Movie....Thursday? Scott Pilgrim

Sorry about not posting on Monday, we had our Volunteer Appreciate Lunch and I also had to return the indoor planetarium to the Lunar and Planetary Institute, after that the day just seemed to fly by!

Anyway, I'm really excited about this movie coming out on August 13. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is directed by one of my favorite directors, Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced) and stars the usually hilarious Michael Cera.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is based on a series of graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley about a 25 year old slacker named Scott Pilgrim and his exploits/adventures with his band, his roommate, the new girl he's seeing and her 7 Evil Exes that he must battle in order to date her.

These are young adult books that lean a little more into the 'adult' of young adult, and the movie is rated PG-13. I know that's fine for most of my readers, but I wanted to put a little disclaimer here just in case, if you're not old enough or don't have permission from parents wait a few years until you are old enough/have permission. It's totally worth the wait.

Anyway, here's a link to Bryan Lee O'Malley's site: http://www.scottpilgrim.com/

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the second time around

Sirius Black's Wanted Poster Title/Year originally published: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/1999 When I originally read it: 1999, I believe I got it for Christmas… What I thought of it then: When I first read this book I thought parts of it were the saddest things I’d ever read. When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Raven Cycle Fan Art!

So. The inimitable Maggie Stiefvater created a deck of tarot cards based on her Raven Cyle series and she's holding a contest to give away 10 decks of them. Keith decided he couldn't do anything worthy but he thought I could. Since I'd just completed a project using acorns, I thought: "Hey, I could make The Acorn Boys!" And Keith's response was: "You were put on this earth to make Acorn Boys." And so, I present to you, The Acorn Boys based on The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. First we have our heroine Blue Sargent, daughter of psychics but no psychic herself. She reminds her mom of the Page of Cups and gets called Blue Lily by a crazy lady (I chose a Calla lily because I like them better than the other kind, plus I love Calla). She is known for her DIY style and short, dark hair. I made up the rest of her face because there isn't a ton of description about it, but we know she's tiny because she didn't eat her vegetables. ...
