Musings of Lanna Lee Maheux

One of our visiting high school students took some pictures of my car on fire. Here are some of them:

I think the fire-people had way too much fun:

Edmund and I did something crazy last night! We bought a car. Well, a mini-van, actually. Lookie!

Pretty sweet, huh!

Hey, anyone want to help me name it?

Went to MuggleFest on Friday:

Took the Hogwarts Express

Almost bitten by a book:

Talked to a guy in a mirror:

Looked into buying some skiving snack boxes

Saturday, I finally got it!

(Click Here for the picture slideshow, more pictures! Hogwarts Express!)

Finished reading the book Saturday night. What now?

“The Inheritance” (the car I got from my grandfather) is no more. I drove “Vicky” (a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria) to work today; it caught on fire when I got out of it.

I am sorry I didn’t have the presence of mind to take a picture while the car was on fire (that would have been cool) but I was too busy trying not to freak out.

Here she is being towed away:

Here is Vicky in better days:

Ed said “Face Dance!” So I did.

Here is a picture of me in Face Dance, the Movie!

Last year I worked a couple of days on Face Dance, and it is premiering at the Maine International Film Festival on July 14th!

Would you join me in watching it?

Here is the ticket information: https://www.miff.org/tickets/film.php?id=175

More information about the film is below. I play one of the Face Dancers.

Edmund and I will be going to the Saturday, July 14th showing at 9:30 pm. (There is another showing on Wednesday, July 18th at 6:00 pm.)

Hope to see you there!

1. The winters are long and cold; there is nothing else to do but write.
2. We have plenty of pulp wood, so we won’t run out of paper!
3. Strange things always seem to happen in Maine…
4. In Northern Maine, they think you are weird if you aren’t a hermit.
5. The money saved on dental fees can go right to essential writing tools: beer, printer ink, and Ho Hos.
