Harry Potter and the Asian Scrub

I need to call myself out before I crash for the evening. A couple of blogs ago, I criticized a woman who was watching that artist jump off the museum in Chicago as his comment on the 9/11 attacks. Her comment on the event was:

"It was fabulous," said Darlene Schuff, 56. "I just wanted to be a part of it. It's a happening."

And then last Friday night, I found myself heading out to purchase Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince and thus participating in a "happening" that "I just wanted to be a part of." And while, in my mind I can see a clear distinction because I just really wanted to read the damn book as soon as possible, I also understand that in a way, I criticized this woman for wanting to experience a happening. And thus, although I also think that Ms. Schuff probably finds herself at many a happening these days when she is not teeing off at the club, I have to acknowledge that my previous post now wreaks of hypocrisy.

As a result, Ms. Schuff if you are out there, please feel free to come and challenge me a Bloodsport-esque battle till one of us says, "Uncle!".

It's the least I can do.... BRING IT BITCH!!!

Where does the Asian Scrub fit into all of this?

The Asian Scrub is the first in a series of 7 books that I am writing about the adult Potter. Also in the series are Harry Potter and the Broken Condom, Harry Potter and the Drinking Problem, and Harry Potter and the Horrible Rash.

I work with Ms. Schuff and we found your blog post the other day. She is embarrassed she ever uttered those words, NEVER plays golf, and is afraid you are violent. Well, we had a good time laughing at Ms. Schuff expense. She does love a happening. Still.

Please assure Ms. Shuff I am not violent in the least. It has been years since I wrote this one... and who doesn't love a happening...
