Behold the Mighty Bwun!

I finally (re)discovered the video camera, so not only did I upload all the videos from the past few months, I even took one of the Bwun crawling. Because I could. And it’s my blog here, so I can also flood you with the majestic adorableness of the Bwun.

Behold!

(In more-or-less chronological order.)


Cross your fingers

I realized today that one of my goals for this year, the Countdown Challenge, ends tomorrow. I still have to read another 7 books in order to complete the challenge…and I’m not sure if it can be done! Here’s a look at the books I’m going to be trying to finish:

Luke Cuddy, ed., The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy: I Link Therefore I am

Brian Leaf, Defining Twilight: Vocabulary Workbook for Unlocking the SAT, ACT, GED, and SSAT

Jayne Anne Phillips, Lark & Termite: A Novel

Joseph O’Neill, Netherland

Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code (Can I just say that I’m so embarrassed to be reading this? But for the challenge I needed one more 2003 book. I really, really feel ashamed to admit it.)

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Legend of Sigurd & Gudrún

Mitali Perkins, Secret Keeper

I’m already halfway through the Zelda book, and the others are all reasonable lengths and hopefully they’ll be quick reads. Cross your fingers for me! I really want to finish!
