Jury Duty is over.

I just turned down 3 days of non-union background work with no chance of an upgrade because I just wasn't in the mood. I feel guilty, but I know this is part of the new strategy.

Dear Pax Foods,
I am wearing a cute sexy blouse and pig tails. Do not call me sir. it makes you look stupid.

Dear 7-11,
Thank you for being in NYC and giving me a weird opportunity to be nostalgic about Australia of all things. But all your crappy American candy made me sad.



Why was Snape's old potions book floating around that classroom for Harry to wind up with? I certainly kept all my textbooks throughout my education (in fact, I hated my two years at public school because books had to be returned at the end of the course), only weeding them out recently, and I'm less of an intellectual freak than the dude -- and I didn't write copious notes on original work in my books either -- so what gives? Why just abandon it? Was it all in his head and he just wrote the shit down for Lily? We know the book was published 50 years before Harry gets his hands on it... was it an old onelying around the classroom when Snape was a student -- that is, was it a loaner given to him because of his meagre means?

I don't know why I care, but, help?

I wondered about that too. I would think that it probably was a loaner given to him because he was poor, and possibly taken away from him, rather than left behind, at the end of the course. The annotations, I have a feeling, were his dialog with the author -- a somewhat nerdy, one-sided game of one-upmanship that gave him something to do in class.

It certainly adds a layer to the scene in the bathroom with Draco; the expression on Snape's face as much irritation as the penny dropping that Harry has somehow gotten hold of *his* book.
