13 Songs On My Soundtrack I loved this meme when Gina Ardito did it a couple weeks ago for her Thursday Thirteen. My only problem was deciding which music collection to use. My laptop only has instrumental music: Opus 2. Waltz # 1 and Violin Concerto In F, RV 296 – 3. Allegro…
13 Possible Short-Term Problems I brainstormed a bit today on putting together short-term problems that would pull the hero and heroine together yes provide some conflict on why they might not be the best match at first glance. I’ll readily admit that many of these were heavily influenced by romance novels I’ve read…
13 Studio Ghibli Movies We Love Hiyao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli is as big or bigger than Disney here in the U.S. We own these thirteen (and probably others) in both the original Japanese and the American dubbed releases.
