A couple of my favorite books...

I don't know how many of you out there read fantasy... I'm speaking of J.R. Tolkien kind of fantasy?  Well, a couple years ago I found a book called "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini ~ this young man was 15 years old when he started writing "Eragon" and in my humble opinion is a great book :)  Granted, bits and pieces of it does sound Lord of the Ring'ish... but it's great and I recommend reading it for all of you that are interested in that genre' of book.

                                             

When I read the book the first time, I remember thinking this is going to become quite a popular series & maybe a movie in the future...was I right?  yes.  Definitely right and the author quite deserves it, the notice that it brings.  I have a link in my favorite sites to the left of my journal that will take you there if you'd like to check it out.  He came out with another book after that, called "Eldest" which was just AS good, I think... I believe it will be a trilogy somewhere along the line, I'm waiting for the movie to come out of DVD so I can rent it and watch it... going to the movies these days is just WAY too expensive, even the early shows & then by the time you add popcorn etc. it's astronomical.

                                                                 I was also remembering a movie that came out in 1982 called "The Dark Crystal" that was a great movie and I've never forgotten it..came in the same line as "The Lambrynth" (spelling?) with David Bowie in it.  Just fantastic stuff... I miss those movies.

Anyway, on with what is going on now... been working on getting everything switched over from the previous screen name and journal... been adding my graphics, journal links and favorite site links to the journal also... took awhile LOL  mainly because with the other journal, I had added the links over time, this time it was doing it all at once...didn't realize I had that many.  Needless to say, my brain is pooped... I will be getting around to everyone's journals tomorrow hopefully... I miss ya'll... but, tonight should be a very interesting night here (wiggling eyebrows) if ya know what I mean (wyked wink) plus a additional (wink, wink).  LOL.  I'm being silly..it's raining, sleeting and generally freezing my tush off. 

Oh, by the way...the babies (Lares and Draco) are growing like weeds, they are 8 weeks old today...they already know how to sit, how to stay, how to go to the door to go potty (yes, there are still accidents occasionally) isn't that amazing??  damn they are smart dogs... Lares eyes will stay bright blue but I think Draco's will be more of a dark gray rather than a dark blue... no matter, they are wonderful babies.  The cats?  well, Heathen is bein' a butthead at the moment, he's supposed to be eating the special food for the control of his Diabetes?  he keeps sneeking and eating Kizmet's food... I'm running out of places to hide it (Kizmet's food).  Heathen get's along great with the puppies... Kizmet is still "feeling them out".  Okay, I'm gone.  I hope everyone is doing well... I miss ya'll (did I mention that???).  Hugz, Teresa
