Five Things on a Friday

1. I am not a member of the YA Mafia. That I know of. Not that I would say if I were - after all, the rules for the YA Mafia are probably like the rules for Fight Club, and we all know what the first rule is. Also, I remain surprised at how large tea-cup sized tempests can become

I am quite excited about seeing Swan Lake - I've seen The Swan Princess, which I quite liked (a non-Disney cartoon made of win) and I saw Billy Elliot, which had a bit of the swan at the end, but I've never seen the actual ballet. *is excited - but wishes you lived closer*

I wish you could have come, too - that would have made things even more awesome!

I love Tchaikovsky as well - the Swan, the Nutcracker, symphonies, sonatas . . .

CANNOT WAIT FOR DEMONGLASS to make it here!!!!!

This YA Mafia thing is ... just ... really ... dumb, I'm afraid. And yet: teapot? Check. Tempest? Check... Much like with the CHarlie Sheen thing, methinks we should all just LOOK AWAY...

M was quite excited to find Demonglass when she got home from school today. (The cover is - again - made of win.)

Re: the YA Mafia thing: I really thought Holly Black's post said it all, and cannot believe anyone is actually arguing that such a thing exists. *headdesk*

[kellyrfineman]

I suggest reading Holly Black's blog post on the subject, which will (a) tell you what it is and (b) put the issue to rest quite nicely.

#1 -- LOL -- I just heard of this today and have been reading through various posts on it. Very entertaining (and a little scary by some of the reviewers).

Have a great time tonight :D

[kellyrfineman]

Yes! "YA Mafia" simply cries out for accordions!
