My roommates and I all bought tickets for this thing the second they came on sale, way back in January. The animated Beauty and the Beast from the '90s has been my favorite Disney movie pretty much my whole life. I have had arguments with people who point out the plot holes (I'm already aware of them, thanks, and I can and will explain why each one ( Read more... )

I posted this as a thread over on Buffy-Boards, but the discussion might be more productive here than over there, so I'm posting it here too. As perpetual already knows very well, one of my favorite hobbies is figuring out which Hogwarts house I'd put the characters of all my favorite shows in. If you're not a Harry Potter fan (first of all, how dare you), ( Read more... )

My whole family has been into Star Wars for longer than any other franchise, including Harry Potter. I remember watching the original trilogy on VHS before the prequels hit theaters. I was nine when The Phantom Menace came out. My youngest brother dressed up as Anakin for Halloween that year. My other brother got tons of Star Wars Lego sets and a ( Read more... )

I successfully kept to my Buffy review schedule for a whole week! I've now written summaries/reviews/analyses for episodes through "The Pack". It's been a lot of fun so far, and I've definitely noticed more things than I did on passive viewings in the past. I'm trying to keep my mind open to new interpretations rather than being influenced by what ( Read more... )

Hey guys! I just started a new blog in which I review and analyze episodes of TV shows with a moderate amount of snark. I'm starting with Buffy (and will alternate Angel episodes once I get to S4). I did "Welcome to the Hellmouth" today, and if I can stick to my awesome new productivity-maximizing schedule, I should be able to do one every day of ( Read more... )

I read perpetual's awesome post about her favorite moms and dads in fiction, and I had to make my own.

( Beware spoilers... )

Okay, I have this OCD thing where if I start a show and watch enough of it, I feel like I have to keep watching it until it's over, even if it mostly only aggravates me. This is why I'm still watching Bones. And the first three episodes of the season were actually pretty good! They remixed the intro theme, which I did not appreciate, but I really ( Read more... )

This is me wearing the dress I made in sewing class for my final project, with my hair up in an Edwardian twist. The dress took a couple of months to make in my sewing class (since I only got three hours a week to work on it). In the original pattern, the dress had pockets, slightly longer sleeves, and no trim around the waist or at the hem. I made ( Read more... )

Since August, I've been working on making my costume for Halloween with the help of my mom, my grandma, and a lady at church who has an epic embroidery machine. Yesterday, we finished it, so Mom and I did a photoshoot. Well, three photoshoots in different locations. And hopefully we'll be able to recruit a horse to use for another one before this ( Read more... )
