Well, this is it: the last day of November. No more posting every day, which probably means less random book-squee as I struggle for something to say, but on the other hand, I'm going to Anne of Green Gables next, so. :D (Incidentally, that is one of my mother's all-time favorite movies. She never doesn't cry when Matthew dies. And she never ( Read more... )

Guys, guys! Zoe from Firefly was in this episode! Hah! :P

Thanksgiving was fun! I made highly successful apple pie. I realized less than an hour before I had to be at the dinner that I didn't have cornstarch. Oops. Luckily, 30 seconds on Google told me that twice as much flour is an acceptable subsititute! I also had no measuring spoons, and that after I went to all the trouble to get a metric recipe ( Read more... )

bredalot is thankful for street musicians and online books and French dictionaries and you. Happy Thanksgiving, to those who celebrate it, and happy Thursday to those who don't!

Grah. I should be working on my expose for Monday but it's taking an absurd amount of time (I have to look up every third word - it's an archaeological report, so it's all specific scientific vocabulary and I DON'T KNOW ANY OF IT) and I'm sick of working on it. I thought it would be interesting - it's shipwrecks, after all, and I took a whole ( Read more... )

This "posting every day" thing, while it has gotten me more vocal on LJ, is really really frustrating. Sometimes I just have nothing to say, ok?

Umm, How I Met Your Mother was fun. I love when Ted and Barney bond. :D (Poor Barney, though. Also, Barney: everyone likes Batman better. TRUST me. :P )

Ok, somehow The Killers' song Human came into ( Read more... )

So, remember my birthday drabble series I wrote last year for my birthday? I'm thinking of making that a yearly thing. (At least, I'm already planning my "Twenty-First Birthday" drabbles, and 20 is a nice round number.) Even if, in rereading last year's, I'm really proud of those and am feeling kind of frightened about committing to this again. ( Read more... )

I'm going to take a mild detour from the things I usually talk about (not leaving the road, just stopping at a scenic pass). You see, in reading this fugging of Winona Ryder, in which the line, "the Little Women where Christian Bale is Laurie (which makes Jo's rejection of Laurie like 100% crazier, something I once didn't think was possible)," I ( Read more... )

I am very, very upset with ABC right now. I kind of feel like someone died (not someone I knew very well, obviously, but someone I thought would live for a very long time). Ned and Emerson are shocked and saddened, too. :( My only consolation is that now people know who these actors are: Lee Pace is getting cast in all sorts of things, Kristin ( Read more... )
