Okay, my legions of fans, let’s get this out of the way first, just to be polite: this post deals exclusively with discussions of Harry-Fuckin’-Potter, and is, by necessity, chock-full of your daily recommended allowance of spoilers. Do not continue if you want to remain oblivious of the entire plot of the final book. Okay?
Those of you who meet the test of either prior-knowledge or apathy, please click to continue:

I LIVE!!!
…not that I have anything new to show you. But I’m writing on NB again, so at least sometime soon I should have something to post that you can continue to ignore.

Consider yourself forewarned!:
Soon (i.e. whenever I finish it) I will be posting my alternative version of Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None (aka Ten Little Indians). So, if you haven’t read it yet, and want to read both it and my “improvement” thereupon, I suggest you do the former soon. Unless, of course, you don’t care about having pretty much the whole ending of the former given away within the first few pages of the latter. Of course, it probably would help to be familiar with the former, as you would then get more of the jokes in the latter.
That is all.

In a major upset of the galactic business market, SOL Inc. today announced the demotion of one of its most vocal Vice President-Planets, Pluto.
“SOL Inc. has a long history of fairness and tolerance in this neighborhood of the galactic arm,” said SOL Chairman and CEO, The Sun. “But recently we’ve been growing concerned with the behavior of Pluto, our Vice President-Planet in charge of Trans-Neptunian Relations. Don’t get me wrong. Pluto is a good leader, and has done more for SOL than any other small, rocky body. But this latest burst of controversy was just too much for us to stand by and say nothing.”
The controversy in question was Pluto’s recent press conference, where his plan for promoting more than a dozen small, rocky bodies into positions of power within the company was announced. This itself was not particularly shocking, but when the names of these new positions were revealed — Vice Planet in charge of Embezzlement, Vice Planet for the Promotion of Sexual Harassment, etc. — it soon became apparent that Pluto was intoxicated.
“Naturally, this kind of behavior is unacceptable,” continued The Sun, “but SOL is not without mercy. Pluto has been demoted to the dwarf-planet division, and quite frankly, it’s going to take an amazing amount of improvement for us to reconsider the decision. ”
There are no plans to fill Pluto’s now vacant position.
“Pluto’s responsibilities have been transferred to Neptune,” said The Sun, “which has actually been something of a point of contention within the company for some time. Neptune has always felt that the charge of Trans-Neptunian relations is naturally within his jurisdiction. Before Pluto joined the company in 1930, this was in fact the case. But despite the long absence from that division, Neptune should be more than capable of handling the task. So unless something major happens, SOL will stick with its eight vice president-planets for the foreseeable future.”
Pluto could not be reached for comment. His administrative assistant, Charon, said the former vice president-planet would be taking some time off to gather his wits before returning to his new task.
