Since I am time and again a circumstantial liar, instead of "tomorrow," how about, "next entry"?

ANYWAY:

First off, let me say that I have read the novel by Dumas, and that I count it among my favorites.  That said, I’ve gotta comment on how, futuristic setting and nonlinear storytelling and shift in protagonist (from the Count to Albert) and ( Read more... )

For which I am proud of him.  He--my mom's parakeet, aka "Rainbow"--is currently situated in one corner of my semi-sorta-not-really-organized room, with a window in front of him and one to the side.  I think that maybe I'll get him a friend.  I've been thinking it'd be funny to get a black bird (some sort of finch, maybe?) and name it Charlie ( Read more... )

So before I cam home for the summer a friend loaned me a book entitled A History of the English Language. I'm in "The Renaissance, 1500-1650" right now, but having just come out of "Middle English" thought I'd share a few things I've learned thus far:

Looking at samples of Old English text, it looks a lot more like Modern German than it does Modern ( Read more... )

Just so's you-all know, Sean Grube, dude in charge of Residence Life, is an asshole, and may someday find a rattlesnake in his mailbox.

I kid you not--so begins Malakodistudio's "Hellsing Abridged" and it is HILARIOUS. It's not really an Abridged series in the sense that it follows the actual storyline ( Read more... )

One of my favorite books. Of course, in this adaptation there's demonic possessions and space travel and stuff, but then there's that word, adaptation. Animation's fucking trippy awesome, too. Some of the patterns make me think of Mononoke.

1. I really really REALLY need to get my speech planned and do the outline.  This one gets the CAPITALS, because I have to give it in class on MONDAY.  I tried to see if I could get it pushed back to later in the week, but this teacher's not very flexible.

I can pull it off; I've got my materials and my ideas, I just need to organize them.  I've ( Read more... )

Like I wasn't already -- But library also = money, so ( Read more... )

The former's being a dick and not letting me review SharkGirl's Seeker. I've finally caught up reading it (I hadn't read Chapters 18 or 19, the most recent installments) and it's getting really good and I have fantastic things to say about those good things but I can't because the damn review window just comes up as a blank page ==+ And I tried ( Read more... )
