O.K., books.

Some of my favorite books are: LOTR (of course); The Chronicles of Narnia; Red Hugh, Prince of Donegal, The Screwtape Letters; The Red Keep; The Scottish Chiefs; The Outlaws of Ravenhurst; and Janice Meredith.

I know that most people have never heard of most of these books but I love all of them. I’m a bookworm.

The Belgariad. Duh.

I finished Eldest. It was good, but (surprise surprise!) more blasphemy. I am going to write Mr. Paolini a nasty letter. Really. As in, when I finish Museblog. Plagerism!

I bet I am as big a bookworm as you, Mirjana. Some of my other favorites are Year of Impossible Goodbyes, The–Guide–, 2010, Mother Ocean Daughter Sea, Narnia (even though it is theological), To Kill a Mockingbird, The Outsiders, almost all of Sharon Creech, The Wanderer and Heartbeat and Walk Two Moons especially. Also basically everything Shakespeare, The Mists of Avalon (even though it was so freaky I couldn’t finish it; depressing, too), Ender’s Game, the Little House books, Joust, LOTR, and lots, LOTS, more. I LOVE to read!

I read too many books to name all of. Something I recommend to make you paranoid and nervous is the International Spy Museum Handbook of Practical Spying. Very funny.

Do you guys read the Ender books (Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide and Children of the Mind) or the Bean books after Ender’s Game (if you read them at all)?

I like many many books that I will tell you all about later as I would like to go read in bed now.^_^

sorry guys. For unnamed reasons I will be on here not at all. Thank you all for not treating me like the insufferable know-it-all and chatterbox that I am. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

So passed Phoenix.

Speaking of trilogies, has anyone read C. S. Lewis’s “Perelandra” books? They’re called Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength. Harder to find nowadays than the Narnia series, but libraries should have them.

Also, have you seen the trailer for the Narnia movie coming out in December?

ooh sequels. fun fun. hey speaking of sequels does anybody know if gone with the wind has a sequel? i’m too lazy to look it up (when i remember) but i think there must be one unless the author just wrote that ending to be evil. It’s a good book, but i really did not like the ending.

I have all 3 of those books, and i’ve read the first one..sort of…ish, but i didn’t like it much. It might’ve had something to do w/the fact i was so little i couldn’t really understand it…maybe i’ll try them again.

hey elasse-adael, why do you like his dark materials? I mean, ok, I liked the first one a lot. But the second one i thought was bad, and the last one was worse. no diss or anything, just wondering.

help i’m running out of things to say…yes once again the purpose is procrastination. you should make a procrastinators thread so we can all come on and put in random comments and complaints against the evils of homework and the terrible knowledge that we’ll have to do it sometime or another. that really has nothing to do w/ books…oh well.

oh yah madeline l’engle’s good too. actually i didn’t like her books at first and then i read them again a couple years later and loved them…i am now absolutely convinced to go dig up the c.s. lewis books now.

yes rambling on again, that’s me ramblerambletypetypeblahblahblah.

oh yes one more thing has anybody seen the old narnia movies? if you haven’t, don’t. they’re really bad. I spent the whole night in happy mocking laughter. I hope the new one’s better, it probably will be. speaking of which, i’m gonna shut up now and go watch the trailer for that. oh the joys and wonders of the internet, and the complete easiness of procrastination online….absolutely flamablamablous.

oh wait one more thing, just one, i promise, but who else is obssessed w/ old 1930s movies?? yay errol flynn! anyhoo, i was cracking up all through history today there’s a nice long line of pics of the random presidents throughout history and as i looked around the room i saw…..our tenth president. the picture was so funny he looked exactly like basil rathbone (if you don’t know who that is be glad that you retain your sanity at least a little bit) and it was really funny. ok now i read that and it sounds really lame. i suppose you had to be there. I’m gonna go ahead and post it anyway cuz i’m really bored. you don’t have to read it. (yeah that’s nice of me-you plow through this whole thing and then at the END i tell you it’s not important-nice) now i’m really gonna shut up and get going.

Farewell Phoenix. We will miss you.

I hate the Outsiders, Harry Potter (ow! PAX!) and the Silmarillion. (It’s unreadable. I kid you not. I’m a Tolkien Liberal.) I also heart the Amelia Peabody series, Redwall, Frans de Waal, James Herriot (English vet series), Alan King, Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss, Kenneth Grahame, Roz Chast, and C. Paolini. Unfortunately, my quest to find the Belgariad continues.

My favorite movie is You’ve Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I also like The Importance of Being Earnest (version with Reese Witherspoon, Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson and Frances O’Connor), plus Desk Set (Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn), and Who Wants to Marry A Millionaire, The Pirates of Penzance (version with Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt, Rex Smith(who’s really cute in this), George Rose, Patricia Routledge, and Tony Azito).

OK, I’m finished checking everything.

Harry Potter??? You hate Harry Potter??? I’m in shock!
*ebeth sits at the keyboard in shock* Can you give me reasons please so I can spend hours denying them in a long 50 page essay? lol! but seriously, what’s wrong with hp?

yes the sil is unreadable, but I love it anyway. Once you can plow through it a couple times, you figure out what to read and what to skip and what to scan through and it’s great.

hmm…my last post didn’t get posted. not suprised (it’s no loss peoples-just random ramblings) but i’m gonna repeat a couple things here. Let’s see if I can keep this one short!

ok…blahblah…who’s read gone w/ the wind? is there a sequel? or was there supposed to be one? strange ending, that book.

more ramblings…liked the golden compass, didn’t like the other 2 dark materials…l’engle’s good…gonna try the perelandra ones again…who’s obssessed w/1930s movies? (yes! errol flynn!) who thinks basil rathbone was our 10th pres? yes crazy I know…I’ve seen pics where they look exactly the same.

wow that was some summarizing! woohoo! probably because this post isn’t for the purpose of procrastinating (yes i actually finished my hw). hey you admins should try not accepting my posts more often! this is way shorter. but still long. wow. the curse of rambling on…*sigh*

Yay Pheebs, someone finally has heard of that series. I’ve read all the books up to the one i’m reading now, Seeing a large cat. The main character’s personality totally demolishes Amelia Bedelia and clears my good name. n_n

I like books by Madeleine L’engle and Patricia C. Wrede as well. The Belgariad is a series of five books starting with Pawn of Prophecy. They are by David Eddings. His other stuff isn’t good though so don’t read it. I also like books by Mercedes Lackey. I haven’t finished the Silmarilion yet. ChinTsu- What is the Amelia Peabody series like? what is the first book’s title? Who are they by? are you named Amelia? It is an awesome name.

ooh has it come out yet? I keep forgetting to check her site..
I liked the His Dark Materials series, and stuff.. Gone with the wind i think has a sequel written by another person..
The harry potter books, at least the first ones, just aren’t written that well..
I don’t really watch very many movies (I get scared easily) but I like Marx Brothers, Muppet Show, and the Beatle’s movies.. I actually like Help the best, better than Hard Day’s Night, and I haven’t seen Magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine is cool.. I’m sort of obsessed with the Beatles…

actually I’ve never seen their movies, but I love the music.

has anybody read the dirk gently books? I just read the first one. It was ok, but it wasn’t funny. I expected it to be more like the hitchiker’s guide books. but douglas adams still rocks! (plus he’s british. britishers are cool. don’t ask why, they just are)

Is one of them (Dirk Gently books) the one with that girl and Thor and the lightposts going out and the train station with the party of the gods and all of that good stuff? And no, I’m not talking about the one that’s sort of like that in the Hitchhikers trilogy.

RINGO STARR!!!! at the risk of sounding like a deranged fangirl, he tooooooooooooooooooottttttttaaaaallllyyyyy rrroooocccccckkkksss!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love his accent!

yeah the Thor thing was in the first one. i dunno about the party of the gods thing, it’s probably in the second one cuz I haven’t read that one yet.

actually my mom’s getting scared cuz today my brother got a b-day ecard from my cousin that said something about hoping he had the happiest b-day ever, and i started rambling on about how depressing that is cuz that means that that’s it and he can never hope for a happier b-day cuz he knows that this was the happiest one and other random comments about time traveling and stuff like that. and then i just stopped and thought about what i said and suddenly realized the effect of reading 6 books and one random collection of stuff from douglas adams, all within a month. scary stuff. kinda funny though. wow i’ve been rambling for a while again now. I’ll go write long comments for everything else on the site now.

