Finally!

By this time tomorrow I will hopefully be in Prague, Czech Republic.  I guess I still don't want to get too excited.  I will be putting up pictures of the legendary Sunbear and keeping a journal of his adventures (and mine as well).  Can't wait until we get there!

Going to Europe on Thursday!!!

I love trying not to get excited about stuff.  I guess I just have so much going on right now that I don't really have time to think about things that are going to happen.  I like that.  Because if I get excited, I get REALLy excited.  Well, I'm just about packing and making final preparations.  Look for pictures in the next week with the star, SUNBEAR!!!  I still need to get him though...

Streak of Procrastination VANQUISHED!!!

As I said I would, despite the not so good weather, I took pictures today!  And, in a rare show of nonprocrastinativity, I've uploaded them to the computer!  And will even post them here right now!  The same day!

Hopefully more forthcoming.  Enjoy!

Taking Pictures

I really need to stop procrastinating.  But it is SO much FUN!!!  Anyway,  the trees and flowers have started to bloom and they look very nice and I need to go out and take pictures, but I am far too lazy to do this.  So I think I will do it tomorrow.  Take a good walk and take a lot of pictures.  Which I will then post on this site.  What a good plan!  Except I procrastinated too much last year and the flowers started turning brown and icky.  Let's hope that doesn't happen tomorrow, I really need to get outside!

Fantasy

The best fantasy writers must be completely immersed in the world that they create.  They must be able to live and breath it whenever they are writing.  Only then will their world make sense and not have huge jumps in plot and details.  The fantasy writer must become like an actor, placing themselves in their world that they and only they can understand.  The best actor becomes that which they portray.  As the fantasy writer must live in their world in order to portray it accurately.  You can tell when a fantasy writer has worked well on their tale: when the reader understands exactly what happened and why.  And no huge surprises.  You cannot invent methods at the end of the story.  That is an author just trying to bring closure incompletely.  It doesn't work because it doesn't make sense.  And that is not cool, not matter what.

Spring is almost sort of here!

The bulbs outside my house are getting ready to bloom!  I hope they don't flower when I'm in Europe.  That would be disappointing.  I hope they come up when I'm here, then I can get some AWESOME pictures.  I'm very excited for this...

Doing Nothing

I enjoy not having to do anything, just being there, doing there, having a there moment.  When you don't have to be anywhere, do anything, say anything.  And that happens so little in our society because of time.  The thing that tells you what to do even if you don't care.  You must sleep.  You must wake up.  Always moving, talking, doing.  No stop.  Sometime...

The quiet place

I enjoy quiet places when they are not usually quiet.  The large hall where people bustle around and there is general chaos that is silent.  I like to jump around and make a fool out of myself and just not care what is going on, just being there.  I guess it is sort of parallel to the silent party in the high level government building in Saga by Conor Kostick where everyone plays music on their headphones and dances with no sound.  That kind of thing.  Sort of thumbing your nose at everybody.

Festival is over

Just came back from a chorus festival.  SOOO tired!  It was alright I suppose.  I always enjoy the German songs.  They just seem so much fun for me.  What I don't get is why people like the stereotypical big man bass sound.  And everybody can do it.  If I wanted to, I could do it.  It is just so much more aurally pleasing to have that lighter more mobile sound.  It doesn't work if you want to do fast long runs or stuff that is more technical.  I just don't get it sometimes.

Talking is an inefficient way to communicate

People can't listen to each other.  They don't listen or don't care about what other people are saying or just can't comprehend it.  What is more efficient?  Not sure.  Can we speed up the speed of thought?  How fast do you think?  How fast is fast?  Can you change the speed of thought?  This is something I could get into I think.

William Faulkner

Over the summer I had tried to read The Sound and the Fury.  But I just couldn't get past the first 2 pages.  I got way too bored.  Too many words on the page that are uninteresting!  I hate when I get books like that.  I really want to read them, but I just can't.  So now I had to read A Rose for Emily as part of a class.  Still boring, but since I had to read it...sure.  It wasn't too too bad on the boring scale, since it was a short story the action had to go sort of fast.  The secret to her insanity was a pretty cool reveal at the end.  As a story it wasn't too bad.  I guess a 7 out of 10 for eloquence and an intriquite plot.

Snow Pictures

Here are the pictures of snow that I promised earlier but was too lazy to upload to my computer. :)
