Well, not a whole lot to report for this week, but certainly some things of significance. I’ve done a bit of work, which was good. I have also seen a few movies: Die Hard 4, The Bourne Supremacy and Transformers again with Anastasia.

A tragic accident also occurred. While enjoying a glass of wine with dinner, Anastasia managed to spill it on her laptop! While the laptop was certainly nearing the end of its useful lifespan, we had expected that it would last a tad longer. This has precipitated Anastasia and I stepping up looking at Tablet PCs for her. We put in an order and expect it to arrive shortly. It’s one of those laptops that convert to a tablet and looks very cool.

I also spent most of Monday reading the entirety of the last Harry Potter book, which I rather enjoyed. I still think that most of the Harry Potter books were in need of a bit more editing before they were pushed out the door, as they lack… something. I don’t know. I don’t think that a lot of the romantic scenes were as well written as they could have been and there were parts that lacked a certain fantastical realism. On the whole though, I rather enjoyed the Harry Potter books and am a tad sad that there will be no more. Although as I understand it, there will be no more about Harry Potter, however that doesn’t rule out any more novels in the same universe. So, fans may yet hold out hope. While Rowling herself might not write them, perhaps some other equally (or more) able authors will take on the challenge of writing about some of the life and times of Albus Dumbledore… or any of the other myriad of characters that have been introduced into the lives of so many. For all we know, Harry Potter could come back…. maybe in ten years or so, they’ll change their minds and Harry will have fast-forwarded to his adult life and will relate better to his grown-up fanbase. Ah well, I’m sure we’ll find out all in good time.
