Jack Torrance thought: Officious little pricks. That was why they took the bells off the goats, bells that the Arabs had swapped them for macaws, and put them at the entrance to town at the disposal of those who would not listen to the advice and entreaties of the sentinels and insisted on visiting the town. She had slept, then - was it possible - it must be eight or nine o'clock already! I certainly did not know English in those days (Paola told me I had learned it only as an adult) but luckily there were also many translations. Will you tell us about the other worlds out among the stars - the other kinds of men, the other lives?

Cleaned out my icons a bit and uploaded a new one...not that it was that big of a deal considering that I only have 6 icons here, sob. I think I shall have to upgrade to Plus soon, even though the ads make my LJ look fugly, 'cause I'm not ready to shell out the cash for a Paid Account here yet.

I'm also thinking of putting up some anime reviews (the term used loosely) here soon. I wrote them up in another journal, but I'll clean them up for perusal here and make them look all o-fish-ul and schnazz. :D
