Nip it in the bud.

Yay references!

The whole memory-play thing reminded me of a Pensieve.

Also, Malvolio (the Magician!) is the name of Malcolm's spider in She's the Man, which incidentally, as was pointed out in AP Lit a week or so ago, is based on Shakespeare's The Twelfth Night.

Applicable scene comes in around 4:54, but I recommend watching the whole clip, just for kicks.

Also also, this is a victrola, in case you were wondering like I was:

I was disappointed. I thought it would be some kind of instrument. Instruments make for more effective hobbies than potentially skin-piercing menageries.

SPEAKING of menageries, I knew what those were because of Harry Potter. The Magical Menagerie is where Ron finds rat tonic for Scabbers. I believe this rat tonic was the inspiration for the concept of fish tonic, which they do not sell at Seven Eleven stores, unfortunately for Chester Montgomery. My cat is positively hammering at my bedroom door right now, but I just opened it to let her out five minutes ago, and I will not pander to her whims!!!!

P.S. Also, is Laura dead or something?

P.P.S. I didn't like the way Jim handled that situation.
