Today, I hung out with my close friend Harry. We went to Target so I could use one of the giftcards I got for my birthday. I got The Brothers Grimm and the 3rd season of "X-Men: Evolution". He bought Ultimate Avengers 2, and we went back to his place to watch it after getting some KFC to go. After watching it (it was great, though someone died at the end that we didn't expect to see die), we went over to Wal-Mart (he had some shopping to do). I looked around for a few things myself, but I didn't see what I was looking for. He had some time to kill before he had to meet up with Liz, so I suggested we go to my place. I needed his help to finish the final chapter of my PS2 game, LEGO Star Wars. He agreed, and his superior jumping skills in the game got me to the final confrontation between Obi-Wan and Anakin. I defeated Anakin, and thus completed the final chapter of Episode 3. We did some free play for awhile, then he had to go. I played my game for awhile longer, then had some dinner and started watching a DVD one of my coworkers (not Tony) had loaned me: Clerks.
I finished King's Sacrifice yesterday. I was kinda bummed about the ending: the main villain from the second and third book died, but not before contributing to the deaths of some other significant characters in the book. Sagan went back to the Abbey he had grown up in, and Dion got crowned king after Robes killed himself and the Galactic Democracy fell in chaos. Tusk and Nola went off to live less exciting lives as a married couple. Dion looked like he was going to marry a woman from another Warlord's family instead of the woman he met and fell in love with on Bear Olefsky's home planet. In short, the ending was bittersweet: Dion gets to be king, but loses some allies and the woman he truly loves. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a woman wrote this book. They seem to love endings where people lose the ones they love most.
