Back at home, and my laptop's internet connection's still broken -



I installed Adaware and Spybot, and my system seems clean. It's letting me connect to the internet and when I go into the C prompt it's pinging okay, but it won't let me access any sites or get my email. I took a screenshot, here.

Going to email tech support but I'll probably have to ring them. It's an extortionate premium rate line, though, so I'm trying to avoid that if I possibly can. I hate being a techno-dunce.





I am so in love with Lupin. I'm not into the HP fandom: I've read the books and a couple of pieces of fanfic (literally a couple, I think Draco Dormiens and Draco Malfoy the Amazing Bouncing Ferret are the beginning and end of my HP fanfic experience.) Lupin never made a big impression on me. But... he's so lovely! Kevin said he looked like he's come straight from decoding Nazi spy codes in Bletchley Park. He's so straight-from-the-1940s. Which is about the only time I'm going to use the word straight in conjunction with him because his and Sirius's loveissopureOMG. I must download a million S/R fanfics. Now. Ah, recs? Would love some plot but such is my desperation I'll go for anything.

What else... my crush on Draco continues to rage. I love my snivelling, cowardly little blond boy. Anybody know of any fic where he's at least close to the canon character? I can live with him being redeemed but only if he starts as the bastard I know and love.

Like the new Dumbledore a lot. And ooh, the twins. And there was just so much slash in general (old married couple, heh). The Ron/Hermione was pretty cute, too. I think I'm leaning towards the OT3ness of the Trio, though.


And connorbeast has finally seen Not Fade Away so I don't have to worry about spoiling him for it.

I am a long time Lupin lover. I second the rec for rageprufrock ... and yeah. Check out musesfool's recs post from a few days ago. I just read "Thing" (link is on that list) and it utterly killed me.

And today ponderosa121 posted three amazing drawings.

I am helplessly and hopelessly in love with Remus. I screamed with delight when he showed up in Book 5. I wailed with the rest when Thewlis was hired. I repented with everyone else after seeing him own that role, and dude, YES, I love Kevin too, because Bletchley Park oh MY.

I recced a ficlet today by hackthis ... it's an amazing blend of book and movie draco.

I've been reading a ton of post-war adult Harry/Draco ... are you interested in that? The Dracos are invariably great, but the Harry characterizations always suffer as a result.

:decides she could care less about Harry characterization:
