We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Pretty sure chocolate's canonically good for everything. It's like an aspirin/valium.

[eta: Er, HPverse chocolate. But RealWorld!chocolate's pretty good too.]

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Oh, I agree, the books are a fantastically accurate portrayal of Wicca. Wicca spells are all in bastard Latin, after all. Anyone who's attended a baby-sacrifice naked black mass in a desecrated graveyard knows that.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And I'd REALLY like a Wizard Chess set!

Emmett has one. Though it's not all giant sized.

Dude, if it actually works like the Wizard Chess in the books, I'ma steal it.

Also, all you Buffista Wiccans, I really need a Remembrall.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I want the Sneak-o-scope for Evil Co-Workers.

Is there anyway to adapt a Foe Glass into a Boss Glass, so you can tell when they're approaching your desk?

Also, Portkeys would be a good replacement for my daily commute.

I want to be able to send a Howler to incompetent cow-orkers.

I'd convert for the Remembrall and that time-turner thingummy. Though I'm not sure the latter would be the most handy time-travel device for research trips to 1811. OTOH, since HP is REAL WICCA! while all my other time travel fantasies involve Christopher Eccleston showing up with a police box, of course I have to accept the limitations of TRUTH over mere fictional fantasies...

What do you think that guy in Ohio was trying to do? And then the monkeys had to go and make fools of themselves.

Actually, the way the article was written (or, more accurately, the way the sheriff phrased that sentence), we don't know if it was the monkey or the dude who made a fool of himself.

My money's on the dude, because I maintain that a monkey cannot make a fool out of itself. It's a MONKEY!

I called DH to tell him I was converting to Wicca so I could fly and travel in time, and he said that was fine as long as I put a spell on his left arm so he could throw an accurate 120 mph fastball, because he's ready for a career change.
