(no subject)

Donating blood last night with earthrise, I realized I never shared this bizarre dream I had. I think it was either the night after or night before I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. No spoilers, though.

Basically, my dream? JK Rowling was running away from someone. It turned out to be Ann Coulter. I woke up, still horrified by the dream, then I thought about it and laughed for about ten minutes straight. Because that is so appropriately funny in many, many ways.

OMGOMGOMGOGMOGMG!!!!1!!!111!!!!

THANK YOU droidguy1119!!!!

Remember the "I want cold tea!" stupidity? This is dumber

I realize I hadn't shared this late-breaking thought I had after finishing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Again, NO SPOILERS.

So, like, everyone except me must have known Lupin was a werewolf the second he was introduced in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, right? Okay, so that's my dumbness on one level. Then we got introduced to Fenrir Grayback, who, duh, we're told up front is a werewolf. And I swear, I go, "Wow, that's weird that he ended up a werewolf with a name like that. Kinda like Lupin being a werewolf. Weird!" That's stupidity on another level.

Then there's this brilliance I just unleashed upon earthrise: "Wait, do you suppose wizarding law states that people who become werewolves have to change their name to, basically, I. R. Werewolf, Esq?"

That's intelligence, folks. And stupidity on a scale not previously imagined. I are smart.

And before I forget

A little bit of feminism for your day, and let this be a lesson for the future:

When someone breaks into another person's apartment, anything they do in there is a crime. It is not a joke, it is not funny, and it's not some misunderstanding or merely "inappropriate" behavior. If they touch any one living in that home, it could be perceived as assault, and, under some circumstances, excuse for the invaded to react with deadly force.

So, when a man breaks into an apartment through the fire escape's access to a window and gets into bed with the female occupant and starts touching her that is not "inappropriate touching." That is molesation. She has been molested. Fortunately, that was the worst that happened, but that is still sexual assault, given the nature of the attack, the target, and the place where it occurred (you can't tell me a criminal got into bed with a potential victim with no intention of launching any kind of sexual assault).

Please, kindly refer to such incidents correctly in the future. Columbia, I'm looking at you. I don't care how much you stress that this wasn't in one of you buildings. Morons.
