Super Powers For the Win

So I finished watching Sherlock this week, it was pretty darn amazing. I can't wait for more. I've also been reading a bit this week. I found this lovely book in our school library called A Map of the Known World by Lisa Ann Sandell. It was very touching and had a lot of good meaning in it. Be warned though it is quite a tear jerker, or at least it was for me.

I've also been really enjoying my art class so far, I'm glad I decided to take it. Especially because I already know that calculus is going to be difficult for me. I just wish my schedule would have allowed me to take art all through high school. Darn math or science always got in the way.

Since it's a long weekend for us my family is going to Thunder Bay and I'm hoping to go to the theatres to see Chronicle. I've been wanting to go see it for a while now. Campion I really liked your review; I also really enjoy super hero movies (and books) so that was part of the reason why I've been eager to see it.

I'd never really thought too much about the fact that there are different types of Irish accents, but it makes sense seeing as there are also different Canadian accents. I'm pretty sure I have a sort of more rural Canadian accent since I've lived in a small town my whole life, but honestly I can't really tell. Actually now that I think about it I think I have a blend of Canadian and American (I probably picked it up from the TV). In terms of the most stereotypical Canadian things to say: I do say "eh," I say "zee" not "zed," and I say "about" not "aboot" ("aboot" is really more of a Maritime thing).

I've seen Captain America a couple of times so I'm not sure what you don't understand about the ending, but I can explain it a bit. Spoilers ahead for those of you who haven't seen the movie yet. Basically Steve Rogers (Captain America) crashed a plane in the Arctic to stop the bombs on board from causing any damage to America. He ended up frozen there for like 70 years before the military finds him again. They set up this whole thing to make it seem as though it's still back in the 1940s so that it's not a huge shock for him, but he finds out it isn't, freaks out, and runs outside into the modern world. And that's basically it. Oh, and obviously he didn't age or die or whatever because he's Captain America so he can do that I guess.

Oh my gosh Kira, I haven't heard anyone mention Animorphs for years. I didn't ever read all that many of them, just a couple, but my sister was really into them so she would always tell me about them. I always liked the covers though. And I think I remember seeing a few episodes from the TV show. The animorph power is really cool in my opinion.
