In No Particular Order...
1. Happy early Easter! I am going to try to make a rhubarb cake for the occasion. :D
2. I am making a list of predictions of changes that 'The Hobbit' films will make from the book, judging purely on Peter Jackson's very... distinct... style of directing the Lord of the Rings films. Things such as "There will be a half-dozen points in the film where Jackson tries to make the audience think that Bilbo is going to die, even though anyone with a basic grasp of how movies works isn't going to be fooled." There are actually quite a few things about Jackson's style that really, really got on my nerves, especially on my recent rewatch of The Return of the King.
3. I have senioritis so bad, it is hardly to be believed.
4. I've been waitlisted for Teaching in France. I should know by June 8th, for sure. So now we commence the Waiting Game, Round 2.
5. Significant clean-up effort in my room -- dozens upon dozens of Boy's Life, Highlights, and American Girl magazines are now off to a better place. I'll be honest, I did feel a pang of nostalgia parting with those and some of my stuffed animals. But it's so nice to have all the extra floor space, now. I love being able to walk in a clear, straight path from hall door to closet door. And in fact I do it. Frequently.
6. I'd love to invite you all to see me give my presentation on why Harry Potter fanfiction deserves some respect of its own alongside the original, which was selected among the exemplar presentations of my Critical Procedures class! I'd love to, but I think that it's a bit of a commute for most of you. D:
