Pottering about

Meme ganked from [livejournal.com profile] dragonfriek. Okay, some of this (bolded) is dead-on, some (italicized) questionable. But lots of these I basically already knew were Libra characteristics anyway. Libra Luuuv Profile )

Dresden Dolls at the Paradise tonight, 9pm. Although if I were smart, I would stay home, do some memorizing (of lines and lines), and get some rest. But when have I ever been smart that way? I don't especially have the money either, but, y'know.

The editorial staff of the excellent Harry Potter Lexicon are on LJ as [livejournal.com profile] hp_lexicon and [livejournal.com profile] hp_lexicon_jr. Hee. They seem to have posted for a while about Lexicon site updates, but given up of late. Still.
Also on LJ is [livejournal.com profile] harrypotters, for fans of Harry and the Potters, sort of a "tribute band" -- who, as it happens, are Boston-based and will be playing at the Middle East on August 3. Silliness abounds. I wasn't really impressed with the band's sound, but the concept is cute.

In other meta-Potter topics, I got this book the other day. People who wanna borrow it after I'm done are welcome to. Its style is a bit annoying, but on the whole it's interesting and at least insightful. It does seem to present fairly well-researched close reading. And she's actually pointed out a couple of things I managed to miss so far. I picked up the book because I'd already been formulating some thoughts on what *I* think are the meaningful mystery elements; I plan to natter on about those myself at some point. Maybe in August.

Off now to deliver buttons to [livejournal.com profile] scholargipsy. :-)
Shabbat shalom, y'all.

Well, crap!

The good news: the Dolls sold out the Paradise (capacity 588).

The bad news: I was on the wrong side of the door. Crap!

If that possibility had even occurred to me, I wouldn't have spent so much time dicking around at home before heading out. You know, eating dinner and stuff.

On the other hand, I'm home a good hour and a half earlier (and $13 richer) than expected, and really I can't feel all that sorry that they had a sold-out show.
