Probably Deserves A Post By Itself Anyway

I forgot to mention that I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows this morning. This post contains spoilers for all those readers living under a rock so you've been warned! Overall, totally awesome book but I agree with many that the epilogue at the end was either not necessary or needed major reworking. If JK's next venture into the Potter-verse is about Albus Severus and not his godson, Teddy, I will not be happy as Albus reminds me of that kid from Shane whom I, and everyone else I know, wanted to smack hard. (Oops! KJ warned me to never mention that movie again...) Ooh! Longbottom is now Professor of Herbology? What happened to Sprout? It's only been 19 years... I think Malfoy marrying a Muggleborn or half blood would have been a cool shocker but I didn't write this did I?

One of the best parts of the books was the two or three chapters where it was just Harry and Hermione and not Ron because he has always been the Cletus to Harry's Roscoe P. Coltrane. I also enjoyed finally meeting Aberforth Dumbledore and maybe I missed this connection from previous books but I thought it was cool it turns out Tonks is Narcissa and Bellatrix's niece and that their sister Andromeda married a Muggle.

Is it bad that I felt the most significant deaths in this book, beside Snape's, was Hedwig and Dobby's? If Ginny can't die then Cho Chang should of. (And why was she referred to as an ex? I'm reminded of "I'm over you." "You're over me? When were you under me?") Hagrid dying might have been good drama as well but whatever...

My mother asked me if she should read it. As she stopped reading the series halfway through Phoenix, I told her no but if you're caught up with the series then, yes I do recommend it...

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c

Reversion To The Old Ways

Since there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which of my posts get comments and which don't, I'm going post whatever I feel like. Sure, I love comments but I must face facts that I'm not going to get them. No, I'm not going to review every episode of every TV show I'm going to watch this new season again simply because it doesn't appeal to me any more. To be sure, I will write about some of the new series since that does still interest me but not every episode... I am going to go back to complaining about my love life occassionally though because, if I can't discuss it here, where can I? Remember that workstudy student I mentioned being interested in? Yeah, well she's married apparently and I think even has at least one child so even if she didn't commute from such a long distance, nothing is going to happen with that. (Boo!) This is the first time I've discovered information of this nature before I made a complete ass of my self so this is go

This Was Supposed To Be Titled "Brooms and Baseball" But, Now, Forget It...

Saturday, my aunt and roommate went with me to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix . Overall, I loved it but I'd be lying if I didn't have quibbles but there was much I enjoyed about it. In the book, I found the character of Luna annoying as all get out but she totally rocked in this movie. "I'm hungry. I hope they have pudding." Delores Umbridge was also great. I did, however, miss the heavy Scottish accent Cho had in the last movie. (My cousin pointed out that she still had one but from a different region. I say it isn't the same.) I actually approved of them cutting the Quidditch stuff out of this movie but the OWL scenes, including the studying, being cut was disapointing. They had the scene with Fred and George but they didn't make clear they actually left school so what really was the point? Speaking of confusion, how exactly could the students ride creatures only Harry and Luna could see? I'm pretty sure it was explained in the book b
