I've watched 'Once More with Feeling' twice over the past few days. One of my favourite bits is at the beginning, when Buffy sings (something very like) '...we'll do or die, and I've died twice.' Giles looks at her and gives the sweetest smile, and I turn into a little puddle of goo.

I'm deep into my second reading of OotP, and am noticing so much more than I did during the first frenzied read-through.

For some reason the servers at work don't like livejournal, and for most of the weeks it's been unavailable. That's good news for my boss, I suppose. Bah!

Random Buffy moment,

Non spoilery OotP thought
I'm deep into my second reading of OotP, and am noticing so much more than I did during the first frenzied read-through. I haven't been able to bring myself to read any fanfiction based on it though. I did read one short Snape/Lupin story, which was good, but it didn't feel right somehow. It seems a bit indecent to read or write anything based on OotP, like it's too soon. I've never had this feeling before and I'm wondering how long it will last, and what it means. It's probably somthing to do with wanting to enjoy the book on it's own terms for a bit, rather than plunge straight into either my own or someone else's version of it. I give myself another week, and then I expect I won't be able to resist.
