Seriously, @The Honor Spren! It's amazing! I, too, would definitely find a place on my wall for it!

You're right. Should've asked that.

That was amazing. The reading, everything. Anyways, I do in fact have some WoB's to report! First, and I think we already knew this, but I wanted to confirm, as it's of great interest to me: we will be seeing the actual Ghostbloods symbol at some point. He said that they actually had a draft at one point, but that it wasn't true enough to the book, so they're working on it some more. Also, he said there're a few really good interpretations around the internet, so there's that. Second, I asked: if a person with an eidetic memory were to store in a coppermind, would their memories degrade upon tapping? He said, paraphrased: True perfect memories are disputed by science, but if one did exist (or a magical one as we have seen already) then no, their memories would not degrade, as it's the brain's own failings that cause degradation, not magic. Also, his favorite flavor of gelato is lemon.

I don't hate them per se, especially if they were founded before the US (but so were the colonies, and you don't see them lording it about), but I've noticed there's quite the problem with wizard supremacy in this world. Also, I'd say that, even if MACUSA doesn't follow the Constitution, all of the wizards living in America should, as they're normal citizens and as far as actual Congress is concerned.

Oh, it's real, all right. That was at his wedding.

There were things I loved about this movie. Namely, Newt himself, and all of his beasts (specifically the niffler and the bowtruckle and also Frank!). The other characters were great, Wizarding America was also fun to see (mostly), and I really just loved finally being back in the Potterverse. Also, the score was great. And there were things I hated. Namely, MACUSA. I love the concept. But where the storms was due process? You can't just arrest someone and sentence them to death five minutes later! Y'all might be a bunch of magical folk, but you're still in the United States and you still have to work under the Constitution! I will admit I liked how they cleaned up the city afterwards, though. That made me happy. Also, Madam President was not a person I particularly liked. Basically, this: Maybe I'll talk about it more in-depth later, but for now I gotta go.

This is the shirt I'm wearing right now.

I've started watching Star Treks Deep Space 9 and Voyager. So far, I don't regret anything.

There are times when I think I love bands, and then... Cool! It's Dawes, right? I've not heard them before. I guess I'll have to add them to the ever-growing list of bands to look up.

Sounds fun! You gonna be able to make it? I remember being that excited when mine came to Salt Lake City.

No download link this time? Intentional, or oops?

I just saw a Walmart ad... ...for Thanksgiving. FINALLY, a corporation acknowledges that November exists!

That episode broke my heart. I do love how they work Clara's theme throughout the show, though. It works especially well in that scene.

I seem to remember seeing one meme on Facebook or Pinterest or somesuch that said something like "DC: 'dark and gritty is realistic!' vs. Marvel: 'Vin Diesel is a tree and Bradley Cooper is a talking raccoon.'"

I'm just... I'm just so sad that the Potterverse has gone so downhill. Despite numerous plotholes and unfortunate implications, the original series was one of my favorite things ever. But I've had to resign myself to ignoring canon, which is something I hate to do, so... yeah.

LG G3 Vigor, or so it said on the box. It's a decent phone; the design is nice and the software works well enough. It's a bit buggy at times, though, and the fact that just over half the 8GB of storage is taken up by system software is supremely annoying. I would be interested in the iPhone 7 -- I've been an Apple geek forever -- but the lack of headphone jack is really a turn-off for me (same goes for the lack of proper USB ports on the new Mac line). So maybe, if I ever get a new phone, I'll look into Google, or maybe just an earlier-model iPhone.

Brilliant! I still do want to see it, even if everything Rowling is doing nowadays makes me roll my eyes. I would upvote for sheer accuracy, but I hit quota. How do you hit quota this early in the morning seriously

Something that needs to be kept in mind, I think:

Yes. Reading all of the political discourse going on here is seriously stressing me out. Which isn't how it should be, especially here.
