This last week has been somewhat frustrating. Started it off well, with good progress in my story, but early on in the week, all kinds of assignments started piling onto me–stuff that I should have seen coming, but have been putting off ’til the last minute (as usual). It didn’t help that I just discovered… Continue reading A slow spot

He remembered me!
Ok, so it’s 1:40 am right now and I have to be up at 7:00, so this is going to be short. Yesterday was the release party for Brandon Sanderson’s newest book, Hero of Ages. I had to go to work from three to four, but while walking through the bookstore on my way there,… Continue reading He remembered me!
Letter to the Daily Universe
My roommate Matt wrote this awesome letter to The Daily Universe last year (scroll down to the heading “Message for Sisters” to read his letter), and garnered some incredibly hilarious responses from the BYU community. He struck a tightly strung chord in this community, something that everyone here at BYU spends a lot of time… Continue reading Letter to the Daily Universe
New job!
This past week I just started a new job at BYU. I’m a writing advisor for the FHSS (Family of Home and Social Sciences) writing lab. It’s GREAT! I help students work on their papers and work on their writing skills, and I really love it. How I got this job is an interesting story. … Continue reading New job!
On My Way to Paradise by Dave Wolverton
Senior Angelo Osic is a doctor in one of the refugee flooded neighborhoods of Panama.

Momo by Michael Ende
[I originally wrote this book review in 2006. However, Momo was such a good book that I wanted to include it here on this blog.] I was browsing around at Pioneer Book in downtown Provo a few weeks ago when I saw this book. Michael Ende wrote The Neverending Story, which was my all-time favorite… Continue reading Momo by Michael Ende
Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke
They came completely unexpected. Hundreds of silver spaceships, hovering above all the capitols and major population centers of the Earth. For nearly a week, as thousands rioted in the streets below, they sat there, waiting. And then came the voice of Karellen, chief of the overlords, viceroy of Earth, heralding a new, planet-wide administration that… Continue reading Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
Lyra is a young girl who lives in Jordan college, Oxford university, with her daemon–a shapeshifting, talking animal companion that is as much a part of her as her growing, changing personality. She is perfectly content to stay at the university forever, exploring and playing games with the local children and their daemons. All of… Continue reading The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
Megaman DDR!
This makes me happy. It’s 2:30 am. My work here is finished.
cool idea for nanowrimo
Now that I’m gone in the Middle East, the Quark writing group has to find its way without me at the helm. So far (as far as I know) it’s been going really well, with Travis moderating the online meetings–from what I’ve seen, we’ve even got a few new people coming out, which will be… Continue reading cool idea for nanowrimo
