the writer’s strike could not have come at a worse time for me. i’m spending more time at home, wanting something to comfort the idle parts of my brain while i figure out this whole mommy thing. instead of watching mediocre shows that i’ve followed off and on for seasons, i’m faced with [...]

the last harry potter book comes out in 22 days. while packing up some books today, i thought it might be very nice/helpful/entertaining/etc to read the first 6 books before i read #7. but then there’s the movie. the movies seem to be more entertaining when you haven’t just read the book [...]

ah well, i guess it’s time to get a library card, huh?

spurious is a real word, no matter how much gina tries to deny it :)

in the comments of this post lie vague references to harry potter and the half-blood prince. minor talking around the plot, but no specific names or anything. much more emotional response-y.

apparently, my muse is also reading harry potter. i haven’t been able to write a thing since finishing the book. i keep looking for pictures inside my head to write down, but it’s a huge blank. i’ve gone through older outlines and half-started story attempts in the hopes that something will get triggered, [...]
