Dental work mostly done
::Whew...::
Two of the pinhole cavaties in my back teeth are now thankfully filled; what's more, they were so shallow, I didn't even need anesthesia when the dentist drilled them out. She actually asked me if I wanted the jab or not, but since I'm terrified of needles, I declined, just to see if they really were that shallow. ...I didn't feel a dang thing, except maybe the vibration of the, er, implement being used, which was an odd feeling, but not painful at all. And since they used a white composite material to fill the pinholes, you can't even see where they did the work: they're virtually invisible. I'm supposed to have the third and hopefully final one patched next Monday, which I hope goes as smoothly as the other two. After this, I'm getting sealants put on my teeth so I don't have to go through with this again.
Chapter I'm on in HP6: Chapter Fifteen -- The real world paralells are enough to make you nervous: the cursed necklace that Katie Bell got paralyzed by reminded me of the anthrax letter scares. I'm tempted to write a fake item from a wizarding world newspaper about false Jinx scares, like the funny stories from during the anthrax scares about people flipping out over boxes of powdered bleach coming in the mail, or the really crazy one about the person who freaked over the "white powder" on the knobs of their stereo, which turned out to be common, ordinary household dust.
I'm quietly enjoying the peeks into Voldemort's past: it really puts a human face on him. And am I the only one who finds it eerie that the guy who played the Nazi camp commandant in "Schindler's List" is cast as Lord Voldemort in the movie version of HP 4, considering that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named seems to share some of his followers' hang-up on pure blood? That and the fact that Voldie is half-Muggle... And waaaaah, there goes my pet theory that Draco Malfoy is the H-B P; I thought that would *really* take the air out of his and Lucius's posturing about pure blood.
Number of pages written in "Le Homme Fatal": seven? (I lost count...) I'm coming up on a sticky part, namely a slash scene between Raymonde and his mysterious young houseguest. The hard part is making it convincing, since Raymonde is openly straight and closeted-ly gay, while his house guest is carefully hiding his *huge* sexual appetites, all the better to keep his identity undercover.
Number of meals cooked today: One, dinner, which consisted of turkey tacos, something I've wanted to make for ages. I'm glad to say they were a hit with my parents!
