Undilluted Geekery

This weekend i have outgeeked myself in every aspect i can think of. Let me elaborate: on friday, at 12, i accompanied one my best friends to get the final harry potter book (not for me, because i had already pre-ordered from amazon.com). So i stayed for nearly an hour and a half wating in line for a book i wasnt even gonna buy, on a very hot night, i was drenched in sweat, and a little bit tired because i was with my backpack...and i carry half my world in there. Anyways, my friend got his book and i was along for the ride...i gues it was a cool night.

On saturday i went out to get a haircut and buy my comics (i havent read them yet), when i went to the comics i stayed there with a group of artists and pretty much chatted for like a an hour or two about comics, and comic-making, it's funny i was in a ditch with a drawing i wanted to make, and uopn talking to them they pretty much gave variation of what i had in mind (same angle and everything), and i saw clearly what i had to do. now its all about finding the time to sit down and draw it.

On saturday as well i recieved my copy of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows, and i just finished reading the book (2 days, cooped in my room, no tv, or videogames), it sucks....yeah right! this book is the perfect way to end the potter saga, no complaints from me, J.K. Rowling said goodbye with style, i love her writing style and her rich imagination, she always outshines herself in every book and gives this characters (who started out very simple) so much complexity and feeling. This book is filled with action, fun, and a lot of drama, it may be the toughest book to read in my opinion not only because of the finality of it, but there's a lot of deaths of very beloved characters...i swear, at the end i was just numb i was already used to some character i love getting offed (dont get me wrong i still suffered, but it wasnt as much of a shock). Im surprised for some reason i thought this was gonna be some lame-o ending but it wasnt, this book is by far the best potter book ever, even better than Goblet Of Fire (that was the most action packed) and yes even better than my previous favorite The Order Of The Phoenix (which was all about rebellion, friendship and family). There's so many plot twists that one can get dizzy (and they are all good plot twsit not the M. Night Shyamalan plot twist that you always expect at the end of his movies). At the end, it does sort of sucks that this is it, the end of the road for one of my favorite books...a book that challenged my imagination after Lord Of the Rings...oh well, i guess its back to dragonlance books
