This was a few weeks ago. I forgot to post it.
So, yeah, I pulled an all nighter and finished Harry Potter 7. Mostly because some ill-timing meant that I got to read two chapters in the afternoon and then settled in to read the rest after 8.

Hey guys, I got a permanent account! I debated over it, asked Frank, and he said go ahead, so here I am! And only 4 days shy of SEVEN YEARS ON EL JAY!
(oh, and if you buy, donate to Witness! It's Peter Gabriel founded and Meaghan approved!)
I haven't been posting much public stuff. Pretty much everything has been private because I never quite finished the entries - we went on a two week vacation, I've been doing fabulously, garden is phenomenal, husband is extra adorable, etc.
But here are some fun things I'm sharing:
Frank playing hockey on YOUTUBE. Yes, I finally posted something there. And of course, I set it to the overture from Barber of Seville. An acapella version.
( Big drawing under cut: )
Um, and I went to see a Rugby game tonight between the Ottawa Harlequins and the NB Black Spruce (which is a way cool team name). It was gorgeous outside, though raining off and on. We got two rainbows at one point, one complete that we could see both ends of - one end was directly on a house, in fact. We really should have raided it, but there was rugby to watch!

Weds just told me Jerry Falwell died, so yes, before everyone else does it - my Jerry Falwell reaction:
I went to college in Lynchburg, but only ran into the guy once. We were in the midst of reviving the Greek Play and were in the dining hall in costume. I can't remember if we were doing promotion or just goofing around after rehearsal. For whatever reason, I was in full Antigone dress, which included a white mask and really curly black hair (doll's hair, I think) and at some point during a night rehearsal in the cold, I'd worn gloves and then loaned one glove for someone else to have at least one warm hand and suddenly I was Michael Jackson.
So a bunch of us were up there when Falwell showed up, presumably because we had the best college dining hall in the country. As mature women at college, we decided to do something really childish, like run around and yell in greek. Since we were in masks.
So I tend to think happy thoughts about Falwell, because he makes me think of all my girls (and Lynchburg wasn't awful, though I do describe it still as a "two wal-mart town".) That plus Via had a Tinky Winky doll and I'm pretty sure she was the one who told me that he had a collection of them because so many people had given them to him. Yeah, all my recollections are humorous. If you don't do something funny in your life, I will not remember you!
Hey, I already have a "dead guys" tag!
EDIT: LOL, best response so far:
I believe his death was a punishment from God for failing to stop the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and lesbians.

I see no reason why grass can't be a house plant!
Now that the last of the snow is really, truly gone and it's in the 20's for the most part, I'm really, really, really in the gardening mood. I'd already been planting seeds inside, but now I've been tidying outside and making beds for tomatoes and whatnot, clearing away junk. In the front yard, there was a lot of snow-hidden litter to clean up.
Daffydills are blooming already and the tulips are really ready to go as well. Hooray, it's going to be pretty outside again!

So you guys are just now getting to see Drive? Do so. Frank and I (and, in fact, the entire house) are hooked. It's like Firefly in a truck in a race. No, it's totally not, but I'd watch that too.
I am completely sick of my drawing right now. I'm pretty sure it's this half-start spring regressing back into winter weather that's got me down, but I'm just randomly depressed and I really can't do a single line that I don't think is horrible. And I have stuff I need to draw. I've been working through it, but I hate it.
Frank and I saw Blades of Glory and it was very funny. If it hadn't been raining it would have cheered me up for sure. Cursed SADS.
Um, Thrashers lost both home games, but they're not out by any means. We really did so much better our second game and really only lost by a fluke goal. Moose was so hot last night, too. Our D shut down the rangers, too, for the most part. We just didn't put the shots in like we did the first game. There's gotta be a way to balance it out. Hartley will figure it out.

I'm really sorry, but everything is hockey.
We missed LOST last night because we were of course watching day of playoffs and having a Frank birthday thing.
Leafs are out of the playoffs, and it's all NJ's fault. OK, it's their own faults.
Time to get a Kari Lehtonen icon, I guess!
EDIT - didn't find a good Kari pic yet, but now I've got a Kozlov and Hossa one! WOOO!

Sorry, I really shouldn't be posting while on my third of these. It's a black and tan with Guinness and Keith's, so pretty much the quintessential Frankenmegs beer.
