hmmmmm, quiche

Posted on July 20, 2005 By admin 1 Comment on hmmmmm, quiche

I made a bacon, leek, mushroom and cheese quiche last night. For those of you who think that real men don't eat quiche, well, think of it as a pig-and-egg pie and grow up.

Katy and I have no short-term plans to get married.

Harry Potter Mania

Posted on July 20, 2005 By admin 12 Comments on Harry Potter Mania

I just finished reading the latest Harry Potter book this morning on the bus to work. I'm impressed – compared to the last 2 books, it's quite well written and the storyline is solid. I'm really looking forward to the last book in the series, but that'll probably be in a few years now.

I've been giggling a bit to myself lately because people seem to be losing their collective minds over this book. The tin-foil hat brigade is out big-time online to try and figure out what's going to happen in the last book. I've also been amused at the antics of people who try and piss off the most people by randomly posting spoilers online. Hell, there have even been reported incidents of “drive-by spoilage” where people drive by bookstores and yell stuff out their car windows. Gotta love the fandom and the fan-bashers :)

Oh, while I'm thinking of it, does anybody in Montreal have my copy of Order of the Phoenix? I can't seem to find it here and it's aggravating me to no extent :(

Quote of the day

In the second scroll of Wen the Eternally Surprised a story is written concerning one day when the apprentice Clodpool, in a rebellious mood, approached Wen and spake thusly: "Master, what is the difference between a humanistic, monastic system of belief in which wisdom is sought by means of an apparently nonsensical system of questions and answers, and a lot of mystic gibberish made up on the spur of the moment?" Wen considered this for some time, and at last said: "A fish!" And Clodpool went away, satisfied.
--(Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time)
