Well, since I haven't posted an update in a while, I thought I would.
I've put off editing my story for long enough (I've already formatted it and made a cover so there's nothing else I *can* do...). For my first run-through I'm on page 28/160 (these are 5.25x8 size, so don't freak out... it's not that long).
Apparently there's going to be a sequel to Hunger Games, which I am still planning to read... Yeah. It's on my list... somewhere. It's just, I get so many free books, when I actually have to buy one now, it's a little depressing.
I'm in the middle of The Otherworldlies, so there should be a review of that up soon. :)
I'm also in the middle of re-reading The Riddle, and soon I'll get The Crow back from my sister so I'll be all caught up for the release of the final installment of the Pellinor series... The Singing! Which I, of course, have a preorder of. *flaunts pre-order paper* Muahah.
So what's that about Wuthering Heights? Well, PBS is putting on an excellent version of it. The first episode (hour 1/2; there's only going to be two episodes) aired the 19th, but if you missed it you can watch it here. I really suggest watching it because it is excellently done, not at all cheesy, and way, way, WAY better than the other Wuthering Heights Movie. It even makes the book seem better.
The second half airs the 25th on PBS (at 7? or 9? or something...)
But watch it. It's worth it.
If you don't like it, you can always turn it off :)
Oh, but you may have to skip through two scenes, but you can do that easily using the little bar at the bottom; just click ahead and *poof*!
I also know the plot for my '09 nano, which I can't give away, but it's going to be hard-core fantasy, so get ready :D
On a random note... guitar's coming pretty well. I know my first scale and like two chords. Can't really play a "song" (a real song) yet, but maybe I'll get there. I'm entering a flute competition in March :)
Aaaand I have a couple books in the mail coming to be; but I'll tell you about those when I get them :)
My few alltime favorite drink: cranberry juice. I'm addicted to it. You should try it.

Oh where have the reviews gone?
So, life's been pretty busy for me :)
I've added a little NaNo widget on the sidebar, so you guys can see how dreadfully behind I am... But my book is coming okay. Seeing as I'm not allowed as much time on the computer because *certain people* think I'm spending "too much time" its hard to write as much as I need to.
SO, I haven't been blogging as frequently as a result :(
AND, I'm wayyy behind on reviewing Gabaldon Sisters. I may not end up posting my review here anyway, because I've been doing so many depressing reviews lately, haha. Maybe I should review another Clare Bell book :)
Well Traci has let me borrow Brisingr, so I finally get to read that after I finish Gabaldon, if I ever finish it.
Anyway, drama's going great, and I took a spontaneous trip up to DC to see the holocaust museum on Wednesday which was amazing and very eye-opening. I'll probably do a post about it later when I get my pictures fixed up and not like 13 miles big.
So I'm still alive, yes, and still reading and writing. Pray for me and my writing, because I'm near 5k words behind (which is a LOT incase you don't understand...)
Lets end on a positive note: I did win a flute contest and got to play in a winner's recital with a spectacular pianist. :) I also got to watch a workshop with floutist Ian Clarke who was amazing (and had a British accent.. a plus for me).
Hope you all are doing well, and a shout out to those doing NaNo: Good Luck! Hope you're doing better than me!
