-The new movie they're making of it looks really cool.
-I don't remember if I ever finished the Narnia books, although I might have read them out of order at random intervals, like I do with some book series.

-My whole family liked the ASoUE movie, so we saw it three time.

[Dante]

-I read the Narnia books out of chronological order, but that's because they were written out of chronological order.
-I have an old box set of them which Mother had when she was a child.
-I think.
-Of course, I've insisted on putting them in their box in chronological order.
-Although The Horse And His Boy messes that up, as you'd have to cut TLTWATW in half, and then stick THAHB in the gap.
-As I said on Friday, to P.
-I'm trying to come up with B12 titles to submit to Egmont's Nameless Novel competition.

-And it's awfully dusty up there.
-It's possible that I'm suffering a prolonged allergic reaction.

[Antenora]

-We have a Narnia boxed set someplace, probably.
-At least, we have all the books in the series.
-Heh, I once read an Amazon review that described Harry Potter as being an exact rip-off of Narnia.
-There was also one saying that Harry Potter ripped of Lord of the Rings.
-And some call ASoUE a Harry Potter ripoff, so does that mean that Snicket is ultimately ripping off either C S Lewis or Tolkien?
-People seem to assume that all fantasy books are rip-offs of each other.
-I feel a bit sick.
-And I'm still tired from not sleeping well.
-I probably need to sort out my Spanish notebook.
-We were supposed to be numbering our assignments, but I keep forgetting.

[Dante]

-I think people must be confusing books in the same genre with rip-offs.
-They both have unicorns! OMGs plagiarism!
-That said, genuine rip-offs do exist.
-As well as parodies, but they don't count.
-Actually, now I can't remember if Narnia had unicorns.
-It's been years since I read them, or saw the BBC TLTWATW.
-I remember thinking some things in them were pretty cool, though.
-I've got nothing against Christian allegories, so long as they're at least inventive and original, and preferably subtle.
-Anyone remember when I played that online game which turned out to be a Christian allegory?
-King's Quest, I think it was called.
-Or possibly Shepherd's Quest.
-Or maybe I'm mixing up the title and plot.
-There was another game called Peasant's Quest.
-That was funny, but very difficult.
-I'm no good at text games.
-My gods, is it that late in the month already?
-I'll go add October dates to my Nameless Novel transcript thread.
-Actually, first I'll estimate whether I'll need another post for it.
-Given all the tasks that there will be, I might.
-Although it's not going to be a full two months.
-Hm.
-A few minutes ago, I had to run outside and help bring the washing in from out of the rain.
-So now I'm rather tired.
-And I stil have a headache.
-I have only two guesses left on Egmont's Nameless Novel competition.
-I think I've submitted some fairly unique and inventive titles, though.

[idiotj]

--Peasant Quest is from Homestar Runner.

[Antenora]

-It keeps on being sunny and then cloudy today.
-More often the latter.
-I've still got a dictionary and thesaurus on this table.
-Bah, I've somehow got the theme song to the old Aladdin spin-off cartoon stuck in my head!
-A-ray-bee-an N-aaaaaaa-yts, A-ray-bee-an D-aaaaaaa-yz, It's hotter than hot, tumty-tum ot, something tum aaaaaaa-yz...
-That show hasn't even been on for years!
-Argh.
-Hopefully, I'll forget it while I'm out.
-Speaking of which, I really must be going.
-I'll be back later.
-And when I am, I must remember to sort out my transcript thread.
-I haven't yet - I've been busy/distracted/forgetful [delete where not applicable].

[Antenora]

-I hate it when old songs I haven't heard for a while somehow get into my head.
-That happens to me a lot with commercial jingles.
-Today's crossword puzzle is pretty hard.
-I was able to figure out some of it, but the clues I've found out aren't helpful for solving the ones I haven't found out.
-Last night, I looked under my bed for a book on diary writing that I'm pretty sure I have someplace.
-I didn't find it, though.

-I just record things in my commonplace book.
-I can hear parrots outside.
-Yesterday, I think I saw a hawk somewhere on my street.

[idiotj]

I'm debating whether to self-mutilate or try to kill myself.
Suffocating is harder than I expected, and when I was on a site it takes a lot of will power to leave the bag on you. Even if you take sleeping pills, you'd still be able to take the bag off. I should wait until I'm more depressed, since I'm not sure I want to actually kill myself quite yet. So I'll do something that doesn't involve scissors.

[xangelkimzx]

-Don't kill yourself, J.
-I've been thinking about something I've never told anyone.
-Except perhaps one person, but I don't talk to him anymore.
-Hmm.

[Antenora]

-Yes, J, don't kill yourself.
-We'd all be so sad.
-Looking at the matter from another perspective, your death would make your worst enemies rejoice.
-And nobody wants that.
-I've been trying to get my cell phone to work.
-I've found that I can surf the internet with it.
-It's really slow, though, and typing is impossible with a phone.
-Plus, I'd worry about the huge phone bill.
-My parents and I went for a walk up to the shopping center, and I got some iced coffee.
-We bought a brownie, but I haven't eaten more than a couple of bites.
