hogwarts gone wild

- There is a Secret Santa Meme in progress.

- I have recs. They are not coded, or anything, but I have them. You will have them tomorrow.

- I also owe you two days of Christmas crack. I will get on that, as soon as tinypic stops being frigid.

What I learned over the course of my day (so far)
by xylodemon, age 30
Courtesy of my AOL inbox:

1. I have won the Nigerian lottery. Again.
   
2. Should I suddenly decide my penis is woefully inadequate, I have options. And options. And more options. And also options.

Speaking of Patrick Wolf -- does anyone have 'Wolf Song' handy? Or 'London'? Those are the only tracks I don't have from Lycanthropy, and it's driving me a bit mad.



¹ It's not that I didn't know this. I got the memo when everyone else did. I'm just amused that CNN thinks it's newsworthy. I'm just amused that CNN thinks it's newsworthy almost a week after the fact.

I am a very heavy sleeper.

I don't mean heavy sleeper as in I don't always acknowledge the phone, or I hit Snooze once or twice before hauling myself out of bed. I mean heavy sleeper as I could blithely slumber through an exchange of nuclear weapons.

As in I literally slept through the majority of a Megadeth concert. When I was still in marching band, it was not uncommon for me to doze in the back of my pickup while a drumline warmed up ten feet away.

I have my clock/radio/alarm set to the only thing that will penetrate my coma-- the local Mexican talk radio station. For whatever reason, something about a man gibbering on in rapid-fire Spanish will have me out of bed in no time.

This morning, El Guapo was talking about the moon. I did not catch exactly what he was on about, but I heard the word luna repeatedly.

I would not have found this odd, had I not spent the majority of the night dreaming about Professor Lupin.

And, I don't know if it was the dream, the morning wake up call, or both, but for the rest of the day, the repeater tower for all that is weird and strange, otherwise known as my brain, was stuck on the All Remus, All The Time channel, for the remainder of the day.

He was everywhere, today. Lurking in the corner of my mind, hovering just in my periphery vision. I would not have minded, had be been *quiet*.

But he was not.

He kept intruding on my thoughts, filling up my brain with plotbunnies and dialogue snippets and angsty internal monologues delivered in the general direction of Azkaban or at James and Lily's grave.

*sigh*
