NF PSL (HP and BD, too)
Wow, how time flies! It seems like I just welcomed in the new year, and here we are just a couple hours from September. And one of the good things of the Fall is the wonderful Pumpkin Spice Latte available at Barnes & Noble and Starbucks. I happened to have one at lunch today, I went to B&N to just get out of the office for awhile and to read a little. I’ve been really in to Harry Potter lately, much more than I have been before. In fact, I’m reading Half-Blood Prince now, having finished listening to Order of the Phoenix on my iPod a week or so ago. I’m also listening to every back-episode of both the PotterCast and MuggleCast. Of course, that no small feat, they’re currently 53 episodes of each and I’m only up to around 32 or so. Another week or so and I should be caught up! If you’re interested in Potter, check ‘em out!
I leave you today with a new album that I think you should definitely check out: Bob Dylan’s Modern Times (iTunes). Of particular interest, at least to me, is “When the Deal Goes Down”, it’s awesome! Check out the music video, too! It stars Scarlett Johansson (who was excellent in Lost In Translation) and was made to look like it was shot as a home movie decades ago. It’s pretty neat, check it out (if you’re on a Macintosh, use Safari, arg…)!
So are you actually physically reading Half-Blood Prince or are you listening? :)
And which version? Stephen Fry or Jim Dale?
Well, I’m mostly physically reading it. I have the Jim Dale version in digital form, and did listen to the first two chapters after I physically read them. I wouldn’t mind trying out the Stephen Fry version, but I’m not sure how to get it though. And for the record, It was the Jim Dale version of Order that I listened to.
Yea, I’ve heard good things about the Fry version, although I did like the Dale version (which is all I listened to). Don’t you think he really sounds a lot like Hagrid? And his Hermione voice cracks me up.
You probably either have to find it on the internet or else go to England or something, hehe.
Those HP audio books really helped pass time at work. :)
