…title of the March 1941 issue
Well, I finished “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” last night. My my, the shit certainly hit the fan near the end of that one, dinnit? And pity all the poor writers of romantic H.P. fanfic:) No wonder they all nutted up when the book came out. Personally, there were few surprises for me in this book. I mean, didn’t anybody else see the romances coming back around book 2?As for the much ballyhooed death, I had that figured out by about page 100. The big betrayal? I’m betting we’re in for a “Darth Vader/Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi” moment in the next book. I will say that the “R.A.B.” curveball took me by surprise. Anyway, despite all the necessary background exposition and a lack of action scenes, a good read…but I thought “Order of the Phoenix” was better. Now we only have to wait a couple of years and it’s all over.
In other news, this Saturday looks to be a busy one for Grace and I. Much scurrying around doing various errands and then FINALLY seeing the Wallace & Grommit flick. And Sunday will see me doing massive yard & garden chores.
On the gaming front (since most of you who read this are gamers), there is reason to feel equal mixes of terror and joy: Doc is tinkering with both a homebrew rules set AND a spiffy new setting. It is possible that playtesting of this Infernal Device may take place at DunDraCon.
And now I must go. More Thrilling Blog Stories later.
