Actually, I'm somewhat impressed at the number of magical apparati that Rowling has created to make her delighted readers go "oooh" and "aahhhh." I have to confess, I've done my share of ooohing and aaahing. My particular focus today is the concept of the Pensieve. Rowling created a spell that would allow a witch or wizard to remove cluttered memories from their heads and bottle them up. The witch or wizard would then pour these memories into a bowl called a Pensieve to review them later like watching a movie of the events that transpired.
I found myself in awe of such an invention. Imagine: the ability to achieve clarity by "weeding out" psychic debris. And, so I hope to achive something of some clarity now by just freely associating some items that are muddying things up:
- Thought journals - THOUGHT JOURNALS!!!!??
- Presentations - PRESENTATIONS!!!!!
- Vaudeville
- Shenani-omygod.
- Out of the Glute becoming regular? Finding a permanent home?
- Pony Show?
- Fall show?
- School? Am I ever going to work in my own classroom.
That didn't work. Now I feel more anxious.