Ringo? The little one with the big nose? Really? I had a mad crush on him when I was three- I went around the house banging on a pair of oatmeal canisters pretending they were drums.
My favorite now is George- I like his songs, and his eyebrows.
Which is “the long dark tea-time of the soul”? I’m pretty sure the one I have is “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective agency.”
I like the Schubert Cello Quintet a lot; I played it at summer camp two years ago.
Maybe we should have a music thread?

weee… I just figured out Xenos’ Paradox! really! lets see if anyone else has gotten it…
(hint: it deals with the the dimensional theories)
also, using Shroedingers’ discoveries, I worked out how living organisms can teleport! It is just a theory, because we don’t know enough about quantum mechanics to pull it off, but it’s a start…

Here it is: picture this- a__________b
say you start at point a, and start to walk to point b.eventually, you will be in the exact middle, or pint c. now it looks like this: a____c____b
you keep walking ’till you are halfway between your former halfway point, c, and your destination, b. Now you are on point d:
a__c__d__b.
If you keep walking, you will keep making new center points, right? But since numbers and fractions are infinate, there will always be more center points, so theoretically you should NEVER get to point b. But obviously real life dosn’t work like this, so how can this be true? a paradox is when two know facts conflict-and Xenos’ is my favorite. See if you can solve it.

That’s Zeno’s paradox, Ms. P., named after the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea. Others can find good explanations of it (warning! with spoilers!) at mathacademy.com and mathforum.org.

This doesn’t have much to do with books or movies, though. Any chance of moving the discussion to the October open thread?

OK: Favorite books: Way too many to mention. A lot of them are already up here, but I didn’t see The Naming (by Alison Croggon I think), which is kinda ripped off from LOTR, but is awesome anyway, or Tithe (Holly Black), which is about scary modern faeries (perfect for October), 1984, which I adore but is so freaky-cool that I don’t expect anyone else to, Dune, even though I’m only halfway through it, almost anything by Terry Pratchett, other stuff that I am forgetting at the moment. I’ll probably remember at odd hours of the night and post ’em then.

Yo everone, didn’t read all the comments bot decided to leave a random message anyway!

My favorite book of all time is, as my name implies, Anne of Green Gables. Also, does anyone out there read Dickens or Austen? They are so funny! Yeah, I know, I’m a freak, but any other freaks like meout there?

As far as movies go, I like Gladiator, Cinderella Man (Yay! Go Russel Crowe!) Forest Gump and The Patriot. Also, I forgot to mention Horatio Hornblower. (Thanks for doing that article about him awhile back, Muse! I loved it!)

Anyway, I have to do my math before my mom freaks out. (I’m home-schooled) See ya later!

about austen-I LOOOOOOVED Pride and Prejudice, but the other ones get kinda boring towards the middleish-end (in my esteemed opinion. wait-i’m esteemed? wow. cool. amazing. oh wait never mind. that was a typo.)

I read out of the silent planet today. (yah it took a while but i had to find it first) better than I remembered! another huzzah for RC!!!

And what was up with that comment about Austen getting boring at some point?!? How could anyone who is blogging about books and who likes Charles Dickens say such a thing?!??! But I guess ebeth did say she loved Pride and Prejudice, so I guess I can overlook it

But, ya’ll were talking about something. What is Circle Reforged? I’ve never heard of it.

w/Austen it’s only the middle endish place where you’ve figured out who’s ending up w/who and all that’s left is the proposals and weddings and such. i dunno, i just don’t like those bits much.

ok hang on having images here. are the circle books those nice fat ones w/the red+gold and all or are those something different? I saw some type of circle series, never read them though.

my must_go_buy (heehee! stealing randomrohanfreak’s quote) is ELDEST!!!! I still haven’t read that! *slap* BAD EBETH!! normally that would be a terrible crime and I would have to burn myself at the stake for it. eek. haven’t been to a bookstore recently though. arrrrrrrrgh…hoom well ending my ramblings now in favor of early din-dins. very hungry. anyhoo later!

Yo books and movies people, in cae you didn’t see the thing in writing, I am now the official Queen of Museblog, and because I’m the only one on here, no one is going to protest!

Okay, What’s my first official act as Queen MontgomerGurl? Well first I declare that it be said by all that Dickens is the greatest guy ever, and that Austen novels are still facinating, even after it becomes clear who is going to marry whom. Also, all you Musres who call yourselfs readers must read P.G. Wodehouse! He wrote all the Jeeves and Wooster stuff, which is so funny that my majesty almost squirted milk out of my majesty’s most eteemed nose. All right, Once that order is accomplished I will give some more

(To be read in a very sweet and sappy tone of voice).

Do not worry Musers, I won’t be a bad queen. I shall be fair, and just, and wise and…..What?? What did you say to me?!!?? You think P.G. wodehouse isn’t funny!!!!!!! Guard, Off with his head!!!! *sound of agonized scream* There, now what was I saying? Oh yes, …and I shall be kind, and loving to the Musers under me, and I will always be loved by all! (I had better be!!!)

Okay loyal subjects, your Queen has returned! * Queen’s theme music plays* Alright Phoebe, you may be the almighty ruling force from the heavens, but we’re not in the heavens, are we? And, because we are all so bizarre, it could be argued that we actually exist in a parralel universe, and therefore any ruler, except for the Queen of MuseBlog, would be invalid. However, since I am a kind and gracious Queen and you said you like P.G. Wodehouse, I will instate you as my second in command for the MuseBlog universe.

Oh, puny subject ebeth, you have angered your queen grately, but you have fled my grasp so I will answer your hideoulsly ignorant question. P.G. Wodehouse was an english dude who wrote a bunch of incredibly funny books in about the 1930’s. I shall order your head removed next time you enter my universe if you do not promise to read them as soon as you can!

So i’ll be on soon rambling on about that. just a warning.

Lemony Snicket, Eoin Coilfer (sp), Monty Python is a theatrical comidy troup that did several movies and a tv show, skits, etc , and Douglass Adams.
I disliked the Series of Unfortunate Events.. the first few are okay, but they’re really formulaic- the plots are all on the same line, and he even uses the same funny/cute devices in them, like the thing where he tells you you’d probably be better off reading a dictionary, etc, and the books get kind of depressing once his sense of humor gets old… I liked his autobiograpy a lot better, though.
HHG2Gal trilogy good. you should read them. Although the last one isn’t as good as the first four.
while you’re reading new books, also read stuff by Isaac Asimov. and Daniel Pinkwater. and Agatha Christie.

P.G. Wodehouse wrote Jeeves and Wooster, as the Queen Montgomery mentioned, and a host of other books found at a library near you.

I hate Harry Potter because I think it’s badly written. Let’s be perfectly frank and admit that it’s blatantly over-marketed and trite. Past that, which, honestly, is no fault of the book, it’s OBIVOUS what’s going to happen. Stop sputtering and keep reading. No suspense whatsoever. NONE. Also the character’s actions are so unrealistic it’s amazing. Frighteningly so. The first was passable, I concede. The rest, however, were verging on the unreadable. OW! OW! OW!

Such were the last words of Julietaini, First Queen of Kiador…

I also read the first 100 pages of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. It was pretty good. But then we came home from CA and I left it there.

i am veeery sad right now because i haven’t seen captain blood yet and i want to but the library only has it on vhs and we don’t have our thingy set up yet.

ok that’s really sad i forgot what the thing was that played movies. i watch too many dvds…

OY! vcr that was it. now i feel really stupid and slightly brainwashed by the dvd players…anyhoo we can’t find our vcr amongst the bockses of stuff (never mind the spelling that’s just how i like to spell it.) so there’s no point in renting it.

