You didn't forget my birthday did you?

Yep.  I'm 28.  And what have I done?  Nothing?  Um...yeah...anyway.  I had a German chocolate cake.  My mom has been very sick as of late, one thing after another, some on top of each other.  So she had to buy it, it tasted good.  Hey!  My sister won me a GHOSTBUSTERS "plush buddy" from The Claw machine at her local WalMart.  I think she mailed it a couple days ago, it might arrive tomorrow (I know it's for the greater good, but I gotta savor these Saturday deliveries while I can!!).  My mom got me my gifts early, my Gramma AND my Mom's housekeeper Beverly got me $20 (each!).  Unfortunately I spent the vast majority of my gift from Gramma before Beverly gave me hers.  So I had $31 as opposed to the $53 I would have otherwise had...which is important b/c $53 would have been enough to buy that $50 BD player that Best Buy had for a few days, but on the other hand I would have felt washed out if I had spent all my $ on one thing, so I guess it worked out well either way...I bought the new Lindqvist book HARBOR.  He's the guy who wrote LET ME IN aka LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.  I think MOST people think the book is titled LET THE RIGHT ONE IN b/c the softcover had that title printed on it, and the softcover had that print on it b/c it was a movie tie-in, directed at people who had maybe seen or wanted to see the movie, which actually IS titled LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.  The original hardcover book of the text had the title LET ME IN printed on it, which is where the U.S. remake got its title from.  If the author of the book hadn't decided to come up with a whole new title when writing the screenplay for the movie, it wouldn't be so confusing!  But this is what happens when people's minds are allowed to turn to slush and details become irrelevant...Most people don't even know what a screenplay is!
I didn't actually read LET ME IN, although I did get about halfway through it.  I Just haven't felt like finishing it and it's been...6 months?  Maybe longer...since I last read from it.  This book might be the same way.  I paid a good chunk of $ for it, which makes me seem stupid I suppose...the list price was $26, but I had a 20% off coupon, which along with my B&N member discount, brought the total down to $18.  It would have been $13 or less if I'd bought it online.  The price last I checked was about $16, and 20% off that is like $3 or something like that...
