Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.
I would post about this on Facebook, where it might be seen by more people, except that I deleted my Facebook last month, making LiveJournal the only social media account I still have. Well, I have been gripped by the need to post something about this somewhere, so LiveJournal it is ( Read more... ) -
2018 update!
"I don't know if anyone is still around, but here is an update" seems to be a common theme in my friends list these days, so - I don't know if anyone is still around, but here is an update ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
HEY GUYS, I was going to write a proper intro for this entry but then I realized it doesn't deserve it. Long story short, here is the original Star Wars trilogy as told by someone who has never watched the original Star Wars trilogy, i.e. me.

intensified luck soldiers
As of yesterday, I have finished my first full rewatch of the anime Vision of Escaflowne since the last time my friends and I marathoned it, which I suspect was in 2009. (It's true that last year I said I was rewatching it, but due to a lack of emotional fortitude I stopped three episodes from the end so it doesn't count. I also attempted a rewatch ( Read more... ) -
Shakespeareathon: The Final
One last post before we return to our regularly schedule programming - here is a list of the plays in the Shakespeare canon, roughly ordered based on how much I like them (although they are alphabetical within each category because otherwise I would be here all day). This list is more for future!Sarah to look back and laugh at, because I am 100% ( Read more... ) -

I'm very happy to have done this Shakespeareathon and I'm pretty proud that I was able to finish it. I learned a lot about Shakespeare's plays and I'm excited to keep learning about them ( Read more... ) -
Shakespeareathon #2
Apologies to those of you with no interest in these entries! I am a mere seven plays from the end, at which point we will return to our regularly scheduled programming of Sarah and her boring life.
( If one good deed in all my life I did, I do repent it from my very soul. ) -
Shakespeareathon: Intermission
I am currently halfway through Shakespeareathon #27 and will post an update to that list soon, but in the meantime here is a short post about a Shakespeare-related movie I watched recently: Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela, a Bollywood musical adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet." Based on the previous very few Bollywood movies I'd seen, I went in ( Read more... ) -
Goodness is nothing in the furnace of art.
I apparently haven't LJed about it since 2010, but rest assured that Amadeus, the not-a-biopic about Mozart and his fellow composer Salieri, remains one of my most very favourite movies. I've seen the movie (in both theatrical and director's cuts) a kajillion times, but I'm much less familiar with the play it's based on. I had read it and I had ( Read more... ) -
