Yes, I'm still alive.

At the moment RL is quite busy and I don't spend much time online, only to write emails and - far less often than I used to - to read fics.

And - contrary to popular belief - not all the the fics I read center around Harry and Snape, so when when I find outstanding stories I sometimes cannot review them on S.C.H.A.L.. And so I rec them here.

Today's rec goes to Crookshanks22, who writes amazing, refreshingly intelligent stories about minor characters. So if I are sick of reading the same pairings over and over again and seeing the same often shallow plots, just take a break and read her fics.

X-Mas

It is snowing, quite heavily actually, and I suddenly realised that Christmas is only some weeks away.

That lead to two further realisations:

I definitely have to hurry up and buy some Christmas presents
I have to send out Christmas Cards.

So: Who wants one?

I already have some addresses, but I would like more ;-)

I can offer traditional Christmassy Christmas cards, self-decorated modern-Berlin ones or self-christmassified mediaveal town ones (although I won't be able to send those before mid-December)

Leave your address, name, age, shoe-size, favourite colour and whatever else you want to tell me in a comment.

I watched the new 'Pride and Prejudice' movie today.

I adore the book and I loved the BBC production and because of that I wasn't sure if there was any possibilty for that I might like the new version. Surprisingly, I did.
Sure, it can't compete, but they still did a good job. No romanticised crap with a 'Jane Austen' label, as some of the adaptions of her other novel are.

The new movie was quite interesting. I liked that the Bennett family's relativ poverty was shown. Keira Knightly is not as comfortably settled as as Jennifer Ehle: plainer robes, smaller carriages, the run-down house. And she's not as accomplished, well-behaved or sure of her place either. That is a interesting new interpretation, as now class distinctions and the difference in rank between Darcy and Elizabeth are even more obvious.

In the novel Lizzy is around twenty, Darcy in his mid-twenties. I always found Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth always were a little too old and too mature, especially I read 'Bridget Jones' diary'. The BBC version has grown-up characters, people who you could easily picture in a job or with their own family, but not the younger, still slightly insecure people of my age.

The down-to earthness of most characters in the new film was nice, although the exaggerately whimsical protagonists in the BBC version where quite enjoyable, too.

My view on this film might have been a little coloured: I was really fond of Mr. Bingley and his sister - though the reasons were quite different: Kelly Reilly was a wonderful bitchy upperclass snob and I loved her for that. Mr. Bingley was just adorable and very cute. Did I ever mention how much I love red hair? *smiles dreamily*

All in all a pleasant surprise.

Starved by Mosylu.
During his first visit to the Burrow, Harry asks Mrs. Weasley something he's been wondering about.

A cute bit of Molly-Harry bonding. And of butterflies. *grins*

Mosylu was one of the first authors I read when I was new in this fandom and I really loved her stories back then. I still do.

I just found a wonderful little fic through gmth's journal:

Crayons by florahart

It has a Harry/A Crayon ship.
Make sure to read the author notes first ;-)

*still shaking her head*

The first novel-length fanfic I read in quite a while:

Unbecoming by Cinnamon
Part One: Denial (The Unbecoming of Ronald Weasley) Denial and fear aren’t such horrible things, especially when you’ve got alcohol and loneliness to hide behind. Ron is perfectly happy in the empty life he’s made for himself, until Draco Malfoy takes one look at him and understands the things Ron fears even better than he himself does. Draco/Ron, R, AU, Post-Hogwarts
I loved the first chapters of this story, Draco Malfoy was quite Malfoyish, Ron was nicely portrayed in his insecurity and his denial. Later parts are unfortunately a little confusing and too emotional. The old problem of the girlification of gay characters. It also bugged me a bit that Harry was gay as well. Writing slash doesn't mean that every leading character has to be homosexual, it's not very realistic.
'Unbecoming' is the first fic that convinced me that Ron, the straightest character in the whole series could actually be portrayed as gay.
All in all quite interesting.

