Back again. Perhaps after this I will have gotten it all out of my system. At least until the VCMG (Vince Clark/Martin Gore) album "SSSS" drops next week and the Soulsavers' "The Light the Dead See" (featuring Dave Gahan on vocals) drops on 5/21. So, let's wrap this thing up, shall we.

1. Talking about music. 2. A Meme. In (Black) Celebration (see what I did there? That's an album title. I am oh so witty.) of the official end to Depeche Mode Month (not the listening, just the actual first 30 days), I did one of those 30 Days Of memes, only I do not have the stick-to-it to post 30 days in a row, and really now, who wants to read ( ( Read more... )

It's been a busy few weeks, so I haven't been around. And then I heard the siren song of a meme (thanks eevilalice!) and here I am. I've never been able to resist a good meme. I shall call  it my Achilles' heel, and then pat myself on the back for working two mythological references into one paragraph.

So earlier, I'm here working my way through The Half-Blood Prince when I hear a weird tinking noise coming from the other room. I know Potter movie weekend is over, so Ma's not watching movies. Nope,it turns out she's watching some 6-part Biography channel Making the World of Harry Potter thing. My lack of television strikes again!

I'm finally starting to get a lil excited. A few minutes ago I posted "Two more days..." on my fb page. Not too "OHMYGOD! DEATHLY HALLOWS!" (which it is), you know, because I'm old. It's one of those things that could be anything (two days is Friday, after all), but if you know me, you know what I'm talking about. Two minutes later a sightly older- ( Read more... )

Last night's post was so long I did not get to open with my daily Potter World Cup update. Snape won. That's acceptable enough, (he is, after all, one of my favorite characters), but I'm still sad he had to beat Ron to do it. But, if you can't be voted the best character (even if you are), you might as well be voted the second best, so I'll take ( Read more... )

Babysitting and math homework helping has me two days behind, so I'm gonna do two-for-one here. Of course it does not help that there was some sort of all-night "hey, we''re gonna be upgrading your internet/phone software right when you were about to hit [Post Entry] on this" thing going on last night too. And now I'm about to leave again ( ( Read more... )

I just got home from babysitting and remembered I needed to check up on (and possibly vote again in) the Potter World Cup. Brackets are Serious Business! Plus that pesky Sirius Black was threatening to take out the character that, if I'd filled out a paper bracket, I'd have had going all the way to the top (or center, but you get the point). I  ( Read more... )

It's Potterpalooza 2011 up in here. Two rooms. Two screens. Two Potter marathons. I'm on Prisoner of Azkaban via DVD, Ma's on The Goblet of Fire on ABC Family. That's a lot of wizardry.
So now we're reaching the part of the Harry Potter meme where I'm a bit out of my element. Potter fandom is like a big scary city, and I just kind of hang out in the ( Read more... )

The Potter World Cup is like two dozen kinds of crazy (here's the bracket) and actual Harry Potter did not even make it to the Final Four. I feel kind of bad for him, seeing as he is Harry Potter and all. I just kind assumed he'd get in because there were no real powerhouses in his region of the bracket. The closest competition would be #2 seed ( Read more... )
