Clone Wars

So I've recently started watching the Clone Wars. It's a great show. I've seen only eight episodes, but I LOVE them, seriously. So Ahsoka has been promoted to my first favorite character in the Star Wars universe, then Siri, Obi-Wan, Darra, Anakin...the list goes on and on, actually. I just watched an episode...the one where Ahsoka is put on guard duty in the archives (because a mistake she made on the battlefield) and she catches that changeling who is helping Cad Bane (or Cod Brain, as I think of him)sneak into the Jedi Temple. That episode left me hanging. Erg!!! I hate it when shows do that. Remind me NEVER to do that in a book...it drives me insane.

In other news, I cannot WAIT for several things including The Lost Hero coming out October twelfth, and the HP 7 movie coming out November nineteenth! Both look SO good!!!! For you other HP fans out there who classify people based off of what house they would be in, I'm a Ravenclaw. Any other Ravenclaws out there? I think it's kind of funny how we HP fans take this so seriously and can even make friends based on who would be in there house at Hogwarts. Just the other day I was at a friend's party, and a distant friend of mine, who also LOVES Harry Potter, commented how the yellow-and-black streamers made the living room look like the Hufflepuff common room after they won a Quidditch match. "Not that I'm a Hufflepuff," she added. "I'm a..." "Ravenclaw," we both said at the same time, then laughed and slapped high-fives. Funny, I thought I was the only Ravenclaw at my school (most, less loyal fans, prefer to imagine they are in Gryffindor because that is the house Harry is in). Oh, and if anyone knows where I can get a Ravenclaw book bag big enough to fit about seven binders, tell me, please!!!

Lost Hero is going to be great, I can't wait for that either, although I'm not as physicked about it as there aren't as many frequent commercials...in fact, I'm probably the only one at my school who knows about it (it is a very small school, after all).

And lastly, I apologize for all the spelling mistakes in my previous entries, they have been brought to my attention, but as my spelling is so bad I made the mistakes in the first place, I don't know where they are and have to wait for further help before I can correct them. Oh, well! :) Sorry!

Sorcerer's Apprentice=Awesome!!!!

I saw the Sorcerer's Apprentice at 11:00 am today and it was SOSOSOSOSOSOSO good!!! Totally awesome! I've been saying for a while now that it was the perfect blend of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and Star Wars, and I was 100% right! And for those of you who may disagree with me (about the Star Wars bit) here is a line that may change your mind:
Maxim: You don't need to see my faculty identification
Guard Dude: I don't need to see your faculty identification
I knew at that minute that that was a rip off of Jedi Mind Tricks, but this next line just proved it
Evil Apprentice Dude: Haha "These are not the driods you are looking for."
As any deticated Star Wars fan can tell you, that is a line from Star Wars episode 4, when Obi-Wan uses a Jedi Mind Trick to confuse the stormtroopers.

Anyways, the movie was totally great, and has become my favorite movie of all time. It was awesome and funny and mixed the three series I am obsessed with without making seem like they were *totally* ripping off PJO, HP and SW. My fav character was Balthizar; he reminded me a lot of Obi-Wan in many, many ways. First off, he's got an unobidiant, super powerful apprentice. Second he has a hilarious yet somewhat strange sense of humor. And third...I don't know. He just has that Obi-Wan-ish-ness about him. Strange, I know, but true.

Well, I'm rambling now. So I'll get on to the point. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is the best movie I've ever seen. It mixes ancient magic and a modern setting the way nothing else, not even Percy Jackson, has. If you are debating going to see this movie, SEE IT, because it is so totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I guess I found something else to obsess over. Add it to the list. :)

Star Wars-ness

I'm still in my Star Wars phase. I'm boardering on obsessive with this. On a scale from one to ten, one meaning I don't like Star Wars and 10 meaning I'm a rabidly fanatical fan, I'm pretty much a nine.

Anyways, on the subject of Star Wars, today I watched Star Wars episode II. It's by far my favorite of the movies. I love the scene where Anikan and Obi-Wan are chasing Zam Weasle through Coruscant. They say so many funny things in that scene. My favorite:
Obi-Wan: Pull up, Anakin! PULL UP!
Anikan: *laughs*
Obi-Wan: You know I don't like it when you do that.
Anikan: Sorry, Master, I forgot you don't like flying.
Obi-Wan: I don't mind flying; what you're doing is suicide!

