No no, put away your swords, or shall I say wands. I am not calling J K Rowling, or any of you who write Harry Potter fanfics racists, I merely wanted to discuss the roles of the precious few Black characters in the series ( Read more... )

I would just like to wish anyone who has happened upon this journal a very Happy Christmas! I love this holiday, and as I can no longer sleep, I am cooking a huge breakfast and baking pies to surprise my dear wife with when she wakes ( Read more... )

Well it is quite cold this day, but that is not why I'm shivering. I'm shivering because I find that I can no longer read a Harry Potter novel without imagining Emma Watson as Hermione ( Read more... )

No, no folks, this is neither a post about bodybuilding or circumcision (Joe cups his hands over his groin and goes a bit pale), but about the pervasive "friends cutting" that I see happening around me.

Hi folks, some of those fun folks at antiemmaw introduced me to the wonders of Paint Shop Pro 8 so I've been messing around with the program.

Well I would have liked to shared this at the Amtiemmaw community, but they (or at least one or more moderators) don't want to hear from me (not that I've ever done anything that can be deemed disrespectful mind you), so I thought I'd just write this here for its own sake, it's not as though anyone likes to read what I write, but what the hey huh ( Read more... )

GOOD HEAVENS! I've read better fanfic than Kloves's writing and Cuaron's directing! What happened to the best of JKR's books? How could it have translated so poorly into a movie? It was like watching 2 hours and 12 minutes of a bad Mary-Sue fanfic written for the screen! It was so bad I've decided to wait over a month to see if my assesment ( Read more... )
