Here’s a little tidbit: Don’t take the yellow sinus pills when you’re at work. Especially on an empty stomach. Because when they kick in, you’re going to feel like you’re tripping balls. And when you stand up, you might stumble. And the people who work with you might wonder if you’re drunk. And for the rest of the night everything you touch will feel soft and everything you see will look like you’re viewing it through gauze. And then you’ll really look forward to driving home.<\/p>\n
Somehow I’ve managed not to post about Harry Potter<\/i>. Here’s the thing about Harry Potter — I love it, but I like observing the spectacle from afar more than actually, say, waiting in line<\/a> for 16 hours to get the book and then reading<\/a> it in 14 hours straight, like some rabid fans I know. I’ve only read the first book. I’ve seen all three movies and really liked the third (I preferred Cuaron’s direction). I’ve always admired the five-book box set on Amazon (which is going for less than $30 now, which means I’ll own it by Dec. 26). And reading the stories today about Harry Potter madness, I was silently giddy for all the people who are so excited by this book and the lore it has contributed to popular culture. So I guess I’ll jump on the bandwagon a little late and, someday, work my way through books two through six in the next few years. I hope I can make it that long without hearing how it all ends and who dies. (I have my suspicions.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s a little tidbit: Don’t take the yellow sinus pills when you’re at work. Especially on an empty stomach.
