Gah, didn't get to start on my vacation report because that book review was so tough to get through. Average books (or any media) really is the hardest to write a review for, there's just not much to write about. And I'm going to have a review a day for the next week at least, might be two weeks before it slacks off, had a few books that I didn't ( Read more... )

Car got back with better brakes and two new tires and I'm not going crazy, my mom is having to make an awful lot of repairs this summer and usually has at least one thing in the car to repair each summer as well. Working out a few things still with Ted using the wheelchair most of the time (mainly the backdoor so that he can go out and smoke easily ( Read more... )

Got over to Goodwill and grabbed a t-shirt to modify for the Yanma gijinka but it needs to go through the wash first. Got the hat washed for Erika, I'll start working on that tomorrow (probably need to alter the brim which makes me worried that I'll mess up). Went to library, discovered that the library volunteer coordinator once accidentally ( Read more... )

Because it's really quite remarkable that a number of people did. XD Then again I know some of these people pretty well and the stranger my friends page the better ( Read more... )

Gah, more unpacked today and sorted (plus two loads of laundry) but I still have tons to go. Really need to clean out my entire room this summer as well, I've got a ton of stuff to start with and need to work on that pack rat tendencies again. Gah, it's so much easier in the dorms since I have less space that I have to make the decisions more often ( Read more... )

Like, I saw Ponyo the other day and it was just alright. I think it was an excuse for Ghibli to go "Hey! We still do hand animation, yay us!" because, while the plot isn't the strongest point of all their films to start with (aren't about half their films adaptions?) it was pretty weak here. And the adult characters, urgh, pet peeve of mine is how ( Read more... )

Well another short hiatus, this one I blame on books actually. Lots of book related things have happened to me over the past few days.
( I'm not kidding, it's A LOT of books! )

On Friday morning apparently the cat was waiting behind the basement door, waiting for my mom to open the door next to it (which separates her half of the hours from the half that my brother and I sleep in) and then bolted out to go to my room ( Read more... )

I THOUGHT my brother and I had tech crew (for the WIlly Wonka play) on Saturday, he checks his gmail, no it was last Saturday, then I get a call from shader this morning, I have sewing to help out at, go out, and find that tech is also meeting. Gaaaaaahhhh, now I REALLY want to hack my brothers account (and it wouldn't really be hacking, just ( Read more... )

I was riding my bike a little too fast today down a hill (ironically I was showing off and that was part of my problem), had to swerve around some people, accidently went into the gutter (there are like, NO sidewalks near my home, just gutters) and this was a particualary deep one. I was trying to get back onto the road (also because the next ( Read more... )
