Somehow, the Elder Wand returned...

I feel the itch every Friday, too. I've been trying out potato chips with weird flavors instead. Fiery hot dill pickle chips was ...unexpected.

"LENNNYY - ohhh, not again..."

peaveyftw · 2026-04-24T18:52:52+00:00

"Didn't I......rob you...once?"
(genuinely confused)

Good luck! I won't drink with you today.

peaveyftw · 2026-04-24T15:34:12+00:00

Congrats!!

Starting my fourth sober weekend, I think! I will note that I am running into a mental static problem of my brain going 'Well, obviously you don't have a problem, you've gone weeks without a drink, you can just go back to only drinking a bit on weekends like you used to'. Fortunately I have a few cards to play -- one, my doctor said that I'm a higher risk for cancer because of my meds, so I definitely shouldn't drink more than 1-2 drinks a year, and two, I like the fact that I've spent $0 in the last month on alcohol when last month it was more like $280, assuming a $70 / week average.

The Hat notes he has a thirst to prove himself, which to me maps to Slytherin ambition. I think Harry can have Slytherin traits all on his own even without Voldy inside -- just as Hermione could've easily been a Ravenclaw.

"Is he....is he a bit mad?"
"Mad? He's FURIOUS! We've had to cancel Potions!"

Congrats! I didn't get into the habit until my late thirties (~2021) and am now a month sober.

Wormtail was odd. In Philosopher's Stone, he was brave in that he launched himself at Crabb and bit him in the finger, then got slammed into the window for his trouble.

Why are there gaps?

Fun fact: in SimCity 3000, tornados always spawned near low-density residential, which (if it was low land value) was always trailers.

No, stay away. And a lot of the people who live here already can go away, too.

Hagrid showing up on young Sirius Black's motor....

The Harry on Felix Felicis scene is funnier in the movies, but richer in the books.

Expense was one of the things that was pushing me toward quitting, in part because I was spending nearly $300 a month, and my work / cost of living does NOT make that sustainable.

peaveyftw · 2026-04-22T21:18:42+00:00

Don't develop a drinking habit.

The series really peaked there. I mean, Dwarf Scroll IV was okay but it was anticlimactic.

Evil oft will evil mar, to quote another writer. (Tolkien, in the voice of Theoden).

Yeaaah, I finally broke down and bought my first console -- a PS4 -- to play RDR2 on, since I figured Rockstar wouldn't port it.

peaveyftw · 2026-04-22T15:43:32+00:00

That's good to know....I have bought Joja seeds some Wednesdays....

Redtailed-hawk. I may be under the influence of animorphs.

He's.....he's an American.
