I've been watching a lot of Shameless. I remembered seeing a couple of episodes when it was on telly, and discovered it was on the Watch Online thing, so gave it a go. 26 episodes in about four days later, I am UTTERLY smitten and addicted and IAN and STEVE and LIP and VERONICAANDKEV and DEBS OMFG DEBS YOU ARE THE BEST EVER. And IAN, did I mention ( Read more... )

It's that time of the week again - the time when I remember to go over to the Empire website (mostly) and trawl through going 'awesome!' and 'what?' and 'OH NO' and so on.

So, Bruno. I suspect Bruno will be too cringey and strange for my taste in general (I approve of making fun homophobic Americans and I generally like Sacha Baron Cohen but... I ( Read more... )

OKAY THEN.

JK Rowling confirms Dumbledore was gay.

Actual news, as far as I can tell. This is pretty glorious, really.

I am a bit sad that she was there, she was in the gay place in her head with someone... and while the fact that it was Dumbledore is completely awesome, you've got to wonder whether it just didn't occur to her about Remus or ( Read more... )

In wibbling news, today I am made of approximately 55% win and 45% pure fail. Still clinging to my winningness by my fingernails, but tomorrow I will remember to bring sweeteners to the office...

Using this icon only because it is my Harry Potter icon. It is usually my 'I'm really pissed off' icon, but not this time.

I liked it. I laughed, I cried, I clutched the book joyfully to my chest, I shook it as if I could stop the characters doing the really stupid thing they were about to do. Good book.

( Cut for all the spoilers. All of them. )

SHOEBOX. There is NEW SHOEBOX. It's a very short, very silly fake Deathly Hallows ending. But it is still great. 'Poor, poor, dead Tonks who I was very fond of.' Hehe ( Read more... )

Harry Potter/Equus manip icons. GAH. Genius, but GAH. Not very worksafe either.

I should probably have sensible things to say to go along with the silly link, but I don't think I have actually. Possibly because the icons broke my brain.

I'm not even that big a Harry Potter fan. Honestly. But. Kindly pointed to by skulling: Potter Puppet Pals in...
Bothering Snape
Trouble at Hogwarts
Potions Class
Wizard Angst

It's a bit like iharthdarth...

Ohdear. The Harry Potter 7 cover designs are out and I am aware of them because of the metaquotes. The US one's kinda silly. The UK one is just ugly. I requote, because they have it about right...

On the UK version,
