Ever since I heard that The Dark Is Rising was going to be made into a movie, I was of course pins and needles with excitement. Then a few weeks ago one of my friends mentioned that she'd wanted to go see it, but it had only been in ...
From Yahoo News:
NEW YORK -- Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have reached agreement to make J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," a planned prequel to the blockbuster trilogy "The Lord of the Rings."
Jackson, who directed the "Rings" trilogy, will serve as executive producer for "The Hobbit." A director for the ...
Looks like I get an early peek at PBS's Christmas present to me: Masterpiece Theatre is broadcasting all six Jane Austen novels (Emma, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility) starting January 13. Mmm. :) And if that wasn't enough, they're also ...
It's snowing. A lot. And I'm tucked up somewhat cozily on the fifth floor of the library, pecking away on this post as I do my darndest to avoid working on my final for my reference class. The guy next to me has a tinny "Deck the ...

So this is what 3 a.m. looks like? It's been many, many years since I was up this late. I just got back from the midnight showing of Harry Potter 5: Order of the Phoenix, and I'm amazed to report that I managed to stay awake for 99% ...

"For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth." --Moses 3:5
