Hype

...Or, Viva La Resistance!!!

So, I'm on the bus today, reading my latest find, minding my own business. Then I notice the woman next to me deeply involved in her book, the new Harry Potter.

I thought about having fun with her by leaning in and saying, "You know, it's a shame what they do to that poor girl. That was a really adult way of ending her life for a children's book. And that little redheaded guy, do you think he felt like an outsider? Because, only a truly tortured soul could ever conceive of what he did to Harry's body. Anyway, are you enjoying your book?"

...but instead I just chuckled to myself and got off the bus.
