no snogging in public

you know, that is just the most bizarre word ever: "snogging". they use it alot in harry potter and the half-blood prince, and according to my observations it means making out, but sometimes they seem to use it for just plain kissing (and yes, there is a difference, if you don't agree, too bad).

so yea, after work on saturday i started reading the newest installment in the harry potter series, and read it in record time! i started at approximately 9:30pm on saturday night, and took a break to sleep at 6:00am sunday morning. i woke up at around 12:45pm or so sunday afternoon, but i didn't get to start reading again till 1:20pm or so (i had to pick up some lunch for my brother and drive it over to his work). i read straight through the afternoon and was forced to stop at 4:55pm by my mother to go to church. i then picked it up again directly after church at 6:05pm (or so). at that point i only had 30 pages to go, and i finished sometime within the next hour. so that's the whole 600-some pages in under 24-hours including several hours worth of interruptions. yes, this is my new record.

all in all it lived up to its reputation, and is worthy of the title harry potter. it's exciting, unpredictable (well, i was able to predict who was gonna die, but i guessed that even before i started the book. it follows a traditional heroic journey outline, if that makes any sense), and a damn good read. i've noticed though, how small a part quiddich plays in harry's life as he gets older.

yea, so that was my weekend...
