Wow, today was busy that I almost forgot that it was November 1 and time for NaNoWriMo. I definitely don't have the time to do NaNoWriMo, so I will be doing NaBloPoMo (a journal entry each day for the entire month). I've been participating in NaBlo since 2008 and I have successfully completed the writing goals each year. My goal is the same: post ( Read more... )

Last week was filled with lots of work-related meetings and a frenzy of spring cleaning. Now that I have some free time this week, I can finally breathe and catch up with my LJ posting and reading.

Regarding this Tahoe trip...it was a mad whirl of activities with the weekend just zooming by so fast. Unfortunately, there was no new snow so we nixed ( Read more... )

*primal scream* LJ just ate my post and now I have to type it again. *glares balefully at Frank and the Unvarnished Error notice*

Random Musings

• The Hunger Games opens today! Squee, I'm so excited to see this film because I love the book so much. In fact, if I hadn't had to work late, I would be sitting in the theater right now because I had a ( Read more... )

As I stated in this entry, I went to see Cirque du Soleil's Totem two days ago on Friday with my mom and our mutual friend. Because we had a lot of time before our 8pm Totem show, we decided to see John Carter in 3D at the Great Mall in Milpitas and have a light dinner.

John Carter was bizarre, but in an interesting way. I didn't know what to ( Read more... )

Happy New Year! :D ( Read more... )

Whee! Today is the last day of NaBloPoMo 2012 and I'm quite pleased that I was able to post an entry every single day of this month. It was hard to remember to post, especially on super busy days, but I forced myself to find time, even if it was just a five minute post. Congrats to everyone who reached their NaNo and NaBlo goals, or their personal ( Read more... )

I just got home after watching one of the late shows of Happy Feet 2. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to post today's NaBloPoMo entry, but I made it with three minutes to spare.

Happy Feet 2 is utterly adorable. I love the animation and the characters. The plot is also pretty good ( Read more... )

The King and I

I went to see The King and I last Sunday with my mom and one of our friends. This musical stage production had a very simple set, but I greatly enjoyed it. The actors and dancers were extremely talented and the dialogue was surprisingly witty. I couldn't help but draw comparisons to the movie Anna and the King. *grins* I kept ( Read more... )

Here are a few Writer's Block questions that I missed.

November 16, 2011
If you could spend a day with any fictional character, who would it be and what would the two of you do?
*giggles* Three guesses and the first two don't count. Yes, you're right. As an ardent fangirl of the Harry Potter series, I pick The Boy Who Lived. I want to get to know ( Read more... )

I wet to see a movie with friends tonight, but unfortunately it wasn't my turn to select the film. We ended up seeing something absolutely dreadful called Immortals in 3D. Now the effects were okay and the battles looked spectacular in 3D, but the story made no sense at all. The plot was so confused that it made most of characters seem ridiculous ( Read more... )
