TV Tome?!?
What in the world happened to TV Tome??? I just came from thier website and it looks like it's been bought out by some kind of high powered conglomerate that doesn't know how to make it's links work properly. I'm hoping that whatever happened is very recent and they are ironing bugs out of it or something. But I suspect that it just plain sucks now and I'm going to need another go-to site to get my episode guides and such. Any suggestions?
I've been going to group with more regularity these days, and therapy as well. Plus tomorrow I'm seeing my employment counselor guy to tell him that I want a damn job ASAFP. They were talking about carving me out a job in an advertising agency. I'll be so Melrose Place! "I'm a poweful advertising executive. Dig my short, short skirt!" Of course I'll still be reading tarot for people; and maybe I'll even expand beyond 5 paying customers and K. That would be nice.
You'll be glad to know that I have moved on to acceptance in the death of Albus Dumbledore. Maybe that is funny or silly to you like it is to H, but I've gotta tell you I was fucked up over it. He deserved to go out better than weakened, helpless, and surrounded by mocking Death Eaters.
My stages of loss:
1. Shock: "That spoiler is so ridiculous I won't even mentally entertain the possibility!"
1.5 Anger: "Go fuck yourselfSan Diego JK Rowling!
2. Denial: "He is not dead *insert theory about polyjuice potion, silent spells, or absolutely anything else that would allow him to live*. Maybe Harry will wake up in bed at the Dursley's on August 31 and runs out to catch the train at the end. Then we'd get a whole extra "real" book!!
3. More Anger: "JK Rowling's new name is Killy McGee, and I vow to refer to her only as such in perpetuity throughout the universe."
4. Fear: "My God, what will any of us do without Dumbledore?!? Who will die next? Harry?!? What about the zombies?"
5. Acceptance: "Alright goddammit, he's dead. Just give me the next book already. It's been almost a week, what the hell are you waiting for?" ;-}
I said to H, "Geez, I don't want to live in a world without Dumbledore!" and he said "You already do." Okay yeah, I get that it's a book. I'm not stupid and that's not my brand of crazy. But dammit, it was terribly sad. And I read Harry Potter to be filled with whimsy; not to feel like the whole damn world is full of liars and back-stabbing killers. Although I am confident that before the end, this will play out in some kind of satisfying way.
In other news, Shark Week has been okay so far. Not as great as I'd expected. Tonight was an hour on the guy who was purportedly the inspiration for Jaws. I don't mind telling you that 60 minutes (okay, 42) glorifying the murder of sharks for sport is not what I'm looking for in a shark show. The only difference between this guy and Vic Hislop is a boat load of tourists.
They showed Air Jaws today. It was awesome, as usual.

I will just keep hoping that she brings him back :) You do have a point about the polyjuice potion...they kept mentioning it in the beginning. Hmmm :)

But as I recall, they went to the cave and then to Hogsmeade where "Dumby" had a drink and then they went immediatly to the castle as they saw the dark mark.
So maybe he re-upped his polyjuice potion in Hogsmeade. I mean, drinking the potion was not a very Dumbledore-like thing to do. And the whole thing with the crying and pleading...not like him at all. And yet...everything he said to Draco sounded right on the money for the Albus we know and love. And Killy McGee has always made it a point to say that death is final even in the wizarding world. So it's a tough call. She's probably laughing and looking down on us from on top of a giant pile of money.
