A Very General What's Going On
Well, Study Week is officially over. So I thought I would just do a quick update on how things are going (and also to hopefully remind myself of a few upcoming deadlines).
Over Study Week, I had very little I had to do. I had one book that I needed to read for school (Bridget Jones's Diary) and a project to start planning. Other than that, I was pretty free to do a bit of fun reading. I didn't take as much advantage of that as I would have liked to, but I got through about three fun books (see The List for details). Of course, I also had a grand old time wandering through bookstores, so the List has a few more titles on it now. I also picked up a few fun books, like Kittens in the Sun which is a book full of kitten pictures.
As for writing, I didn't do a whole lot until near the end of Study Week. I wrote the new Spacelord early, and had a lot of fun with the post. I also revised a story which I am planning on submitting to the LU Lit Mag sometime before midnight tonight (I'm going to look over it again before submitting it). And then I found out about a writing contest that is open for English majors at LU, so I need to come up with something before March 2.
I also got to see a few movies that I really wanted to see. Last Thursday I saw Gran Torino, the new Clint Eastwood movie. It was a really good movie; I laughed a lot throughout it. Then this Saturday night, I saw Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. It was alright. Better than the second Underworld movie (Evolution). Finally, I saw Slumdog Millionaire. I absolutely loved the music! It was a really good story.
And on Friday, I fit in a quick trip to Kakabeka where I took some nice pics of the Falls. It was a great drive on a beautiful afternoon. Check out my flickr page to see my Falls pics!
So that was my Study Week. It was a nice break, although not long enough (I would've like to have fit in a few more novels that were better than Bridget Jones).

Happy Valentine's Day and New OUTSaga Stories!
Happy Belated Valentine's to everyone!
Yesterday, I went over to a friend's house, where we had a Ham party. While there, we played four rounds of Once Upon a Time. I managed to tape most of them with my camera, and when I ran out of memory on my card (eventually I'm going to have to get a handheld recorder, but this seems to work for now), I wrote the last one and a half down. Today, I watched the videos and transcribed the stories. (Listening to the original stories was fun! That game is amazing!) So now all four of the new stories are now up on the Once Upon a Time blog, OUTSaga. As usual, they're hilarious!
