I have talked to various people in various places about this, but I feel that it is high time I posted a definitive version that I can point to when I am asked about it in future.  So...

( How I Became a LeakyCon Presenter, And What I Am Going to Be Doing with These Newly-Bestowed Powers )

In the course of putting together this Leaky lecture, I have run across a website speculating about whether Hermione Granger or Christopher Chant would win in a fight, and about a dozen pitting Harry Potter against Harry Dresden.  I just do not understand why there is such a fascination among fan communities with hypothetical battles between ( Read more... )

Considering how much I don't appreciate drama in my actual for real life and how much I try to avoid it, how is it that Order of the Phoenix and BS4 are my favourite HP book and my favourite season of BtVS, respectively?  "The Yoko Factor" is absolutely one of my favourite episodes of anything ever specifically because it directly (and painfully ( Read more... )

I woke up twice before the alarm even went off this morning with IBS cramps, so the work thing totally didn't happen today.

Since Wednesday is Mum's day to run errands, I figured I'd make some headway getting caught up with Who.  As it turns out, someone has managed to delete the first two episodes of this half of the series off of the DVR, so the ( Read more... )

I had a rather confused dream last night, wherein The Doctor* and I were on a road trip and we stopped at my grandparents' for a couple of nights. After retiring to our rooms for the evening, we independently discovered that there was something sinister going on in the walls (of course there was) and began investigating.

While listening to the AVPS soundtrack (y'know, AGAIN) at work yesterday, I suddenly found Lucius' "Calm yourself, Yaxley," to be inexpressibly amusing.  I haven't a clue why it struck me the way it did, but it seems to have overtaken "...falcon eggs and ROCKS" as The Line Most Likely to Pop Up at an Infelicitous Moment and Make Me Giggle Like a ( Read more... )

When Magpie first told me that Team StarKid was going to be at LeakyCon, I was more worried about the inevitable mobs of fangirls than I was interested in being in the middle of all that madness.  My concerns were not at all allayed by the knowledge that Darren Criss would be one of the StarKids in attendance.  I enjoyed the live Potion Master’s ( Read more... )

I've decided I respect everyone's opinions and am myself too confused by the topic of last night's post to respond individually to any comments that have been posted or will be in future.  Also, seeing as I have listened up through

"Harry Potter
"Rescue Mission"*

I'm honestly too distraught to even think about it right now.  I have a feeling I'm ( Read more... )

I'm gonna babble about my thoughts following a conversation with Magpie. Feel free to ignore.

( Cut for your sanity. )

My two favourite parts of the HP musicals are undoubtedly the "Where have you been all my life?" moment with Ron and Harry and the bit where poor, recently-sacked Lupin "Alohamora"s open his flask and gives that little self-satisfied smile.  But right behind those two is the beginning of AVPS Act II, where Lupin apologizes to Snape.  Part of the ( Read more... )
