Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
What more in the name of love

RIP MLK

How pretty is Ginny in the new OotP pictures? Luna is a doll. Sirius's tattoos are back in force to silently "bare" witness to his love (*is a dork*). And... wait, could it be? A publicity still of Ron that doesn't look a) scared, b) goofy, or c) stupid? Thank you, David Yates. Honestly, I've been so distracted by book 7 and life in general ( Read more... )

I wonder where they are? My guess: behind the veil, rescuing Sirius so he and Remus can kill Tonks, get married, and have lots of puppies. :D

Today at work I'm transcribing a memoir written by a Mississippi man, covering the 1830s to the early 1900s. He includes this story about an old Quaker man who was rumored to help people escape from slavery.

Happy birthday to two of my all-time favorite characters: Ron Weasley and Aragorn! :D

I love my house. I love my job. I love bagels with cream cheese. *hugs the world*

This darling place is going to be my house as of next weekend. I almost cried when I saw it. It's exactly the image of the sweet little house I want. AND it's just off campus, within walking distance of where I'm going to be working. Sure, it's only mine for two-and-a-half years, but I don't even care. *dies of the happy*

How is Borat an adapted screenplay? No, really, I'm asking.

Not that I begrudge a Cate Blanchett movie anything, but why is Babel suddenly winning and getting nominated for stuff? All the critics hated it...? Did Crash set some kind of trend?

Big movies that never came to our theater: Babel, The Departed, Letters from Iwo Jima, The Queen, ( Read more... )
