What Made You Smile Today?

[Ian]

Either way I'd never leave the house again.

[fish]

If you had a split personality you could be both.
Then you'd never have to leave the house.

[DMt.]

Yeah...

Hang out at the pool.

Have parties with yourselves.

Get to really know each other.

[Ian]

I'm looking after the dog at the moment and she seems to be fixated on the Perks of Being a Wallflower poster on my wall. She just keeps staring at Emma...

[fish]

And this is the dog staring at the poster, eh?

Yeah, right.



Hope the cyclone isn't too bad for you Ian.
Seems to "only" be a cat 1 from what I've seen, but hey, a cyclone's a cyclone. Take care.

[Ian]

I don't think we'll be getting the brunt of it here. Been raining since lunchtime though and we actually had a brief power cut this morning (and the thing hadn't even started then! ). Hopefully it'll pass us by.

She's now started to alternate her attention between the Perks poster... and The Bling Ring.

[fish]

Try to stay out of mischief then.

...Been raining since lunchtime...

Almost no rainfall for over a month down here.
So dry.

[Ian]

Seems to have been a damp squib, thankfully.

Ha ha! Vindication for Harry/Hermione fans as JK Rowling finally admits they should have been together and that it was a big mistake to shove Hermione with Ron:

JK Rowling has admitted that it was a huge mistake to put Hermione with Ron:

http://www.hypable.c...gret-interview/


Rowling says that she should have put Hermione and Harry together in the Harry Potter series instead of Hermione and Ron, according to the publication’s headline, which reads, “JK admits Hermione should have wed Harry.”
“I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment,” she says. “That’s how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron.”
“I know, I’m sorry,” she continued, “I can hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans, but if I’m absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility. Am I breaking people’s hearts by saying this? I hope not.”
Watson didn’t seem shocked by these comments and agreed with her. “I think there are fans out there who know that too and who wonder whether Ron would have really been able to make her happy.”
Rowling also says that Ron and Hermione would have needed “relationship counseling.”

So, is she going to do a massive re-write, or what?
Lots more sequels in the offing?

[Ian]

lol God knows. I don't think I've encountered a creator/writer quite so keen on trashing their own work or annoying their own fans. She did it to Harry/Hermione fans seven years ago and now she's done it to those (idiots ) that liked the (awful) canon pairings.
I don't think there's a single fan she hasn't managed to piss off at some point.

[Ian]

A suggestion for an 8th Harry Potter book I heard today based off JK's confession:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Divorces.

[fish]

Her problems are nothing compared to mine.

[Ian]

There's a phobia for everything these days.

[fish]

I think I also have Phobophobia.
I'd ask my doctor if I wasn't afraid of him.
