So I'm sitting here at work with one more hour to go...all by myself...watching the Braves-Astros playoffs game, which is disappointing me, big time. I thought the Braves had a chance to win this game, but now it looks like I was wrong...Hudson and Bennett seem unable to pitch effectively..and the Braves' offense is not too great against the Astros' pitchers tonight. Perhaps Smoltz's return to the mound tomorrow night will help redeem the Braves and tie up the series. Here's hoping!!
Dork alert time...
I finished the latest Harry Potter super-gigantic novel, which was excellent! Still, not as good as my favorite (The Prisoner of Azkaban, which the movie adaptation did not completely do justice to). As always, I enjoyed the fact that I was surprised once again in the end. Being perhaps a little too kind to the character of Snape during the series, I was thrown for a loop when he was revealed to actually be a traitor AND the Half-blood Prince (who I thought would be Voldemort). And he killed Dumbledore!!!! That bastard...
I also felt a little bad that I believed Dumbledore to be Voldemort in disguise most of the way through the book...and his death and the ending chapters definitely toyed with my emotions. Harry's last true protector (following his parents and Sirius Black) is gone...and he will have to continue the arduous mission of finding and eliminating the Horcruxes (and then Voldemort) alone. Book 7, the final in the series, has a wonderful set up, and I can't wait however long it takes J.K. Rowling to spit it out! Geez oh man...will Hogwarts reopen after the death of its headmaster? And who the hell is R.A.B., and how did he/she know about the Horcruxes too?? I don't see how anyone can NOT love these books...
Ok...dork time is over...I can't wait for the temps outside to go back down...this mid-80s mess is cramping my style and should be confined to the South this time of year. Bring on Fall!
Oh man...the Braves game is just too sad to watch now...losing 10-3...I have faith that they will play better in Game 2. YEAH!!!!
Thanks for reading my blog...I've got to go trim some armpit hair...shhhh..don't tell my manager! heh heh
