I watched the Percy Jackson movie today and it wasn't as bad as I imagined. The whole concept of "demi-gods" just rubbed me the wrong way from the start (automatic Mary-Sue, anyone?), but once you got over that -- and the movie facilitated the process a hundredfold by casting Hunt from Grey's Anatomy as POSEIDON and planting him in a Greek thigh- ( Read more... )

As much as I wish that was my quote... it's not. But suffice to say that I read The Lost Symbol, and was really disappointed by the end. ( Spoiler! )

School is hectic. A girl called Ashley (not real name) is causing a lot of grief. So far she has managed to alienate holiday plans for my friends without even really speaking to the persons she has infuriated. Now that's talent.

Oh, I had a good ( Read more... )

I read the spoilers of the rest of the Twilight series, and now I kind of hate it.

My mood swings are a bit weird. I feel kinda down for no reason. But I'm still going to plow through with the Meyer novels. I suppose that way I don't get my expectations too high. But the plot after the first book is ridiculous. I'll put it in a spoiler, but keep in ( Read more... )

Stuck at home for 2 months? I have been on the lookout for games, movies and (hah!) literature, and I thought I'd share them with you.

Pokemon MMORPGs are all the craze lately... basically they're Pokemon games that you play on an online server, the twist being that others play at the same time, and you can chat with/trade with/battle friends from ( Read more... )
