(no subject)

My alarm went off this morning and I fell back to sleep (this is a general, planned routine for me, except on set days) and I had a terrible dream. No murder or mayhem, just ugliness with someone close to me. Tim Gunn sort of came to the rescue though in a really ugly and avant-garde car with autopilot (this on some sort of a school trip where we got left behind). Even so, at the end of it we were both assuring each other everything was fine, but it didn't feel it upon waking. Not real not real not real. I know exactly why I had the dream, but I'd rather not remember such unconcious dwelling on my fear. YUCK. I probably need to speak to nothing and no one for a few hours and yet here I am.

I finally ordered that suit I wanted from eShakti. Yay.

And I'm getting really sick of spam txt's on my cellphone about pink sheet stocks. I want to know who I complain to or how I get off the list.

Also, trying not to gratuitously start Another HP Fandom Flamewar About Race, but I really can't believe someone just said what they said.

I finally finished it. This will be my next tattoo:

Author’s Notes:

If you don’t know what this is, please read this.

Despite a recent tune-up, this was written in 2001 and is not compliant with the current state of the HP universe.

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

You can find all chapters here.

If you’re looking for slash, het, poly, Book-6 compliant Slytherin backstory please visit the recently updated 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.
Disclaimer: It’s JKR’s world, I just mess about with it.

For decades, Cairo's Northern Cemetery -- a walled Mamluk-era necropolis better known as the City of the Dead -- has been home to tens of thousands of people who have made their homes inside the often extensive tombs that sometimes hold centuries-old bodies. They are some of the many urban poor who inhabit the Egyptian capital, forced to live among the dead by the overcrowding and unemployment that plague this city of 16 million.

...

Parts of the cemetery seem remarkably alive, as children in public-school uniforms head to and from schools located just outside the graveyard. They skip along the dirt paths between the burial chambers, ducking under the power lines and the drying laundry strung between the tombs.

...

Most who live here were born in the cemetery, got married here and have raised their families the same way they lived -- as if it were any other neighbourhood in Cairo.

"I don't like to go outside. I like it better here. Here is where I was born, where I work, where I live," says Abdel Aziz Faragh, a 47-year-old gravedigger who also runs the local convenience store out of the cemetery guardhouse.
