Everything is changing so fast for me.  In less that 3 days I will become a mother.  This has thrown me into some sort of spin- my head always seems up in the clouds ( Read more... )

This poem touched a nerve... and I have never even experienced something like it before!  Thought I would share it ( Read more... )

Another Thanksgiving come and gone...

Haven't spent much time on LJ- I've been trying to write for NaNoWriMo instead! There are only 5 days left in November, so I know I won't have 50K words in time, but I think this has been a good experience. Having only written short stories up until now, I realize just how difficult it is to string together a ( Read more... )

Continuing along in the vein of literary thinking, I went through my poetry/quotation folder earlier today and stumbled upon some passages that I'd written down and forgotten about. The problem with a hand-kept journal of inspiration is that it is very difficult to organize T_T

Been a while since I actually posted anything here :P My computer exploded and Hubbs wants to build me one from scratch. I have been patiently biding my time, but the motherboard was DOA, so I finally broke down and got on Hubbs' crappy lap top. It'll be another week before the new motherboard arrives.

Lately I've been trying to add more non-fiction to my reading diet.  Currently I am devouring "Japonisme Comes to America: The Japanese Impact on the Graphic Arts 1876-1925" and it is dry but really interesting (is that even possible?).  It doesn't have much to say about actual Japanese artists, but it does give some in depth info on various ( Read more... )

I recently watched Pirates of the Caribbean 4.  I wouldn't recommend it.  Johnny looks good as always, but a hunky pirate isn't enough to save that movie.  At first glance I thought the missionary/mermaid relationship might be interesting, but no .__.

Anyway, the point is that before I went I did a little research on the character of Captain Jack ( Read more... )

It's national book week- grab the 3 closest books to you, turn to page 56, post the 5th sentences.  Don't post the title ( Read more... )

Tonight was supposed to be a fun night with Hubbs... we had dinner out at one of our favorite restaurants and had rented Ugetsu, a Japanese ghost story that we had wanted to see for a while.  BUT.

But, but, but... and I swear this ALWAYS happens... the DVD was scratched beyond repair.  It seriously looks like someone took a bit of steel wool to it ( Read more... )

Discovered a fabulous quotation this morning:

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember: You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you."
-- A. A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)
