Hark, a Fairy Princess Yonder! (With Unicorns and Kitten!)

This is going to be a short post. I had the pleasure of having a telephone conversation with the always-funny and witty Elizabeth today. Major congratulations, by the way, are owed to her on account of her recent hiring at Toyo University in Tokyo. It sounds like a fantastic job for someone who's well along in their TESOL career, and considering this is Elizabeth's first major teaching job, her new posting is a testament to her tenacity, talent, and dedication to pedagogeratiousness (if that's a word, and, if it's not, then by the powers vested in me by the Department of English at Colorado State University, I hereby coin it). I'm super-stoked for her, and also a bit excited for me as (hopefully) the geographical narrowing will allow us to hang out a little once more.

Anyway, over the phone Elizabeth raved about all the pretty pictures I've been posting on this here blog, and she also announced that she's planning to enter the world of fantasy literature herself. In my estimation, she sounded far more excited about adventuring through books into the worlds of wizards and elf-princes than she did about going to Japan! So I figured that, for my next post, I would search for some internet fantasy art to display on her behalf. Surprisingly, I found an inspiring picture featuring a princess of some sort that looked eerily like Elizabeth! It's at the bottom. Enjoy!
