featherxquilli. I am off work sick. I have a chest infection. I have antibiotics and cough medicine and nicotine patches. Again. Maybe I can quit permanently this time. Of course, the cloves I ordered from Ebay arrived today. *sigh*. Maybe I'll just send them on to people I know who'll like em.
ii. Jim Broadbent has been cast as Slughorn! Omfg! sjdgjdhhdghdgdfd YAYE!! :D He'll be so, so, so perfect.
iii. I have been meaning to pimp this for a while, but haven't got around to it. At![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
wizardwatch, Rita and Neville have a 'treasure hunt' during games week, in the garden. As a dare, Rita tells Neville to eat a piece of fruit fallen from a tree she does not recognise, which is actually 'passion fruit', a potent aphrodisiac. He fixates on her, and she's far too hedonist to think about what will happen later. I am so insanely proud of how this thread turned out - completely unplanned - and am in awe of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
regasssa's fabulous Neville, and her writing in this thread. I believe the line that kills me the most is a lion made of sunbeams. Beautiful. Things have been amazingly strange and awkward between our charries ever since, which is a very fun dynamic to play.
iv. In SHH news and pimps, Kingsley and Rita have a moment on the dance floor at a function. Guh. Ollivander has certainly mellowed my girl considerably, and Kingsley is more mellow lately too, but it's still ahdghsghshsghs. If my girl ever has to make an IC choice between her two 'interests', it's going to kill me. Seriously.
v. Thanks to all who commented recently on my print media post. I didn't quite know what to say to all the hugs and love, but I really appreciate your words, and thank you so much for the support ♥
vi. I got an email today - a generic one obviously sent to anyone with the right GPA, but still - about doing an Honours year, and I'm really, really tempted. The thing about screenwriting seems to be that it's not what you know but who, and really, where better to 'know' the right people that at uni, where several of my lecturers/tutors are film makers themselves? I'm also not sure I want to leave the uni experience behind just yet. Part of me just wants to be out making money and thinks I could do postgrad later, but another part of me doesn't think I ever *will*, and if I want to the best time to go for it would be now. Despite the lack of time I have this semester with so much work, I'm actually really enjoying my time on campus and everything I'm learning. I feel more productive than I have for a while. Perhaps that's because it's my last semester.
vii. Ordered Provoked and The Night And The Moment from amazon today. Yaye Miranda! Nothing like retail therapy to make one feel better. Also watched Snow White again, which is really not a very good movie, but better than the Disney one, and Miranda's insanely hot Elspeth makes it worth it.
viii. FINALLY found something about vista that I like. It's called 'snipping tool' and it's a built in utility that takes screencaps - of both normal screens and DVDs! Huzzah! Finally something that's not slightly cool yet completely useless and actually functionally awesome about this platform. Anyone with Vista who wants to find it, just click start and type snipping tool into the search. Ahh, thank god. I was so worried that I'd have no way of capping my DVDs. The horror!
This post brought to you by Angie finally having time to do nothing (extension on screenwriting til Monday yaye thank god), and the nice mixture of drugs I am on.

iv. I say go for it, go for the extra year. You're right about the networking opportunities you'll have and no, I don't think many people leave academia and then a while later go back for their postgrad.
v. Oooooooh, am I right in thinking that 'The Night and The Moment' has both Miranda and Lena Olin in? Because if it does, mmmmmmmmmmm hot ladies. ;)
