LOL… TY for the birthday greeting, Sheryl<\/a>. (Jo Kinisha<\/em> is planning an HP movie night or summat… She said send her an email!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In other news, I am still working on my HP Quidditch costume. The good news is, I’m nearly done (I’m working on the robe and I should say, I’m about 60% complete). The bad news is, well, there’s really no bad news; just good, I suppose. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

I’m so tired though, so I leave you with this bittersweet (somewhat morbid) ballad by J. Keats:<\/p>\n

La Belle Dame Sans Merci<\/p>\n

O WHAT can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
\nAlone and palely loitering?
\nThe sedge has wither\u2019d from the lake,
\nAnd no birds sing.<\/p>\n

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms!
\nSo haggard and so woe-begone?
\nThe squirrel\u2019s granary is full,
\nAnd the harvest\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

I see a lily on thy brow
\nWith anguish moist and fever dew,
\nAnd on thy cheeks a fading rose
\nFast withereth too.
\nI met a lady in the meads,
\nFull beautiful\u2014a faery\u2019s child,
\nHer hair was long, her foot was light,
\nAnd her eyes were wild.<\/p>\n

I made a garland for her head,
\nAnd bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
\nShe look\u2019d at me as she did love,
\nAnd made sweet moan.<\/p>\n

I set her on my pacing steed,
\nAnd nothing else saw all day long,
\nFor sidelong would she bend, and sing
\nA faery\u2019s song.
\nShe found me roots of relish sweet,
\nAnd honey wild, and manna dew,
\nAnd sure in language strange she said\u2014
\n\u201cI love thee true.\u201d<\/p>\n

She took me to her elfin grot,
\nAnd there she wept, and sigh\u2019d fill sore,
\nAnd there I shut her wild wild eyes
\nWith kisses four.<\/p>\n

And there she lulled me asleep,
\nAnd there I dream\u2019d\u2014Ah! woe betide!
\nThe latest dream I ever dream\u2019d
\nOn the cold hill\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

I saw pale kings and princes too,
\nPale warriors, death-pale were they all;
\nThey cried\u2014\u201cLa Belle Dame sans Merci
\nHath thee in thrall!\u201d<\/p>\n

I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
\nWith horrid warning gaped wide,
\nAnd I awoke and found me here,
\nOn the cold hill\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

And this is why I sojourn here,
\nAlone and palely loitering,
\nThough the sedge is wither\u2019d from the lake,
\nAnd no birds sing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
