Golden Compas Movie Site

><((((º> Blog

For those of you who used to read the blog I had to create for school, it has taken a new direction. Since so many people are asking me for lists of children's books I like, lists of books on various topics, things they should read, etc, I have decided to put such a list online. It will take me quite a while, but I'm making super progress while I should be writing papers.....and let's face it, I just love making lists, and book lists should have pictures.

So, for anyone who wants suggestions on children's books to read, they can be found on my old FIS blog (link on the right).

Fry and Laurie

It didn't occur to me to put Fry and Laurie on the previous movie blogs, so here's some now.

Mystery
Hey Jude
Piano Master Class
Hugh Laurie is Dead
The Sophisticated Song
The Subject of Language

There's quite a bit more if you want to look it up yourself.

Picture Books

Some older picture books I enjoy.

PARTY!!!

Went to A.T.'s YPFIS end of year party yesterday and had a wonderful time :) Played games, had great food, talked w/ friends, generally relaxed on a beautiful day. Very much needed and enjoyed! Thanks A.T. and parents!

Happy birthday to mom-in-law (shortly to be) and her brother T this week.

Also, cleaned out the cottage on Sat. which was a bit sad for PI.

Still working on 2 papers.

School's Out!

The fact that classes are over is a bit of a relief, but, as I still have 3 papers to write, not much of one.

Congrats to mom who got into grad school :) Guess next year I'll be helping her w/ her homework :P

Went to Luisa Miller on Fri. I'm not the hugest Verdi fan, but the performance was quite good.

Kristine's memorial service was today. It was good to see so many people there, though I agree w/ MT, I was surprised there weren't more Mooredale aged people around. Guess they're all still away at university or something.

Happy birthday to cousin A and Granddad.

Here's an exercise program for anyone who's worried that their job as a librarian is too sedentary. - Library Workout Tape

Also, an update on our nut-bar cat. He's back to his regular, trouble causing self again, including his attempted escapes from the apartment, howling at doors, and destroying of furniture.

Oh, and a couple of bash.org postings I forgot to post earlier.

Kristine Bogyo was a wonderful person and will be sadly missed :'(

NEWS!!!

So, as far as I know there is no one lurking on this blog that should be informed by family and doesn't know yet....IT are expecting again!!!!....TWINS!!!!!

We're all exceptionally excited for them. Having two kids does, in some way, make up for losing one :D

Good luck w/ everything, we're here for you, esp when you're stuck at home and need company and something to do!

Vet

The cat has decided to get sick and cost us quite a lot of money. I personally think it might have something to do w/ the fact that he is actively eating one of PI's shoes and quite a lot of other stuff around the house.

He's throwing everything up and not eating much, so he's staying in the cat hospital so they can monitor him for a couple of days....and cost us an arm and a leg. The cat is now insured. *sigh*

Facebook

After having resisted for 3 years, I have finally become ensnared by facebook and urge you all to do the same! Hooray for brainwashing!!!
If you're already there, poke me or something :D