I have jumped off a bridge. – There was a lovely little river below and it was a hot day.
I love sea turtles. – In a soup perhaps…
I spend ridiculous amounts of money on makeup. – Depends on your definition of ‘ridiculous amounts’. My father would say any cent spend on make-up is too much, but in comparison to any average female I spend rather little.
I believe in prophetic dreams. – I’ve been in situations where I was sure that I had already experienced them in a dream (just a strange variation of a déjà-vu), but I would never believe that something would come true because I had dreamt about it.
I plan on achieving a major goal/dream. – Sure, who doesn’t have these major goals and dreams and some (more or less realistic) plans on how to achieve it.

I fucking hate chain theme restaurants like Applebees and TGIFridays. – Someone explain please!
I watch Food Network way too much. – I like food. I cook it, I eat it, I might even watch it, but there’s not network behind it, I can assure you.
I love coaching youth sports. – Yes, only there are three words wrong in this sentence: ‘coaching’, ‘sports’ and ‘youth’
I can pick up things with my toes. – I also open doors with my feet when I have my hands full.
I can't whistle. – I produce a sound that I would called ‘whistiling’ almost all the time when I am in the kitchen or the bathroom and so far my flatmates have not complained.
I can move my tongue in waves, much like a snakes' slither. – What for?
I have ridden/owned a horse. – Yes, but that fascination stopped when I was about nine.
I still have every journal I've ever written in. – I think so, yes. But usually there are only one or two entries and then I abandoned it again.
I can't stick to a diet. – I can, but not for more than two hours.
I talk in my sleep.
I've often thought that I was born in the wrong century. – I think the future might be nice, but as I can’t know for sure. Definitely not the past, I cherish modern comforts like hot showers, coffee and education.
I try to forget things by drowning them out with loads of distractions. – Unfortunately it doesn’t work.
Climbing trees is a brilliant past-time. – How old do you think I am? Ten?
I have jazz in my blood. – The doctor said no.
I would not be friends if they weren't family. – What’s that supposed to mean? But I can assure you that there are several people that I call family, but I would never call them friends because they aren’t, we merely have the misfortune of sharing some ancestors.

I have a tattoo.

I cosplayed or know what cosplaying is.
I have been to over 15 conventions. – No a single one.
I will collect anything, and the more nonsensical, the better. – In my first semester as university we learned that all collectors are somewhat nutty and that you should never work in a museum that has objects you collect privately. Now that I am almost finished with my studies and after meeting many collectors in the course of it, I have to agree to a certain extent. On the other hand, all avid HP fans are somewhat nutty and I count myself among them.
I enjoy a nice glass of wine with dinner.
I'm an artist. – I am prejudiced against people who call themselves artists. In my opinion it’s not an attitude or a title you can give yourself, but it’s something you have to earn.

I am ambidexterous.

Nobody has ever said I'm normal.
Sad movies, games, fics and the like can cause a trickle of tear every now and then.
I am proficient in the use of many types firearms and combat weapons. – NO! And I can’t see any reason why anyone outside police and army should be.
I like the way women look in stylized men's suits. – Substitute ‘like’ with ‘love’
I don't like it when people are displeased or seem displeased with me.
I have been described as a dreamer or likely to have my head up in the cloud.

Feel yourself tagged!

I never imagined I could enjoy,... hell, even read a HP/TR story, even less one with a dubiously incestous subplot.
I stumpled upon A single Love via painless_j's time-travel list. It has a very different take on the 'After the final battle a broken Harry travels back in time' scenario and the old 'nature versus nurture' will never lose it's fascination. I'm not too sure of what to think about some minor issues the fic deals with, but all in all it was a very pleasant surprise.

There's only one possible explanation:
Physiotherapy has been invented by the Health Mafia, that wants that people feel as uncomfortable as possible for as long as possible so they can make as much profit of any case as possible.

Or perhaps they are all controlled by little aliens that feed on pain...

Since I have started Physiotherapy my joint is hot and swollen and it has started hurting again.

And here I thought it was supposed to make me better!

Thoughts on Chapter 1

Mon, 18 Jul 2005 10:23:26 GMT

I'm currently rereading HBP, much slower this time and with more attention to detail.

