Moonshot is updated with a bunch of new recs.

14 new Harry Potter recs

34 new recs on the Misc fandom page including 1 CSI, 1 LotR, and 32 Stargate: Atlantis recs.

My mother just finished HBP. She was sitting next to me on the flight home from London and called to ask about the notes I was taking as I read. It was cute. She and I have most of the same theories about Snape, Dumbledore, and Draco. My cousin, on the other hand, just recently tore through all six books and called me to day to talk through the series. (After the immediate gratification of six books in a row, he's having trouble accepting that it will be a long while before he can read book seven.) He's convinced Snape is evil and JKR is going to use that to demonstrate that Dumbledore was fallible. I don't believe that Dumbledore was infallible but I do wholeheartedly believe that Snape will be redeemed. The debate morphed into a friendly wager which will be a nice windfall for me when book 7 is published.

Today was a perfectly lazy day. Tomorrow is brunch with the boy. We're going to Captiva Island to a brunch spot on the Gulf. I'm such a sucker for Sunday brunch and I'm really looking forward to the sun and the company.

I came back from lunch and found a copy of Movie Maker: The Year of Harry Potter in my office. It's full of all sorts of goodies including a sinful looking teenage wizard. I can't wait for this movie.

Tonight was date #3 with the guy. It just works. Neither of us is in a rush but we're having a good time getting to know each other. Slowly.

I have a nice long reading list to dig into tonight. But after CSI. Gil Grissom is hot with a beard.

I managed to follow those S2 component tutorials and my journal is now both Potterfied and very, very green. [livejournal.com profile] saturn92103. See? It's been a long time - years - since I changed my layout and I still need to figure out exactly how to add additional components with graphics/photos but I love it!

I also updated my Harry Potter Recs Page with 16 new fic/art recs:

2 Harry/Snape
1 Lupin/Snape
5 Weasley (1 Ron/Charlie, Bill/Charlie implied; 3 Ron/Harry; 1 Ron/Harry/Ginny)
4 Misc (2 Snape/Draco; 1 Snape/Albus; 1 Fenrir/Draco)
4 Art recs (3 Harry/Snape; 1 Lucius, Harry, Neville, Remus)

All HBP spoilers are noted with the exception of stories featuring characters introduced in HBP as those, quite obviously, have spoilers.

Tomorrow is my kayaking date and I'm leaving to meet the guy at 7:30am. I'm so bad at dating guys that actually have potential. I project a multitude of scenarios where I have no privacy, no space and I'm suffocating, suffocating, suffocating. I do like this guy, though. He's attentive, funny, easy to talk to, and I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow. The alligators on the river are probably a greater risk to my well being than he is.

Oh! And I'd be remiss if I didn't note that Dan Radcliffe turns 16 today. Sixteen. I should probably leave it at that and go on my merry way.

It's ant watch, day 5, and the ants got a reprieve because the exterminator never showed up. But what the ants don't realize is that they have persistence, instinct, and numbers but I have ingenuity. And that wins. The issue is that the ants swarm Sally's food and I'm really not interested in trying to change her eating schedule because of some damn bugs. So I rigged a makeshift moat that keeps the ants away from her kitten chow. Ants - 2, Saturn - 1. I'm evening the score. And, once What Bug shows up, the game is mine.

There are a number of things I don't like about Florida and this is one of them. It makes my head hurt.

Among the things I do like, however, is my date from Tuesday. It's too soon to know anything other than I want to see him again but he left me a sweet voice mail before he went off to Greece and we have plans to get together again when we're both back from Europe. So that's something. And I like this part. The part where you're getting to know each other and are mutually interested and the butterflies start. Though I also like the part where you look at someone in the morning and know them. But first things first. :)

I come with a fic rec: Benediction by Reddwarfer. Harry/Snape. NC-17. Felching warning for anyone squicked by that. But the story is good. It's short and smutty and a Harry/Snape dynamic that I love.

Also. I need a Nick/Gil icon.

* This is what I'm doing for the release of HBP! "Ottakar's in Greenwich are pleased to invite you on board the infamous Clipper, the Cutty Sark in Greenwich on Friday 15th July, from 9.30pm to celebrate the publication of the Sixth Harry Potter book, 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'. Come along for fun and games and all things Potter! The launch party comes to an end at midnight when the Bookstore will open and customers will be able to get their hands on the latest Harry Potter!!" Holy crap. I can't wait.

* Art Rec: Don't Go by [livejournal.com profile] undunoops. Harry/Snape. Not work safe. Gorgeous.

* [livejournal.com profile] kittenfishlambs...someone's written Alan Rickman/Mos Def fic. To think we didn't get there first. ;)

* [livejournal.com profile] between_names...I received my alumnae directory in the mail today and, sure enough, there you were! (I also spent the day with AG yesterday. She was in town speaking at the AEPhi convention so we met up at the beach. She's food for my soul.)

* Back to work after 12 days away was intense. But also comforting in a twisted sort of way.

* I have a lunch date tomorrow. It's a fix up from work but the whole thing's been sort of on the sly because the person who knows the guy is one of my employee's employees and she's nervous about inserting herself in my personal life. Points for that and the set up. We have to do lunch tomorrow because I've been away and he's going to Greece on Wednesday morning but we wanted to fit something in before he goes away and then I go back to London. I'll stop rambling now.

* "Bartlet For America" was on from 7- 8pm and "The Supremes" is on from 9- 10pm. I'm only sorry I missed "The Women of Qumar" at 6pm. I love CJ in that episode.

* My cat is the cutest thing that ever lived. I love her so.
