huzzah and hail!
just finished watching the director’s cut of Kingdom of Heaven. so much more powerful of a story. more characterization, improved storyline, etc. i can see now how the executives force the theatrical release because it was more ‘hollywood’ than this version. apparently they assume american audiences have no capacity for following a storyline […]

things are pretty quiet around here. finally feeling pretty human again. drank some sleepytime tea before bed and slept fairly decently. my mind seems to be wandering around in my worldbuilding project while i sleep. i keep waking up with the lingering sense that i’ve been traveling in my dreams and having grand adventures of […]

a classic French fable character, Reynard is the trickster, the peasant hero. he shows up in Chaucer and is often portrayed in satires aimed toward the clergy and aristocracy. my childhood favorite appearance of him is in the Disney version of Robin Hood.

sometimes i lay in bed before getting up and dream up the ultimate computer network for our house. it involves a computer-run media center, many redundant terabytes backup drives and a big networked laser printer.
what can i say about this book? it's a lovely memoir of julia child's arrival in paris, her journey learning the language and discovering her life's passion in cooking.
the whole story is special to me, having grown up watching her show on television. mrs. child taught me a great many things about cooking (including the fact that mistakes are okay) and her warm, engaging style comes through in the text. i could hear her warbly voice in my head the entire time i was reading.
