Seize the Stars

Good heavens, I've been terribly neglectful of lj in recent weeks! I joined a civil war reenacting group this spring, and I didn't really realize how much time it would eat up! On the bright side, I now have an 1860's day dress made up, and I've been to a few events, but on the not so bright side, the dress keeps being finicky and needing little adjustments I don't have time to make, and it's way too hot to wear in summer, and I don't have a camera with which to record for posterity all these cool events. So my to-do list is pretty full, and it really gets in the way of anything else fun, like my current dive back into Disney animated movies. (I finally saw The Princess and the Frog and Tarzan, and now I wonder why the heck I didn't see this stuff in the theater when it was new! Although when I went back and re-watched total heinous crap like The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules, I remember exactly why I was afraid to go see them!)

In light of my desperate need for a sheer summer dress in the near future, I don't have a lot of time for movies, or books that don't relate to the civil war, or time to ramble on about them, but I'll give it my best to not neglect lj totally in future. And hopefully I can still catch the new episode of Poirot that I missed last night; I can give up a lot of stuff, but new episodes of Masterpiece or Mystery! are just not on the chopping block!