I just read the collection of short stories called Reave the Just by Stephan Donaldson. They are all pretty good, some really good, some excellent, but one that I read was REALLY freaky. It wasn’t scary, you must understand, just very thought provoking. It was called “Penance”, and it was about this man who is a vampire. He is wandering about, feeding on blood, when he takes up residence in the attic of a church. He hears the prayers and decides he wants to be a Christian. So he goes and becomes a member. Of course, they don’t know he is a vampire. He falls in love with this girl, and she teaches him to be a devoted Christian.
It is a very sad book and has an evil Bishup.

I don’t think I have ever read a book that had an evil Bishop. I think it’s a pretty common theme, but I don’t tend to read those kind of books.

Have any of ya’ll ever read any books by the Bronte girls? I liked Wuthering Heights alot, and Jane Eyre was pretty good, just really depressing. Almost nothing went her way the entire book, untill she got engaged to Mr. Rochester, and then that turned out to be a dud. It was really super frustrating, and even though it was very well written, I got mad and threw it across the room several times.

The Princess Bride, everything by Pixar, Conspiracy Theory, all those Mel Gibson movies that were so good, LOTR kinda, Citizen Kane, What About Bob?, The Man Who Knew Too Little, and the Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks romantic comedies.

I have only seen seven movies in theatres. They are: Prince of Egypt (HATED that one!), Toy Story 2, The Rookie (with Dennis Quayd), Finding Nemo, The Passion of The Christ, LOTR 3, and Cinderella Man. I had to drag my mom to the last one, she kept on going “but honey, it’s a BOXING movie!” but in the end, we were glad we went. Random comment over.

“but honey it’s a BOXING movie!” lol sry that sounds like something my mom would say.

i have a late day tomarrow though which is totally cool cuz we don’t have to be at school until 9…happy days.

oh yah we might go see corpse bride this week too…my mom wants to see it (and then she’s gonna be the one that hates it and we’re all gonna love it…that’s what happens all the time. of course when we drag her along to a movie she ends up loving it…people in general can be pretty strange. )

Animal Farm was really great. I wanted to punch some of those nasty pigs!! I get pretty emotionally involved in books read. With Animal Farm I was getting so upset about what was going on, and mad at the stupid animals who were letting it happen, I really just about threw something! And with Jane Eyre I was so mad at the depressing plot-line that if the writer of that book had been in my room I probably would have slapped her!! Same with Nancy Drew. I get so mad at her! She always goes to the most dangerous place possible, and not only that, But BY HERSELF!!!! She’s always like “I really need to take a walk right now, even though it’s night and murderers are loose around here somewhere. I don’t think I’ll tell anybody, because if I do they won’t let me go out, or they’ll want to go with me, and I really need to clear my head,” and I’m going, “yo, Nancy, get a clue!! Think about WHY they don’t want you to go out by yourself,” but she never takes my advice!!!! She always gets kidnapped, but I can’t have any sympathy for her, because it’s her own fault!!! Gosh it makes me so MAAADD!!!!!!!! AAAARRRGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You saw that movie!!!!!!!! Lucky!!!!!!! I want to see that.

Following an earlier made comment… books are way better than their movies, it’s like a rule!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when I went to see the Harry Potter 3 movie, in the middle of the movie right when the werewolf came out my friend
KKKittyKat burped so loud that we both started laughing SO hard!!!
People in the seats around us turned around and looked at us like we were crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t seen the movies (I don’t watch very many movies- I get scared very easily) but I really liked the LOTR books. And Tom Bombadil was my favorite character. And he apparently isn’t in the movies.
CALVIN AND HOBBES!!!!!! My natural studlyness has overwhelmed Susie’s fragile grip on reality!

I really love the Princess Bride, both book and movie. Actually, I like the movie better, which is a surprise, because very few movies are better than thier counterpart books. Only Shrek comes to mind, but that was a really stupid book. I read Jane Aire, but it really depressed me. DOWN WITH WESTLY! UP WITH PRINCE HUMPERDINK! COUNT RUGEN ROCKS! YAAAAAYYYY!

WHAT ABOUT HOKEY POKEY!!!! YAAAY!!! HELLO MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA! YOU KILLED MY FATHER!! PREPARE TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!

hello my name is hokey pokey! you killed my father! prepare to dance!

l’engle’s cool. calvin and hobbes is cool…except when my brother is bugging me about it…hobbes is really cool though.

right now i’m reading my history textbook. joy. yes i’m doing more homework. i found out there was a part i missed. arrgh.

my mom says that once she went to the theatre to see the Princess Bride with a bunch of friends. They had already seen it, and they wore Westly masks and black outfits and swords, and when Inigo does the line thing to Count Ruegan, they all stood up and yelled, HELLO! MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA…
then they got kicked out of the theatre, but it’s still funny.

i’m reading oliver twist for like the millionth gazillionth batrillionth quadrillionth time. yay oliver twist! wheee! i started it again during study hall…cuz it was like the only book in my locker…*gasp* oh the horror. i need to stuff some more books in there. but yah oliver twist rocks.

we’re watching another movie in english (!!! i swear that’s all we do in there! all our actual work is done at home!) called legend. with tom hanks. it’s really funny cuz his teeth used to be soooo bad…

anyway so far it’s pretty boring. the happy girl runs around and has fun w/ fairies and nice trees and things. and unicorns. yay unicorns. then comes the lord of darkness. or his servants anyway. oh no. what will happen next? hmm…nice happy girl touches unicorn. uh-oh. bad idea. big long symbolic dream-type thing that never really happened. yippee. end of what we’ve seen so far.

and in latin we’re watching jason and the argonauts. we haven’t started yet, but i saw that ages ago. it is sooo bad…and pouch was all like “yeah it has special effects. yay!” and i’m like “oh yah real nice special effects in this one.” *SARCASM ALERT!*

Dear RandomRohanFreak,

I like The Hobbit better than the movies and LOTR. I liked parts of LOTR but the war stuff, (mainly Return of the King) I didn’t really take anything in. It just got sooo boring. The movies are okay. I was mad that they didn’t get the most awesome details right. Like the barrow wights and Tom Bombadil. Or the very end of ROTK when the hobbits fight the men for the Shire. They didn’t put Boromir’s death in the right movie, the didn’t put Shelob in the right movie and I’m a stickler for details. Yes I do like the story that is embedded in too many words, so don’t come mob my house or something like that…please.
(This thing won’t let me indent)
(indent) I hope you have a fabulously wonderful rest of the day.

–Boxty

Oh my gosh, I just read the funniest thing ever!!!!!!! It was by Mark Twain, and I was laughing so hard I could barely keep from screaming. It was aboult James Fenimoore Cooper, and how horrible his writing was. Next time you go to the library, find a book of lesser known Mark Twain works, one with “Fennimore Cooper’s Literary Offences” in it. It’s hillarious, or at least I found it so. Go get it!!!!!

Ding-Ding-a-Ding-a-Dong-Ding-Ding-a-dong-dong-ding-ding-ding-a-dong. And it’s a movie, so no worries there.

no idea what that has to do w/ books and movies either. oh vell.

I just came here because you told me to, Ebeth, no other reason. I need to start reading some books, like Don Quixote. The only problem with Don Quixote is that it’s 900 pages long!!! The longest book I’ve ver read so far was David Copperfeild, with 860 pages. I guess I should get started on that….

I had an idea for a thread, but itwould take a long time to do, would require the dedication and comitment of several Musers, and might be pretty hard to orcestrate. I was just thinking that we could all agree on a book, and then read like a chapter every day, or two days, and then we could discuss each chapter in the thread. If a lot of people agreed to it, it could be done, but it would definitely take a while, and I guess no one else woudl want to do it. It was just a random thought.

