Haven't read the FL for a while because my brain has been sucked into Harry Potter fanfic -- mostly Resmiranda's Shadows trilogy, which is very vaguely Hermione/Snape. I have also now been seized with a desire to reread OotP. Hrm. I fear I am developing a new fandom -- I've read HP fic before, generally the highly recced gen stuff, but this fic is seriously eating my brain. And there seems to be an incredible dearth of Snape/Hermione fics out there. Well, good ones. More strangely, for fanfic, I'm not actively looking for very shippy fics. Really, all I want is Snape and Hermione interaction because her braininess and his snarkiness interests me. I have also run into what feels like fanon already (although I haven't read enough to really tell). Apparently, in fanon, Snape has an incredible sense of smell. Hrm.
Several buys at the store this weekend had really nice copies of books I read! This actually doesn't happen that often -- so my name is now on the Firebird ed. of Peter Dickinson's The Kin, Maureen F. McHugh's China Mountain Zhang (in the trade paper edition, because I hate the covers for the hardcover and mass market), the trade paper of War for the Oaks (finally!) and the hardcover of In the Forests of Serre. I am starting to itch to get all the McKillip's in hardcover just because the covers are so pretty. Oh dear. And I finally found a copy of The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I Mean Noel), which I am now happily trying to solve.
I posted my resume to Monster.com, finally. Have gotten strange email from an insurance company via it, which looks vaguely weird and boring, but I should follow-up anyway. Job searches suck.
I also managed to do a very horrible parking job yesterday and as such, now have a giant dent in my car door. Sigh. Fixing it is going to make my bank account not so happy with me -- maybe I can put it on the credit card and wait for next month to pay it off. Argh. Why am I such a bad driver?
The No Parking song from OMWF also keeps playing through my head, and I keep wanting to sing the lyrics whenever I'm looking for parking.
