2/17

“Are you trying to get a shoe launched at your head, Meloni?” 
<>
“Well,” said Marlene, “I am quite brilliant.”
<>
“As the only here who has tried to off herself,” said Carlotta, “I think it might be a good idea.”
<>
“Well, we’ll have to catch up soon,” said Sabrina lightly. “So much to tell! Oh, did you hear?” She leaned confidentially forward. “Carlotta Meloni and James Potter.”

I am trying very hard not to just fall asleep, because I really want to finish Part II tonight. Part I and Part V are done. Part IV has maybe two scenes left.

    I'm trying to do the same too at the moment. I need to edit my Corporate Profile paper for my intro to business tomorrow. GETTING NO WHERE. I mean, what the hell is a value line report?? I didn't ask for this.

    I just drank a doubleshot coffee...thing. Helped a little.

    Ugh caffeine would help so much right now. But my room is really cold, and I already had to go outside and fix the circuit thingy because we blew a fuse, and now I don't want to leave my wonderful bed.

    Weeeeell, to me that's like a super hero ability. I'm still at a loss on how to cook rice (i put the rice in the water BEFORE i boil it..the concept just doesn't stick)

    can you make noodles? or macaroni and cheese from a box? That's a similar concept...

    Nope.

    Mainly I just don't ever...cook. Rice was an experiment. And I failed. Lesson learned I guess.

    Except EGGS! I can fix eggs. I make a mad egg, toast and orange juice breakfast.

    And breakfast is a meal you can have at any time of day. It's not like lunch. You couldn't have lunch at breakfast. That would be gross.

    Because Sabrina probably is talking to Lily. I really can't see James or Carlotta breaking that news to her. And the Marauders won't. Alice won't, which leaves random person aka Sabrina

    Cold pizza with cheese is gross (I mean, ew, melted cheese that's congealed? Really?). Thin crust marinara with a little bit of basil and chicken, though, is breakfast's best friend.

    And I've often believed that yes, Carlotta is trying to get a shoe launched at her head.

  22. UnknownFebruary 18, 2011 at 2:53 PM

    I don't know if this Sabrina is talking to Lily, but my first impression was that this is how Lily finds out about J/C, either directly or by overhearing the conversation....though I've been wrong before. Like, always ;)

    Has anyone heard the song Carlotta Valdez by Harvey Danger? It's sort of appropriate (pretending Carlotta's last name is Valdez)..

    "Carlotta Valdez, i will make you her
    what a thing to be the center of attention all the time
    he isn't really falling for this, is he?
    he's getting dizzy
    and so am I"

    ReplyDelete
  65. JulesFebruary 20, 2011 at 11:41 PM

    Yes, that song is about Hitchcock's "Vertigo," which is what inspired the name for Carlotta... although not for any plot-related reasons, for those of you hoping that, in keeping with the movie, Carlotta would be deserted by her wealthy husband, die, and possibly possess her suicidal great-great granddaughter.

    Actually I just picked it because I thought it was a great Femme Fatale name.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Kayla 2.7February 20, 2011 at 11:43 PM

    I think that sounds like a good direction for the story to head personally.

    The name does terribly suit her. Carlotta..you just know you're going to hate her the second you hear the name.

    The only consolation is that we all know, deep down, that James is still in love with Lily, and Carlotta just isn't good enough to change that. But that is, seriously, the ONLY consolation.