If we’re going to have the online book club, we have to agree what the book is going to be (no Harry Potter or magicky books, because my parents won’t let me read those kind of books even if I wanted to) and we have to really commit to reading the chapter a day, or it won’t work. Plus, all of this is assuming the MAPs decide to let us have thread for it, they might decide that an online book club is too involved for MuseBlog, which isn’t meant to be taken serioulsy. We just need to remember that this is all hypothetical.

How many of you have ever seen The Blair Witch Project? It was on tonight and I never watch horror movies, but I decided to watch it anyway, and it was pretty good, just not really scary, and it made me car-sick. I was just wondering if any of you have seen it. Furthermore, have any of you ever read Dave Barry’s description of it? Where he says it looked like someone put a camera on a hyperactve seal’s nose? That was so funny!!!!!!!!!!!

ok i posted this on the nov. thread and realized it was totally in the wrong spot so i’m copying it here.

I’m watching capt. blood and it totally ROCKS!!!!! woohoo! awesome story. and errol flynn is hott. even in black+white. one thing bugged me though cuz it’s called capt. blood, but they didn’t actually get a ship until about an hour in. I kept waiting for the mutiny on the slave ship but no never came. they got across got bought did a few other things and then got a ship. plus i know almost nothing about james II (pb&j???) it’s always cooler when you know the history. but it’s totally AWESOME!!!!!

mousie-ryan is a common name k? you are really obssessed. no diss but you are. THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE NAMED RYAN!!!

i have a boo-boo on my pinky *sniff*

hot glue guns-lots of fun, but OUCH!!!! they hurt.

we were gluing fish onto pjs. don’t ask.

omg mg that was like the road to mars. chairman recommended book somewhere up there. anyhoo i read that and it was like every other word. it was really naughty too. the rest of it was great though. except i hate the ending. oh vell.

my lb’s reading hitchikers guide and it’s DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! i love that book and i love hearing it quoted and all but he is really going too far. I have to keep yelling at him to shut up cuz that’s how he ruined calvin+hobbes for me and i definitely don’t want him messing this up. seriously you will not believe how much he can totally ruin something for you. just by quoting! constantly! all the time! and he always gets little tiny things wrong and then you correct him and then you think “wait that was really sad wasn’t it” and then the way he says it it’s just like “No. not that way. never again. stop it now.

ok i shall stop my rambling now and go complain somewhere else.

why am i the only one posting????????? come on people.

I read a seperate peace last night for english. at midnight. there’s something different about reading books at midnight. it’s different from reading during the day.

tale of two cities and the princess bride are definitely my midnight books. i hardly ever read those in the daytime.

does anybody else do that?

Hi. I am new. Have you ever tried reading books upside-down? Anyway, i love reading at night (and my parents only catch me 50% of the time).

Duncan_Quagmire, DID YOU PREVIOUSLY SAY THAT YOU LIKED EOIN COLFER?!?!

“LIKLIKLIK OMG!” I love Eoin Colfer’s books! I can even read gnommish. (-: I love Artemis Fowl II! I am so absessed, that I even know useless trivia off of the top of my head. Eoin Colfer parachutes, Artemis Fowl drank earl grey tea about 2 times in all of the books; the fourth book has 242 pages,(costing $23.95 in Canada),(I am even not Canadian), AND, Artemsi Fowl II is soooooooo cool.

obssessed is spleled rong. bute thets owkay, wee lik creativ splelers.

the first artemis fowl ROCKED!!! totally. the second one was ok…I didn’t like the third one. haven’t read the fourth one yet. hah i just saw my friend walk by. sry that was random. she lives close to me, so i saw her walk by the window. anyhoo. WHAT???? QUIDDITCH??? They messed up Quidditch AGAIN???!!! DIE FIENDS!!!!!

I haven’t seen that yet but i will come rant some more when I have. actually I’ve seen pretty much the whole movie already. my obssessed lb keeps showing me clips and previews and trailers and pictures and blahblahblah. how was the music? was it any good? it’s not john williams

i finished a tale of 2 cities. again. the night before last i think. maybe before that. ah well. sometime at night anyway. it made me sad. last night i read stalky+co. again. it made me crack up laughing and almost get caught. again. hoom. good stuff. who’s read that one??

I vants to go see hp. basically so i can make fun of them all. i honestly have no hopes at all for this movie. they’ve done 3 already, you’d think they’d get the idea by now but judging from the clips nooooo still clueless. maybe if they stopped switching directors one of them would get the idea. oh vell.

hey artemis fowl do people think ur crazy? cuz i can read dwarvish and people think i’m insane. i sympathize, fellow geek.

yeeeeeeeeeeaaaah i’m procrastinating. why do you ask? ok i should probably go open up microsoft word now. maybe type in my name and all that junk. then i’ll take a little break. don’t want to do too much at once

ok so it was terrible w/details and all. sticking to the book+all that. shameful. how can they sleep at night?

but the main thing was i was actually able to enjoy this as a movie. Yes there’s a long list of what they could have done better, who they could have cast better *coughharryandfleurcough* and on and on but altogether, forgetting about the book, it was actually a decent movie.

I would also like to say that the weasley twins are hott.

I only read the Chronicles of Narnia, which are among my favorite books. The Christian theology is a bit distracting, but in general I love the books. I don’t like The Last Battle, though, because it is uninteresting (to me) and the Dwarves–well, you might not have noticed this, but the Dwarves represent Jews. Just like in LOTR, another of my favorite books. Ah, well. So it goes. (hey Adon Moreh– is there a Hamlet smiley?)
which reminds me. I shouldn’t say Adon Moreh, which literally means “mister teacher”, but instead “Adon Madrich” which means “Mister Guide”. It seems more accurate somehow, and there is no Hebrew word for a webmaster.

I don’t think the Dwarves were meant to represent Jews specifically. I think they were more of a general representation of those who refuse to see God. Some people might include Jews in that category, but I don’t think it was a specific representation. I read it and thought they were just aetheists (sorry if that offends aetheists, but I think that’s what it was supposed to be) who won’t believe in God no matter what.

I think that line is just about anyone who refuses God and thinks that’s the intelligent thing to do. Now maybe C.S. Lewis included Jews in that category, but I don’t think it was specific. I’m also not sure if he included Jews in that category. I haven’t seen anything in his writings that indicates he thought badly about the Jews, but then again I wasn’t looking for it. I think it was just a general allegory.

Listen, MontgomoryGurl, if you want to know about the Chinese, don’t ask the Irish. I never said he was anti Semetic, just that he thought that I’m going to Hell. Quite frankly, you do too (unless I’m much mistaken. You do think I’m going to Hell, right?). I don’t think I’m going to Hell. Jews, as I said before, don’t belive in eternal damnation. The other nations were the animals who rejected Aslan/Jesus, they swarmed around the door, remember? how he was holding the door wide open, but half the animals refused to save themselves? Well, the point was that the Dwarves were in Paradise, they just refused to see it. Look in the records of Chritian/Jewish history, and you’ll find several such referances. MontgomoryGurl, let me just make this clear. I LOVE THE BOOKS. My parents read them to me as bedtime stories when I was litte. Just this teeney, weeney detail bugs me. End of discussion.

Anyway, MontgomoryGurl, can you go to http://www.nationstates.net and make a nation? then go to the region search and type “land of the Muse”, and type the password, “kokopelli”. We’re all Musers here.

in November 24th, 2005 @ 21:26

But a Christian made the Jewish reference, so maybe a Christian would better understand what he believes. I still think it was just a genreal reference, but I’m not a mind reader so I could be wrong.

C.S. Lewis probably did believe you’re going to hell. As a Christian, he believed a lot of people were going to hell. And I have to admit it, I do, too. As I explained it Hot Topics, I think everyone on earth, myself included, deserves to go to hell. I believe God wants to save everyone from that, but they have to believe in His Son, and accept Him. Nothing personal, just my beliefs.

Yeah, we are all Musers. I might check out Nation States. I’m kind of busy right now because my grandparents are coming tomorrow, but it might be fun.

