Sunday Snippets!

It's that time of week again!  Sunday Snippets!

Last week, I only had one post.  It stated that I have returned to blogging.  (How many of these sorts of posts must I make.)  Also, it talks about the fact that I am making many changes to my blog.  One of which is the change in the title.


Next week I shall for sure have more posts.

I’m Back yet again (and hopefully for good) & changes

I’m back yet again.  This time it should be for good.  I’m making a bunch of changes to this blog.

When I started this blog I was in a Narnia craze.  Everything Narnia.  Narnia, Narnia, Narnia.  That has gradually worn off.  Now, although I still love Narnia, it isn’t the center of everything.  So I’ve decided to revamp this blog and make it more streamlined for the modernistic consumer.  In words not used by people in marketing to try to sound cool.  I’m changing my blog to something else.  What is that something else?  It is  -_--O  (That’s a drum rolling by the way (get it?  Drumroll?))  Catholicism.  I’ve decided to do two things. 1: Write posts answering questions about Catholicism (Serious and not-so serious)  2: Writing my thoughts on issues of today (and tomorrow and the day after and...)  5: I mean 3: Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition (and yes I did just make three Monty Python references.  (They are King Arthur’s problem with mistaking 5 for 3, The Spanish Inquisition line, and the other one you can figure out for yourself.  (It involves the fact that I said I only had two things and I had three))

Of course, I will also periodically post things unrelated to the above, but I can’t foresee those and tell you about them.

On a related note to the thing 1, I want YOU to send me your questions about Catholicism.  Either stuff that you wonder, or stuff that a friend or relative wonders, or stuff that some person somewhere might wonder so you might as well ask it yourself to save him the trouble.  Also, let me repeat, non-serious questions are allowed and encouraged.  There’s not enough humour in the world and I want more of it.  (An example of a non serious question is: Do Catholics believe that Pluto is a planet?  To which the answer is of course: Yes!  You aren’t a Catholic if you don’t believe that Pluto is a planet as well as a dog.  (p.s. That was humour.  It is not really my view that you must believe in the planetness of Pluto to be a Catholic.))

On another related note.  If you see any mistakes both spleling mistakes (besides that last one.  It was intentional to be funyn.) and mistakes in content (for instance if I was to say that the bible was written by Noah one night on the ark when he was bored.)  If they aren’t obviously not meant seriously (like my statement about Pluto.)

Also, awhile back, I said that if any homeschoolers or homeschool graduates want me to put out an ad for anything that they do, just say the word.

If you’d be interested in writing a guest article.  Be my guest.  leave a comment on my blog saying what you want to write about and give me a link to your blog (or if I know you personally just tell me who you are.) and I’ll get back to you on wether or not I’d accept your article.

That’s all for now...

NaNoWriMo a.k.a national novel writing month

Some people may be wondering why I’m not posting at all, even though I said I was back just last week. The reason is because of NaNoWriMo.  NaNoWriMo is a challenge to write a five thousand word essay during the month of November.  As this will probably be very difficult, I’m taking a break from all things involving a computer except for school work and working on the novel.  So until December...

That’s all for now.

Dr. Who and Narnia

I have just heard a rumour that the next Dr. Who Christmas special will be set in "Narnia" in the words of the Daily Star (the paper that reported this) "Show boss Steven Moffat is planning lots of snow, chases through a wintry The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe-style forest, plus an icy baddie.
The special sees the Time Lord (Matt Smith, 28) crash land in war-torn England. Posing as the caretaker of a creepy old house in Dorset he embarks on a magical mystery adventure with Madge Arwell and her two children, Lily and Cyril. The three have been evacuated from London as the capital comes under attack during World War Two. And there’s plenty of surprises as the Doctor leads them into a new world."  Admittedly, it probably won't be just like Narnia, probably not even closely based on Narnia, but the fact that the best tv show to ever come out of Britan might be combined with one of the best books ever is good enough for me.

Finally! A Narnia post!

Well I was just looking through my recent posts and I realized that *gasp* I haven’t had a Narnia related post in, well let’s just say a long time.  So, without further ado:  A Narnian themed post.

It would have been better if this post was yesterday.  Yesterday was The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe’s sixty-first birthday.  Happy birthday Narnia!

In other news, Douglas Gresham hopes to one day of movie versions of every Narnia book.  However, it will be a while until the next movie because the contract with Walden Media expired and the Lewis Estate  has to wait "several years” until they are allowed to sell the rights to the books.  In the meantime, we wait.
