Mei You
I’m back in Brooklyn, but I left both my DVD of Harry Potter 1 and my Circle of Friends paperback with Harold in Chapel Hill. At the time, I thought it was symbolic of my commitment to the relationship, in … Continue reading
Jane Austen Fangirl
I’d reserved Heather Lynn Rigaud’s Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star from the library a while ago, because of course someone else was reading it and someone else was second on the waitlist. New York is awesome! This rockstar retelling of the … Continue reading
Shopping At Hogsmeade
Harold was in Orlando for work, and I went down to join him for a couple days. My trip was thrown together in my typical impulsive way, which is not usually how staid, organized Harold likes to do things. So … Continue reading

Yesterday the folks at King’s Isle gave me permission to post screenshots from Wizard 101. I didn’t post yesterday, because when I logged on to get some nice screens, somehow I ended up fighting trolls instead of taking pictures. Anyway! … Continue reading
