Something different

Well, I'm still feeling less than stellar, since Luke has been mildly sick all week and I keep having to making a judgement about whether he's ready to go to school or not. Yes, I'm better off just keeping him home so I don't have to wonder, but then he'd miss yet another day and the school year is almost over and I want him to get as many days in as possible and...

Sigh. There's just no way I can make any choice that won't make me feel guilty.

But I'm not going to focus on that right now, because it doesn't help me feel any better to dwell on it. Instead, I'm actually going to post something related to fandom (!) Nothing wildly insightful; I'm sure it's all been noted before, but not here, anyway. I've been re-reading HBP, and noting a few things of interest. JKR has said that it had parallels to CoS, and I find it interesting just how many comparisons and contrasts there really are, if you're looking for it. Just the ones I've noted; some are much more significant or interesting than others.

( So here we are... )

And now I'm off to clean the house (or at least sort of tidy it).
