I've been a bit absent....

for the same reasons a bunch of dorks around the country were...I was finishing the new installment of Harry Potter. I liked the beginning, bit of the middle and the ending was done well. The epilogue kind of annoyed me and the Ron/Hermione "tensions" was utterly ridiculous. We get it. They like each other. I think J.K. Rowling is great at plot and teenage angst but I think she really needs an editor.
