Bit of Ivory

Rats. Actually, it’s not all bad news. Gary Oldman I can handle. Pam Ferris is brilliant. David Thewlis– well. I already said my piece. I guess I’ll just have to have faith that they made the right decision. They haven’t gone wrong with any of the other casting decisions (they even picked the *exact* actress […]

I haven’t been online since Friday, because I went home for the weekend and our dial-up went down. It’s not really their fault, I think it’s the phone company’s, but I was still without internet access all of Saturday and Sunday. I’m at work now, and I just barely finished catching up on all the […]

Today’s my dad’s birthday– I won’t tell you how old he is, though. If he wants to tell, that’s his business. I hope we’re going out for dinner (we’re all coming home for the long weekend) before heading off to Know Your Religion. I could really use some Salt and Pepper Shrimp. Happy Birthday, Dad, […]

Please tell me this is just a rumor. I’m prepared not to have Jeremy Northam playing Remus, but. . .they’ve got to pick someone good for the part to make up for it, and David Thewlis is not going to cut it. Absolutely not. I might even stay home from PoA if he gets it. […]

WAHOOO!!!!!! *Emily jumps up and down, then stops, looks around the library, sees everyone staring at her, but doesn’t care and jumps up and down some more* Seriously, I did. Gary Gillum, the […]

*Emily takes a deep breath* I just registered for Nimbus 2003! I’m going, baby! Tonight, after I get home from work, I’ll submit the proposal that Dr. Walker and I have written for our paper. In the meantime, I’ll formulate my argument for the Ron/Hermione vs. Harry/Hermione panel that I promised to be on (Angua, […]

Just a little friendly advice: If you can possibly avoid reading The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole, do so. *shudders* Having now read several novels that were popular at the time Jane Austen was writing, I have come to the conclusion that Austen was so far ahead of her time, she should have been […]

Just remembered I never filled you guys in on how I did last semester. I pulled a 3.5– 1 A, 2 A-‘s, and two B’s. Considering how little I cared about my grades, I’ll take it, ya know?

I couldn’t think of anything else to blog, so I figured I’d finally get around to doing what I promised Teri I would do ages ago– type up the Procrastinator’s Creed I bought at the beginning of last semester. Appropriate that I put it off this long, no? The Procrastinator’s Creed 1. I believe that […]
