Went to a French/English bookstore on Avenue de l'Opera at 12:15am, 2 hours and 15 minutes after their Potter release party started. Waited on line for 20 minutes to prepay for two copies of the book. (Harry was sick at home and couldn't come, but wanted it nonetheless. I am the best girlfriend ever.) Flipped through Domino magazine and the new Chocolate and Zucchini cookbook while watching costumed fans complete Harry Potter crossword puzzles and games. Interestingly, although the book has only been published in English so far, most of the customers were French.
Was somehow near the beginning of the line when the store employees decided where the prepaid hand-out line was going to be. Got on line at 12:40. Joined in the countdown at 1:00:50 Saturday morning and cheered along with the crowd at 1:01. Received my book at 1:20. Was home by 1:40.
Went to bed at 7:10am.
Good book.

i LOVE the chocolate and zucchini cookbook! it's beautiful, and i actually cooked a tomato tarte tatin out of it today and it turned out pretty well (good flavors, but the crust got a little soggy from the tomato's juices. i probably should have drained the excess juice before putting the crust on)
