Holiday diary, part one

Hurrah, internet connection! Bought modem cable and connected it to the phone network after data jack wouldn't work and it does work!
( Now, without further ado, update )

(Most) Goths aren't Satanists!

Don't know if this has been in the UK news, a 16-year-old shot at two teachers and then killed himself on Wednesday in a town about 30 miles from my hometown.
Now it has emerged that he was involved in the "gothic scene" and allegedly celebrated black masses at the cemetery. Again, goths and satanists are mentioned in the same breath.
Oh, and obviously, he was listening to Heavy Metal as well.

Grrrrrr

My take on Order of the Phoenix

Order of the Phoenix

Hm, not bad, not particularly exciting, either. PoA and GoF were better. It's the longest but also the most disjointed book and the last quarter seems rather rushed.
At least we know more about Harry's and Voldemort's history.
It's a bit like The Empire Strikes Back, things happen, stuff is explained but there is no definite end (V not defeated or even weakened, he just lost a couple of his followers), with the difference that Empire is the best SW film.
( Spoilers, just in case somebody still hasn't read it )