Everyone should go and start a country on Nation States!!!! It doesn’t take much time, it’s random, and you get to control imaginary people. What could be more fun than that? You can pick your own flag, make up your own motto, decide issues however you want to, and just generally be in charge. It’s cool. Everyone should join. Once you join, move your country to land of the Muse to hang out with us. Do it, or MontgomeryGurl, Queen of The Emirate of Egotistical Egomaniacs will hunt you down and force you to participate in mandatory voting, because she wants you to be free wether you do or not. And if you don’t listen to her, then the head of The People’s Republic of Igloomania will make you work quietly at a job, and be lauded for it. You don’t want either of these things to happen, so go make your own country and be the boss!!!!!!!!

ok i saw two movies over thanksgiving go me! movie #1-Pride and prejudice. Not bad for having to compete w/the awesome A&E one. we (as in my mom, my grandma, and i) decided colin firth was a better darcy but we liked keira knightley as elizabeth. A&E was still better of course but we thought it was pretty good. they skipped a lot of the funniest bits though. sad days.

movie #2-the african queen. based on the book by c.s. forester. y’know, the guy that wrote HORNBLOWER!!! WOOT!!! not a bad movie either. pretty funny. veeeerry corny. kinda short. but pretty good movie anyway.

read a lot, but nothing new.

I haven’t read those, RRF. What are they like?
I just finished reading a book that I thought was pretty good but not great — Chasing Vermeer. The story bugged me because the main characters (two kids) solved a mystery by following their hunches and dreams and random ideas. It all seemed so very unlikely that this would work. Still, I must have liked it pretty much because I DID finish reading it.
One thing I liked about it — the story’s illustrations hid clues. You put the clues together and it spelled out a sentence that related to the story.

You probably think it’s weird that I read kids books. Oh well. I read non-kids books too, so I’m not TOTALLY weird. The most recent non-kids book I read was Maigret at the Gai Moulin by Georges Simenon. It’s a murder mystery. I don’t usually read those. Murders upset me. But a friend told me it was good. I can see what she means. It’s written in a telegraphic style. Very elegant. And it gets into the psychology of the characters. So it was interesting. But I don’t think I’ll read any more murder mysteries for a while.

hey do you know about the one w/the insects? somebody wrote a book and there were clues in the illustrations that led to certain places, and if you went there you found a little coin-type thingy that you could trade in for this incredibly expensive glittery bug thingy.

lamuth showed us a clip on that. she said there’s supposed to be another one coming out soon too…

i usually finish whatever i’m reading even if it sucks because i’m weird like that and i WILL waste my time reading books like that. trying desperately to remember some title names but can’t think of any. I know books like that exist though and i’ve read them all the way through just because…

I don’t remember what it was called…i just remember you had to go find the little coin thingys and get the shiny valuable insect. oh yeah and there was a funny clip of a strange lady in a bug costume reading to a bunch of scary midgets *ahem* little kids.

i love frogs.

that was random.

ooh i know how to make a frog that jumps out of paper! it’s cool…

I’m going to see the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in a week. It opens a week from Friday. A local Christian school actually booked the theater for a pre-showing and the first showing so the entire school could go, and they nicely invited any home-schoolers who wanted to come along, because they had extra seats. I’m going to get to see it before it even opens!!!!! Maybe. I might not, because if my brother’s team wins this game they go on to the state championship, which is that day. So if they win I miss the movie. But if they lose everyone at my house is really ticked off. So I really don’t know which one to hope for. JK, I’m always for my brother.

I SAW HORNBLOWER LAST NIGHT!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yaaaaaay! happy days…

and we rented a whole bunch of other movies too so i’ll be ranting on here a lot this weekend.

i watched it with my mom. watching movies with my mom is always interesting. you hear sooo many random funny comments. like this one last night when simpson was beating him up…

mom: why are they doing that? that’s mean!

me: because simpson’s deranged and the rest are afraid of him.

mom: but he’s so CUTE!

me: so? that doesn’t make simpson any less deranged…

mom: oh they’re so mean! i can’t watch this!

my mom says stuff like that a lot “oh i can’t watch this.” but she always stays and watches the rest.

she’s not really as dumb as she sounds there, she just wasn’t paying a lot of attention to the movie. and she likes happy touchy-feely movies where she can cry.

blech.

The Ioan Gruffudd Hornblower, I take it, not the old Gregory Peck version? Did you know that it was made as a series? There are at least two, because I have both of them. I seem to recall a second series, too, so a bit of digging and you can keep your mom weeping and wailing for hours.

And I really hope MontgomeryGurl gets to see LWW. It looks like a good film, as well as being theologically sound. MG, from a moral standpoint, you HAVE to wish for a win for your brother’s team. It’s probably very important to him. But it might be worth just mentioning that if the family wants to celebrate, there’s this great film just released……..

As you can see, I’m kind of split between sadness that my brother’s team didn’t make it to the championship, and delight that I get to see that movie. Delight might win. Oh, I just read PB’s comment, and I know ralize that, morally speaking, I should be devastated. Oh well……

MG, you’re a much better sister than I am. I would be dancing around the room by now. but then my brother doesn’t play football, so i’ve never had the experience of his team almost making the championship…

wait is it football your brother plays or something else? if not, where did i get that? if so, why can i remember stuff like that but never where i put my ipod shuffle? In need of insanity…boris the spider or something. grrr.

hey the book club thing went poof didn’t it? maybe we should do it in the summer or something when people have time…

Actually i think that book is cursed. Nicholas nickleby-i’ve started it 3 times now and never finished it. y’know me? the one who always finishes books even if they suck? and the think is it’s an awesome book! (what i’ve read anyway) so why? i’m gonna start reading that again…and finish it YES! I am a girl with a MISSION!!! I will dissolve the curse! I will banish the evil spells set upon Nicholas nickleby by some random depraved anti-reader! I WILL triumph! The book SHALL BE READ!!!

wow i’ve been ranting for a while haven’t i? i blame my total lack of anything better to do. well actually i have moosic to practice i suppose. hoom.

oh speaking of moosic (this has absolutely nothing to do w/books or movies but whatever) I feel very proud that i can now play jurassic park theme song on my trumpet, using violin music. go me. that song covers my whole range. low g to high c. actually whatever it’s called, the c above the staff. the g below the staff. you may all go ooh aah now.

I just read a book called Rhapsody by somone-I-forget-who (SIFG for future referance). It is a very good and nice book– once you get past the prologue, which is nessesary to the plot but DISGUSTING. Otherwise i like it, but it never explains one thing. In the book, the heroes go through the center of the Earth. it takes 1400 years, and they don’t age, and don’t notice the passage of time. In the middle of the Earth a giant, primordial form of fire is blocking the path, so Rhapsody (main charecter) sings the fire into beliving that they are one with it, and they go through. Anyway, they each get reborn, Rhapsody’s companions are born of Earth, although in differant ways, and Rhapsody is born of Fire. but the whole point of the book is a prophecy (again) in which one is of blood, ONE is of earth, and one is of the sky. does this make sense to you? the one of blood loses his blood power! and Rhapsody can control fire, but the point of the book is that the people who serve Fire are evil. Although she serves star fire, so that is explained, but the whole blood/earth/sky thingie isn’t. Oh, well, just a great book. And here is a summary of the prologue, omitting some stuff, so you don’t have to read it: boy named Gwydion gets taken back in time. Meets girl called Emily. Falls in love. She falls in love with him, which makes no sense as they are both 14. Anyway, they get sort of betrothed and then Gwydion gets taken foward in time again. Finds out that her homeland was destroyed and she was not on one of the ships escaping. Gets mortally depressed.

P.S. A book I’d recommend, if you can find it: The Origin, by Irving Stone. It’s a novel based on the life of Charles Darwin. There’s even a nice love story in it–with Darwin’s wife Emma, who, like some MuseBloggers, had religious problems with his theory of evolution.

It was published in 1980, but libraries might have it.

oooh i saw the old one too. it was soooooooooo funny! my lb and i spent a whole 3 days afterward laughing at it!

