Meeting this week

This is the monthly reminder that our monthly meeting is right around the corner. Don't forget we are meeting this Thursday at 6 pm. That will be Thursday, September 28th at six pm. I'll be there...will you?

Reading reading reading

I've been reading a collection of Harry Turtledove short stories called "Counting up, Counting down" for the last few days. My favorite story by far has been one called "After the last elf is dead." It's set in a world much like Middle Earth and it's a "what if" story. As in, what if the Dark Lord wins? Good fun.

We haven't discussed that too much on here. Anyone doing any fun reading that's not school work?

Photography Contest

By the way, gang, there's a free online photography conest sponsored by a friend of a friend that gives away actual prizes. It's called The Everyman Photo Contest and it is what it says it is. It is open to anyone that is not a professional photographer. I recommend giving it a shot. It really is a lot of fun and it's free and you get your photographs posted on a professionally designed webpage.

Meh. School is like a 70-pound boulder, resting on my shoulders.

I'm currently reading Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, one of those books that is supposed to inspire you to write. (Yes, I'm a desperate soul.) And as soon as I get around to it, I shall pick Anne McCafferey's The White Dragon back up. I've kinda stalled in my fun-reading, and I'll have to find the time to pick that one back up before I get another novel to read.

I have a crappy poem written to bring, a story idea in my head, and a half-written-pseudo-poem-story-thing that I've been neglecting for a while, and probably will only finish for the metting after next. Stupid school, stealing my life away, like a theif in the night. Naw, more like one of those foreign-film ninjas that rips your heart out. Whatever.

On a side note, any day that Douglas Adams and John Lloyd's The Meaning of Liff gets referenced in Theory of Knowledge class is a good day.

The new Terry Pratchett book just came out and I don't have enough money to buy it! This is serious. Ed! Make the library hurry up and get it...I needs it... Otherwise, right now I am working my way through the Gormenghast trilogy.

I have...nothing to bring right now. Hopefully that will be remedied shortly.

As far as the spaghetti dinner goes...well, I was planning on making filet mignon..but hey, if you really want spaghetti!

GAH! I'll be in Charlotte the next day!

*headdesk*

This is just useless.

(Do me a favour? Post whatever gets read [and is short enough to post]? I really miss hearing things read, but that would be almost as good.)
