I had forgotten how much I like Cho, and I would like to know why she has to take the back seat. I like Ginny quite well enough, but Cho was there first.

ANGST. RAGE. RESENTMENT.

I am always so sad to finish this book. It's just so much fun. Also, mega-angst the whole next one.

Pink Eye. Conjunctivitis is Pink Eye. I remembered this fact as I was editing that part of the episode. Damn.

Here we go, time for one of the best! Are you ready for partially-veela upper-classmen? Are you ready for dragons? Are you ready for sphinxes? Sphinxi? Guess I don't need the plural, as there's only one.

This is a weird movie right? Prisoner of Azkaban is a really weird movie, in the context of the greater franchise right? I am not the only one who thinks this right? It's good, really good, but it's reALLY A FUCKING WEIRD MOVIE RIGHT??

I still have not finished Midnight Sun. You know what would be a better alternate-perspective rewrite of a story? One through Ginny Weasley's point of view, because she's a much better character than anyone in Twilight. Give us that.

Nostfallgia has begun; the leaves are turning, "Candle in the Wind 1997" is playing on the stereo, Bill Clinton is in his second presidential term, life still feels worthwhile, we're all reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

I wish I could be captured by a slightly evil witch that cut her own heart out and cast it in the sea but then in a YA novel twist she falls in love with me and we just share cigarettes and elbow each other and it's just too cute.

It's always fun to start a new book isn't it? Especially when the setting is of a largely maritime nature.

Or is that part just me? I like ships and the sea and shit. You should too.