The thing w/books and movies like napoleon dynamite, is people rant about it so you go see it expecting this amazing movie and then you go meh. bleh. but what you have to do w/books+movies is go in with no expectation at all. Just don’t even have an opinion. Don’t even say “well this person thinks it’s good” Just wait. and then it’s ok.

I reread a seperate peace last night because A-I was bored B-I couldn’t sleep and C-I have a test on it today.

so i’ll be on tonight ranting about the evil overlord and how evil her tests are. at least i won’t spend time looking through the book for stuff. maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe i can get an a. maaaaaaaaaaaybe. *fingerscrossed*

*sigh* once again people, either you didn’t like napoleon dynamite or you were obssessed. The obssessed people raised everybody’s expectations waaaaaaaay too high. and I promise that is the last time i will say that! Promise promise promise!

well…i can guess i didn’t get an a. the objective was ok, about 25 qs, 10, 15 minutes.

And then…came the EIGHT essay questions. three at least a third of a page (and i’m thinking that was probably too short…), and then there were five obscure quotes to explain which i know i didn’t write enough on. Deep questions too. There. Is. No. Bleepin. Way. I. Got. An. A. (heh…at least i can rhyme!)

still desperately wanting to see the next hornblower. maybe i can run to the library tonight since i’m done w/hw. (at 6:30??!! a miracle!!!! huzzah for tests, extra time in science, and study hall (ok i didn’t really work in study hall either. well. a little bit.)) but knowing my mom, she’ll probably feel really guilty for me and tell me to get going on my project. *sigh* good news on that though, the OSU library has that phineas gage book and she’s gonna take me there to get stuffins. (she can’t check it out for some odd reason that we don’t know, so i have to go there.)

hoom. this is more of a general ramble than a books+movies post. maybe it should be on dec. blizzard. oh vell. i’d better bribe the GAPA…

hey guys…skool book club’s reading the historian over christmas…i’m gonna read it during the insanely long car ride…wheeee.

I wanted to go to the library today and get the next hornblower but noooo, my dad wouldn’t go. (you have to be 16 to check out movies at my library) and then i said “well ok i’ll go and get the historian then” and he was like “no you can’t walk by yourself” i’m like “it’s a whole block and a half!!!!!” but he’s like “noooo”

grr.

so, seeing as i really have nothing better to do (ok that’s a lie-i have a project to do, unless i want to do it over christmas, which i don’t. but..but…the urge to procrastinate rises within me…i will not be able to resist…it is drawing me in…in to the void of nothingness…an empty, wasted life. woohoo! sounds fun. ok sry for the emo moment. where was i anyway? oh yes. ending the parentheses) so anyway i’ll probably watch national treasure again or something. or maybe go read. what would i read? hoom…

ok. books i am reading right now…

barchester towers
stalky+co (yesss yesss precious we always is reading that)
les miserables (another loooong french book. it is the Curse of Getting Into Dumas)
1776 (still! haven’t been reading that much actually..gotta go find it…)
mansfield park

stalky+co and mansfield park are rereads, les mis, 1776, and barchester towers are first time. so come on people, what should i read now?

OR should i watch national treasure?

My happieness is in your hands. Please don’t wreck it.

She was totally believable. All the special effects were great, the animals were all believable. Aslan was well done, and the beavers were incredbily cute. It kept all the main parts, didn’t add in much (though it did compact some parts, cutting out a lot of the time that it took the kids and beavers to make it to Aslan), and it kept all the good lines. It was super good, everyone should go see it.

I guess I was out frolicking last night, if “frolicking” includes seeing the Narnia movie with a bunch of other science writers. (Yes, we travel in packs.) I thought the movie was very good. I won’t say more, because I don’t want to bias the MuseBlog discussion, which I’m eager to read.

I liked “Finding Nemo” a lot, as well as “Toy Story 2” (which I thought was at least ten times as good as the original “Toy Story”).

toy story-the one movie where the sequel doesn’t suck.

unless it’s pre-planned. like a series…star wars or something.

ooh. very frolicky.

i might see it tomorrow. yessss yesssss. we willl! maybe…but no…we will! we WILL!!! we will not let evil people stop us! yessss

guuuuys…been reading stranger in a strange land…got a killer quote for my project yessss.don’t remember exactly what it was. it was like “man is the creature who laughs” or something. the guy was trying to explain exactly what men were. anyhoo. yes. good stuff. i’ll say it dramatically and slowly too. at least five seconds long, maybe i can stretch it to 8. yesssss…not to mention the extreme monty python quoting that will take up plenty of time (no need to memorize. i already know the whole movie! whee!) and it takes a while to say “the prefrontal cortex” too. which i plan on saying a lot. yessss. rant over now.

I loved the movie soooooooooo much. I thought it was really cool how they began it. It was really moving and made you understand the kids and what they were feeling better. The bombs coming down, poor Lucy in bed too scared to move, it was all great. I liked how they had Lucy pull off the sheet from on top of the wardrobe. It was cool how they did that. When Edmund is in jail with Mr. Tumnus, and the whole time we know that Mr. Tumnus saved Lucy and is only in jail because of Edmund, and that look of hurt and confusion he gave Edmund when the witch told him that Edmund turned him in…..it was very affecting. The part where Aslan got killed almost had me crying, mainly because of the Christian symbolism. It was so well done, and the girls acted that scene really well. I loved the whole movie. They did such a good job of making you care about the characters!!!!! I couldn’t stand the thought of poor Mr. Tumnus rotting away.

I just read The Red Tent, and I am FUMING! Well, I read the first half, when my mom found me reading it she practically had an apoplectic fit. If anyone wrote about Christian or Muslim of Bhuddist religion and HISTORY in that horrible, biased way they’d hear something about it! It described the Lord as a “mountain god” who wanted HUMAN SACRIFICE! And it said Judism is Paeganistic and has these nasty rituals and forced marrige and lots of NASTY things.

It just drives me insane. Some people read books like The Red Tent and Queenmaker and take it literally. Let me just clear up a few issues here (I’m on a rool, MG, can’t transfer this now):

1) Judism is MONOTHEISTIC!
2) Jacob was not a pervert.
3) The Lord is the supreme ruler of the world. Not a mountain god.
4) Jews don’t stick woman in red tents to pray to some godess during thier menstrual cycle.
5) Rachel and Leah were a LOT older than 9 when they got married.
And many others. Grr.

started re-reading all the narnia books in Preparation (not that i wouldn’t go see it now before i finished the books if i could) Finished magician’s nephew (yes reading them ALL. in chronological order) and halfway through lww.

read some more of les miserables too. huzzah for long french books. got to whatever it’s called…part 2? book 2? whatever it is…the big sections. the second one. yeah. so far so good. me likez.

haven’t seen any movies lately…but seen clips + behind the scenes stuff…all the random stuff lamuth shows us when we get extra time. saw one about king kong, one about architecture, and one about spongebob squarepants. interesting…

omg and just before the bell rang she skipped ahead to this one part where they interviewed the guy that does the voice, and it was soooo funny cuz he’d just be talking y’know and then he’d like demonstrate something and it seemed soooo weird to see a relatively normal guy doing that strange annoying voice it was soooo hilariously funny!!! yesss!!!

today’s presentations were all about hippies…one about vietnam protest music (whopee we’re all gonna die!!! thought that song was funny in a twisted ironic way. anyhoo…) and one about woodstock.

I just saw Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

WORST.MOVIE.EVER.

There was absolutely no emotion. None. They said “I love you” like “Please pass the salt.” I was really convinced. The only scene where there was the slightest hint of emotion was in one of the last scenes with Obi Won Kenobi.

The whole movie was outrageous, and the dialouge was terrible. I was cracking up the entire time, though. A definite win for Best Comedy.

