The blasted Tori ticket site is telling me there aren't any.

I was e-mailed, you see, by the Tori mailing list people that there would be a special pre-sale for mailing list people. It would open at 1 pm "local time".

Okay, I was there at 1:01. It keeps telling me that they're out. At first the tickets were listed as RSVD and $37.50; now they're reserved and $42.50. Very crazy. I don't think they could have sold out in a minute, though. Either they meant California 1 pm and I'm a few hours late or there is some misunderstanding.

But I can't buy tickets from ticketmaster until Saturday, and I might not have time on Saturday, I'll be working in WI. Boo-hoo.

Anyway...

Since I worked at a department/grocery store years ago, I have always watched to see what people buy, especially if it is only a few items, and then I wonder if anyone else has ever purchased that exact combination, especially if it's rather bizarre. It all started because I was waiting to have my check cashed and the guy in front of me was buying duct tape and strawberries.

So my weird sale recently? I bought a neon "Open" sign, a space heater, and a twenty-five pound bag of rice.

At Best Buy yesterday I purchased "Robin Hood: PoT", "Beekeeper" by Tori Amos, and "Thirteenth Step" by perfect circle.

Mainstream, eclectic, and angsty. That's me. *giggles*

I'd love to hear about any other odd groups of items purchased in a single sale by you. Always a source of amusement for me.

Wow. I was wordy today. It turned out better than I could have imagined. I can't wait to get it out there.

Now, off to watch a bit of Robin Hood: PoT and fast-forward to the naughty bits.

This has to be the most fun I've ever had writing a chapter. Real melodramatic, angsty stuff, cut with realism...well, as much realism as you can have in the HPverse.

In moments like these I love writing more than...well, a lot of things. What an experience. I OD'd on The Beekeeper and now I'm adrift on a cloud of happy, happy, happy and accomplished feelings.

I am so psyched. I really think it might be the best of all the chapters so far. It came together near-perfectly.

Off to bed. Must sleep now.
