Today I watched Cloud Atlas. It’s one of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen, and I don’t just mean that it looks good (although it does). If you watch any movie this year, watch it. ~KJT, enjoying her new laptop.
…that the Welsh name for Wales is “Cymru”? And no, I did not know that when I named my country “Cymria” – it’s pure coincidence. I made the word “Cymria” up because I wanted something short, simple, and easy to pronounce. I will admit I briefly considered lying about it being a coincidence to make… {read more}
Today I watched Beautiful Creatures, the movie. It was a lot like Twilight, except that it was much better in just about every way. I can’t comment on how good of an adaptation it was because I haven’t read the books, but I certainly liked the movie. ~KJT, preparing to start book 12 and waiting… {read more}

Today two astonishing things happened. (It’s odd how things tend to happen all at once; I can go for weeks or months without a single really exciting thing happening, and then two of ’em happen on the same day). First, I’m delighted to announce that I’ve just been formally invited to be a guest at… {read more}
This Friday I’m going to Sydney to see my favourite band, Nightwish, live in concert. Yes, of course I’m going to wear my Nightwish t-shirt. Duh! If you’ve never listened to Nightwish before, here’s a link to one of their songs that’s particularly good. I love the violin solo in the middle especially (Side note:… {read more}
