Bit of Ivory

Well, after much throwing things, kicking, screaming and yelling, the
costumes are done. We wore them to the Halloween party last night. Let
me tell you, we were shafted. We didn’t win Best Costume. Instead, some
guy who taped some bubble wrap together, stuffed it with balloons, and
stapled some paper together and called himself a gumball machine won.
Ridiculous. [...]

I don’t know how I managed to do it, with all the things I’ve had to do
the past few days, but I’ve written the first few paragraphs of my
Sirius story. Actually, I do know how I managed to do it. I tuned out
my Literature of the Great War class and wrote. Already, it has [...]

My scarf is done. Now all I have to do is my tie and my robe. I will probably be able to
get the tie done tonight. The robe will have to wait until tomorrow.
I’m cutting it very close, aren’t I?
You’ll notice two new blog links: Confessions of a Little Twin
and Confessions of a Tall [...]

I feel very Hogwarts-ish.
I’m wearing my skirt, my knee socks, my loafers, my long-sleeved white
shirt, and my sweater. And carrying my wand. I still need to finish making my tie and start my robe. By Wednesday

It’s going to be tight, but I think I’m going [...]

Richard Harris died today,
of Hodgkin’s disease. I feel awful.
Because no matter how much I tell myself that this is a terrible,
horrible, tragic thing. . .
I can’t help but feeling a little excited.
Because now we’ll get a new Dumbledore in PoA.
I am a bad, bad, person.

A curse on all you Bujold fans. I just finished Shards of Honor.
How many books are there in this series? 13? With several short stories
thrown in for good measure?
I really don’t have time for this. . .

Hee. I loved the interviews on The Leaky Cauldron. They
were simply awesome. Mellie
did a great job of asking the questions we all want to know the answer
to– the shipping questions, of course. I can’t tell you how long I’ve
heard that Chris Columbus is an H/H shipper, which of course concerned
me; if Columbus put H/H into [...]

This
is SOO sad. Panda Express is one of my favorite restaurants. This
particular location is a block from my house, and only opened about 4
months ago. We were so excited when the sign came up that they were
building it– a Panda a block away? What could be better? (The only
thing I can think of is that [...]

Here’s
another search that brought people here. Can someone tell me why my
blog comes up on that search, but RJA’s, which actually
contains (excellent) fanfic on Snape’s love life, doesn’t?
