I never seem to post anything but random lists these days...

• road_ahead is currently doing their first Summer League Quidditch game. I have no idea how they're going to actually make a Quidditch game work online, but it should be interesting, especially considering the teams they made. Basically, they decided to take everyone who showed up and stick them into two teams, which means each team got three Beaters and four Chasers, with the line-ups as follows:
  
  

  Position	Team A	Team B
  Keeper	Meghan McCormack (Captain)	Oliver Wood
  Chasers	Alicia Spinnet, Ginny Weasley, Susan Bones, Marcus Flint	Draco Malfoy, Cho Chang, Dean Thomas, Millicent Bulstrode
  Beaters	Katie Bell, Greg Goyle, Bill Weasley	Ron Weasley, George Weasley, Angelina Johnson (Captain)
  Seeker	Charlie Weasley	Harry Potter

  
  
  Then Harry and Ron had to bail at the last minute for a very good reason, so the line-up is now:
  
  

  Position	Team A	Team B
  Keeper	Meghan McCormack (Captain)	Oliver Wood
  Chasers	Ginny Weasley, Susan Bones, Marcus Flint, Bill Weasley	Draco Malfoy, Dean Thomas, Millicent Bulstrode, Alicia Spinnet
  Beaters	Katie Bell, Greg Goyle	George Weasley, Angelina Johnson (Captain)
  Seeker	Charlie Weasley	Cho Chang

  
  
  Should be neat. Hey, they made an impromptu drunken drop-in party at George's flat work (and gather 1069 comments), so a Quidditch game should be no sweat :)
  
  
• I finally own a copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD!! YAAAY!!
  
  Yeah, I know, what kind of fan am I to not own it yet. Not our fault, seriously. It was supposed to get here before Christmas. But after long and patient weeks of anticipation that gradually turned into angst, we finally cancelled the order from Amazon and just bought it from our local Future Shop. Which we could've done starting December 11. ::sigh::

• Chapter 8 of Ember to Ember is almost ready for betaing!
  
  
• OK, I know there were a whole lot of amazing hd_holidays fics out there, and I do hope to read & rec a whole lot of them, but this is the one I chortled over most recently:
  
  The Simple Joy of Living, by mahaliem
  
  If I were to share all the parts that made me chuckle, I'd have to quote most of the story, but here's a few:
  
  "Hey, Draco," Harry interrupted. "Wanna see a big snake?"
  Draco stopped to stare at Harry. "If that's your idea of a pick-up line, then I'm not surprised you're still a virgin."
  "It's not reeeally a snake."
  "I figured that out."
  
  Harry knew that he should've argued harder against partnering with Malfoy. But he hadn't been able to help it. Ron had pleaded with him.
  "I'm pleading with you," Ron said.
  As Ron spoke with Harry, he was also sipping a cup of coffee and flipping through some papers on his desk.
  "That doesn't look much like pleading," Harry said.
  
  "I do not know that word," Krum said. "Vot is a cuddlycuns?"
  
  "I had a terrific Christmas," Draco said. "I especially enjoyed my Christmas present from Harry. He got Kinky for me for Christmas."
  Ron coughed. "Too much information."
  
  And also? Clueless!Harry makes me so happy :) :) :)
  
  
• My computer is still MIA. It's been gone since... well, since at least a few days before November 9. But Dell has now called Head Office over the issue, and claim to be Very Concerned, so I'm optimistic that Real Action will happen soon.
  
  In other words, I'm probably going to buy an Apple.

Chapter 8 of Ember to Ember is almost ready for betaing!

And I'm almost ready to beta! LOL Trying to get my fic formatted to post tonight...

And totally, buy a Macbook! I love mine! (And aside from that one thing I told you about, their customer service has been exemplary over the years.)

Yay!

Yeah, I keep hearing that from Mac users. But then again, I'd heard - and experienced - good things from Dell too, so...

Best line, ever.

Thanks :D

[elephantqueen25.livejournal.com]

Congrats on finally getting the DVD. :D

Bloody Amazon though ¬¬

I'm guessing you won't be buying from there again anytime soon....

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no, they gave us a $5 discount off our next purchase and my partner had to seriously bite his tongue to not come back with some nasty suggestions as to exactly where they could stick their discount ;)

At this point I've almost forgotten what it's like to have my own computer, I've been using my partner's and my kids' computer so much. ::sigh::

i'm looking forward to the new chapter :D
Me too! Now if I can just get my somewhat spaced-out muse to work with me for just an hour or so...

Much squeeing here over possibilities of Chapter 8!

Also much agreed squeeing over The Simple Joy of Living!

Many condolences over your computer! Get a Mac! I'm a confirmed Mac user, and even my onsite tech person (O Man o' Mine) has bought a Mac. Amuses me to no end that at his hi tech job most of the people now own a Mac. LOL!

Heh, I keep hearing this... which is why I'm probably going to get a Mac :)

87?!!! I don't understand. I really don't understand how that's possible. I did it about 3 times and got 56 as my best score... (with 4 errors.) And I thought I was fairly fast...

I am in awe.

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

Well, I think that's my highest score. I did it two more times and I thought I'd done better, but ended up with 81 and 83. Still, it's a bit of a shock; last time I did one of these, a few years ago, I was in the upper sixties. Not sure why the improvement.
