This Book.

So, this book. It's really trippy. There are these weird doodles on almost every page. They show up more and more as you get further into the book. I guess it's supposed to make it seem more like a journal? I don't know. The doodles don't even look like Greek Mythology.
I also have noticed more and more poetry in each chapter. I like it a lot. They're kinda like sonnets. It pleases me.

How Romantic

So, there's totally some romance picking up between Ovid and some girl. BUT SHE DOESN'T HAVE A MYTHOLOGICAL NAME. So, I doubt things will work out between them.
I also found out Ovid is a killer artist. And he makes these weird paintings of a boy in a cage that transforms into a wolf. It creeps me out.

Dang Ovid, you got it going on

So, I've gotten half way through the book- it's super fly.
I've learned that Ovid's sister ran away somewhere. I think it has been implied that she was a drug addict. Then again, this book is like a drug- IT'S SO GOOD.
I haven't blogged because The Things They Carried took a long time. It ate away my computer time.
I think English teachers should read this book because the whole story is an allegory for Greek Mythology. Pretty bomb.

Why, hello Blog

I have not written a blog post since November 30th. That is not good for my grade... shoot.

Well, I stopped reading Sailor Moon. Because I saw every episode growing up, I knew what happened in each chapter and I got easily bored with it. So, I started a new book. It is called "Metamorphosis" By Betsy Franco (James Franco's mom!)

The book is a journal of a boy named Ovid, named after the roman poet. His journal is mainly him documenting the lives of his classmates, but as the characters of Roman mythology. It's also filled with poetry and cool doodles.
In the first two chapters he explains that his journal is kept safely under his mattress in hopes of his parents never finding it. He explains that his parents try to run his life and complain about his lack of social interaction. Pretty much the same intro to any other Young Adult novel. But hopefully this one is different. I mean, the main character is named Ovid, so obviously it's going to be interesting.

This book... Deja Vu

Welcome readers,
So, I entered chapter 3 of this book. They introduced a new Sailor Scout, Sailor Mars, to the book. But here's the catch; they do this every chapter. Every chapter is introducing a new Sailor Scout. WHERE'S THE VARIETY? And I already know the general premise of each chapter because I watched the show growing up. The only difference is the book is a little more scandalous. It's a little less... child-friendly?
Reading this book is just a giant feeling of Deja Vu. It's not as fun as I thought it would be.

Sailor Mooooon

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Thought I'd get that out there.

So, further into Sailor Moon.

After Usagi battles her first demon, she is exhausted and terrified... until she finds Ami. Ami is the smartest girl in school. Usagi finds Ami while walking to school, when her talking cat, Luna, jumps into Ami's arms. Usagi and Ami quickly become friends, but Ami has no time for fun- she's got to study hard. Eventually, Usagi finds out about a program for geniuses called The Crystal Seminar and Ami, of course, is a part of it.
Now this whole Crystal Seminar business is super creepy. They make the students sit on computers for around, oh I don't know, a million years. It's pretty much a brainwashing system. Usagi finds this out from a flyer about the seminar. She freaks out, crumples up the flyer and throws it behind her, hitting the face of a fairly attractive guy who always shows up everywhere she goes. He constantly calls Usagi names like "Meatball-head" or "Buns" in reference to the giant hair buns on top of her head.
Anyway, Usagi shows up to this corrupt seminar and changes into Sailor Moon to save all these poor, unfortunate souls who have been brainwashed. The first person she gets out is Ami. With the help of Luna, Ami changes into a sailor scout- Sailor Mercury. They kick some major butt and defeat the headmaster of The Crystal Seminar program.
As they are kicking butt, a young man in a tuxedo shows up and helps out. He is obviously the boy who calls Usagi "Meatball-head". He has mentioned before that his name is "Tuxedo Mask." He is sexy. I want to marry him. He and Sailor Moon make a really good team, but I don't think Usagi knows that Tuxedo Mask is the guy that calls her "Meatball-head." It's obvious they are going to end up together, even though he belongs to me.
The book is quite good so far. Way more interesting than the TV show. I hope they'll have the whole series in print in English soon. I'd totally dig that.

Read it. It's the bomb-diggity, like Tick-Tick-BOOM!
