[03:02] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Date: 7/19/05 at 11:02AM
If there was ever a book that needs "To Be Continued" written in big letters on the back, this would be it. I'm not complaining, I enjoyed the book, but there wasn't a lot of substance to the 600-odd pages. I wouldn't go so far as to call it filler but not a lot really happened. I liked the way the characters evolved and for the most part that is what this book concentrates on, setting everyone up to play their parts in book seven. The book is moving out of the young childrens genre and into early teen territory with some of the concepts being dealt with but I don't think anyone'll miss out on anything - the non-applicable parts will be ignored by those who don't care about kissing! I'd like to know what happens next but I guess I'm going to have to wait - apparently the next one is out in 2007, let's see how long I can hold my breath for...
[02:15] Bourbon
Date: 7/19/05 at 10:15AM
I've been meaning to post this for weeks now but I keep forgetting and while I'm waiting for a maxed out CPU machine to try and reboot I thought I'd post it:
I've discovered the BEST bourbon in the world. It's called Bulleit Bourbon "Fronteir Whiskey". It comes in a pretty distinctive bottle that is mostly shaped glass with the name in raised letters (like the Carlton Cold beer bottle I think) but it has a bright orange crinkle cut label pasted around the bottom fifth. It is the smoothest bourbon I've ever tasted; you could drink it straight from the bottle (were you so inclined). It is apparently available in the UK and Australia as well as its homeland (the US). The website is mostly a useless bunch of flash crap but you can at least see what the bottle looks like.
