Triskaidekaphobia!

Snope.com has some fun information about Friday the 13th if anyone is interested.

I've usually had good days when it was Friday the 13th.

Superstitions are funny. I like Terry Pratchett's idea of "substitions" - things that do exist but people don't believe in it.

Here is a photo of Charlie at the Air Victory Museum. He is saluting like a British soldier, for some reason.

And here is a photo of my very handsome 16 year old nephew, Aaron. Isn't he adorable?



I am rereading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and I noticed the Lovegoods are mentioned in passing - Arthur asks Amos Diggery if anyone else is coming, and Amos says that the Lovegoods left a week ago. So Luna lives in the same neighborhood, or near the same neighborhood, as the Weasleys. Not important or anything, but I thought I'd mention it. This is why I like JK Rowling so much. Her attention to detail is astounding.

And Veelas are such Mary Sues. Makes me laugh.

I am trying to finish an essay that I am going to submit for possible inclusion in a book about Autism. It's due by Sunday, though, and I don't know if I'm going to make it. Wish me luck.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix the text on my Live journal? For some reason I get little boxes instead of words on Live Journal. Not in my entries but on the page itself. It is very annoying.
