my roomie's little man
watch out, or I'll cast a spell on you!

Roomie!!!!

Tomorrow I get to see my roomie again. It's been a few months. I'm going to spend a few days with her in the big GA. But pretty soon, she'll be moving back here, so when that happens maybe I'll get to see more of her.

Old TV

Yesterday and today I've been watching The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Mysteries Season two. They are such classics. One episode had a very young Melanie Griffith! The one I'm watching now has Kim Cattrall! See, to me, Pamela Sue Martin IS Nancy Drew. And, although I want to see the new Nancy Drew movie with Emma Roberts, it will never be the same. To me, she's too young to be Nancy Drew.

Also I got Laverne and Shirley (also sn. 2) from the library. I love that show! With one of my friends... I'm Shirley and she's Laverne, although the more I watch it, I wonder if it's now the other way around...

I also really like A Different World.

Manga

You know what I was thinking would translate well into manga or anime format...?
--Animorphs (by K.A. Applegate)
I loved the books when I was younger (I still do).
They tried to make a show out of it, but the special effects were atrocious. Well, some of them... they spent all their money on the morphing scenes and not enough on the aliens. Poor Prince Elfangor looked awful. This is not to say I disliked the show (i do admit that i laughed at the special effects though... still do). I think it would make a very interesting anime series. You could even just make a movie. And if that did well on the market, you could make the Andalite Chronicles, the Ellimist Chronicles, and all the others.
That's just an idea I came up with a while back and thought I would share.

SB

Yay! Yesterday I got my Shojo Beat in the mail!!! It's been a while, since last month I didn't get one in the mail. :`( But, they extended my subscription by one issue, so, yay!!! I love my Shojo Beat!!! My favorite this month was the new manga- Honey and Clover. Finally! A manga set in college instead of HS. It's really funny. I also enjoy the new manga (started last month) The Sand Chronicles. SB Readers seem to really miss Nana, now that it's gone, but I never connected with it b/c I came in too late. When I started reading SB, Nana was already on chapter 20-something. The other manga I never get into is Crimson Field. It was also on chapter 20-something, but it's also about sports, a subject I could care less about. Next month sees the introduction of Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time. I'm very excited, but also confused b/c I thought it was the same story as the anime- Noein (ani-monday on Sci-Fi). But now I'm not so sure. The pictures look nothing alike and they mentioned something about "dragon boys". Well, on Noein there is a "Dragon Torque" ?? I don't know, we'll see if they say anything about it...

-------> I love to write. I have a gazillion journals! Unfortunately, I hardly ever seem to finish them, and I don't always know what to write about. Sometimes I create journals, sometimes quote books, I even have a couple of dream journals, and a book of things I find interesting.

----------> This is Holly, I always seem to take photos of her at interesting moments.

---------> another example.

-------> This is Kathy, another kitty. I have two others and a dog.

A little Theology

This weekend I read an article in Christian Odyssey, a Church of God publication. It's called No Contest: Why the argument over Genesis? This is something I've always been perplexed by - the biblical story of Creation (6 days) vs. scientific evidence to the contrary. This article makes a very good point, which I'm inclined to believe. It says, first, that not everything said in the bible is literal, quite a bit is figurative and/or allegorical. This article says that the Bible set the creation story as it did for several reasons. 1- to set it in terms that the people of the day could understand. 2- to counter the polytheist stories of creation. It's a very interesting article and I suggest reading it. I don't normally show great interest in religious articles, but this one captured my attention and held it all the way through.
