Random post day

I had a lot of random things to post, because I had things I wanted to tell you, but they didn't fit into the theme of any of my other post. So I'm posting a special post just for that collection.

So how's my life?
I avoid posting about my personal life on here, because that's not really what I want my blog to be about. But...hello! I'm feeling especially cheery today. Why, you ask?


Okay, so today I got up and walked downstairs to turn on my computer, because I live on the internet. 

My dad surprised me with a new monitor! 
You see, I've been begging for a new monitor for quite some time now.  This one was a super big, nice, one, that could eat my former monitor for breakfast. 
But wait! There's more!
He installed something I really wanted on my computer, this thing which lets you split your screen between two monitors! Your mouse can move in between them, and work in two windows at once. 

Guess which one is the new one. 
Well actually from this angle, they both look like the could be about the same size, but the one on the right is much bigger in real life.
You can see where the window is split between the two monitors. Cool! I'm still happy about it(tip: if you know someone who lives online, then give her something new to plug into her computer for Christmas.)

Actually, the prime reason I wanted a bigger(not necessarily split-screen) monitor was so I could display this:

This is one of the widest backgrounds I had ever seen, and it definitely wouldn't fit on my small monitor, at least not in its full glory. It works great on this one, though.

Next up: I found the perfect rock song to describe my book. 





This is an AMV for the song. I didn't really watch the video, just listened to the music.

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhel...

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin...

Her Universe

  Before I start, let me just say this. I appreciate what Ashley Eckstein is doing. It's obvious she really cares about and is enthusiastic about her line, and she's using her position to make our days(and wardrobes, apparently) a little more cheerful. However, I don't think Her Universe is the huge movement she expects it to be. The website   talks about how female SW fans have a hard time finding merchandise designed "just for us" and the trials of having to wear either "very girly stuff" or "men's stuff in small sizes."   This post from Club Jade clearly favors and is enthusiastic of Her Universe. Vivenne's comment,(the 6th) says everything more eloquently than I ever could. "However, it’s NOT our turn. We’re NOT getting what they’ve got. I STILL don’t wear Star Wars franchise stuff because there is no way I can afford Her Universe. $30 for a TEE SHIRT? No. No no no. I’ll keep buying the $9.99 shirts for g...
