So I've been on an old movie kick lately, and I watched "All About Eve" for the first time a few days ago. Or rather, I should say, I finished watching it a few days ago because my life does not lend itself well to seeing an entire movie all in one go without interruption. But anyway. The movie was awesome and I looked it up on Wikipedia to see ( Read more... )

Dear Pixar:

So what you're saying is that it's okay to flush live fish down the toilet because all drains lead to the ocean and the fish will eventually get home, but it's not okay to throw toys away because they will not only be heartbroken, they will also meet a terrifying, fiery death?

Just checking,

Me

P.S. I always knew it hurt the toys ( Read more... )

Just got back from seeing "Avatar," and I have only one question ( Read more... )

1. I just want to stop feeling sick all the time! Why is that so much to ask? *throws tantrum* Raaaar!!

2. My nephew can now say "Ri," and even managed "Aunt Ri" a couple of times yesterday. Not entirely sure he understands that he's talking about me when he says it, but whatever, I'll take it.

3. not_a_monk had rented "Star Trek: Generations" to inflict ( Read more... )

1. Spent yesterday and this morning in bed with the Worst Headache I Have Ever Had and the fallout of said Headache. Mother-in-law said it sounded like a migraine (apparently you can get those from pregnancy--huzzah for pregnancy!) even though I wasn't light or sound sensitive. *shrug* Whatever it was, I just hope it doesn't happen again. Owie ( Read more... )

1. My craft stuff is officially getting out of control. Attempts to organize it in such a way that it is all accessible and nothing is getting crushed by anything else have led mostly to hair-pulling frustration. But I shall yet prevail.

2. Chocolat is a much more engaging movie than I remembered. The only other time I saw it, I mostly came away ( Read more... )

1. Swish New Computer: I have a new computer. O.O I was scheduled to inherit thomas_a_kempis's old rig because he's buying himself a new one in order to more efficiently blow up virtual bad guys in Crysis, but somewhere along the line not_a_monk got Dad's old rig instead of me, and I got a shiny new computer for my birthday (which is nearly two months away but hey, no ( Read more... )

I am at work and bored! Thus, a meme!

( 40 questions about 2008 under the cut )

1. I was going to say that I had a really lazy weekend because I got a lot of reading done and didn't wash my car as planned...but I did all the glue work on a complicated quilling project, I made pistachio pudding cookies and Guinness brownies, and I did clean a bunch, even if I didn't get to the car. So...actually a pretty productive weekend, I ( Read more... )

1. Writing: The first draft of the Narnia fic is done! \o/ I haven't looked at it for over twenty-four hours, so I have no idea if still like it or not, but I liked it when I finished it Saturday evening. I'm feeling sort of fretful about it, though, because it's just such a departure for me to try and write something lyrical and thinky with ( Read more... )
