Pop Culture Distractions

I'm looking for everything and anything to distract myself from packing up the freight truck that is sitting outside our apartment building right now, so I wanted to wax poetic on a book/movie and defunt TV show.

First, I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FINAL HARRY POTTER BOOK!!! (And the fifth movie!!!) I need to start plotting out which bookstore in SF will have midnight Harry Potter release parties and which movie theatre is best to see the fifth movie. I am that pathetic.

Second, I miss The O.C. Don't knock it 'til you've watched it. I swear. The whiny, emo music soundtrack... the misadventures of wealthy kids in their Hummers... drama-rama of teenage deaths, alcoholism, trips to Mexico... sigh. My life is a little emptier without Marissa, Ryan, Cohen, Summer, Sandy and Kirsten.
