@seekjustice Yup, that’s the one.  The space shuttle is really cool too.  Here are a few pictures I took last time we went (sorry I’m not a great photographer 😉 ):

Haha.  Bald eagles are cool, but even if you think they’re funny, just consider the fact that our national bird might have been the turkey.  I think the bald eagle is much bet…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, it’s called the Air and Space Museum.  That one is really cool!!  I’ve been there several times.  I think you’d like it a lot.

Oh yes, now I remember.  I’ve heard them called pouches.

Haha. 😛  Are there any American animals that Australians think are cool? 😉

I’m liking The Secret Garden so far. 😀 What’s your favorite song from it?

@seekjustice There are several Smithsonians.  Is there one you’re particularly interested in visiting, or do you just want to go to all of them because they’re cool, free museums? 😉  I don’t think I’ve been to all of them.

Okay, I’m trying to find the Secret Garden soundtrack, then I’ll get to your questionnaire.

Hm, that’s interesting. 😛  Wh…[Read more]

@seekjustice No, we’re actually moving just a tiny bit closer to DC. 😀  Why the Smithsonian, particularly?

Oh, now I actually have a chance to look that up!  Give me a bit and I’ll listen to a few songs. Have you finished the book yet?

Thanks. 🙂  You should already have my comments in the document, right?  I just have to answer the general que…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’d love to join you! 😀

Unfortunately, I can’t stay up really late tonight because we’re moving tomorrow morning so I’ve got to get up early.  But I’ll probably be awake for another hour or two.  What are you listening to?

(Oh, and I realized today that you already finished September, but it’s still September here, so…I forgot t…[Read more]

@seekjustice Aw, yes!  But maybe I’ll come visit you in Australia and I’ll get to take pictures of kangaroos myself.  That would be cool too. 😉

It’s 2:00 a.m. here.  I think I’d better get some rest. 😀  Goodnight.

@seekjustice @catwing should take vanishing lessons from me. 😛 Sorry about that!  I’m back for a very short bit.

The thing is, a voice is intangible, so…how could it be disemboweled? 😛

Oh…sorry about that.  I’ll work on it a bit tonight and in my spare time.  Not annoying at all, please keep reminding me!  If I don’t do a thing as soon…[Read more]

@seekjustice Great!  I had a really fun laugh today over reading someone describing a voice coming over a speaker system as “disemboweled” instead of “disembodied.” 😉

How about you?

@seekjustice Are you here tonight?

@seekjustice Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport is very funny. 😀  (I just looked it up)  I think I shall learn it and teach it to my little sisters.

Oh, I’ve heard the Baby Bumblebee song!  My mom wouldn’t let us sing it when we were little because she thought it was disgusting. 😛  To be honest, I have to agree with her.

I’d better get some sleep, so…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, the lyric I just heard!!

“That’s why the people are revolting, ’cause Louie, you’re pretty revolting yourself!” (parody song about the French Revolution.)

That’s why I asked if you’d heard of Camp Granada, because I’ve been cracking up over a whole bunch of silly songs written and sung by the same guy who wrote that one. 😉

@seekjustice Aw, too bad.  Well, what silly kids songs do you sing in Australia?  I’m guessing you don’t sing Yankee Doodle and Oh Susanna, 😉 but I wonder if there are any I’d know besides the Kookaburra song.

@seekjustice Ah, yes.  🙁

Haha, I had a lot of fun (and admittedly a deal of annoyance) learning to type with my right hand when I had poison ivy on my left hand.  I found I could type nearly exactly half as fast as with both hands.  Which…makes sense… 😛

Have you ever heard the silly kids song Camp Granada?

@seekjustice I’m sorry…um…what does RSI stand for?  I’m assuming it has something to do with your strained arm a little while back?

I’m not planning on trying NaNo because I failed so miserably at Camp Nano the last couple times. 😛  I’m not a very fast or consistent writer, and I know I won’t be able to get the full word count of, what, 5…[Read more]

@seekjustice Are you here tonight/this afternoon?

@dekreel Sorry, I disappeared, and am about to disappear again.  But I was watching YouTube documentaries about different ways visual effects and clothing and acting styles are used in films and excusing it by saying I could use it to improve my writing.  I love the fact that nearly everything I do can be listed under “research.”

@dekreel Hi!  How are you?

@seekjustice I have!  I like Treasures of the Snow and Twice Freed.  Which ones are your favorites?

I don’t know if they’re meant to be parodies or just references, but each book does seem to have a themed connection to some big well-known tale.  I’ve never read the Lord of the Rings books, so I wouldn’t have recognized that one.  There were a c…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I believe they’re aimed toward younger kids.  They’re not amazing, but they’re cute.  The Seven Sleepers series is really confusing and badly organized, but makes more sense once you notice that each book is a parody of some legend or famous story, including Narnia, Atlantis, Star Trek, and others.

My favorite part of R…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, Edith Nesbit wrote mostly fantasy, right?  So, no. 😉  My little sister has a series about a blue and yellow striped dragon.  I don’t remember what it’s called, but I think it’s pretty well known.  The other fantasy series I’ve read are the Kingdom Series by Chuck Black, Seven Sleepers by Gilbert Morris, and the Terrestria Chr…[Read more]
