The biology lecture hall at my school isn't really a lecture hall anymore, but a full and permanent classroom. My mother took Anatomy in that classroom in 1983, and I took Advanced Placement Biology there last year ( Read more... ) -

My friend Marissa is missing the "Let-me-make-it-better" gene.
Now, when I think about that statement, it isn't really true -- she reacts to most characters just as most women readers react to them -- but she also shows a curious lack of sympathy for some people. Take Draco Malfoy -- she went from "I hope he actually scores points someday" to "Oh, ( Read more... ) -
Ebert and Zevazo Cash In
So. Went to see Eragon.
The costumes? Spectacular. The props? Made me squeal with glee (and I've done a whole lot of property work). The settings? More than acceptable.
The dialogue? Atrocious.
Spoilers ahead, possibly.
I shall give points from zero to ten on each of the major features.
Eragon: One Point.
And he got that point on looks. He's so ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year's, all
I was going to try and post right at midnight, for the challenge of the thing, but I got bored. So ....
HAPPY NEW YEAR! (noisemakers!)
So. I can already give you a prognosis on my New Year, based on the following facts (this is the bullshit part).

GEN
" Writ" by (author unknown). Circa 1985, Remus pays a visit to a certain infamous prison in an ( Read more... ) -
The depressing "Normalcy" of Hogwarts
As an American high school student, there are things at Hogwarts which seem odd to me. Generally they're things that I just chart up to cultural difference.
But, that said, I am a high school student, and I am one of those people with a variety of friends that clashes like hot pink and fire-engine red. I spend time with a broad sample of honor ( Read more... ) -
FIC: Clarity
Title: Clarity
PG-13, 2500 words
Sirius/male OC, Regulus, Remus
Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
But the words just disappear
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

FIC: Things
Real informative title, ain't it.
Things (hah!) You Need to Know:
1. Remus was raised by his Muggle grandparents after the tragic death of his immediate family. He is an elective mute who rarely speaks to anyone but the other Marauders (and Professor McGonagall, he likes her). This is one of two scenarios I use for him, sometime I'll post them ( Read more... )
