I saw Star Trek for the fourth time tonight (yes, it's still in a few theaters).

Liked it very nearly as much as I did the first time.

Wowsers.

"She's seen it HOW many times? Sheesh, I could never sit still THAT long!"

We've been working on full-size carousel horses at the theatre (we did half-size horses a week or two ago) - paint today, glitter and bling tomorrow. PRETTY. Will post progress pictures, and sympathy shots of the two horses in "rehab".

After talking to a friend today, I've decided to try pre-natal vitamins to make my hair grow, rather than cutting it short. I'll get a good "trim" just before I leave for school.

"School", you say? Details coming soon.

"Redouble" is an odd word, and I don't think it's used correctly. Say, for example, the phrase "Redouble your efforts" - that would imply that you'd already been told to "double your efforts" and that's just not something you hear often. Plus, if you're going to redouble something, you're doubling it again - or double-doubling, if you will... which could be acurately described as "double-squaring" or "quadrupling". Telling someone to quadruple their efforts has the benefit of specificity (though telling someone to double-squared their efforts is just silly), especially if those efforts have already been doubled... but I suppose it smacks of overkill. "Redouble" is merely redundant. (Speaking of, why don't you ever hear the word "dundant"?)
