	Monday evening, ravenous
	A few quick things: There was a cave-in in the Comedy Mines today, so I'm still working on my Pixel-Stained Technopeasant piece. This is after I couldn't sleep all last night and couldn't get to a computer all day long, handwriting what I could instead. I'm just trying to get it up before midnight at this point. It's been that kind of day. particle_person: "Cleo, some large candy makers have petitioned the FDA to change the definition of chocolate not to include cocoa butter. There's only three days left in the public comment period -- it ends April 25 -- so if you like your chocolate not to taste weird, drop the FDA a public comment before then." Which I did, and though I used the form letter, I also prefaced it by saying that I would stop buying American chocolate if they went through with this. If you leave a comment, I suggest you specifically say something to that effect, in a very clear, concise way--in essence, you will lose my consumer dollars if you do this, because that's the only reason they're taking out cocoa butter in the first place: vegetable fats are cheaper. FINALLY, a decent shot of Bellatrix. Also, since Attack of the Clones is in the book, not online, and I need to link to a specific excerpt, I'm putting it here: [The Geonosians bring Padmé and Anakin out and chain them up next to Obi-Wan. (...) Padmé has mysteriously sprouted a handcuff key, so, you know, good for her. Count Dooku, Nute Gunray, and the Fetts watch as the three captives proceed to break their chains and/or use them as weapons against the monsters.] COUNT DOOKULA: You people have really got to get a better chain supplier.

Heh. I used that in the beginning of the parody I did for Jurassic Park, and I haven't been able to stop reusing it since. : )

There is something very strange about Voldemort's robes in that link, but I can't put my finger on what. Side fastenings? Who knows. And in the back, that's part of that fountain-statue-thing in the Ministry of Magic with the dwarf and the wizard and the whatever, right.

^{oh hay sup lupin. thanks for shaving your hitlerstache}

good luck with the piece!

My first thought was that the shadowing and draping on the robes made it look almost like he was wearing a long, flamboyent scarf.

no, no I think it's still there. It's just...lurking...in the shadows.

Or maybe it is a shadow. I can't for the life of me tell.

On what basis are those the "first pictures" of OotP. *Pokes stupid tabloid*

They are shiny pics though, if only stills from the trailer. What's going on with the boy's hair in the bg of the DA pic.

Also, I totally thought that the Comedy Mines was a real place for a moment. The name of a reputed stand-up club or something, like the Comedy Store or a Jongleurs.

Hahaha, I thought that too. I was like "Oh no, that sounds horrible."

And then I got it and felt stupid.

American chocolate often tastes like flour to me. Scharfenbergers, Godiva See's. all good. Hersheys, ugh.

Was I the only one to almost start crying at the picture of Harry reacting to Sirius' death?

Seriously. (too much Grey's Anatomy..)

If I get all worked up over a picture, I'm going to be scaring little children at the premiere when I hurl myself at the screen in sacrifice on the chance of it saving Gary Oldman from his demise.
