The Streak
This website's origins are fairly humble. Cofounder Jason Siegel, on a trip to visit D.C., came over to the Rhode Island Avenue apartment Bullets and I cohabited at the time.

The holiday season often begets a Harry Potter mood in me, so I've been on a kick going back to my blogcat about Lockhart. Since then, I've continued a half-assed binge, which among other things has included watching all of, and reading most of, The Order of the Phoenix. I have some thoughts - on that tale, and HP as a whole.
Before we start, Read more [...]
