That must have been very cool! I wasn't in the totality zone. I bought eclipse glasses (official ones from a planetarium so I knew they were legit) and watched what we did have, and it was neat. It won't happen again in North American until 2044, so I thought I might as well check it out and enjoy i...

I recently listened through The Green Ring Conspiracy album and really enjoyed it! There were a lot of things I remembered and a few things that I forgot until they were about to happen. One thing I totally remember is where I was when I first heard this album and had the reveal about Jason! I can s...

Wow, top 4% in the world? That's crazy. I hope that remains right until the end.

Well, it's funny, because while I don't think this particular aspect of Paul's decision making is supposed to necessarily be one of the 'red flags' (though I'm not saying it's wrong for you to feel that way, it's just not one of the points I think the author intended to be an overly glaring issue),...

That sounds like a textbook case for how to create a lot of miserable people. I can't help but think of how multiple wives and concubines worked out for Jacob in the biblical record. While I can see how it may be accepted by characters as part of the way their world of power works, I still can't fin...

Thanks guys, that's quite helpful! I get the idea of marrying for power and influence in that kind of situation (you know, hypothetically, not for realsies). ;) I can see how with so much source material, not everything can make it in. I did see Dune 2 in theatres Sunday evening. It was quite good, ...

The idea that we are one year away from our twentieth anniversary is so amazing. Wow that is actually crazy :o It makes me feel very old! I can still so clearly picture the excitement as I waited to find out what Shadowpaw's big April 1 announcement would be and where I was when I signed up. The th...

Boooo!! Shut The Top Crusader down!

Everyone, I am pleased to announce that the ToO has officially turned nineteen! \:D/ The idea that we are one year away from our twentieth anniversary is so amazing. I know we have much less activity now. That doesn't change the special place that the ToO holds in my heart and in my memories, and it...

Wow, that's very high praise! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. I heard on the radio that part two has an actual ending and that the hoped-for part three will start a new story. Was that your impression too, bookworm? BUMP: I have now officially seen part one and will be seeing part two in theatres t...

Maybe your lack of answering the question from three years ago made people avoid the topic? ;) What is your favourite smiley and why? okay this time it only took me a few months, so i'm getting better :noway: on the ToO, it's \:D/ but since i rarely use this anymore, on texting i usually using the ...

I'm not familiar with that author, Laurie. I hope you enjoy it! I'm starting "A Castaway in Cornwall" by Julie Klassen. I love her books and got behind on reading her new books. I buy them as they are released and then fall into the trap of saving them for the perfect time because I know t...

I just got done reading God Gave Rock and Roll to You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music . I have to say having a Dad who worked in Christian radio most of the information in this book was not new to me, however it interesting to how the effects of the industry have been and still continue ...

I think it would have been more interesting if I was invested in any of the characters, which I'm not really. There was a bit of an interesting story and mystery, and it definitely sounds like there will be more to come. It wasn't bad, just not characters that I really care about or like that much. ...

That sounds amazing! I love Peter Rabbit. Enjoy the special birthday celebration, and share a picture of the cake if you think of it.

Love the gif tradition continuing, bookworm! So close to actually being a Friday Pi Day. Haha, one day! Laura, when I saw you posted I was prepared to wish I had been with you to enjoy a variety of homemade pie, so maybe I feel better now? ;) You'll have to save your energy for another day. Star Wa...

That sounds interesting, Laurie! I'm reading "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. I've been meaning to read it for years, and I was especially curious when I realized the AIO episode "Tuesdays with Wooton" was obviously named after that book. It's very good so far. I would defi...
