izmeina: a snippet of Escher's circle of serpents (Default)
Izzie has been listening to the radio and heard a short but hilarious program. I guess it wasn't intended that way. Way up at the top of Izzie's hate list are smokers and suburban assault vehicles but even higher than those are blond blue eyed arrogant aryans. But highest of all is reserved especially for arrogant aryans who are also STUPID.
When the transcript appears I will post it...The story was about the so called Christian identity movement who claim to be descendents of one of the twelve tribes of Israel...Joseph's sons Manasseh and Ephraim to be specific. These wandering folk found their way to England and somehow became whiter than white. Surprise surprise. There are also other sorts of creatures in this enlightened theology...Izzie especially likes the mudbl... oops mud people who live in the woods and fornicate with animals.
But the bit that really made my day...in light of Izzie's own affiliations ;) The two bloodline theory where Eve had children not just by Adam but also with...the Great Serpent himself..... and guess just who they might be???? So far the single solitary scrap of evidence in support of this interesting notion is our very own Cocytusian Cat herself.!!!!
But silly Izzie must wonder... if Judah and Levi and the rest of the family are descended from the great serpent... then surely Jacob their father and also father of Joseph must be as well???? Or is Izzie missing something here?
Never let logic get in the way of self-aggrandisement.

And memories? All the old theories and speculations are doing the rounds again in anticipation of the great day soon to be upon us. One of my favorites concerns Neville and those powerful memory charms. Thought of this one myself before seeing it surface elsewhere.
Neville's pathetic incompetence and forgetfulness is just too over the top and reinforced so often to be merely nothing but a pesky quirk of personality. Then we discover the odd snippets about his parents and the nasty little episode with the three spiderses. That must be one of Izzie's favorite chapters in the whole book. Madeye Moody was up there with Remus Lupin in the Izzie favorites list. Such a terrible betrayal.
I still cannot believe that even years later new ideas about this stuff pop up in my little green skull. Well Izzie suddenly realizes on Monday night after reading the latest Potter theories that Neville's reaction to the spiders and Izzie's reaction to the events in the graveyard were remarkably similar. Not a terribly welcome insight when one has an exam at 9 am the next morning. So off we go down memory lane. The strange thing is this zombie state for me lasted a few weeks or so. It ended in an instant when the reason why finally zapped its way past all the gatekeepers and guardians of those green cells. It was only then I realized just what enormous quantities of energy are consumed by such powerful memory charms. For a whole year Izzie had been feeling even more tired and miserable than usual. But the worst thing is that even then, this gas guzzling power hungry spell is not satisfied. One starts sucking energy from the surrounding environment. The muggles cannot quite put their finger on it but it as if... never mind 'as if'... they suspect they are in the presence of a Dementor.
Even Vernon and Petunia were astounded by the sudden transformation of their miserable Moaning Myrtle into a chirpy cheerful bright and bubbly irrationally exuberant serpent.
So if the watered down muggle versions of these spells can be so potent then surely their potential to transform in the magical realms could be truly astonishing.
So ickle Izzie slinks to the bar and puts a sack of 30 silver sickles on Neville doing something .... well extremely unlike the Neville that we all know and love to pick on. And Izzie will be the first to smirk "I told you so"

One of Izzie's favorite songs ever.....
And it is even better with the music



WHATEVER YOU SAY SAY NOTHING

Chorus
Whatever you say say nothing
When you talk about you know what
For if you know who should hear you
You know what you'll get
They'll take you off to you know where
And you wouldn't know how long
So for you know who's sake
Don't let anyone hear you singing this song

You all know what I'm thinking of
When I mention you know what
And I fear it's very dangerous
To even mention that
For the other ones will always hear
Although you may not see
And if anyone asks who told you that
Well please don't mention me
Chorus

You all know who I'm speaking of
When I mention you know who
And if you know who should hear me
You know what he'll do
So if you don't see me again
You'll know why I'm away
And if anyone asks you where I've gone
Here's what you should say
Chorus

Well that's enough about so and so
Not to mention such and such
I'd better end this song now
I've already said too much
For the less you say and the less you hear
The less you'll go astray
And the less you think and the less you do
The more you'll hear them say
Chorus
