You'd think that because I'm writing a story that has a lot of fairy tales in it, I'd remember how the fairy tales go. Not so.

Somehow at work, we got to discussing wearing clothes made out of cats. So I mentioned the fairy tale Catskin.

Me: So, there's this fairy tale Catskin, about a girl who wears lots of cat skins. Or in some versions her name is ( Read more... )

It's nice to have people who are willing to eat/cook exotic food again ( Read more... )

My thoughts on it are as follows:
- want Eames/Arthur
- or Cobb/Arthur
- would also settle for Ariadne/Arthur, as it turns out.

It was a cool movie. Good mix of action and character quirk and "oh that looks cool." And I kept wanting to know what would happen. And the premise was good. So, I recommend it!  Unless you're the sort of person (you know who ( Read more... )

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself.

So, tomorrow and Wednesday I'm attending Conventiculum Buffaloniense, the purpose of which is to teach and encourage us to communicate using spoken Latin. Since Latin is difficult to do with names that don't conform to its rules, the attendance list at tonight's welcome had given each participant a Latinized version of their own first name, which ( Read more... )

AND about time.

Seriously, 90 minutes of "GOAL!-- oh never mind." "GOA-- no..."  "G-- nope."  And then about 2 minutes before the end of the game, which would put the US out of the world cup, they score @_@

Why you guys got to put me through this?  This isn't Hollywood, you know?
