You sat on the edge of your bed, maybe watching the sun rise, knowing that if you were to make a running leap into your parents’ bed at that hour you’d be in trouble. So there you sat, your excitement barely controlled because [...]

How To Make Butterbeer

By LamoreVincera On January 7, 2011 · View Comments

For the Wizarding world-conscious person, you don’t have to go hop down to Diagon Alley anymore for a pint of lovely, frothy butterbeer. Some jerk hero went and used Accio on the recipe.  So here you go, and if you don’t mind, I’m going to run like hell from Madame Rosmerta. She’s scary when she’s [...]

Harry Potter and the Totally Awesome Musical

By LamoreVincera On October 2, 2010 · View Comments

This is why I love the Internet.

Picture this: a low-lit club somewhere in New York. A young man’s onstage, in a white tee and jeans, and his curly hair keeps tumbling into his eyes. He’s got a guitar strung across his chest, and this is the last song of the night, so he asks [...]

I like the format; they don’t feel the need to proclaim the whole title because, for heaven’s sake, most people interested in the movie probably know what the heck the title is. The sexyfaces we’re getting from… well, everybody [...]

A brief vacation, anyway. I’m going to the Bay Area for the weekend! I’ve never been, so I’m really looking forward to seeing San Francisco.

Not that I’ve been posting regularly lately, but there won’t be any posts until at least next Tuesday. I don’t think I’ll have really regular internet access while I’m there, [...]

Literary Woobies

By TDF Pamela On April 4, 2008 · View Comments

After three weeks of studying how fairy tales are used in Holocaust novels, I found myself in serious need of comfort reading.
