Sounds great, J.S!
Mod
me too, Dustin. It is 8:11pm ET, and I am horrified. Trying not to tear up. Children..."
Please be praying for the family and friends of those that are no longer with us...:(
It's 1:10 PM and I will read more of Speak and hopefully finish it soon.:D
9.24am about to go have brekkie with my brother :)
11:22pm ET. just got back from watching The Hobbit!! It was awesome.... for all us geeks :)
12:18 a.m., and trying to get sleepy enough to go to bed. Had a great day with writer friends, writing, talking, and deciding to go see The Hobbit together next Friday night, and had a great evening with other friends celebrating my first Hannakah. Waa, can't figure out how to spell it and don't want to take the time to find out! I am utterly disgusted with the way the world is treating Israel and I don't think that these violent attacks that are happening--Connecticut, the Clackamas mall here in Oregon, and the one in China--are coincidental. You may not want to hear me "preach," but if you want to know what I think is going on, message me. In my reading, I finished "The Vampire Kitty Cat Chronicles" several days ago, and while I ride on the bus, I read "Immaculate Misconceptions" (although I have never been Catholic). At home I'm reading "Benedict Arnold, the Dark Eagle." His story is a sad one that shows what pride and unforgiveness can do to someone. I have been planning a blog post about it and have put it off. Oh, and I finished most of my Christmas cards today. Yesterday was the last day of my editing 1 class, so now I have more time for other things. The editing 2 class starts January 22.
It would seem strange that life and its joys go on in spite of all the tragedies and the fearful things around us and coming upon the world. But it was said long ago that people would be carrying on doing their normal activities until Jesus returns. Even as I say this, I feel the possible oppression that could come upon me from people who hate hearing his name. But I must say that the only hope for any of us is in the Lord. I pray you will all come to understand that and most of all experience it firsthand. Love to you!
7.37pm just had a yummy dinner with my husband now off to see Regina Spektor :D
1:58pm ET. ... it's sunday, i do nothing :D
Mod
How'd it turn out, Kyle?
It's 3:46 p.m., and I have just posted the last installment of my short story, "Manuel Pascal," so the whole thing is now available in time for Christmas. Then I made a blog post called "Conquering the Horror Within." Inspired by the way my characters' attitudes rubbed off on me while I was writing "Against Heaven and Hell," this post contrasts the destructiveness of resentment and the healing affects of forgiveness.
It's 8:24 pm and my internet is acting up. The only sites I've been able to access are Goodreads and my author site. Yahoo, Godaddy, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and Youtube won't load and the screen says that the server can't be found. I don't get it.

Hope you're enjoying :)

Mod
George RR Martin is mean.. :("
Oh no, that is terrible, book-sister..:( I sure hope it didn't spoil it too terribly badly for you..
6:01 pm. Preparing to cook dinner. Funny; I always called it "supper" until I met my husband.

Having ..."No I haven't read The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings Dustin, isn't that shocking! I own all the books and they've been on my to-read list for ages but I never seem to get around to them. I am definitely going to read The Hobbit over the Christmas break :)
It is 9:39am and after seeing Kyle's picture, I am so glad I live on a tropical island!
It's 12:26 pm and I just finished writing a short blog post:http://jsbaileywrites.blogspot.com/20...
11:50AM should it not be PM by now? LOL I am reading and scoping out GR too. I hope the rest of the week goes fast!
Oh BTW JS I read your blog! You have such an amazing outlook on things! That is what I love about you!
It is 4:27pm and checking GR before I call it a day and head home.
4:33 p.m just checking out this new group I joined :)
Mod
Yeah, that is a bit shocking, but you're getting to them soon. That's all that matters. I think you'll fall in love with all the hobbits, Middle-Earth, etc.. I'm so happy for you!!
BTW, I didn't get to them until 2003-04, so I'm a relative newbie.
Mod
I hope you're enjoying your time here, Kit!
Mod
I love her blog and her way with words, too, Janie!

8:57pm ET. Finishing up on here; then time to read. It was a long day and I am whooped! ...zzz

What, really?? Say is isn't so!!! Hopefully is isn't one of my all-time favorites..
Mod
I am very sorry that you don't seem all that happy here, Kyle...:( We certainly don't ever want you to leave!
6:38 p.m and I'll miss Kyle terribly if he were to leave GR, I look forward to his comments every day :(
8:36pm ET. So glad tomorrow is Friday. anyway; trying to figure out what to read next. I love Richard Matheson, but the short stories in Duel are 3 stars at best, so far. Time to stand in front of the book shelves....

Yeah, it's good to be here Kyle ,you know with the whole end of the world and all. :)
8:58pm ET. About to watch No Country for Old Men for the 5 or 6th time. Great movie, great book. If you haven't read it, do so!! Now!!
7:30pm and I'm baking butter tarts with my son (10), and listening to Christmas music.
