Love for Obscure Canon Characters, Part One: Phineas Nigellus Black

I like Phineas Nigellus [Black]. I like him quite a lot. Even though it's not clear if Nigellus is his last name or what.

He's snarky and sarcastic. He wasn't, according to Sirius (a biased source if I ever heard tell of one, makes Harry look downright impartial), particularly popular as a Hogwarts Headmaster, but he seems to have had no entanglements with any Dark Lords. He says, "We Slytherins are brave, yes, but not stupid. For instance, given the choice, we will always choose to save our own necks."

He's a fanon Slytherin in canon. I will cling to him as all the other generations of Slytherins go on having utterly incomprehensible motivations.

New laptop for meeeeeeee

Haha. Our insurance agent is not as dumb as he looks, and they are giving us the replacement value of Pan ($1,049 minus the $50 deductible). So, like, I only get a new 12" iBook G4 with Combo drive, AirPort Extreme card and 60 GB hard drive, and I'm paying the difference for those little upgrades. Muahahaha new laptop! And my family will get this one, since they bought it for me to replace that one, and all will be well.
