Is it a coincidence that today's initials are "VD?"

Its 8:43 in the P.M.... do you know where your children are? No, seriously... Today was decent. As per my usual Wednesday schedule, I didn't have to be at the school until 2:30 for Stage Combat. Remember, on Mondays I also have Acting Shakespeare from 11AM-2PM. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet this week because of Labor Day. You know, I think ( Read more... )

Alright, I lied. Before I continue making up for the months I haven't updated, I want to talk about the latest PR fiasco in the video gaming world, the "Hot Coffee Mod" for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ( Read more... )

I honestly can't remember whether or not I've mentioned this, but I think it's pretty important: There is finally an official college ministry at Hope. It is being led by Alex Miller and his wife Kim. It is being assisted by John and Ellen Wood as well as Shane Kamerer. All five of them are or were very heavily involved in the BSU.

I have not updated in a long time... a long... LONG time... However there is a reason for this: I am planning on dropping my LJ. For a while now I've been working on various projects, and one of which is a zine of my own. I'm going to call it "Knusperflakes" and it will take the place of this blog. It is going to be based mostly on film, literature ( Read more... )

Have you ever seen a movie that you really liked, but you had no idea why? And more so, have you ever seen a movie that, logically, you KNEW you shouldn't like... but did anyway? Well I have, and it's name was "Ghost World." I saw this movie on IFC (the Independant Film Channel) yesterday, partly on a whim and because there was nothing better on. I ( Read more... )

Tonight my family and I watched "Secondhand Lions." On the DVD box it said that it was "the happiest movie of the year" and then it listed whatever year it was. 2003, probably. Maybe 2004. Anyway, my mom and my sister had already seen it, and they loved it. So had my grandparents, and it was their copy that we watched, though they had gone to bed ( Read more... )

I subscribe to the philosophy that says "it will always be better onstage." However, this does not mean that the movie-adaptaion of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's "The Phantom Of The Opera" (ALSO produced and written by Lloyd-Webber)was anything but extraordinary ( Read more... )
