kjpepperThe good Laird 'as beamed up Scotty. RIP, James Doohan.
I've finished HP and the Half Blood Prince. I swear, Rowling writes more and more like a rollercoaster - you spend forever meandering upwards and then the ride's over and you were too busy screaming your head off at the end to figure out what happened. I just wish she'd get to the exciting bits a little sooner. I'm also glad that I didn't try to speculate on stuff or guess shit ahead of time, so I was properly surprised by a couple of things, pleased by a few others, and wanting to beat some characters over the head by the end. I also have to wonder if the movies are influencing her writing any... I know I can't read Hagrid without hearing Robbie Coltrane anymore. Anyone else hear or see any members of the movies while reading now? Right now my inclusions from the movie are McGonagall, Dumbledore (richard harris), most of the weasleys (I've got a mullet-less Ron, but Ginny I think is spot on... anyway. Not sure how to feel about the end, going to have to digest it some more.
Game tonight, then talkins with the boy, then good god SLEEP.
