I shouldn't be here. I have no time to be here. But here I am. Nonetheless, I shall not say all the marvelous (boring) things I've been up to RL that have kept me from this place, or rave/complain ad nauseum about the Potter flick, because I don't have time.
But I just thought I'd drop a passing reference to the Greek/Irish Jemima and Cassandra were talking about. I don't know about this myself (in fact I didn't even really notice the line so much in the context of the film beyond a passing "eh?") Afterwords, though, I walked out with several friends, one of whom was positively chortling over that line because she "just gotten it." She figures it for an oblique reference to "The Hound of Ulster." You know. Irish. Big dog. Eh. I'm not sure I subscribe to that theory, but it makes more sense than to believe that Columbus is really quite that big a gimboid. Anyway, it seems to make my friend Liz happy so intentional or not, there's at least one person it isn't wasted on.
