Brisingr!


Oh yeah I have it.

I now am the proud owner of the third book in the Inheritance Cycle.

WHOO!

Bet you can feel that excitement eh?
Well good, because I'm quite excited to have it.
Now i know you might not feel my excitement, heck I don't even know if anyone reads a word I write here, but this series is MUCH better than Twilight.

And the fact that when I went to go buy it, on the day it came out mind you, the store didn't have it, but had a huge display of all of Miss Meyers books, which kinda Ticked me off. Now I know what you might be saying, Were you looking in the right place? And to be honest the answer should be yes, but it wasn't. You see i went to Walmart looking for the book, because NORMALLY they have the best prices. BUT did they have a new release on display?

NO

So we left thinking okay maybe we can stop by again later and try again. And soon we found ourselves in a KMart. and almost as soon as we walked in the door I had the book, they had it sitting out right next to the customer service desk. So I had the book, payed 18.50$ for it too, but I had it.

So we left KMart and headed to church where i began to read the book, now i had an issue with my wrists hurting all day so i didn't get far, the holding of the book made them hurt more, but what I've read I loved.

So on the way home we decided to stop at Walmart again, just to see. Now we'd given them about 6 hours to get the book, do you think they had it on display anywhere by then? Nope. so i again asked if they had it and got the responce "well we can't check if we have it UNLESS we have the item to scan"

WHAT THE FUG?

You can't open something on the computer to see if you have an item? If I could find it I wouldn't be asking you if you had it would I? So he then goes on to tell me that "Just because a book is released on a certain day, doesn't mean we put it out on that day."

Umm Excuse me? You have the other books by this guy sitting out on display. with something on the front ADVERTIZING that the third book was to be released today. Yep cause that makes sence. So i had admitted defeat, when my Dad suggested that i go ask at the service desk. So I go up to the front of the store.
"Hi, I'm looking for a book?"
"Brisingr?"
"Yeah"
So the lady goes and pulls the book from a box of books, in total i saw THREE boxes of this book, all tucked away behind the counter, and the staff near the book section had no clue. Now Walmart wanted 19.50$ for it, which was more expensive than Kmart so i obviously didn't buy it there so i could return my KMart copy, but what i'm confuzed about is why do they advertise the book at 14$ on Walmarts webpage but charge 19.50$ in the store?

Just doesn't seem logical.

Well we pass another Kmart on the way home and i wanted some Pokemon cards so we stopped there too, they wanted 18.50$ for Brisingr so i figured i'd gotten the best deal i could find. but we did find a really great deal in the store. digital cameras for 25$. we bought three, but they don't work for what i want them to do so we're gonna take one back.

anyways i'm headed to bed so i'll see you all later

DFTBA

School

AHH!


School has started.

Damn it

I mean i like school and all, there are some great people there, but the routine is what gets me.

Wake up at 6:00
My Mom comes in and whispers "Cory my Cory, Good Morning to you" at about 6:03
I say yes, because by that time I'm usually fully awake, it's just the next couple of minutes that i fall back into being tired
When i get out of bed around 6:08-6:10, maybe later if i fall back asleep I take a shower
About ten-fifteen minutes later I'm back in my room looking up random nonsense on the computer
Then I leave my room to make lunch
then i sit around and i might eat breakfast
My sister has gotten up by now, and is being cranky
I get everything else ready
Then My sister walks out the door and i'm still putting my shoes on
we get in the car and she drives to school
Normally we arrive at 7:45
I enter the school and walk to my locker
I put my backpack in and take my books and such out
I walk to Pre Calc
I sit through that for 45 minutes
then i move to study hall with Lance, i mean Mr. Pederson
Onwards to Art
Now i have lunch, mind you this is at 10:30 in the morning, which i why i normally don't eat breakfast
onto phy ed, which is going to suck this year
now to band yay!
now it's time for composition

and Physics
the bell rings at 3:07
I walk to my locker grab my stuff and head for the bus
i get home
i sit at my computer
i eat dinner
i go to sleep

I may watch some tv on certain nights, but thats basically what happens during the school year.
Same old Routine everyday, now on tuesdays and thursdays i have jazz band in the mornings, so i have to get ready for school earlier so i can be drivine to school by my mother or Erich.
