Three dollars and some change

1. A lovely reader over at the Ginourmous list of Anita Blake/Harry Potter fanfic listing is looking for a fic:

After the war, Harry takes up his inheritance and is informed that he has still (a) relative(s) left. He travels to St. Louis and has a house next to Anita's. Only 2 or 3 chapters, up in the Pit of Voles. Anyone have any clues?

2. How many people here have seen A Christmas Story?
[Poll #1312614]
I have to admit, I resisted seeing until 2005. Then I was stormed in at my parents' house one Christmas day and watched it and OH MY GOD I LOVED IT. It's now my go-to Christmas movie every year. What are your go-to holiday films?

3. I had one of those NSS moments yesterday - So I'm planning this book, see, but the main character is a man and most of what I'm good at writing (around here) are strong female leads (in no particular order: Anita Blake times one million, Ziva David, Dawn Summers, Rory Gilmore). It occurred to me that one of the reasons I'm having trouble moving forward is the gender of my lead character because frankly boys are confusing. I'm trying to re-work the book with a female lead. Will advise.

4. If you're into mash-ups, I totally recommend heading over to DJ Party Ben's site. His Galvanize the Empire (Chemical Brothers vs. John Williams) rocks my socks.

5. Mostly, I'm just writing to say hi :)
