Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Kat, you are being way more productive than I am. I am still praying for a snow day on Tuesday, so I have an extra day to get this shit done. I hate my pointless homework.

Debetesse, I don't have much choice. I can't seem to finish the work I need to finish during the week so weekends are really my only time to get my schoolwork done for the following week.

I'm gonna try to crank out Dante tonight though it's conceivable that, given that I've been up since 5:00 and it's now 7:00, I won't succeed. But it's worth a shot.

Oh my god. In looking up the spell Harry Potter uses to light up his world (is it lumos? am I spelling that correctly?), I accidentally stumbled onto a Christian World View Message Board.

must go bang head against sink now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ack, Kat, that is scary.

According to these two sites, yes, [link] and [link] it is Lumos.

Crap. If I use this in my paper though I'm going to have to cite either Muggle Net (embarrassing) or HP, (slightly less embarrassing). All for an opening gambit that doens't bore the snot out of me.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Kat, do you want a cite from a book?

I just accidently put up the xmas tree.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

The Harry Potter Lexicon is ridiculously complete with that sort of information.

I really liked The Time Machine, but now have to hate the movie.
Really? But -- oh, wait. You mean the 2002 version, right?

Poe really had a thing about being buried alive, as far as I can tell.
It was a Victorian thing. There was basically a media-induced panic about it. Some people had bells strung down into their graves so that they could ring for help if they woke up in a coffin.

Michelle Yeoh. How cool is she? None cooler.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You mean the 2002 version, right?

Yeah. Though I haven't seen any other version, and I'm not sure about how you'd make a faithful movie of it. Ah, well.

Bless Michelle Yeoh.

Perkins, there are pics, and I might even get around to uploading them tomorrow morning.
