Quick update

Poor Geoff has bronchitis. He's currently asleep on the couch, though I imagine at some point he'll be woken up by the phone ringing when his work notices he's not there.

Page and I, I think, are fighting off the same thing, but with better success. I'm tired and weaker than usual, and Page has started coughing, but we're still holding on, so that's good. I think we're all going to be taking it very easy this weekend. (Cleaning day will comprise of laundry and a bit of damp dusting. I think even sweeping can wait till we're feeling better (and our lungs are less vulnerable).)

Unfortunately, it's a struggle to focus on anything. Class reading has been a bit of a bitch, seeing as accounting texts aren't known for their fascinating plots or characterizations. There are interesting bits, however, like the tiny segment on how managers manipulate the numbers...

I have been reading your posts, and I'm sorry for the lack of comments. I've typed a few comments here and there that I then didn't post because I realized they came off as snarky or insulting when it wasn't what I meant at all. But thank you for sharing what's going on in your life. And yes, I mean you.

And now I need to go brush my teeth and get ready for class. Hopefully the tea will kick in and I'll wake up at some point. It's so difficult to stay focused (awake) during lectures when tired... Ah well. At least I managed to skim the chapter's text before hand.

Too much tea and Harry Potter equals...

Brain wave! (No idea if it's a new thought or not, but it's new to me.)

What if Mr. Borgin, of Borgin and Burkes, was one of Dumbledore's spies? Talk about perfectly placed! Not to mention that would give Dumbles a very good idea of everything that was going on in HBP...

Just sayin.

(How about using Borgin as a wartime go-between after Dumbles' death?)

Re-watched GoF today. Lord, is it bad! It reminded me quite a lot of "Lair of the White Worm" - you know, that early, early Hugh Grant movie? Only GoF wasn't quite as funny. Lord, Emma Watson did a bad job! But then, she was in good company. Gambon was atrocious (YELLING!Dumbledore! Manhandling!Dumbledore! Pacing!Dumbledore!), Rickman played Snape as a caricature, and Fiennes was... well, unsubtle.

Granted, I should blame all of that on the director's shoulders. Well, director and writer's shoulders. Mike Newell and Steve Cloves, I shake my head at you. Very severely.

Right. Off to read a Superman comic of Geoff's (by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons) and then continue on with HBP. Though all that might get postponed if Page agrees to watch either Harvey or Tin Tin with us after dinner.

Oh yeah. Dinner. Better get started on that.

Ciao!
