This week felt like the first bout of truly summery weather. Tonight there are big thunder rumblers wandering around. I love curling up in bed during a thunderstorm!
so, first a Friday recc:
Gladly Beyond Any Experience, by . written for Team Romance in the 2006 Snarry Games. I thought I'd read all of femme's Snarry, so I was thrilled to find this satifying tale. Harry as a public defender with a wonderfully clever Sytherin daughter, and Snape the fugitive captured in Canada and destined for Azkaban, find themselves in a world of memories. Bonus Snaco!
2. Michael Jackson, I had no idea you had affected me so much. A few songs that were unforgettable, an original style that repeatedly challenged the status quo, and a vivid illustration of the tragedy of success... I could go on. suffice it to say I Never Cared to Say Goodbye.
3. I love my therapist. We did this amazing session on ... what? feelings about failure, money, and a movie that had haunted me for days and days. Into the Wild... a film I'd meant to see in the cinema. I came home from seeing UP, such a happy movie, and found this on the telly, and although I knew how it ended, I could not look away. I could have been that kid. I wanted to be that brave and resourceful and independant. I am that good at running away. That movie, the denouement, got into my guts and haunted me, roiled up all this fear and grief... It was really good to find the threads among all those things.
4. I give thanks for Friday Nights and stupid TV. For instance, Black Sheep. This is a preposterous tale of mutant carnivorous sheep, a revolting gorefest with new-agey jokes and intermittent beautiful New Zealand landscape. And exploding farts! I could not have made this stuff up.
Finally, It's time to read The Half Blood Prince. SFor years, summer has meant Harry Potter in the hammock, and tomorrow one of my keen ambitions is to do just that!
