So as I mentioned before, I'm working on a novel. Actually, I'm working on two novels! One is high fantasy, very much in the vein of LOTR and very much inspired by it. And the other one is a story about a superhero, set a few decades in the future, and heavily inspired by a blend of POTO and The Shadow. LOL No surprises there ( Read more... )

So I just sent a draft of my MRP (Major Research Paper=slightly undersized Masters thesis) proposal off to my soon-to-be supervisor for review before I submit it to the department. Wow! It's seemed a little surreal to me all year that I'm really doing this - that I'm really doing my Masters, and that I might really get to do it on Phantom, but ( Read more... )

I've got an essay due on Friday that I want to pull an A on, and I can't for the life of me think how to word it! I've done all my research and shit, and I've been able to put down all my thoughts in point-form, but they're still disjointed.

But still, it's done! So, in honour of the occasion, here's the first of that writing I told you guys I'd start posting way back ( Read more... )

Of course, from a strictly environmental point of view, I don't approve of it. But when it's 32 degrees celcius outside and 39 with humidity, I'm hard pressed to knock it ( Read more... )

Yep! I just went over to Lost and Found and picked it up this afternoon, and it was all there. My violin itself, the bow, and the shoulder rest are all accounted for, which is good because the said shoulder rest is borrowed. It's my teacher's. So Yay ( Read more... )

The reason for that is because I've been coughing like a smoker since Tuesday night, and believe me, I've never smoked a day in my life. I think it's either an alergic reaction to my having swept the bathroom without a dust-mask on Monday or it's a chest-cold, either one of which would kind of suck. It's better today thankfully, but still there ( Read more... )
