I am back

http://www.fantasy-backgrounds.com/planets-images/distant-fantasy-world-1920x1200.jpg


and don't you forget about it.

Well, that was a nice break.
My fingers started to get twitchy from typing-withdrawal by the second day though.

What? Whatareya'll looking at me like that?
Fine, I haven't posted in two weeks. But what's two weeks between friends, eh? Besides, I needed a break. Due to that February challenge, I posted more last month then I have ever posted in a month before.(<--would ya look at that awkward sentence. Yes, I am out of practice.) But don't worry. Are you in for extra posts today!

So in the days past, I have:
~read six and a half books(The Mysterious Benedict Society, The Perilous Journey, Frankenstein, Magyk, Flyte, Physik, and Queste. And The Swarm war.
~Fangirled about Percy Jackson and the Olympians(finished listening to THe Demigod Files)

Like I said, you were all up for a scathing review of Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief  The Movie. But this video pretty much covers it. Watch the whole thing. It's hilarious.
"Instead, just make Percy say 'Woah, woah, woah" 143 times." XD


They will make more though. The Lightning Thief did more than "okay" at the box office. And they said they "chose the cast specifically with sequels in mind." Huh. How that works out, I don't know. I must write reviews for Septimus Heap though. Someday, someday.

Let's see. I had lots of post ideas for you. They seem to have escaped me forever.


Did you know I haven't posted anything about Star Wars in a long time? 


I just finished the Swarm War by Troy Denning. Which effectively means that I have read every single Star Wars book with Jaina Solo in it. Scary. 
(drums fingers on table and waits for Ascension to come out. August if I remember correctly)

While we're waiting, did you know that they're going to be making a Septimus Heap movie? And Angie Sage is directing it! I'm excited :) 

People are speculating who should play who. As for Marcia, I think Rachel Weiz would make a great fit.

Doesn't she just look the part?
I need to go work on The Lakehouse Newsletter. We're doing this awesome thing with costumes! People are submitting pictures of their costumes. 


Oh, and hear this new song I like:

 It's good to be back.

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhelmed by our sins,      you forgive them a

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin

Ciel Phantomhive vs. Artemis Fowl

  Don't laugh. XD The similarities between the two characters are so distinct and obvious that comparison is inevitable for anyone who's read/watched both series. I seriously thought when I first noticed Black Butler(more popularly referred to as Kuroshitsuji) that it was literally an anime adaption of Artemis Fowl.  Other people have read Artemis Fowl and thought "CIEL HAS A CLONE??!?" So I thought I'd outline some of the differences and analyze who would win. XD Similarities: Appearance:  This is the first similarity, and one of the most major, because if they didn't look so darn alike I don't think the comparison would have been as striking. The above picture of Artemis is a fanart, because there aren't really any good pictures of Artemis, and the manga style makes it more obvious. They are both from the British Isles and have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them lose/change/switch an eye resulting in two different colors.
