It's a BIRTHDAY kind of day!

[in_the_blue]

2, 2, 2 friends in one.

Happy birthday, livii!!!

Happy birthday, permanent account holder muffinbutt!!!

May the both of you:

1. Not mind the shared post;


2. Have a day and a year and a lifetime filled with happiness and wonderment;


3. Stop thinking "only ex-technical writers would do a birthday post in the form of a numbered list!"


4. Get all the presents you want;


5. Play happily in your fandoms;


6. and (because my inner massage therapist demands it) move toward a state of balance and joy.

Now that that's stated, back to our regularly scheduled program

I have some thoughts on Cowboy Bebop. Some character-development type things. Will ponder those under a cut in a different post, because there are other things that want out right now. Like... IT'S ALMOST SUMMER BREAK! I get to relive that joyful feeling through my daughter's eyes, and that's far too much fun! and... OMGWTF11111, not_that_spike is having way too much fun on milliways_bar with stbethadettes this week! Go, read his journal if you have a hankering basically for another session. And... no, Dogstar still isn't fixed. I feel for myself. And for all of our players over there. *sob* And... we finally have nice sunshiny low-70s dry summer weather! and... wickedtrue, I love the new family members, they're so much fun! and... what is it, 37 days till Half-Pint Prince? Heh, yes, that was intentional. I wonder if I'll read it all in a day like last time. Probably, probably.

And... I did one of my favorite things this morning: had coffee with mme_publisher who is, by the way, ultimately one of the best people I know.

And... yes, we're one of the lucky cities that gets Howl's Moving Castle tomorrow. *beams, makes plans for Saturday*

Hey! I think that's about it! More later.

Thank you so much! :-*

Thanks, hon! Lovely wishes, I really appreciate that.

FYI...

My sister says she's interested in joining Dogstar when she turns 13 in August. I haven't told her about the problem with the board, though o_O

Re: FYI...

Anyone can apply.

It doesn't mean they'll be accepted, though. I'm being picky. For instance, well... I'll tell you about some recent developments privately. Not here. Remind me.

Re: FYI...

[h311ybean]

Yeah, I told her there's an application process, acceptance not guaranteed, and talked about how it's a place for writers to practice and stuff.

Interesting developments you say? *strokes chin thoughtfully*

I don't plan on seeing the movie, but did you read the book? DWJ, really has a talent for writing weird, but excellent books. :)

And in it's sequel, you don't realise that it's a sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, till close towards the end of the book.

Hannah and I are reading it now. We won't finish it by Saturday, but that's okay.

[gryfny.livejournal.com]

From what Gilraen said on the DWJ thread in the Book Forum, she said that it's very diffrent than the movie, so your right it shouldn't be a problem.

Are you both enjoying the book?

[in-the-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. She's a good writer. I always finish read books even if they make good movies out of them when I'm partway through. :)
