Emma and Northanger Abbey

2008-07-25T03:05:34Z

This week I finished Emma and Northanger Abbey. These were the last two Jane Austen novels that I had not read. I loved both of them, but I'd rank Emma 5 of 5 stars and Northanger Abbey 4 of 5. WARNING: SPOILERS ABOUT BOTH BOOKS BELOW I found ...

Gelato

2008-07-24T22:34:22Z

I actually have several book reviews in progress, but haven’t had the time to sit down and flesh them out (and make sure I have things right, like the characters’ names or the spelling of the author’s name, little details like that!) as I’ve been...

In the next day or two, I hereby solemnly promise to blog about the following: My new house (I took photos, but some turned out blurry. I'll see if I can take some more this evening). The second half of my trip to Chicago. My "angry dreams." Bu...

50 Book Challenge : Book 1

2008-07-24T09:33:51Z

Well, it didn't take long to finish the first book, "House of Cards" by C.E. Murphy. I don't intend to write long elaborate reviews of anything, but I'll say a few things about the books I'm reading. I really enjoyed this book (which is probably...

Brain Freeze

2008-07-24T05:05:50Z

As I spoke about in a previous blog, I have recently “purchased,” using credit and not real money, a Nikon D80 camera. I love it, and have been out trying to learn the ins and outs as best I can. Today, around lunch, I finally decided to read the ...

Reading

2008-07-23T13:26:47Z

Probably a bad thing for a writer, but I seem to have gone off reading paperbacks, in particular science-fiction and fantasy. Double-bummer for a writer of fantasy. Not sure what the problem is -- or if it can actually be defined as a problem. ...

Riding and reading my way forward

2008-07-23T06:12:26Z

After a little summer vacation from blogging, I'm back. Hello World! as they say in C Sharp, Powershell, and every other beginner programming class. After you say "hello world" what happens next? Well, that's for us to make happen I guess. A few ...

dusts off blog

2008-07-22T09:23:37Z

So, after reading a post on Flickr about the 50 book challenge, I thought this might be the right time to dust off my blog that I all but abandoned last year as the assignments started piling on. According to the Washington Post, 25% of people d...

Reincarnated Children

2008-07-22T02:19:23Z

Today's topic is Children who claim to have been reincarnated. If there's one thing that bothers me, on a personal level, it's the thought of children being trapped "in spirit" within this physical plane. If there's one thing that truly intrigu...
