W00t! My first journal entry! Anyway, I shall soon be putting some more art on here. I just have to get my lazy self down to the library to use the scanner.

In a completely unrelated note. Today is Benji's 11th birthday! My puppy is getting to be an old man! It's so weird because I remember when we first brought him home. I was eight years old. Weird.

Books and movies:

Harry Potter: OMG. Enough said.

The Golden Compass: They are making a movie!

I'm rereading the trilogy of books it is in for the occasion. The only thing that bothers me is that, from what I've heard, they are removing all references to religion. Since organized religion is a central theme in the books I am unsure as to how this is going to work. That said, I am looking forward to rediscovering the series. Last time I read them, lots of metaphors and references went *woosh* over my head. I've read somewhere that the books are a reworking of "Paradise Lost" and that seems to make sense so far.

Inkspell: Finally got my hands on the sequel to "Inkheart." Huzzah!

So, yes, I'm having a great end of the summer and I hope you are too!
