My email is working again, after I recreated all my addys on the new server. (big_al81, email me and I'll try to figure out how to get you set up again.) My website is mostly nonexistent right now, since I foolishly downloaded all the files onto my home puter. So I can't upload them until I get home tonight. It'll be a fun high-bandwidth evening for me.

Email still seems to be coming in at a trickle, but at least I'm receiving now. Whew! And it doesn't appear that I lost any messages. They were all there on the new server when I got the instructions for how to log on. Yay.

up and running

I've finished uploading all the important stuff back onto my website. It should be fully functional now, knock on wood. Some of the kitty pictures may still be missing (*snif*) but I'll get those up soon.

I'm about halfway through reading the second Harry Potter book, and I have just one little thing to ask of those of y'all who have seen the movie already. ( I guess this could be considered a spoiler... )

In related wonderings, why isn't anyone writing perfectly innocent, wholesome Lockhart/Lucius slash rather than the evil, wrong, going-to-the-special-hell kiddie porn most of y'all seem to be writing? ;) I'm just sayin'. ;)

I have to say that in this book, perhaps even more so than the first one, I find Rowlings' writing style quite clunky. She does several paragraphs of pure action, and then a throwaway sentence "Harry was very frightened/angry/surprised" and then jumps back into the action. It's awkward, and it's poor storytelling. But I guess I'm not her target audience, so what do I know. Hmf.
