I had a really good riding lesson last night. I was on Omega and I got to ride the whole time by myself. That is, I was supposed to switch off halfway through, the but person I was riding with never showed up, so w00t. On the other hand, both she and another member of my normal class and our usual instructor weren't there, and I only have six ( Read more... )

It's kind of weird how a comic that has become one of my favorites is about wrestling (of the backyard/professional variety), but I guess that can happen when the person writing it is 1.) Kamio Youko and 2.) responsible for Hana Yori Dango. That is to say, of course the woman who wrote one of the behemoths of girls comics in Japan (and I series I ( Read more... )

.....I just lost my whole entry. Very, very irritated.......

Bear with me because I am an idiot and have never actually made one of these up before...but if you're trying to find a job (nothing necessarily specific just yet) and you're making a resume...what the heck do you put in for "objectives"...and what do you put in for "skills"?

Anyway, on recommendation by ageha_ya, I watched the 12 episodes in the Toshokan Sensou tv series. I know. Gasp! Me, watching an anime!

I'd like to think I can be, but no where near the level of Awesome that was Monday's episode of Chuck. I'm so long used to downloading episodes of my favorite shows that I'm never bothered by the fact I didn't watch it along with most of the rest of my fellow fans. Never say never, though, eh? This is one of those eps where I wish I'd have seen it ( Read more... )

Watching the new Doctor Who special makes me miss Donna SO. PROFOUNDLY. MUCH.

Anyone here read Kenneth Oppel's Silverwing trilogy? It would be easier for you to believe my recommendation of his newest series if you had read that one (because it is awesome). The new series I refer to starts out with Airborn, continues in Skybreaker and ends, I assume, in Starclimber, which I don't have yet because it only came out a couple of ( Read more... )

I know I haven't updated in a bit, but I wanted to link this guy's blog. He, along with a friend, traveled across Russia by train and down into North Korea to Pyonyang. It's a fascinating blog and includes tons of pictures! Check it out!
