My Thoughts on the final Harry Potter

*WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS* I finally finished the book on Saturday. I had read up to almost the final showdown between the dweeb and the loser (you can decide which is which) and then took a break before finishing to see if I could figure out what would be Harry's final outcome. While I thought the book was good, it was not *great* in my opinion. It did not have the heart and soul that totally grabbed you like Prisoner of Azikaban or Goblet of Fire. While I did shed a few tears over a couple of the deaths (yeah yeah, i know, i cry over everything hehe), the characters that died were not ones that people really had any investment in. As much as I hate to say it, one of the Big 3 needed to die to really put some drama into it. I dunno, maybe Rawlings didnt want to scar any little kids for life or something. Anyway, I may re-read it next year to see if my opinion changes on it.....or not.

Forgot How Much I Luv Poker!

Playing poker at lunchtime with my fellow co-workers used to be a common occurrence. Today we played for the first time in a couple of months and it was fun! After going out in a blaze of glory the first round (Thanks Joel! >=/) I exacted my revenge in the second round. mwahahahaha Thank you Pocket J's!

Next we need to get back into the weekly lunch bowling too. I was finally starting to average 100. hehehe Okay, maybe that was for 2 games but hey! I was getting better. =)

Reading Harry Potter

Several of my co-workers (won't name names..cough joel, ryan, michele, michelle, ladonna) have been aghast that I have not finished the book. I really am reading it! I think I just get depressed that this is the last book and so I'm unable to read too many pages at one time. (Sounds like a pretty good excuse right?) I do wonder how it's all going to end, I get tempted to jump to the last chapters (just for a few seconds though!). I've never done that with any book though so I very much doubt that will happen. I better hurry and get it done soon though before someone lets the ending slip then I'll really be depressed! >=/

Adding to the chaos

Anyone who works in our department knows that we all have to do the same things. So when Joel decided to start a blog of course I had to also. (flashback: Myspace, Cybernations, Wii, etc)

Will there be much here? Maybe a few posts at first and then like all of the rest of our forays, it will soon fade away. hehehe

I'm now going to set up my Twitter account to complete the ensemble. The only thing is, is that I lead a very boring life so that's why I'm thinking i'll have to make some things up. =)
