Rec: Left Unsaid by
lillithium, a 56-panel fancomic from Draco's perspective, during the war. It's not DH-compliant, but the art is beautiful (as
lillithium's always is), and there is a story. (Depending on how you interpret it, you may need tissues.)
(Note to
alorea:
blamebrampton wrote something new :p Although I'm not sure if you would be offended that she brought royalty and current events into it.)
I'm sure it says something not so good about me when I'm watching
Flight of the Conchords and go, "Hey! That's Greg Proops's voice!" (I always thought he would make a good ad executive.) Speaking of music: thanks to end-of-year lists, I am highly tempted to buy English CDs—the world is ending guys. However, my musical taste is oscillating wildly right now, so I might be able to convince myself not to get some of these.
While surfing the CS departmental website, I found a few interesting tidbits on the home page of instructor Steve Wolfman:
parody song lyrics. Several of them are about grad school ("Hello caffeine my old friend / I've come to wire myself again"), though more recent songs address working at UBC. A footnote from "One Day Ahead (of the Students)" states that "'Keener' is a lovely Canadian term referring to the students who are sitting in the front row of your classroom
right now doing hand-raising exercises while they wait for class to start."
(This is the same guy that let his class
shave a search tree on to his head.)
