According to the school age kids at work (namely the eight through eleven year olds), Smallcreep looks like someone from Pokemon. No clue who, just "someone from Pokemon." The Squonk looks like a "demented bunny. Are you sure you're drawing that right? It looks weird." and Russel is Ozzy Osbourne ( Read more... )

Today, we went to a dairy. We saw cows, and also got rained on. Nothing says "Oh, hey, maybe we should get inside" better than dustdevils and screaming six year olds. Though it was a seven year old with the best line of the day ( Read more... )

-Just finished re-reading the The Death Gate Cycle for the first time since I read it in 2004. It is still as fun as I remembered. Now, five years later, I can see a few things that kinda grate on my preferred style, but...the authors know how to tell a story.

In relation to the post's title: I can't stop listening to Caramelldansen. CAN'T STOP. This is an illness, I think.

Pictures of my feet, the dogwood tree, the sky come out fine, but my car - on a sunny day - gets blacked out. SERIOUSLY WAT. Photos will come, sometime, if I can actually TAKE THEM. Also pictures of the Asylum Satellite ( Read more... )

-hockey game + sore throat = that might not have been the best idea. (but we had seats six rows up from the ice behind the Portland Pirates' starting goal. How was I supposed to stay quiet?)
-American Gods is starting to pick up the pace. I am suspecting something Quite Afoul in Lakeside, something somewhat akin to that one creepy episode of ( Read more... )

Saw Coraline today! Very, very, very pretty movie. I mean, the storyline was also great, characterization was wonderful, music was awesome, adaptation was quite possibly one of the best novel-to-screen adaptations (even with an additional character being tossed in! Geo, worry not about Wybie, he fits pretty good!) but...ultimately the best thing I ( Read more... )
