I had almost forgotten I had this. It's a special charity book issued by Waterstone's, I think back in 2009. It contains a number of VERY short stories by various authors, including J.K.Rowling and Neil Gaiman, all written in the authors' handwriting, in what approximates a post card size and card stock. The J.K.Rowling story is a "prequel" to the HP series, featuring James Potter (Harry's father) and Sirius Black, back when they were teenagers. I'd estimate its length at about 1000 words.

Well, my account had been charged for the DTI-III set I ordered, but then the amount was recreditied to my account. I guess I'm not going to be getting the set. I fired off an email--not angry or insulting--just an inquiry asking for an explanation. Not that I expect a reply....

I had some friends down last weekend and we hit the sushi bar, then played poker and drank sake till about 3:30 in the morning. If only I had my majong tiles, we could have made it a truly asian night.

[srboone]

Sounds like fun!

[peteOcha]

Just be careful Dan, you wouldn't want an Asian night like the one in The Hangover II.
