Hmm… I’d give it an 8/10. The book was much, much better. Helen Mirren was Elinor, but her role was too small. I really enjoyed the first half of the movie, but the middle was bad and the end was a bit lacking. Brendan Fraser did a fine job, but I just can’t see him [...]

Live Green like Jane

I’ve recently become more interested in a former passion of mine; the chimpanzee research conducted by Jane Goodall. I was devastated to hear the my favorite Gombe chimp, Gaia, lost her twin baby chimps. Also, I want to tread lightly on this earth and not inflict pain upon others. By this, I mean that I [...]

Yep! I no longer have braces on my teeth. I am extremely happy. No more sore mouths and ripped up gums! Yippee. And Caramel… oh caramel. I have always loved and always will love caramel.

I really need to gather my thoughts. One of my most influential teachers passed away this Sunday, and I just learned today. She read my writing, and just meant so much to me. I can’t believe she’s gone… and so young, too. I guess it wasn’t unexpected. I had heard from another teacher that I [...]
