The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games This freewheeling mother/daughter interview tells you everything you want to know about the book and movie. Including a rather useful distinction between action and violence. (The daughter is a literary critic and a linguist!)

Thanks to my FB friend and writing buddy Elizabeth for this link.

I hear you saying, "Finally, a blog post on ibischild! I've been waiting forever!" Sorry folks.

I'm considering starting an ibischild Facebook page.

It would be easier to post a sentence or two--or even (gasp!) a photo--on a FB wall than to agonize over composing a blog post with the requisite literary finesse and philosophical prowess. In other words, I think I would post more often about my life here in Luxor.

I would continue the blog as an ancillary, for days when I'm inspired to make a longer post with earth-shattering significance.

Too much info, I guess. But what do you think about the FB idea?

Linguistic question: Is it a FB wall or an FB wall?!

Happy 2012!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!

Here's a photo for you from my recent cruise to Dendera. May you have smooth sailing through 2012!

A quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, to start your year off right:
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

(I hit the wrong button, & the caption was displaced. Not a techhie!) Click on the picture to see the photo in full-sized splendor at Flickr. With my description, full of local color.


Oh, and happy New Year to me! I finished first revision!


My new year's resolution for the blog: To post more Egypt photos! We'll try, anyway.
