Anne of Scary PEI

So, I've decided to participate in this here Anne of Green Gables reading challengey thinger.

Because I started reading the first book when I was young, with my grandma, and we didn't ever finish it, and I don't see much chance of us finishing it now, considering sometimes she barely remembers who her daughter is (my mother), let alone anyone else.

So, in honour of the great woman who got me interested in the great tales of Anne, I'm going to go with...

Option 3:

Anne of Green Gables
Anne of Avonlea
Anne of the Island
Anne of Windy Poplars/Windy Willows
Anne’s House of Dreams
Anne of Ingleside
Rainbow Valley
Rilla of Ingleside

Chronicles of Avonlea – L.M. Montgomery
Further Chronicles of Avonlea – L.M. Montgomery
Before Green Gables – Budge Wilson
Looking for Anne of Green Gables: The Story of L.M. Montgomery and her Literary Classic – Irene Gammel
any of the several Anne TV/movie adaption's

So, it's going to be quite a year. I suppose I should really get started. Those of you with LJs can follow this either here, or at http://xenontetroxide.livejournal.com, as I'll be posting my thoughts as I read in both places.

Yay!

Millions of pancakes, pancakes for me...

It's 02:49 on a Tuesday, the regular crowd shuffles in. There's an old man, sitting next to me, possibly whose name is Jim.

Okay, not really. But when you consider that I could instead have We Didn't Start The Fire in my head instead, you really take any other Billy Joel song you can get, however mangled I've just made it. Those being the two I can remember offhand.

It's probably time to go to sleep. It was probably time to go to sleep 4 hours ago, but a witty combination of coffee, knee pain, and Ruy's godawful snoring has kept me awake.

For approximately 10 or so minutes, I truly considered starting a new blog, but then realized that I didn't have anything necessarily different to say in it, that I wasn't going to say here. You know, eventually.

Sadly, however, all the funny I was going to put in this post has just dried up like so much grape left on a radiator, so I'll just badly attempt to redirect my Twitters here. Warning: I think you may have missed about a year's worth.
