    yet more potter

    if you don't want to spoil the ending of Deathly Hallows, don't click on the link below.

    I mentioned that I was a little disappointed by the way that Deathly Hallows ended so abruptly. JK Rowling did a 90 minute web chat with fans and goes a little more in-depth into the future of the characters following the end of the story. It helps a little... better than the epilogue she included in the book.

    Update: another link with more info on the fate of the characters.

    harry potter dead or alive.

    i finished the final harry potter book around 2am this morning. i always thought the movies were cute, but after the 4th movie, the goblet of fire, my interest in the series was piqued enough that I decided to start reading them. I would not consider myself a potter-devotee, I've only read the final 3 books, but they were a lot of fun. The last book especially, I was so involved in the story and stressed out. I wish the book hadn't ended as abruptly as it did, the majority of the book was full of so much traveling, for it to end the way that it did was just a tiny bit unsatisfying. But I will say no more, no spoiling here. I like endings, like the end of Return of the King, scouring of the shire and all. I think, after being with the characters for so long, I want to stay with them for a little while longer after the final climactic scene and see where they end up. All in all though, the book was very enjoyable and the ending of the series very bittersweet.

    quotes

    "In the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it." Barack Obama 2/10/07

    "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere." Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787

    "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." Mark Twain

    might morphin'

    I have had way too much fun with Morph Thing.

    Check out a few of the other morphs I've done.

    photoshopping

    I enjoy good photoshopping and Planet Hiltron has some pretty excellent photoshops of celebrities as "real" people. The visitor's gallery is very good as well.

    The internet crashed recently. Fortunately I backed up.