Pheonix, Rivka was 3 when she got married, and it was to a forty year old man. Things were a bit ‘different’ back then.

it was addicting though. and it can’t possibly be worse then those stupid pern books. they had absolutely no plot, the characters were are the same, and the whole social structure of the dragonriders was based completely on- well never mind. you get the point. they were stupid. all these stupid books are giving dragonriders a bad reputation. lets write some new ones.how come nobody’s rread watership down? except for phonix? oh no, i can’t spell pheonix! phoenix? yes! i think that last one is right. has anybody ever read the great good thing by rodrick towney? i missed 3rd through 7th period today because i had my 1st bicuspid on my right hand side pulled and my impacted 2nd bicuspid on my left side removed and now i have stiches in my mouth and it hurts! oops, that wasn’t related to books. oh well. im reading inkspell now. my friend wont read it because she hated inkheart because she hated corneila funke’s style and she thought that it took to long to get to the climax. which is ridiculous because CF has a great style and climaxes are supposed to come late in the book because otherwise the rest of the book would be boring and it made no sense but oh well. fenglio (cant spell that either) didn’t know his characters very well. he should have gotten to know them while he was writing the book. i talk to my characters all the time. of couse, not while we’re writing. often my main charecter will come over and start hitting me with the script and tell me to fix the plot or whatever.by now you all will think me very weird, but i dont care because that is the definition of a muser: very, or at least slightly weird.

I liked the dragonriders of pern books; they were fairly well written, had a decent plot, characters were fleshed out okay, and only a few chapters per book were.. adult, shall we say…
Eragon, on the other hand, was horribly written, and plagerized- apparently the entire plot was taken from Star Wars, and I think someone on here was saying it took whole sections straight from the Belgariad.. Also, his dialogue was horribly written and a lot of his stuff was redundant- ‘”sorry,” Brom apologized’ (well, duh, he’s apologizing if he’s saying sorry) – and you could tell that it was written by a high schooler, and that is a bad thing. I mean, I have nothing against high schoolers writing books; however, if they’re published, one would expect the writing quality to be above English 1, yes? And it wasn’t even that interesting. And I wasted 20 dollars on buying it when it first came out because everyone else was reading it.. argh..

Well, unless they were worthy, wich dosn’t explain how F’lar got Mnemenanth, or whatever his name was. And if boys can get female dragons (greens) why can’t girls get blues and browns?

paolini is 21. yes, his books were plagerized fron star wars and belariad and lotr and whatever. in the end murtagh will probably kill galbatorix and then die, after having a duel with eragon and then realizing that he doesn’t want to be evil. but his writing level was higher than english one, and apologized is not redundent.

Okay fine, those pern books were good, but i still hated them. i would want to have a male dragon too, but i think the point of matching them up that way was so you could love the person your dragon mated with. but why did some people get perfect lives but brekke’s was really sad? and those dragons were stupid. except ruth. i liked ruth.

why is it that the only people who like popular books are the ones who only read popular books? why do people tell you that a book is really bad right after you tell them you liked it? it makes them feel like they have bad taste. why did this girl tell me she wanted to eat my rabbits right after she spent all this time holding them and saying how cute they were? and then this other girl came in and said her guinea pig had died and everybody started saying that they wanted to eat rabbits too? is it cool now to make people feel bad?

The first and second books were good, although I hated both endings. She suddenly became a Journeywoman after a week? Boys had been there for years and stayed apprentices! I didn’t like the third book. She seemed so distant from the boy (I can’t remember any of their names!), and treated him like a little boy she babysat for extra money. Didn’t seem to me that the JourneyPeople got to much music. All they did was travel.

I know of a girl who got pregnent at thirteen..

And Paolini was 15 when he wrote the first book. And it shows. Badly. Okay, so maybe his writing level was English 2.

Well, F’non was going to fly his brown dragon, so browns are also sort of like bronzes. See, I think it’s fairly evident that the boys who get greens (and also blues) are homosexual; the way the dragons go at the hatching I think is based a lot on personality, and matching the dragons to riders with similar personalities. it was sort of a mutual bond thingy- I forget what it’s called- mutualism? The humans got a transport system and a way to fight the biggest peril their planet would face, and the dragons got someone to care for them or something.. The dragons actually were manufactored from fire lizards to give the humans a weapon to fight Thread with, though, so you could argue that they allowed the humans to ride them and direct them because they were bred to it.. Really, my favorite characters in those books were the Harpers, though…

I GOT THE BELGARIAD FROM THE LIBRARY!!! YAY!!! Well, half of it, anyway… The other half was checked out.

I started Eragon even before I’d read LOTR or the Belgariad or any of that other stuff. Even the writing was terrible. I managed to read approximately 80 pages before throwing it at the wall in despair. THE GUY CANNOT WRITE FANTASY. Or anything is my guess, but that’s just RRF being mean.

If I can write a halfway-done, halfway-decent fantasy only sligtly ripped off from LOTR (in that it has huge battles and elves. Most epic fantasy is slightly ripped off from LOTR, though.), why can’t so many published authors? This cannot be good for the genre in general.

Never read Pern.
What non-fantasy stuff does everyone like? Just curious. I ♥ fantasy, too. Personally, of the non-fantasy stuff, I really like The Outsiders (and S.E. Hinton wrote THAT when she was 15. Paolini’s tender years are not an excuse.) and Speak (goodbookgoodbookgoodbook)(but extremely depressing at the same time)

Male riders with female dragons aren’t homosexual nessesarily, ‘member that guy who stabbed F/nor when his dragon was in heat because there wern’t any women around? You don’t nesssesarily fall in love or whatever wwith the person who rides the other dragon, it is just a…well… you know. And women can’t have male dragons b/c of Kitty Ping, who made it so that woman had to have queens, triggering the sexism of Pern. I might like a white dragon, but maybe next brown or blue, actually.

I like Jane Austen too, especially Pride and Prejudice. Lately I’ve been reading an author who reminds me of Jane Austen — Georgette Heyer. She writes like Austen (even though she’s a 20th century author) but the stories are a little more lighthearted. Her books have the reputation of being just trashy fluff — she invented the “regency romance” genre. But it’s not true. “Fustian nonsense,” as Heyer’s characters would say. The books are not just fluff. If they are, they’re great fluff!

I think i will dissapear for a few days. :cry:[a bizillion more crying smilys pre-omitted because i didn’t have enough time to write them]

OMG it is amazingly funny that you mention the pern books (even if it was a while ago) cuz i y’know i was in florida all that time and Nana just gave me ALL those books!!! YAY!!! anyhoo, she has really bad eyes so she needs large print books so she gave me a whole bunch. I LOVE the harpers. I ♥ robinton. i’m reading the masterharper of pern book right now (yes out of order but it is a prequel anyway. sort of a side book.)

anyhoo. the belgariad ROCKS! and so does les miserables, which i was reading before i was interrupted by a sudden pern craze due to an amazing amount of books suddenly in my hands (they are really good books though too!!!!) yes i know i’m rambling. actually a list of my multi tasking…

typing these rambles
talking about how my dad sounds like the pilsbury doughboy when he says “whee” like that
watching commercials (and a strange movie about santa’s son getting married. y’know, the whole “find mrs. clause” type thing. i’m saying y’know WAY too much now. baaad habit. grr. y’know?)
telling my mom that i’m getting off soon
still reassuring my mom that i’m not going to spend the whole night on the computer.

bye!

*coughs delicately* Um, this might be weird, but could people stop using the word “queer” to mean strange or odd? It’s got so many….other…meanings now, it throws me for a loop every time I see it. Maybe we could say odd, strange, bizarre, or distinctive. Sorry, maybe I’m just a freak with a sick mind, but it does bother me.

if aeiou helps me with my computer then i will say that she is cool, but she most definitely does not pwn pwt.

pwt is so underrepresented! he’s always depicted as scared or stupid in those koko & co. comics! and he wasn’t even in attack of the smart pies! even bo was in that. grrrrrrr its so not fair. we need to write a letter to mr gonick telling him that we will stage a protest if pwt is not in the next one. we need a pwt pwns thread to honor pwt!

saw part 1 of gone w/the wind. we decided not to stay up late and watch the rest. well mom did anyway, and she sent us off to bed. the result is that i’ve listened to spamalot again, gotten over halfway through in inkspell, and lost a couple games of solitare. what fun.