It's starts with the Muggle Prime Minister sitting in his office after a difficult week. A portray coughs, the sign that the Minister of Magic is going to visit. We hear about the history of Prime Minister and 'The Other Minister". Fudge comes, he is no longer MoM, Rufus Scrimgeour is. He used to be the head of the Auror division. He is the man that "looked rather like an old lion", about whom the fandom speculated for months. All three talk before Fudge an Scrimgeour leave with "The trouble is, the other side can be magic too, Prime Minister".

I liked this chapter, it was a good introduction, light and humorous on the surface, but rather dark in it's content. We see that the war has reached the Muggle world, there are murders and catastrophes.
The chapter provides the setting, it describes the new world in which Voldemort is no longer afraid to use his power. But to me this chapter was not more than an introduction, as it is not closely tied to the rest of the book. Many things mentioned in this chapter are not mentioned again, things that I would have regared as important, the giants, the breeding dementors, the catastrophes. This chapter is a bit unrelated to the rest of book six, but I suppose it could be quite important for book seven.

I'll continue later. Uni calls

Ready to kill

Sat, 16 Jul 2005 13:01:49 GMT

I am ready to kill my flatmate!

We never got along too well. I always thought of her as an immature
little brat, moody, lazy, selfish and always ready to point out
faults in others, while overlooking these sames faults in herself. She
thinks that I am a stuckup Dursley-type or person. It escalated
this morning, when the dog she got herself last week against all
agreements kept me awake all night. She was away, the dog was
howling her small room and I was quite angry after only
three hours of disturbed sleep.

That would not be a reason to kill her, no, I'm moving out anyway (sick
of weeks of uncleaned bathrooms and mouldy food in the kitchen), so I
can very much ignore her name-calling door-banging.

But now she did the unforgiveable deed: The post came and with it my
copy of HBP and she refused to accept it! So the postman went away with
my (my!) HBP. I hope I can get it later today at the post office. I was
there and they told me that they did not know if it would be possible
to pick it up today. Now I'm sitting here, all giddy and very very very
very annoyed.

If you hear of a very cruel murder in connection with HBP than that
might have been me killing her if I do not get my copy tonight.
Grrrrhhh! At least in prison I would have enough time to read it!

Maryx

It's three in the afternoon now and I still don't have HBP!

Mon, 27 Jun 2005 00:57:37 GMT

It's almost three o'clock now. Night-time and I'm still far away from sleep.

Thankfully tomorrow is the odd Monday I do not have course in the morning. ;)

I was just reading a wonderful conversation about cats and their antics on kennahijja's journal: Open Letter to the Furry

I found it quite interesting although I'm anything but a cat person.

I might finally be sleepy enough to go to bed.

Maryx

I'm going to be printed!

Wed, 15 Jun 2005 17:58:14 GMT

I thought I'd never add any post after the initial one, but I just had to share this news: I just got any eMail from an old boss who told me that someone wanted to print something I wrote some years back.
Nope, I do not have any fiction in the drawer that I did not want to share with you, it's a research paper.
About 30 pages of historic research that I wrote when I was still in school. I spend several weeks (full-time!) studying sources in the local archives, digging through old newspapers and 19th century records. The paper turned out well and I was really proud of it. And after several years at university and a lot of written papers I can say that the research paper I wrote for school is still my best academic work. ;)

So this guy found a copy of it in the local archives and really liked it. He asked my former boss where he could find the author of this text and contacted me this afternoon. He wants to print it as part of an anthology on social history. It's not going to be anything fancy, but I get paid and I can have it at my terms. Sure, they are going to edit it and I know that there are some things that I have to rework (I was 18 when I wrote it), but I am going to decide on the final version. (Which basically means that I can keep all the footnotes that I deem necessary ;)

Yeah!

Thu, 09 Jun 2005 18:46:26 GMT

It's SCHAL's fault! I finally decided to open a new journal. (I somehow lost the password of my old one.) Here I am.

As I am not much of a poster, this will probably be the only entry I ever make.

Yours,
