Chicka, chicka, J.K. Rowling, J.K. Rowling

Everybody dig their weekend? Mine got off to a great start.

On Friday, I received a call from Scholastic Books saying that I had won two tickets to meet J.K. Rowling in New York next month. That's right!! J.K. "I write the bad ass Harry Potter novels" Rowling. She's doing a book tour next month in the states. She's only visiting three cities to do a reading from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for specially selected school children. But she is also doing a reading and book signing for 1000 fans. The fans were selected by a sweepstakes and that is what I won. I forgot I had entered the contest, so I was shocked and surprised by the call informing me that I had won!!! The event is on October 19th at Carnegie Hall. I kind of feel like I got one of the five Golden Tickets to visit Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory(diminished by a factor of 200).

Update: I was going to take my daughter to the event, but she doesn't want to go. So, I have an extra ticket. Hmmm...who should I take now?

I saw the pilot of the Bionic Woman with Amazon.com's Unbox service. It wasn't bad. The show is like Alias meets Smallville. Michelle Ryan has big boobs makes a striking Jamie Sommers despite the fact she's a brunette. I'll probably stay tuned for the boobs season.
