Update

JKR posted her rant about how girls shouldn't be so focused on being skinny, and all I can say is "go, JKR!" Yeah, I have some issues with how she writes girls in love in HBP, but I don't care. I couldn't agree more with her skinny rant, and I actually don't think she makes fun of her fat characters. She makes fun of her gluttons. She has other characters that are overweight (Molly, Sprout, Neville, Pomfrey (I think), heck- even Vernon) and their weight is never a subject of humor.

That said, I want to see fic (or canon) where the twins learned their beating skills from Molly.

Other stuff:

I've been quiet recently, because there's been nothing much to say. I've been a bit down and fighting it because it's weather-related, I think, and just general grumpiness. Still lonely, but not much I can do about that in the short term :P Toby is now rolling over like crazy, but once he gets on his tummy he can't roll back over onto his back. Napping has been a nightmare recently- I can only let a 4 month old cry for so long, and he's got one hell of a will. poolman, I have pictures for you as soon as I can swipe the card reader from Duckie, or as soon as he sends me the pics. The outfit now fits, and it looks adorable on him!

Writing is going slowly. I really need to finish this chapter of AIL. I'd post the shorter chapter, because I have 13 pages written, but it's right in the middle of some major action. Plus, I'm having a hard time with Sirius's scenes this time around. He's gonna be in SO much trouble... hehehe. Poor Sirius. It's turning out he's a pretty crappy Auror in some ways.

And I still have to finish my Cool Hand Luke review.

Oops. Someone's awake. And on his tummy, so I'd better go rescue him.

Clean Humor

I need help for a story I'm writing, because my sense of humor is really bad. Well, no. I just don't know many jokes that aren't corny or scientific.

What's your favorite clean joke? The funniest one you ever heard? (Yes, I could do an internet search, but I'm curious as to what people will come up with.) I have to ask because my favorites don't work for this story. But in that light...

My favorite non-science joke

A frog walked into a bank. The clerk, Mr. Paddywack, came over to help him.

"I need a home equity line of credit," the frog said.

"Do you have collateral?" Mr. Paddywack asked.

"Here you go." The frog handed over a paper bag.

Mr. Paddywack looked inside, but was at a complete loss. "Excuse me for a moment," he told the frog, and took the bag to the manager.

"That frog wants a home equity line of credit," Paddywack explained. "This is his collateral, but I'm not sure what it is."

The boss looks in the bag and says, "It's a knick-knack, Paddywack! Give the frog a loan!"

My favorite science joke

Two atoms are walking down the road when one atom says "Oh no! I lost an electron!"

"Are you sure?" the second asks.

"I'm positive!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

See why I need help?
