Say something funny 'til I cry.
I found out yesterday that Lloyd Alexander, the writer of such classics as the Prydain Chronicles, passed away on May 17th. This probably shouldn't have been shocking, as he was 83, but I have mentioned on several occasions that it would be a sad, sad day when he died. A sad, sad day, apparently, that I missed and had to be informed of several ( Read more... ) -
Extra! Extra! Hey, look at the headline! Historical news is being made.
Last night I saw the Vancouver Arts Club production of "Gypsy". I had initially wanted to give my mother a ticket for Mother's Day, but it didn't work out. It would have been worth it just to see her face when she realized it was about the "quintessential stage mother ( Read more... ) -
But your friends are hungry so just cut the stupid cake
It appears I have been abandoning this journal of late. Life is getting in the way of what's really important: telling my friends about my life without talking directly to them ( Read more... ) -
LBJ took the IRT down to Ford Street... for the SAT.

T-minus twelve hours and counting until the SAT. I know that I can always just take it again, but I'm incredibly nervous nonetheless. To tell the truth, I just want to get it over with so I can function normally again. -

Tomorrow is the day my friends and I have been anticipating for months. Come tomorrow evening, we will be buckling swash, swabbing decks, and quaffing grog. I guess I didn't play dress-up enough as a kid, so I'm making up for it now. With the Harry Potter book release last year, the second PotC film, and who knows what else in the future, I'm ( Read more... ) -

Today is a very special day. Both my sister and best friend are celebrating their birthdays, right between Canada Day and Independence Day ( Read more... ) -
Like a bike, but with more horsepower
I saw Pixar's latest film yesterday. I'm still in awe of the marvels these people can create; I suppose I always will be ( Read more... ) -
The beginning: a very good place to start (otherwise known as the obligatory first post)
As it is the anniversary of the birth of my country, I feel I should actually make the first post in my LJ. This probably should have been done at some point last year, but I'm a big fan of procrastination. Anyway, this is my journal, which will probably be updated periodically, with posts that may, with any luck, be vaguely interesting for ( Read more... )
