Everything's been going... just swimmingly this month. For some reason, it all feels a bit like when those musical so-and-so's were wandering all about here. Or perhaps I'm the only one who fancies bursting into song. There were all such a pleasant sort. Shame they went... they were good for a bit of entertainment now and again ( Read more... )

[ Remus is heard very primly in the background, speaking in a lilting tone to follow the prose: ]

'The time has come,' the walrus said. 'To talk of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether fish ha--'

Well of course fish don't have wings. ( Read more... )

Well, as exciting as this has all been, I can't say I particularly enjoy the addition of so much extra animal hair to my clothing. I pine for a lint roller. ...I never really thought I'd say that ( Read more... )

That was a lovely holiday. Really, I always loved Yuletime, not just for the presents. Having everyone together and enjoying themselves... it's a wonderful thing. We shouldn't need the holidays as an excuse to do so ( Read more... )

Lily and I have never hurt anyone on this island. We arrived quietly, we've lived quietly, we helped clean up after the tsunami, and we opened our sweets shop to share the joys of our world with everyone here ( Read more... )

I realize that it probably looks terribly bad for us at the moment, but I can assure everyone that Lily and I are most definitely not responsible for these candies.

So please, please stop egging the shop window and destroying our jack-o-lanterns.

I do not find this amusing.

Not in the least.

It's not really that worrying, is it? Considering it logically, many islands are positioned on the edges of tectonic plates. Granted, most island like that have volcanoes, but... well, we've never been much further than the jungle, so there may be a volcano for all we know ( Read more... )
