Harry Potter, Netflix, and Rude Parking...

The weekend was fairly low key. Just didn't feel like doing much, but the weather was nice so I did get out in it a bit more. In the highlight department...

• I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Saturday evening. Such an amazing book, I read all day Saturday, including a few hours at the local park on a bench. There are some surprising revelations and some more minor characters get some highlight moments. I'm sad to see it end, but thought is supplied a great deal of closure.
  
• I watched a nice horror flick called Session 9. An interesting movie about a group of hazardous waste removal experts who clean out the asbestos in a closed mental hospital. Naturally, spooky things happen. On the bad side, it stars David Caruso, of whom I'm not a big fan. On the good side, it stars a very handsome daddy-bearish Scot named Peter Mullen, whose accent makes me melt a bit. The movie was recommended by a British bear with whom I've recently started chatting.
  
• The house across the street has been rented by some local college students and one of their buddies keeps parking his car in front of my mailbox. If the mailman can't pull up to the mailbox, he has to skip me. Well, I saw this jerk's car there again on Saturday (NO MAIL DELIVERED -- a man needs his Netflix dammit!). After knocking on the door of the house across the street (no answer), the jerk owner finally appeared, so I went out to confront him. I very kindly asked him not to park there and explained why. I also explained to him that per the city ordinance, it's a $100 fine if he gets ticketed. The latter part caught his attention as most college students are poor. He promised not to do it again. We will see....
