OK so maybe this is a little dorky but I am excited that they are making a movie out of one of my favorite books. Actually the first book in a fantasy trilogy comprised of The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. The author, Philip Pullman, creates a rich world which I am not going to tell you about because you should go out and read the books yourself.
But I will tell you one thing, which is that in the world of The Golden Compass, all people have daemons, or animal familiars, that are like extensions of themselves. And on the website for the movie you can get your own daemon, based on your personality. Which I have done, and would you-all like a chance to comment? Is this the right daemon for me? Check out my little daemon-blurb in the upper right of this blog.

Looking at Philip Pullman's blog, I see that he has not posted there since January (of which year, I don't know). So now I don't feel so terribly remiss in my laggardly blogging habits. I know, I know, but I won't promise to blog more because that sort of thing always backfires on me!
BTW, this is post number 100. Yay!
