I can't tell you how many times I thought about the backup procedure you described to me last time my computer crashed. I thought and thought...

I'm concerned that even when it is 2009, there will be no change. I've gently stopped hoping for Gore now. I don't like my other apparently-viable choices (though Dodd has impressed me lately). I see no Sign of Spine. Do you? Who do you like for the nomination?

HDM is so wildly and blatantly anti-religious and thinky and deep and imaginative and startling that it overwhelms its own storytelling defects with its sheer brilliance. I think you'll enjoy it--but it ain't no Harry Potter. You think devilish satan-worshipping wizardry worried the wingnuts? Hoo boy. And polar bears.

Re Dumbledore: I'm still waiting for the far-more-obvious Sirius/Remus love to be authorially confirmed. But yes, it was hard to avoid the implication that Dumbledore had been in love with Grindlewald, and I celebrate JKR for putting it out there.