And of course, later we learn that Obi-Wan was lying. He HATES flying.

Obi-Wan: *trying to avoid blasterfire* This is why I hate flying!!!

My favorite line in the whole movie, though, has to be when Anakin, Padme, and Obi-Wan are in the arena.

Anakin: I re-transmitted your message exactly as you instructed, Master...And then we decided to go rescue you.
Obi-Wan: *looks up at chains on hands* Good job.

I am aware that by now you probably think I'm a totally geek. Really, I'm not. But when I like something, I REALLY like it.

In more Star Wars news, I read the last Jedi Quest, which rocked...although Anakin started to creep me out, so I demoted him to fifth-favorite-character, after Siri, Darra, Obi-Wan, and Soara. After all, he *SPOILER ALERT* left Darra to die! She was like one of his best friends! And then, when Tru got in trouble, he didn't tell Obi-Wan that he had known about the malfunctioning lightsaber and could have fixed it properly. That really lacks character. Not to mention, he completely cut himself off from everyone except Obi-Wan, and, as we all know, he cuts himself off from Obi-Wan in the second and third movies.

Speaking of the movies (again) What are your favorite characters (in the movies, not the books)? Comment, please! My favorite character in all the movies is Obi-Wan. It used to kind of be a tie between him and Anakin, but no longer. Not only am I mad at Anakin at the moment, but I also decided that Obi-Wan is way cooler.

And finally, to wrap up my post of Star Wars-ness, I read the first book in another Jedi series, "Young Jedi Knights." I didn't like it much. It's about Leia and Han's twin children, Jacen and Jaina. They're training to be Jedi in Luke's new Jedi Academy. Personally, I think that the first Jedi Order was a lot better. This new Jedi Academy is basically a regular school. There are no younglings or Padawans, no Master/Apprentice teams. It's just everyone in a giant lecture hall. And not all of the students are Force-sensitive! I'm pretty sure--no, positive--that you have to be Force-sensitive to be a Jedi. Oh well.

P.S. I can't wait to see the new movie, The Sorcerer's Aprentice! It mixes everything I love--magic, Disney, hot boys (JK), and, yes, Star Wars. I mean seriously. Whenever I see the commercial I say to myself "take out 'sorcerer,' enter 'Jedi' here." It totally fits! Next time you see the commercial, try it!

P.P.S If you have a problem with all the Star Wars referances, just stop reading this blog. In the future there will be more Star Wars referances, as well as signs of my obsessiveness towards Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, too. If you don't have a problem with it, PLEASE subscribe to me! Thanks! :)

The Library and New Cover

So, I got the volunteering spot at the library! Yay! I get to work in the kids section. And yes, after my volunteer orientation, I did actually get another Jedi Quest book, The False Peace. It was really great. I still can't find 3, 4, 7, or 8. The False Peace is number nine. It was great, one of the best Jedi Quests (my personal favs are number 2 and number 5). Anyways, as you dedicated Percy Fans know, Lost Hero is indeed coming out in October, and the cover is up on Rick Riordan's blog, Myth and Mystery! Apparently Mr. Riordan is trying to get Kane Chronicle books out every spring, and Heroes of Olympus every fall. Yes! This means I shall be steadily supplied with good books! The first two chapters of Lost Hero are amazing; I can't wait for the rest!!!

In other news, the other day I got twenty page views of my Home of the Olympians site! Thanks, viewers!

And please, if there is ANYONE out there reading this blog, please follow me!
(and if the viewers of my Home of the Olympians site are reading this, please comment on both my blog on the website and this blog. Thanks for viewing my site!)

Heroes of Olympus coming this October!!!

For those of you who were at the BEA event last month, you got the password to the new Heroes of Olympus site! The first two chapters can be read there. I am personally sooo excited!!! Anyways, I have a new Percy Jackson fan site: homeoftheolympians.weebly.com Also, lately I've been going through a Star Wars phase. My bro loves SW, but I didn't get into the series until I read the Jedi Quest books! I've read books 1, 2, 5, and 6. And, no, I'm not a Star Wars geek. Well, okay, I did write a Star Wars fanfic...but that proves NOTHING! Well, I gotta go (to the library, to get more Star Wars books--kidding, I'm applying to volunteer there. Bye!
