During the lunch break I went to Coliseum, a big independent bookstore right across from Bryant Park that is going out of business. I was there to see if there’s any going-out-of-business good deal I can pick up. At the children book section, after a skillful persuasion from someone who own a wall of books, I purchased the hardcover copy of Harry Potter and the Globet of Fire. (Before I continue, let me stop you right there to answer your burning question of how come harry doesn’t …

Audiobooks are usually more expensive than the regular book. Even when it’s on iTunes, it’s still not getting cheaper. So even though it’s a good way of catching up on literature, I never really got into it. I have one book from iTunes and that is it. I come across this cool site LibriVox, it turns all public domain literature into audiobooks! Obviously all of the literature are classics that are at least 100 years old, otherwise it wouldn’t be in the public domain. …

The year is not even over yet but my attention is now focus on March 2007. Why? because there are a few things I am really looking forward to and they are all happening in March of next year. Here’s the scoop:
1) Pleo – the robot dinosaur that I vow to get is scheduled to be relax in March. And looks like the marketing machine is already starting up since a new article about Pleo appeared out of nowhere on Macworld and the pre-order starts December 24!
2) 300 …

There are some movie casting news today that worth mentioning. First up, guess who will be the Joker in the second New Batman film? Heath Ledger!!! Not to doubt of Heath’s acting ability (that certain gay cowboy movie does prove that he can handle more than just teen movies), but Jack Nicholson’s Joker was so memorable that, I really can’t imagine someone else can play it better than that!! Seriously, it’s gonna be tough to amaze anyone, it’s big shoes to fill!!!!
Another news is something that I am totally …

Finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. How does it stack up against the rest of the series? I think it’s one of the best in the series, I am not sure if it’s better than the Prisoner of Azkaban yet, but I definitely like this one as much. The flow of the book and the climate of the book are much better than the last book, It really grabbed my attention this time, keep me at the edge of the seat. I even …

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is finally released, buying it on the first day is of course a no-brainer~ I have mixed emotion though, consider that Book 5 that i possessed is not actually mine, it belongs to B, but since he don’t want anything to do with me, so there’s no way I can return it back to him. Book 5 is somewhere in my bookshelf that I dare not to touch. The whole HP series of books and movies are wrapped with the memories of me …
