anastasia

Saw Anastasia, loved it. I like the main character more than any of the other animated fairy tales/stories, in fact. Anastasia's spunky. :-) Sorry for the lack of blathering lately. Have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to get stuff done. Hey, UT programming has been semi-confirmed for Confusion!

sea monkey babies

My Sea Monkeys ® have hatched! There seem to be at least a dozen tiny white dots swimming around in the water now, though Jeff claims not to be able to see them yet. Feel free to suggest names. Allison has finished her Winnipeg report! I'll post it later this week once I've HTMLized it. Site of the Day: The Reluctant Gourmet.

sigmund

Sea Monkeys ® are thriving. Thanks for the name suggestions! I have picked out a few special Sea Monkeys in the container and christened them: Sigmund, Arthur Curry, Lettuce, Sqibny, He Who Must Be Ignored, Abdul The Destroyer, Delusions of Vertebrae, Fenton, Hugh, Bob, Frankly I'd
Rather Be In Paris Sipping Curacao (Frank, for short), Too-Small-To-Be-Curious George, Emily. Thanks to Paul Kwinn, Scott Snyder, and Allison for helping to name my Sea Monkeys ®. Sent out Inklings on Wednesday; current issue contains an interview with Julia Ecklar. Had a good practice last night, worked on Second Concerto prep. Allison's Winnipeg report is online! Check it out. Photos added eventually. Also, check out a UT bio written by Rand & Paul. Site of the Day:

winnipeg report

Added photos to Allison's Winnipeg Report, enhanced Paul Kwinn's webpage. Went to Bakka yesterday (best sf bookstore in Toronto) and bought a few books. I've almost finished one of them already (started reading it, couldn't put it down): Nancy Baker's The Terrible Beauty.
