good things

The whumf-load of work I've been dealing with of late ends today; tomorrow, I'll (finally!) be able to set up a dental appointment, and get my teeth fixed. (A friend is in the city for an interview tomorrow, as well; if the gods are kind, we may be able to meet up.) My apartment mate has very kindly burned a chipful of photos to disc for me (dating back to taking pictures of the then-frozen reservoir in Central Park with Gabriel, back in March), so I'll be able to upload those; too, the next two Harry Potter chapters are both already half-completed (after taking an average of four months apiece with the last four.) Not much chance I'll be able to stick to the original plan, and have my story completed before Deathly Hollows comes out, but ah, well; it's progress, and it feels good.

And, so far as matters HP, there's The Three Trials of Severus Snape, a radio play by sam_storyteller, written as a radio play for a Spellcast live event at Phoenix Rising. From the author's summary: "Minerva McGonagall narrates three events in the life of Severus Snape, in an attempt to show his true character." (Also, please note that it contains Half-Blood Prince spoilers.)
