This is just a short update to let you all know that I am still alive. It has been a week since my last blog post – this delay is due simply to a lack of inspiration on my part about what to write. Never fear, I’m sure I shall come up with something any day now. As it is, allow me just to tell you what I’ve been up to.
I read the new Harry Potter book this last weekend and enjoyed it quite a bit. A lot of people seem to be disappointed with it, or so I’ve heard, but I think that may be because the whole series has become so popular that its beginning to be easier to find things to fault than to praise. The hype surrounding the new release got so big that nothing in reality could live up to it. We expect nothing but the best from such a celebrated series, so expectations are high. So even though Mrs. Rowling delivers another solidly crafted, entertaining book, we are now harder to impress. Needless to say, I think it is a brilliant work by a brilliant author who really knows how to tell a story. It’s a great development of the emerging maturity of the characters and suitable transition into the final chapter of the saga. Too bad we have to wait another couple of years for that one.
So, having finished that, it is now my task to find a new book to read and time to read it, what with work, rehearsals for two different plays, finding time to spend with friends and loved ones, playing a requisite amount of video games, and, of course, writing in my blog. It’s a lot to handle, but I’m one heck of a guy. So be patient if nothing is posted on my blog immediately. I’ll get to it eventually, once I think of a subject. I do take requests, by the way, so feel free to help my imagination out a bit.
