Let’s start this with a disclaimer: I’ve read the books (once), seen the films, I dislike Harry as a character and think he would’ve died in the first book if not for Hermoine (who by the way would never have fallen for Ron in a million years). Also, none of …
March was a good month, a bad month and too bloody cold. Between the snow, my wife getting permission to stay in the country indefinitely but my depression hitting a low, it’s definitely been a weird month. We’re still working our way through Bones, though it’s not as good now we’re …
