Which is from Pirates of Penzance, which I saw a very rousing and enjoyable production of at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival a few days ago.  Now I'm at graduate school, and starting new things.  I think this will probably lead me to not being online as much--I'm also feeling an urge to focus more on my original stuff in my personal writing, too, ( Read more... )

... Man, I fail at posting every day.  I wonder if anyone is still reading this journal?  Oh, well.

Happy Fourth of July, everyone! I've always liked this holiday--partly because it's in the middle of the beginning of summer, so I've always associated it with . . . you know, summer, and shorts, and popsicles, and ice cream, and it being hot outside ( Read more... )

I know I've been saying I was going to make posts about sexism and feminism in media, and I am, in fact, intending to do so (as well as writing fics I need to write), but instead of that, today, I'm going to make a post about racism in The Lord of the Rings.

Yeah, that's all I had to say.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody!  AND I HOPE IT WAS A VERY HAPPY ONE!

Just want to send this out to everyone in Japan right now--I'm thinking about everyone and hoping and praying for everyone there.  I'm also worrying about everyone I know who's there, so if you could get in contact with me, I'd really appreciate it!

My thoughts are with the people of and in Japan right now, truly.

It's my birthday today!  Who'd have thought it.  I had a very good birthday, in fact!  Filled with lots of birthday wishes, good food, presents, and cake.  It was awesome.  The weather was even good for once!  Very kind of it, I thought.  So!  It was good!  Though I really can't believe another year has gone by, just . . . what.

I haven't posted a ( Read more... )

Again!  Two turtledoves, people.

I thought I'd post my favorite carol--food for thought?
