Wow! Yeah. I know. I haven't posted in, like, ages. I've kept meaning to, but life's been hectic ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, it was one of those ones that was written ages ago and abandoned incomplete at chapter ten. Bummer! It was hilarious, but with a serious plot underneath the humour. The best kind! And the humour was situational rather than just ridiculous slapstick or farce, which made it all the better ( Read more... )

Hmmm. I wonder if it's wise to try to write this when I'm this tired? That sometimes makes my coherence go out the window, but I'll give it a shot anyway ( Read more... )

So I've been re-reading Lord of the Rings again this week. And for some reason, as happens every time I read it, I find myself absolutely fascinated with the Nazgul! I think they're my favourite characters! And that's been true ever since the first time, when Mom read me the books back in first and second grade (it took us a year ( Read more... )

Yeah. So for about a year now, actually it's been more than that now, wow!, Mom and I have been going to a Unitarian Universalist church, and back in June we both became members. And by now it's actually starting to feel like a *religious* community as opposed to merely a social club or debating society. Not that there isn't plenty of debating ( Read more... )

So the wedding today was absolutely gorgeous! The bride and groom are both very musical, and in fact are both musicians themselves, so there was a lot of really great music! The choir sang, and God how I wish my own church choir sounded that good! Though Brigid told me that they don't usually sound that awesome because they're not usually that ( Read more... )

So last Saturday was great! Mom took me out for a belated shopping trip for my birthday (which was actually back on the 6th), and I bought the new Star Wars Fate of the Jedi book! Yay! We also stopped at this wonderful, totally nerdy science store, and I bought a kind of pen that I've wanted for ages. It's a "space pen" - the kind that ( Read more... )

Well. I've been making changes to my newly resuscitated home computer set-up! The accessible Facebook mirror wasn't working on my old one and it was really getting on my nerves. Lame? Probably. Don't get me wrong, I'm relieved beyond expression to have my home computer working again. It's so great to be able to check my emails without having ( Read more... )

Well. As I said earlier, this movie is so good and so relevant that I think it ought to be mandatory. As in, I think it ought to be mandatory viewing in all North American history classes while they study the "settlement" period of Canadian and U.S. history. Heck, it should probably be part of all studies and discussions of contemporary ( Read more... )

So on Friday night I saw Repo the Genetic Opera for the first time, and yesterday I finally saw Avatar. And let me say that both were definitely worth experiencing! I'll review Avatar in more detail later, because honestly it gets every A+ I can give it. But for now I'll just say see it! And I'm not even raving about the 3D, because I can't see ( Read more... )
