Penny rang me this morning, squealing excitedly. Seconds later I was squealing too. The community centre near the cubs' school is holding Bollywood Dancing classes next term! Hee. I'll be there.

The cubs and I were chatting (enthusing) to the cubs' father about Cars this morning while waiting for the bus. The cubs asked us what sort of cars we'd be in that universe. Their dad decided he'd be a blue panel-van - suits you, sir - and I'd be an old valiant. Yeeeah, a big old purple valiant...
I've seen some less than enthusiastic reviews for Cars over the past couple of days and they've made my brain go spang cos, what? How can you not like this movie?!
But then, realistically, I went into it with a pronounced bias. The soft spot I have for fast and/or powerful cars is largish, and then there's the other largish soft spot I have for road-trips and the scenery thereof...
Heh, each to their own. As I recall I said that Fellowship of the Ring was 'good for a laugh'. <g>

GoF sticker update (cos it's just sooo important...)
47 stickers left to collect, and 4 of the 12 'detector' cards. I've been buying the half-price 'starter packs' - 8 so far - and the people at the newsagents are starting to give me funny looks. Hate to think how much I'd be spending, though, if I had to resort to the full-price individual sticker packs.
You can order missing stickers from the company but at $1 each I'd rather get as many as I can through regular means first. Or eBay. : )

That's a 'gasp' emoticon. Discovered it by accident today while chatting to Joules...
<blink> It also kinda looks like a b/w minstrel. Oh dear.

... that's better. It's not been bolded...

As the SFSG rewrite ambles to an end I'm inevitably drawn to the question of 'what next'. I'm spoilt for choice, really - which is never a good thing. <g> So? Do I delve into the potentially 3 part fantasy? The Dystopia (hence a distinct lack of fluff) Romance? The actual Romance (just to see if I can bring myself to write one)? The contemporary crime fic? The several children's novels lurking in my 'ideas' folder? Eh, I'll come up with something. :)
Heh, and just noticed that those listed are in descending order of preparedness. Guess that narrows it down a touch.
