Ok, thanks to Target, I've fallen in love with the Be Good Tanyas. And if I wanted to learn to play banjo before, I REALLY want to, now! If I could get good at it, I could even maybe jam with my baby brother! (who is artistically gifted in very every sense.)
I am now going to try to buy their album Blue Horse locally...

Just had a big fight with my husband.
But it was the good kind.
Basically, we chased each other around the house with a big bottle of gold bond medicated powder. Needless to say, both of us need showers and our apartment could use vacuuming. Also, I came desperately close to peeing my pants.
The pictures are posted. HEE!

Those Ireland pics are from two summers ago. Spent that July in Amsterdam, London, and then all over Ireland. The last two weeks were all spent on Inis Mor, just off of the west coast near Galway. Can't wait to go back again, but am trying to put together a trip to visit my family in Japan.
We're going to the arcade on Saturday afternoon, I'll tell ya all about it
Your husband reminds me of Brian Michael Bendis. Well, Bendis with a face full of Gold Bond medicated powdah

Hey little sister. I updated. Cool, eh? I know I am. You should read my words. They're spelt. (That's to say that I did them in the "spelling" style of writing. I figured you'd like that.)

Got some bad news yesterday.
Cried a little.
We probably won't be moving this year after all. (Note: PROBABLY won't be. Still nothing definate. But the fact that it's definate enough that I can cry over it is better than the up-in-the-air future that's been sticking around since the beginning of December. Mm. Limbo for a whole season. Nice place, wouldn't want to live there.)...

Another comic you might like is We 3 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitley. It's about a domesticated dog, cat, and rabbit who have been modified into living weapons.
Very Gory and quite sad as well. It's only a 3 issue series and all 3 should be very easy to find.

Living where there are two tiny movie theaters (and the last three movies that I saw having been Dodgeball, Spiderman 2 and Stepford Wives last summer in Anchorage), this is like watching some vague space-travel award show.
And I think that I missed the musical score awards.
Luckily Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind won best original screenplay and Jamie Foxx's speech was...

Hey, thanks, that's always nice to hear. 
I don't dislike deeper meanings at all, quite on the contrary. It's just that in this case, I really feel like the deeper meaning is the emotions of the story. It very nicely conveys desperation and pain and frustration. What is brilliant to me about it is that it's simple, and everyone can relate to that; as such, you could apply what the story is saying to any act of expressing yourself and failing with equal relevance. By narrowing the idea just to writing, the teacher was doing Chekhov a disservice; it goes much deeper than that.
But the most important thing is that all of that could be revealed by simply reading the story. For all my teacher's specifics, all he did, I think, is detach people from the material and get them analyzing what certain plot elements could be symbolic of, rather than thinking about what the story was actually trying to convey. Rather than saying, "These emotions could be applied to writing" and then drawing parallels, he told us that the story actually was about writing, which it's not. As far as I can tell.
I'm not sure if that made any coherent sense, but I spent a while trying to figure out how to explain it and I'm not deleting it now.

I just got back from a night of beer and blackjack. The beer was delicious, the blackjack was fairly devastating. 'Course, considering that I played for 3 hours on $10, I guess it really THAT devastating... Also, the proceeds went to charity, so I guess it isn't all bad.

I came across you profile by accident actually. I was scrolling down the hookup page and accidentally clicked my mouse and then your page popped up.
When I read your journal entry I immediatley felt that you needed a pal in Minneapolis, and I needed a pal in the great white north.

First posts are always so awkward. So I'll just make a line or two of pirates:
Thank you for the congrats. Its weird, I'm still upset about other things in my life that are outta control... because one thing going well doesn't fix all. Oh well... it'll all work out tho. I hope you get to live your dream job someday soon also... really, I mean that.
The hangover was
I'm going to sleep so well tonight!
