so far have spotted dozens of opportunities for really cool movie adaptation, fingers crossed the producer will do them justice - esp the wedding thing).

ehhh.. you said you were going to get 'special copy'! what does it look like? SHOWWWWWWWWWWW
