"The road is now calling, and I must away…"

Like Naomi just mentioned in one of her posts, I miss you guys!  Logically, I know I've been able to blog at a more reasonable, healthy (probably) pace, but I just feel like I never get to post or comment!  Sigh.  Oh, the woes of the school year;)  

Anyway, I just had to let you all know that for the next week or so, I'll be even more absent.  I'm going on a road trip with my parents and my younger brother, so…yeah.  

It's a cool location, though;)

Let's just say Sarah Whitting would be proud *wink wink*

    I know. Oh, the woes of the school year. :-D The road trip sounds fun, though. :-)

    By the way, I just finished Loorna Doone!!!! OH MY GOODNESS THE ENDING THOUGH. I REALLY THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD AND THEN I WAS LIKE, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHE ISN'T" AND I BASICALLY DIED.

    *Ahem*
    *calms down*

    Okay - the movie is good, although I have to say FAR too much fighting and long hair for me. I personally prefer 'calm-er' movies. :-D But it was really exciting and WOW THE ENDING.
    And I LOATHE CARVER ETERNALLY.

    "The woes of the school year." My life, basically. Hehe. College.

    No, I really do enjoy it--but it's a LOT sometimes. Especially when I get sick right in the middle of everything but I still have a bunch of homework that I just can't skip. Ugh.

    Have a great time! I LOVE road trips so much. They're just some of the best times for "bonding" with the other members of your family, ya know what I mean? You can talk . . . and listen to music . . . and argue over which roadside restaurant to stop at . . . yeah. Good times. :)

    Speaking of which, I was just curious--are you one of the younger siblings in your family? Because I know you've mentioned older siblings several times, but fewer younger ones. I just wondered because I'm the second-oldest in my family--I have one older brother and six younger siblings. (So I don't know anything about what it's like to be the youngest or next-to-youngest. Haha.)

    I will miss you :(

    But putting that ASIDE -- *glares at stubborn self* --

    Have a good trip, Olivia! Road trips are always fun. And my awesome dad loves to take us on them several times a year so I know all the fun you will have :)

    Yes, I've definitely noticed a difference--since school began--in how often we're all able to post and comment and such. You're right, it probably is a healthier pace, but still it can be rather frustrating when you feel like you don't have enough time to keep up with everything. :/

    I hope you have a delightful trip! It's so nice to be able to get away and have a fun, relaxing time with your family! Enjoy it! I'll be looking forward to your return! :D

    Thank you so much for your comments, everybody! Y'all are the best:D

    Naomi, SQUUUUUUUEEEEE I KNOW RIGHT. Is that ending not like WHHHAAAAAAAT?!?!?! I seriously thought she was dead the first time too. *takes deep breath* Just wow.

    Natalie, no, that picture doesn't have anything to do with my trip, but I wanted a nice "road" picture, and Pinterest delivered;)

    Can't wait to get back and catch up with you all!:)

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewin...

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capul...

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would ...
