Little Person

My neighbor just received another little person. ^^ His name is Nathan and I held him when he was only a few hours old. I'm really happy for them, because our family is good friends with theres. However this has made me horrendously busy lately because Ive had to watch their older children; 8 and 4 respectively.

Gaynor's Blog

Gaynor decided to follow my wonderfull example and get a blog. View it here:

Bewarned: You may soon discover that Im the nicest and sanest one of my friends.

New Screensaver

I got a nice new screensaver - It has short bio's of the elves from The Lord of the Rings movies in french, and elvish singing by Jessica Butler.

Daily News in Latin

This is a neat site: http://www.yleradio1.fi/zgo.php?z=20031213131686314670

It has the daily news in Latin, such as international affairs, movie reviews, etc. They have a nice little forum too, and a few sound clips. The site is Finnish which makes it a bit hard to navigate, but once in the forums everything is in Latin so it doesnt matter too much. I highly recommend this, es muy interesante.

When Im Published

Add this to my list of reasons I want to be a published author:
I can know I thought it first. I mean, how many times have you read a book, and wished with a passion that you had thought of something in it (a plot, a location, a charector), before the author? How many times have you thought "I already have, I think, but now I can't use it anyway because it'll be cheating. Its the worst, of course, with clever metaphores; Ive learned the hard way that less can be more in that direction.

I havent dwelled on this too much since I read Lirael and thought I would have killed for the library setting, but A Song of Ice and Fire is about to do me in. I swear, I love the book but I fight my way through every page thick with jealousy. Am I a bad person?

Y ahora Aleman...

German, the one language Ive decided to firmly wait until next year to begin, seems to be chasing me. After seeing it pop up in one form or another all day, I came home and decided, during my five seconds of free time, to load up my old .hack/ game. I guess I simply forgot the introduction was in German, but it suprised me nonetheless, especially since I rarely hear German, or any other language besides English and Spanish, spoken aloud.

Hangman

Played Hangman with my sister - quite fun for about half an hour.
The results:

Melissa: Taxes
This one threw me for a bit of a spin because you expect a long a and a solid consonant.

Me: Sophomoric
She got this one with a bit of time to spare.

Melissa: Hypothesis
This one didnt take long despite her forgetting to put up the second h.

Me: Reminescent
She could have gotten this one, but lost it and guessed w instead of m on the last guess.

Melissa: Perpendicular
This one bugged me, but after a few letters I looked at it a while and produced it straight out.

Me: Qat (An Arabian Shrub)
I couldn't resist...

I got a blog

Yay I finally got a blog!
This should be usefull; as I cant keep a diary and I always want to write stuff down. Well anyway this is a rather dumb first post but Im like that - I cant jump into things right away. Watch me say that and then return later tonight... nah Ive got homework.

Namarie!
