Just Ignore Me- I'm not really here
I feel slightly ashamed at having been gone so long, again. Okay, make that really ashamed. Anywho, I'm really only back to use my next-to-useless journal to post a quick political link, so I'll hide it behind a little cut, so as to not bug anyone unduly:

Oh, Bring Back My Bonnie to Me
Well, it sure has been an interesting week. We had a small electrical fire in one of our photo-processing machines at work, I got a little promotion- and my car was stolen.

Infinite Monkeys with Infinite Typewriters
I posted my ESE!McG theory over on the new comm riddikulus_hp and one of the folks who commented mentioned that they had read an article that basically said the same thing on Mugglenet. Now, I spend very little time on Mugglenet, so I hadn't read this editorial before I posted my own theory ( Read more... ) -
Question:
Has anyone else been getting a lot more LJ errors than usual lately? My friends page only loads correctly some of the time- a lot of times I just get a blank screen. Also, I was trying to edit a journal entry and I got an actual error code. It just did not want me to edit that entry. I had to go to the main page and link to it a different way ( Read more... ) -
The Forest and the Trees
I've done a lot of reading over the years about Harry Potter; books, essays (some by very learned people), lots of Harry Potter for Grown-Ups and LJ meta- and it's occurred to me that perhaps, sometimes, people can't see the forest for the trees ( Read more... ) -
Woohoo!
Wombat results are in, and I passed with Exceeds Expectations! Whee! That means I have one A and two E's! Not quite up to Hermione's standards, but I'm doing all right. -
Houses- Elements, Assumptions and Generalizations
All this came about as I was musing over Snape's reaction to being called a "coward." I wondered if perhaps part of the reason he's so sensitive about it is that perhaps Slytherin's have a reputation for cowardice, like Hufflepuffs have a reputation for being not very bright ( Read more... ) -
McGonagall is ESE! (hey, it could happen!)
Professor Minerva McGonagall is ever so evil ( Read more... ) -
More on Snape and Dumbledore
The main reason I'm interested in this whole issue is because A) I want Snape to be DD's man, B) I want DD to have died for a sacrificial reason, C) I want Snape to be innocent of murder and D) I want Dumbledore to be innocent of suicide. ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Well, I just finished my first pre-DH reread of all 6 HP's. It was, as always, a wild and satisfying ride. Now I find myself at a loss for reading material. I can't start them over again yet- even my tolerance for Harry isn't that high. I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of John Granger's new book Unlocking Harry Potter, but it may be a while, as ( Read more... )
