I found this, for the nerdier kids here.
I think it puts to rest any Enterprise vs. Star Destroyer arguments.
New bands you've never heard of and MUST check out:
Drive-By Truckers (The Dirty South, Decoration Day, Southern Rock Opera)
Umphrey's McGee (Anchor Drops, Local Band does OK)
Ween (not new, but brilliant nonetheless) (The Mollusk, White Pepper)
And a question for Bert: was your prof implying federalists, Kennedy or the Jeffersonians were bad? Or good? And why didn't you smack him for his asinine comparisons in the first place?
Finally, my thoughts on Harry Potter:
Harry will discover he is the final horcrux and will have to sacrifice himself to defeat Voldemort. He may or may not live through the ordeal; I think it depends on how Christian Rowling wants to make the story. He will face Voldemort alone, although Ron and Hermoine (and others) will help him get to the final battle. Snape, I think, will ultimately turn out to be good. As far as I could tell the only person he killed in Book 6 was Dumbledore, who was always a pretty clever guy. The Unbreakable Curse and Dumbledore's final "pleadings" with Snape together seem to indicate (to me) that they knew this would happen. Snape will likely aid Harry in getting to Voldemort.
In all my second favorite book, despite the kissy-makeout stuff. Although I guess that is what the kids do these days anyway. If I were to rank the books I would put them in this order: 4, 6, 3, 1, 2, 5. But I've only read 5 and 6 once each.