Inkspell-pretty good. I like it better than Inkheart, but not by much. I ♥ dustfinger, as always. Elinor’s not in inkworld yet though. *sniff* I ♥ elinor, she’s so funny. i thought the meggie/farid thing was obvious from inkheart, no suprises there. dustfinger married-now that’s a suprise. doesn’t seem like him. but roxanne’s pretty cool.

gone w/the wind-well i read the book. somewhere waaay up in the comments…aaah can’t find it. i think i talked about it somewhere though. So the movie-only saw the first part, like i said. Wow that’s a good movie. Really close to the book. Probably why it’s four hours long I like part 1 better than part 2 in the book. i dunno if it’ll be the same in the movie. probably will. Oh yes and i saw who clark gable was. cuz i’ve heard all about him and stuff but i’ve never actually seen a movie of his. And then i see the credits at the beginning Rhett Butler……..Clark Gable and i think oh cool i can finally see who this guy is. and then i see him and i’m like woooow. that’s clark gable? nothing against him, but it wasn’t what i expected at all.

Oooooooh yes and The Historian. I can’t find that book anywhere!!! I’m reading it for book club (or trying to anyway) and i don’t want to buy it but everybody in the whole world is reading that! It’s insane!! i’ve been to every library around here and they all have at least three copies with super long waiting lists. My dad signed us up ages ago and we get it in 2 days. so i’ll have that book to rant about soon. yess. oooh and we get to choose books for next semester friday woohoo! (the fri. after i get back i mean) yaaaay.

“…westley and i are joined by the bonds of love, and you cannot trace that, not with a thousand bloodhounds. and you cannot break it, no with a thousand swords. and when i say you are a coward, it is only because you are the-” oh dear, i have forgotten the rest. a little help here please? i luv the princess bride.

“I would not say such things if i were you!!!”

aaaw end of scene. now i have no excuse for further quoting. *pout* plus it’d probably be too long…*sulk*

So yeah. Laugh at us if you want, but i blow the turtlerina in your face with the musical notes that i don’t know how to make…who wants to enlighten me? how do you make music notes on here?

I just saw Memoirs of a Geisha, too. I thought it was only okay. The accents drove me up the wall, though. Really, it should have been in Chinese (or Japanese, but I’m not that picky). They made it seem all Americanized, which was kind of sad, because I didn’t get that feeling from the book at all.

been reading the mammoth book of literary anecdotes. got it for christmas. some funny stuff in there! i ♥ twain always. there was a really funny one of his in there that i’d never read before where he sold somebody else’s dog and got paid to bring it back again. and then at the end was the quote (which i had heard before but had no idea what it went to) “Now, that is the tale. Some of it is true.”

another thing that was amazing was the number of them on drugs. *shudder* yeah anyway i’ve only read a couple sections so far so you people’ll be hearing menny mor rants on this stuff. really cool stuff. yaaay.

:ahem Japanese ahem: XD Naw, but I understand, since they got mostly Chinese actors for the women. I loved the lady who did Hatsumomo, she was great.

The book/movie was made by Americans, so, you know it can never be enitirely true. I think it was awesome for what it was, but can a story about geisha ever becompletely true to what it is? The world is a secret one, as they said, and I’m sure very few geisha/geiko/maiko are willing to tell.

It’s hard to expalin what the movie is about without typing more than I want to right now, but it’s exactly what the title says: Memoirs of a Geisha.

Hello once more.
If there’s a contest for longest blog entries, I’m probably the current champion. But I doubt it, so let’s get down to business.
Those of you who go to the ideas/requests section often, will know that I am fighting hard to get the Muse makers to create a live action film based on Kokopelli and Company in Attack of the Smart Pies.
So here’s a sample of my script idea.
(It would help the fight if other bloggers posted their own)
SCENE NUMBER ONE
1. THE CAR CRASH

THE THEME MUSIC (NOT SONG) PLAYS ON A BLACK BACKROUND, AS THE TITLES SPLAT LIKE PIES ONTO THE BLACK SCREEN

JIM CARRY

TIM CURRY

(WHOEVER PLAYS EMMA)

WE OPEN TO A SHOT OF AM INTERSECTION SHOWN FROM ABOVE

GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS IN THE BACKROUND

A SHINY GREEN FORD ZOOMS TOWARDS THE CAMERA

THE SAME GREEN FORD IS SHOWN FROM THE SIDE, ZOOMING DOWN THE ROAD

THE INTERSECTION IS SHOWN AGAIN

A BRICK TRUCK IS SHOWN SPEEDING TOWARDS THE CAMERA

THE GREEN FORD

THE NEXT SHOT SHOWS A BABY GIRL IN HER CARSEAT, LOOKING VERY HAPPY

UKNOWN FEMALE VOICE: “HOW’S MY LITTLE EMMA?”

EMMA COO’S

THE INTERSECTION IS SHOWN AGAIN

THE GREEN FORD STOPS AT THE INTERSECTION

THE BRICK TRUCK IS SHOWN AGAIN

THE NEXT SHOT SHOWS A SHINY BLACK CAR SWERVING OUT OF CONTROL RIGHT BEHIND THE GREEN FORD

THE DRIVER (WHO’S FACE IS NOT SHOWN) SLAMS ON THE BRAKES, BUT IT IS TO LATE

THE BLACK CAR SMASHES INTO THE REAR OF THE GREEN FORD, SENDING IT HEAD FIRST INTO THE INTERSECTION

THE BRICK TRUCK SMASHES INTO THE FRONT END OF THE FORD FROM THE SIDE

THE SCREEN GOES BLACK
(PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WHOLE TIME THIS IS HAPPENING, THE THEME MUSIC SHOULD BE PLAYING IN A DRAMATIC WAY)

THE NEXT SHOT IS VERY SCARY, AND SHOWS TWO STRETCHERS BIENG WHEELED AWAY, WITH BODY BAGS ON THEM

EMMA IS CRYING
(SAD MUSIC STARTS PLAYING)

A WOMAN IN A WHITE COAT IS HOLDING HER

A POLICE OFFICER WALKS UP TO HER

HE PULLS OUT HIS BAGE

OFFICER: “SERGENT KEYSTONE.”

WHITE COAT WOMAN: “HOW DO YOU DO?”

KEYSTONE: “GOOD. WE’RE GOING TO CATCH THE SCUM WHO DID THIS. MARK MY WORDS. IN THE MEANTIME, SOMEONE HAD BEST FIND A HOME FOR THAT POOR GIRL.”

WHITE COAT WOMAN: “YES.”

THE INTERSECTION IS SHOWN FROM ABOVE AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH AMBULANCES AND POLICE CARS, AND FLASHING RED LIGHTS

THE CAMERA ZOOMS OUT IN A DRAMATIC HELICOPTER SHOT
(DRAMATIC VERSION OF THEME PLAYS)

TITLE: KOKOPELLI AND COMPANY

THE SCREEN GOES BLACK AGAIN

I’m going to wait till I’ve seen at least three comments on my script idea, before I write anything more.

And in the meantime, please send in your own

I can post some of the Muse Musical (title unknown so far) if you want. It’s not all finished, though. I’ve been terribly remiss in fixing it, but most of the parts are rather good.

I like the movie so far. What’s the theme song? “Up In The Air Junior Birdmen”? “The Brothers Karamazov Cha-Cha?” You’ll have people helplessly cachinnating if we choose something like, oh, I don’t know, “Burning Down The House”. Rolling in the aisles, helpless with mirth.

well anyway, we saw duma yesterday…cheeeeeeeesy. standard boy-meets-aminal-become-friends-go-on-a-journey-aminal-goes-wild-boy-learns-from-aminal. yes it is now “aminal” but it was pretty good for what it was. cheetahs rock yes they do.

we also rented the next hornblower movie and tale of two cities yay. and we might go see walk the line sometime soon too.

books…re-reading mostly. kept reading all the stuff i was reading before christmas…finished most of my christmas books i think. except for one series, the cat detective one. yeah, fun stuff.
