Sidenote on memes
Er, about that "comment if you read me" thing? If you're on my friendslist, I read you. Except when I have been off to the beach for the weekend and am just coming back around to coping with work email (we are in the stage of academic summer known as I Won't Go Back, You Can't Make Me). And it's not unknown for me to skim through a really long ( Read more... ) -

That whole thing about not reading HBP on Saturday afternoon?
Hahahahahahahahahaha.
(And I skimmed all the really dull Gemara for Kiddushin chp. 2 before mincha. Good thing I am One Of Those People Who Reads Ridiculously Fast. Also, it's summer. Yay, long days. Now, if I hadn't had to spend yesterday shoveling out my home office ( Read more... ) -

Before I leap into my monthly routine of cooking simultaneously for dinner tonight and kiddush lunch tomorrow (my own fault, really), I want to thank everyone on my flist whose theories are getting me all excited about the upcoming Harry Potter.

I'm sure this will pop up on one of the HP fandom newsletters sooner or later, but till then let me recommend (via mechaieh) the EMPIRE Guide to Preparing for HBP. Very funny whether or not one happens to be into Harry PotterIn altogether unrelated news: Good God Almighty, I have a lot of wedding pictures, and they're all digital.

The Momentarily Girly Post
I realize that everyone is looking forward to the next Harry Potter release (picking mine up after minyan on Saturday but not starting it till after Havdalah because otherwise I'll miss the class I have to teach in between; it's safe to assume I'll have it read by whenever I pop onto LJ on Sunday). That said, I have a different reading list in ( Read more... ) -
Scents and Sensibility
So, this morning I decided that the only possible reaction to world trauma was to drink tea (in solidarity), read a lot of Jeremiah (in retrospect, this was a bad idea), and try out one of the new scents from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. Only... how much of it do y'all normally use for a test? Because I tend to be an extremely cautious applier of ( Read more... ) -

In Which There Is A Nice Hat
So last night, after the Carolina game and the first half of of Iron Chef's Mushroom Battle, D. and I caught the second half of Pirates of the Caribbean on some movie channel or other. Since I have been telling mimesere for over a year now that I would Get Around To Watching PotC, I thought she might appreciate hearing my reactions. (The rest of you can ( Read more... ) -

Happy, er, You Know
(1) I am wearing orange today. Not red, not black (well, black jeans, but that's not exactly a social statement). Just orange. Because it's one of my favorite colors.
(2) And speaking of colors, I'd like to take this special moment to remind everyone that in Rabbinics fandom, rainbow unicorns are canon. (Sure, the tachash skins on the ( Read more... )
