Commenting as I go along, because I have limited online time tonight... I've been just a shade concerned that Ron is developing some jealousy of Harry (his fame, yes, but also his money - that he has it, not that he flaunts it), and that this might be instumental in Ron making some bad decisions that lead to (spooky music) the dark side. For a while. I'm confident if this happens, he'll revert. It's been quite a while since I read GoF, but it seems to me that that jealousy was beginning, and even, perhaps, some rather more sinister foreshadowing of such events. Can't remember specifics, but the feeling was strong at the time. Mary Mary Yes, I think there was some foreshadowing that Ron will be at least tempted by the Dark Side due to his feelings of insecurity. I can see him making a Faustian bargain because he thinks it would help his family. But I also think his feelings for Hermione are intensifying and he might redeem himself for her sake (if she were the victim of an anti-Muggle witch hunt, for example, if that's not mixing too many metaphors). And I can't chat for too much longer tonight either but I think we're getting the board started in style. Incidentally, I really like your Oscar Wilde quotation. I've always been partial to his death bed statement: "Either that wallpaper goes or I do."

Hi Patti. Where does your side quote (the one about nudity) come from? I've been wondering the same thing.

Becky, are you a Harry Potter fan. I am too! I'm getting the the fifth one when it comes out, but can't read it until after the semester ends (it is too long for me to just try to squeeze it in). I have been looking forward to it coming out so much. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and BtVS are my three favourite types of stories and I have only recently realised what they all have in common (apart from the fantasy aspect, of course): they are all about one person who is chosen to fight evil with the help of their friends (some powerful, some not). Friendship, loyalty and responsibility are always great themes and I can then work out why I love Jane Austen's Emma (the wild-card of the mix of my favourite stories). PS On one of the Harry Potter web-sites that I visited a long time ago, there was speculation that Snape might be a vampire. What do you reckon? Snape a vampire? I think some explanation might be required regarding how he could be seen in the foe-glass and how come he is outside during the day and why he is protecting Harry, but other than that . . . (or alright the hypothesis is just lame!) Kerrie, and Becky, I'm a Harry Potter fan also. I have the next book pre-ordered. Kerrie, we have exactly the same book tastes I think. I'm a huge Jane Austin, LOTR, and of course BtVS. Snape is my favorite Harry Potter character...it could have to do with the fact that I adore Alan Rickman. Which ties in with another favorite of mine, Galaxy Quest...but that's a story for another post...

Hi Patti. Where does your side quote (the one about nudity) come from? It's from 'Intervention' - its what the Buffybot told 'Guyles' and the others about Spike as they were outside Glory's apt. building.

Hi Patti. Where does your side quote (the one about nudity) come from? I think it's from the Angel ep where Harmonie comes to LA and looks up Cordelia, who doesn't know she's a vamp. She keeps thinking Harmonie is trying to tell her she's a lesbian.

I only got one slice because Vlad poured AB negative all over it before I could get another one. Then Dave got into my Crown Royal. Had to go order some Chinese and hit the liquor store. Vlad, I looked away to type this message for one minute and you still over here trying to mess me up. That Damn well better be Sweet & Sour sauce on my chicken!! *Licks the spicy wing sauce off his fingers* Ummm, yeah... sweet & sour, that's right Rob. No back slidin' here *coughs* Hey, that looks like a bloomin' onion.... got any of that hollandaise mustard stuff for it? *goes wandering after someone carrying a food tray...*

Before I have to log off for the evening (I have a critique to write), I just had to say Galaxy Quest, yes! Also, Truly, Madly, Deeply and Blow Dry. And he was the best part of Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. What is it about those men with British accents?

For some reason I couldn't quote this, it kept giving me Rob's previous post, but I wanted to thank you Laura, for posting that wonderful article about DVDs, Spike, and Fool for Love. Delicious addition to the party!

It's off to work I go (I also admit to planning on checking in on the Tony Awards - I wonder sometimes if I'm the only person who caught the "Corner of the Sky" reference when Lilah sliced off Linwood/John Rubenstein's head). Play nice and save me a piece of pizza for tomorrow - isn't reheating pizza what microwaves were invented for in the first place?
