Enchanted is over.

The Germans seem to have paid me something, judging by a late night visit to Chase. Things are tight, but I should be able to meet the current round of monthly bills without a hassle.

I have no idea what's going on out in the world because of the movie set vortex.

At one point, we were all sitting in the lobby of Steiner waiting to be called to set watching Inerview with a Vampire on the TV -- it was the scene where Louis and Armand almost kiss and don't. That plot in the books always made me sad, and it's one of the few moments in that god awful movie that work even if Armand is miscast and a half. Anyway, it was strange, sitting there on the floor in the dark at around midnight in a movie studio lobby in dead silence with a lot of other bored, tired, pissed-off extras in exrtavagent costumes thinking that in same ways I've done it all because of these particular imaginary people. No one was hushed during anything else we watched, so I thought, a lot of them were probably thinking the same thing too. Since one of the big topics amongst background on sets is the actual banality of their lives, it made me sad. I mean, don't get me wrong, my life can be banal too, but I think I do a pretty good job of raging against it effectively.

If I owe you email, I'll catch up after I've slept.

Project Runway Season 3 begins
(speaking of, I want to do an article on sewing terms that will help people understand the show better -- any suggestions, either from the experienced sewer or the people watching who are all "what the fuck is that?")

Basically the repurposed bitterness about Oliver Stone's Alexander. You've heard it all before. Repeatedly.

This weeks AC newsletter shows that Pugs Not Dog, Goblin! is the third most popular article on the AC website, meaning I'm a step closer to a $25 bonus for that ridiculous thing. How hillarious.

I also realized today that AC may be the most popular abbreviation on my friendslist, although it means Aleister Crowley and Air Conditioning a great deal of the time.

Author’s Notes:

If you don’t know what this is, please read this: http://rm.livejournal.com/727358.html

This story was originally written in late-2001; despite a recent tune-up, it is in no way compliant with the current state of the HP universe.

Your feedback and commentary are always welcome, even for a time capsule such as this.

Each chapter of this story has now been tagged. You can find the whole thing here.

If you’re looking for slash, het, poly, Book-6 compliant Slytherin backstory please visit Fascilis Descensus Averno a WIP written with kalichan. It features Severus Snape, Lucius & Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix & Rodolphus Lestrange and Regulus Black and mostly takes place in 1979 – 1981 but has forays both significantly forward and back in time. It is also a multimedia project.
