Haha, I can't beleive you rememebered that! Cheers Jany! Anywho, me and Melissa broke up. She randomly decided she didn't want to talk to me. Most people suspect it was because of her facist church(I'm not saying all churches are facist, just hers) which would kick you out if you had a boyfriend or a girlfriend. I don't really care for her at all anymore, she has become quite creepy. And Erica is an old friend of mine, whom I recently found out had liked me all school year, so I asked her out. Now we are all happy and dandy. Well, when it comes to our relationship, our lives are still no good.

Unfortunately, m'dear boy, I don't have it available to me at the moment. I moved back home last Thursday (where as your short term memory gone?), so I don't have my computer hooked up (this is the folks'), therefore I have none of the usual ammenities like AIM or MSN.

I am glad to hear about the lack of prostate cancer, but why do you keep ragging on Harry Potter? Not cool, yo.

Wow, someone else besides me, Rents, XChuck, and Suzee on this thread. It was down to the four of us when the last one got deleted. I am scared by the newcomer.

Remember when the countdown was started, and there was like, how many months to go? A half a year or so? Hard to believe we're down to 2 weeks.

For some reason all of the bookstores where I live have them now and they're not street dated items. Any idea why?

I got mine on the third and even asked the bookstore why they were selling it early and they said they weren't. So I checked the new releases list at the store I work at and it's not on for July 8th. It's not on the list at all except for the one we had last month and it said only July.

Anyone checked bookstores yet?

Proto, I think it is because we are basing it on when amazon.com is releasing it.

XChuck, a street date is a national thing, and when it's issued stores have to abide by it or they pay a $1,000.00 fine for every copy that is sold before the date. Trust me. The street date for this product was apparently July 8th and apparently a lot of stores either jumped the gun or the date was changed and no one told me.

I'm surprised Dennis didn't know.

I'm so disappointed. All this build-up and...nothing. But I'm still going to buy it on the 8th. Which, by the way, is 3 days away.

Well, ya' see? We make a big deal about something and irony kicks us in the ass.

I'm too cheap to go to a bookstore... half-price books is for me. I guess I have to wait until then... or my paycheck... I have too many books to read at the moment anyway...

Ahem. Yeh. So, how are you guys?

Dang it, I went to the bookstore and tried to get it, and the customer service guy told me it was "in transit", meaning it was either on a truck en route to the store, or sitting in a box somewhere in the back. Then he told me that if I liked Chuck, I should read "You Shall Know Our Velocity!" by David Eggers. I had kind of a bad reaction to that.

Yeah, so I picked mine up today and it's fantastic. Perhaps because I practically live in Portland a lot more stuff is funny, but it's a great book anyway. I haven't read through it all yet, but I'm a good way into it. Everybody should get it. (duh)

Kitty, as soon as I saw the words You Shall Know I went "NO! Not David Eggers! No no no!" The salesguy was kind of like, "Uhh....so.... not a David Eggers fan, huh?" Then we talked about it for a few minutes or so, and attracted a small crowd of half a dozen people. As I was leaving, I saw two or three people covertly pick up the book and start reading the back. It cracked me up.

There wouldn't be a lot of point in me wearing a nametag, unless I decided to run out to the East Coast to buy mine. Not like I'd run into any of you around here. :(

David Eggers wrote "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," one of the most brilliant but misdirected books ever written.
