I got a Gies-letter today--hooray!--in which I was chastized for not updating very frequently. I guess that's been true lately. ( Why. )

Whew! Lots of things to update about, and I kept getting distracted. LJ-cuts ahead ( Read more... )

So now, in addition to having a Voldemort's Tattoo on either arm, I now have a honking painful bruise on the back of my left hand, and a gouge in my forehead where I somehow clubbed myself with a fingernail ( Read more... )

I called Julia last night for her 25th birthday (and got Smiley on the line too, of course). They both seem to be doing well...except Julia's murderous instints seem to be kicking in again. Another two pets died this month ( Read more... )

I had to explain why Sirius was accused, and threw in the point about the ( Read more... )

Woke up and watched Saturday morning cartoons, which is just awesome. Also got a chance to see some PoA trailers that none of my computers can handle, which is even more awesome. *ee* Now I'm getting sort of excited despite my purist dread ( Read more... )
