Oh, my aching back. And -- I can has Pictures?

I survived the Boy Scout Dinner. I'd tell you all about it, but I'm repressing. Sadly, the pain in my back is making the repression a bit difficult. Wee Hob done pretty good, though, as designated Trash Guy. Even if I found it hilariously ironic that he was so happy doing it there, when he has expressed the opinion at home that having to take out the trash is some violation of his Civil Rights.

I know I have some visually oriented folks on this f-list-- can any of you point me to pretty pictures I might load into Scrivener for inspiration on In Loco? Snape, Privet Drive set, young Dan Radcliffe (are there pictures of him as a very young child?), Dursley actors, drawings of any or all the above? Somehow, I don't seem to need or want images of Hermione-- I'll have to go into it in another post sometime, but she's never struck me as a physical presence like the other characters-- she exists in the books, on paper far more substantially. Maybe because she's almost an "in loco authoris" figure (if that's even correct Latin. I'm too groggy to want to look it up.) I just see her differently somehow and accept her that way just fine.

At any rate, I'd be ever so grateful for any suggestions.

I understand the need for pictures, though I've never seem to have needed it for myself...probably because I'm not a visual person AT ALL! But TELL me something, and you bet I won't forget it. I can imagine things well enough, but I lack the capacity to render true images, which made the decision to not become an artist very easy.

Well, anyways. I suggest you check out http://www.deviantart.com/ if you have not already. There are hundreds of pictures like the ones you described. Snape in every single style you can imagine him.

Hope your back gets better. I know the programmer's pain through my husband who also has back problems. Or do you have a prior injury which makes it that much worse?

yeah, I pinched a disc in my lower back and occasionally it acts up. I'm sure my posture at my desk doesn't help. Certinaly staying on my feet all day didn't.
