The Half Blood Prince's Potions Book

OMFGYOUGUYS. If you haven't seen this series, or you've picked up the beginning of it and gone "Oh hell, this is totally not something I can get into" like I did (hahah, but I kept watching because I am bored stiff cool like that), then for heaven's sake go and watch it. And I mean stick out all of the tomfoolery at the beginning, because the set up is half of what makes the rest of the series so poignant and beautiful. Shit. I can't say more without spoilering, and if you have watched it, you'll understand all of my glee much better than I can ever explain it. God.

GO AND WATCH IT NOW DAMN IT. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. OKAY, SO YOU MIGHT FOR LIKE FOUR EPISODES, IF YOU DON'T ADAPT WELL TO WEIRD MINI-MECHA...BUT IF YOU DON'T STICK IT OUT, I WILL BE MISERABLE IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION.

Spoilers under the cut (for Bleach and for TTGL, and actually, for Weiss Kreuz: Gluhen too.)

Also, it is definitely spring. As well as carpets of flowers, the Magnolia, Plum and Cherry trees are all coming into blossom and everything is looking bright green and lovely. I'm thinking about fencing off the driveway temporarily during the winter this year to let my mare clear up the brambles - she'll eat anything, and she'll lawnmower her way through them in a way that wouldn't be possible by hand.

I think I'll go take some photos this afternoon before the rain comes back in over the weekend. It's just so gorgeous out there, it'd be a sin not to bask in it for a while.
