In which I apologize again...

...for the severe lack of posts, but I promise a more profound posts soon! For now, I thought I would direct you all to some fun things this wonderful Friday evening until I do so. :)

First off all Scott Westerfeld showed us an amusing video today, in which he disturbs Alan Cumming's recording to talk about the audiobook of Behemoth and the Leviathan series itself in this delightful, little interview. :D

My favorite part?

[Alan C: Will there be a happy ending, Scott? :0

Scott W: (pauses) Of course, Alan.

Alan C: Yay! :D ]

I loved how they were trying to be serious in the beginning but failing miserably at it. Alan Cumming's so cool in Spy Kids. Seriously. And he made a fantastic Mr. Elton in Emma. :D Oh, did I mention that I like his glasses too? :P (I need to get my hands on a audiobook of Leviathan soon!)

On a whole different note, Leah Cypress wrote a guest post for Confessions of a Bookaholic about why the epilogue worked for Mockingjay and the whole Hunger Games series a couple days ago. I thought it was interesting to see to see what an author had to say about. Hehe, I personally thought it was perfect. (Yes, I understand that I'm in the minority about this. :P)

Speaking of the Hunger Games, a couple of freshmen and sophomores in my homeroom this year are huge fans of it! Last Wednesday, we had this hour long talk about the whole series, and what worked about it and what didn't. It made me so happy because I don't know a lot people that read the Hunger Games, so finally being able to talk about it freely was truly amazing. :D Next week, we're planning to have a full discussion for Mockingjay. Yay! I've been waiting for a chance to debate about it since forever (aka right after I finished it..). ;)

I also changed the layout for this blog. Thoughts or suggestions? I still can't decide on whether the title should be white or orange. (For some reason I'm not able to let go of the orange. Hmm.) Oh, and I'm sorry if the blog description is hard to read. (There are some weird technical issues with Blogger Draft. Argh.)

Hee hee, so as usual, I will end this post promising more profound posts. Er, hopefully, they will be profound. I have a few ideas in mind for a couple of posts but...hmmmm. Well, ciao for now. Have a nice weekend everyone. If you're a student, I hope the first few weeks of school have been going well for you! :D

Psst...

I changed the layout as I promised. What do you think? Oh, and I have break all this week, so I'll try to write something everday! :D

And because I feel like posting it, here's one of my favorite Disney songs:



Which reminds me...I have a tennis match tomorrow. Hopefully it'll rain (like we're expecting it to) and get canceled, because as of right now, I still feel very unprepared. Yeesh. :P

Blog Update

Hey, everyone! I've been wanting to write, but I don't know what to write and the days have been going along just like that. Hmm...I think I have a case of blogger's block. It's really frustrating when that happens. :/

Well, in order to appease those frustrations, I made an About Me page and also a Books page! :D The links can be found as tabs below the header. The About Me page is...about me, and has some fun facts about my interests. The Books page has bookish fun facts about me, and has links to my goodreads page, and the book reviews I have written. Umm...any other page I should add? I feel like I'm missing something, but I don't know what...

So, I guess that's it. Our term's coming to an end soon, and I have to concentrate more on my work, so I must say farewell for a couple weeks. Ciao!

P.S. I touched the Berlin Wall last week. No, really, I did. My french teacher was there when they knocked it down, and apparently they let spectators take pieces of it as souvenirs. Last week, she passed it around the class, and having a piece of history in my hands felt so surreal (I've always wanted to use that word!).
