melancholy

The title speaks for itself, I think. Well, main reason is cause of the goddamn new Haryy Potter book, but at the same time it was very good and was worth it entirely. Besides, I've got my writing groove back, just like I did after I read PXI and got in a similarly bad-yet-not-quite mood. Funny how incredibly good things can make you all sad, but happy at the same time. Okay, so PXI didn't make me happy, that was something else (kinda hard to have something so depressing like that make you happy).

Well, yes, I read the Half-Blood Prince in less than 24 hours--it took ~23 hrs and 30 minutes, in case you wanted to know. Yes, it was incredibly good, and the fact that it's more centered around the characters' personal lives rather than the "Voldemort's out to get us, let's go kill the bastard, but oh wait, no one belives us" theme that has heavily laced the other ones. Well, Harry still thinks someone's up to no good, and of course no one belvies him, but that's about it, and nothing comes of it until later on. No, what's really actually strange is that its not (CAUTION: spoilers coming; read at your own peril) Dumbledore getting whacked or anything that made me all moody, it was Harry going all noble and breakting up with Ginny and then deciding to skip his last year of school to hunt down Voldemort and having Ron and Hermione decide to stick with him. It was just sad, but almost heartening at the same time, sort of. Well, for a while I'm gonna be desperately waiting for the next book to come out, but once I get thoroughly absorbed by writing and the Otherland books, I think I'll be okay. Only problem is I think that Mountain of Black Glass is gonna have an at least semi-depressing ending, so I might be in this mood for a while.

Well, hell if I actually give a shit. Besides, I think a little video game immersion'll be good for me, make me feel better, ya know? That's all for now folks.
