First of all, icon love! Pictures from potter puppet pals, the words are almost Magical Trevor, and, well, everyone knows that Trevor the toad is Snape's animagus form. (I would be snarky with Neville too if he treated me like a toad ( Read more... )

Hello, computerful people of Swarthmore (George).

I have a problem. There's an icon that wants to be uploaded to lj, but it's too big, and the only way we can compress it puts it into formats that aren't supported by lj (Exporting it from Imageready, where it was animated). HELP!

I had almost given up hope that my Dumbledore-spent-the-war-years-as-a-messenger-pigeon-animagus theory would ever be vindicated. But lo ( Read more... )

I am now the proud owner of the coolest piece of sporting equipment in the world - a Shock Doctor mouthguard! I haven't fit it to my mouth yet, but I've admired it and its packaging for obscene amounts of time. It claims that it will prevent jaw fracture, TMJ disorder (whatever that is), jaw dislocation, and concussions, because it has a "shock ( Read more... )

I love ESPN.

Hahaha, that's right, I will be employed! I talked to the nicest man who ever ran a catering business, and explained that I didn't know if I'd be working at the bank yet, and that I'd be out of town this weekend so I could carry food around then, and he told me (This is the best part) that I should call him when I was back in town, and that if I ( Read more... )

I visited New Trier today - it was exactly how I remembered it, i.e. I stood around in the scrounge reminiscing about funny things that happened other times we were standing around in the scrounge, fangirled the Z-Dawg, and walked to Elder Beach with Elizabeth, Andrew, and Tom. Ah, high school. For a few minutes I thought they'd taken down all ( Read more... )

For what they are, the prequels are good. Unfortunately, what they are is a high budget, totally unfunny version of Van Helsing. An article in the New Yorker this week points out the inhuman antiseptic of Lucas's universe - not only is there a complete lack of drinking, swearing, bodily functions (Did you notice that a movie about war doesn't ( Read more... )
