I'll post a note with the movie(s) we're watching, with a link to its writeup on imdb.com so you can read beforehand if the movie is suitable for your kids (which means you can bring them along!)

I'll be sure to post the movie ahead of time, so anyone not local can obtain a copy to watch also. This way, anyone who cannot attend in person can follow along at home.

Then we can discuss like mad on the blog, and use up ALL the available space left on the Internets!!! crazy.

books! omg books!

I don't know which to squee over more: books or shoes!

Thanks for the double-armload of books last night. My poor bookcases are going to bow under the weight, at the rate I'm going! But my brain is going "wheeee.... more stuffs to learn!"

Looking through some of the small vanity-press newsletter/periodicals, I found a yellow post-it sticky saying "This is my stuff; I want credit for it!" signed by Amber K. Kerr confirmed it was her handwriting all right. That was neat to find. Could you imagine this making its way to a public library and someone signing it out to find this sticky? Cool.

And as much as I don't condone book-burning (unless it's tax law from 50 years ago, and it's the Day After Tomorrow and you need a fire), there were a couple gems in there I thought would serve better as kindling than reading material. But hey, if it weren't for some of those not-so-great books paving the way for the improved upgrades, we may not see the better books being published today.

Last week I started to reorganize my bookcases to accommodate a half-dozen new books I had bought recently that didn't yet have homes... and now I have to do it all over again to make room for these new additions.

Could you imagine if my allergies/asthma didn't prevent me from taking in cats as fast as I take in books and shoes?? yikes!

Maeve, Goddess-Queen of Cats

Was it just me, or did anyone else notice that during her Dedication Oath at last night's Arming Maeve's eyes turned green-gold and feline?!?

I couldn't stop staring. And wondering if she has some kind of cat totem...?

Maeve, any thoughts? Inquiring minds are inquiring!
