I made a stir fry for dinner and it was so delicious! I didn't expect to like it so much, but it was really good. I got the recipe from here if anyone wants to take a look at it. The article is a bit long, but the ingredients and the recipe are towards the middle/end. It's all healthy food, just chicken and whatever veggies you want to add (I used ( Read more... )

I saw TANGLED the other day, a Disney story about Repunzel. I hadn't planned on watching it, it was just sort of on, and I was curious. Unexpectedly, I really liked it. I thought it was a great story about a girl discovering her identity and a great hero's journey type of story. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it ( Read more... )

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Other than some minor annoying family drama, the day was nice. It was nice to just relax and enjoy time with family. And pets who felt the need to help make dinner.

I went to see BREAKING DAWN part 2 today. It was okay. About what I expected, since it's the last half of the last book (which was the slowest, ( Read more... )

I saw Snow White and the Huntsman over the weekend. It was really good (but then, I did go in with low expectations, so maybe that affected my viewing of it). I was expecting Kristen Stewart to be a brick like she is in the Twilight movies but she was acutally pretty good. She showed emotion and generally acted like a normal person. She even ( Read more... )

I've been catching up on some reading (since I didn't really have time this semester to read much), and loving it. Now, though, it's time to get back to the writing. I wrote about 1700 words today on the rewrite of my YA novel. Yay ( Read more... )

I feel like I've hardly posted anything at all this year. Just busy I guess. Anyway, I saw The Hunger Games over Spring Break, and I really enjoyed it. The basic storyline was the same as in the book, though they did change a few things. I didn't like that they changed the story surrounding the Mockingjay pin (how Katniss got the pin) and what it ( Read more... )

I just realized some unsettling comparisons between the Lion King and Hamlet. Never thought about it before, but the two are actually fairly similar to each other, plot wise (and I'm already imagining how I would write that paper, sadly enough). It's interesting to be an English major sometimes. Anyone else ever notice before?

I meant to post about this last week, but then I got busy. I saw Sherlock Holmes 2 last week and it was really good. Not as funny as the first one, but then the subject matter was much more serious and dark. It's the big confrontation with Moriarty, and they handled it really well. There were still some very good humorous moments that balanced out ( Read more... )

1) I have a great Thanksgiving with my family. We watched movies, read, and basically relaxed. Mom was a bit worried about the turkey, as we didn't find much white meat on it. Turns out, she cooked it upside down! It was funny. Still, we had a great dinner and now have plenty of leftovers ( Read more... )

I saw Captain America over the weekend.
