1. In regards to the second Percy Jackson book, which I read in the past couple days, I believe this photograph speaks for itself:
However, it did dawn on me that this series has literally the exact same plot as Harry Potter. But hey, gotta love young adult fantasy... It's the peanut butter and fluff sandwich of the literary world.
2. In the two semesters I have been here at Hampshire, I have only been awake for weekend brunch once or twice. Then, this weekend, I made it two days in a row. I consider this achievement to be a huge step in the general productivity of my life. Please ignore the fact that weekend brunch is open until 1:00 PM. If we too closely ponder this fact, the legitimacy of my achievement might be slightly overshadowed by the pitiful fact that I consider waking before one a significant feat. However, lets just pretend that arising triumphantly at the early hour of 12:30 is akin to winning a battle of one against ten thousand men. With this mindset, banana chocolate chip muffins and scrambled eggs are the foods of champions.
3. I have had a serious craving for board games lately (I know, man, I live on the edge). Unfortunately, I have no board games in my possession. Monopoly is at the top of my list, closely followed by Scrabble, and perhaps Life. Or N*Sync trivia games (*cough23cough*). If you have any of these delights, we should seriously get a game night going.
Love,
GennaRose
I'm going to be back tomorrow night. Board games at my house. I need it. I miss you.
ReplyDeleteI miss you too, love. We can play board games and I'll give you a million hugs.
ReplyDeleteThe plots are NOT THE SAME! In PJ, at least the main characters WANT to bone! In HP, it's all like "oh, no, hermione's just my friend. she's gonna marry ron, and i'll marry ron's little sister."
ReplyDeletewhat the crap is that?!
side-note: i was actually ecstatic about the ending to HP, though it doesn't come through above. THEY'RE JUST NOT THE SAME.
A preteen boy discovers he has magical powers. He goes to a special school/camp for other kids with special powers, and makes two best friends-- a socially awkward but endearing boy, and a brainy girl. The three of them must attempt to stop the rise of an evil entity that has fallen from power but is manipulating people in order to reassemble his body, grow strong, and overthrow the current magical leaders. Meanwhile, a prophecy states that the protagonist will, in the end, be the key to the villain's success or failure. However, there is another kid who has the potential to possibly be the chosen one of the prophecy as well.
ReplyDelete...and that's just the first two books of PJ.
