After 20 minutes of utter frustration at the post office this morning, I return highly amused by a most appropriate

Set Perfectionist, prone to anger or irrationality. Aspects of Duality. Colors: male: turquoise, female: black Compatible Signs: Geb, The Nile Dates: May 28 - Jun 18, Sep 28 - Oct 2 Role: God of chaos, evil, the desert, war, violence, conflict, and sandstorms Appearance: Form of a man, with the head of an unidentified donkey-like animal. He was sometimes seen as a pig or a hippo. Sacred animal: the mythical "Set animal" What is Your Egyptian Zodiac Sign? Designed by CyberWarlock of Warlock's Quizzles and Quandaries

Yes, I find this quite appropriate indeed.

I've decided today is guilty pleasures day and so I'll share one of mine with you. There's this one episode of Little House on the Prairie, ok actually a made for tv movie for the series, wherein the one character I actually liked on the show, Albert, comes down with a terminal disease and presumably succumbs to it shortly after the credits roll. Yeah, I know, I'm a total black widow when it comes to the characters I get attached to. If I like them, they're doomed. Which does make me fear for Severus. If he were a character in the movie Feast his life expectancy would probably read: "Ellie loves him...he's fucked."

Anyway, they were playing the show last night, which I discovered quite by accident, and I recorded it. That show and the movies "The English Patient" and "Dark Victory" are my "Break Glass in Case of Emergency Sob-Fest Flicks". If I need to cry my eyes out they're all guaranteed to do it for me. I have this thing about dying with dignity, you see.

Of course it doesn't hurt that I also had a raging crush on Albert Ingalls while growing up.

Got a guilty pleasure of your own? Share it in the comments.

I ought to just turn that right back to you, you're the one who's lacking a Snupin project....

Speaking of, what ever happened to the idea of an HP Tarot deck? I vote for Severus as Knight of Pentacles... that's just so... him. And some Gryffindor for Knight of Rods, though I'm undecided which. Maybe James.

There actually are a couple of HP Tarot deck concepts out there, but I've never gotten anywhere on mine. I'm almost thinking of Severus casting the Avada Kedavara on Albus as a kickass Death, myself.

It beats Sirius tripping and falling through the veil, sure. :) Although I think Severus killing Albus would be better for The Tower. But I'm trying to match card-meaning to character, really, more than images (though that works on both levels, IMO). It doesn't hurt that the Knight of Pentacles in my deck looks like Alan as Severus, but the card meaning fits him perfectly too.
