...a little piece of sunshine from me to you:
A friend has been on my heart a lot lately.  The time I spent with her this past month
wasn't too long; I wish it was longer.  She shares an appreciation for things of a literary
nature that I don't really share with anyone else.  Perhaps I am often reminded of her
because of a co-worker with similar ( Read more... )

Saw a screening of Juno tonight and it was great.  You should see this movie. 
I so want a hamburger phone now.

I'm totally in geeky book-movie-books-turned-into-movies-mode.  You don't understand how excited I am for I Am Legend , Atonement...(hah, funny how feelings change)
I recently finished reading We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley ( Read more... )

This past Saturday, Ian & I went over to the book fair just to see what was going on.  It didn't take us too long to get through it all..most of the books being sold were modern ones.  The best vendor there was the internet book seller who carried first editions of sci-fi books.  Saw a Bradbury one that was signed but I didn't want to shell out the ( Read more... )

I like how one year later, marriage is even better than it was when we first started. 
I like how I managed to complete Love in the Time of Cholera.  It seemed to wind around all over the place, but I know Garcia Marquez did that in order to explain everything and besides, it ended quite sweetly. 
I like how everything is happening on October 12th ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Ian and I went to the fair with Dad & Sandy.  The weather was great..sunshine and a nice breeze.  Spent most of the hot hours of the day walking around the exhibits/booths observing the immense creativity of God in nature and watching demos on products we had no intention of purchasing.  Had an amazing Spinach Wrap thus proving that it ( Read more... )

As many times as I see the Blood Brothers perform, it just doesn't get old. 

Number of books I own…
Around 70.

The last book I bought...
The Confident Woman by Joyce Meyer

The last book I read (and finished)...
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.  Brilliant book by one of the original Twilight Zone writers.  They are filming a screen version of this and with Will Smith starring, I'm sure it will be horrible....but I'm sure my ( Read more... )

Wednesday night was so incredible.  After many a day where
it fell through, Ian & I finally make good on our plan to minister
to the homeless.  We met up with some people from church,
divided what we each had to give, and split up in three groups.
We ended up meeting these four gentlemen who really weren't
much different from you or I.  My heart was so ( Read more... )

The works I have recently read by Orwell
and Levin are incredible.  Their visions
of a futuristic society are so chilling, yet
in some ways, it seems that life is
headed in that very direction.

Their brilliance, along with the entire
book of Revelation, keep me inspired
and fearful.

Resist.

Sitting by the window looking out at the wet landscape has a very soothing effect on me.

As if somehow, the drops can cleanse the city.
Cleanse the city of its selfishness.
The roads were empty on account of
rain inflicted sickness
and those who "braved" the rain
calmly drove to work free from
accidents waiting to happen.
