Mastiff

I'm sorry for not posting, but time seems to be so short at hand now. There's spoiler code in this post, so just highlight the blacked-out bits with your mouse to read them.

At any rate, I just finished Tamora Pierce's Mastiff Beka Cooper #3. I nearly cried at the end. I can't believe it's over.

So Beka and Tunstall end up going on this huge Hunt to save Prince Gareth, the King's four-year-old son, who's been kidnapped. She and Tunstall join forces with Lady Sabine and a mage named Farmer Cape. They travel all across Tortall, fighting for every step. But then, oh it's terrible! TUNSTALL TAKES A BRIBE!! Seriously. I was like "Tunstall, you sarden looby, what in Mithros' name are you doing?! You're being a total coney! A crooked Dog! A gods' fool, cracknob, scutty, mumpin', new Tom! You need to get your fambles back where they belong afore you get bit! I thought it wasn't for real, that they were smarter than that. And then the sarden looby betrays them all to Prince Baird's men! The end, oh, the end was so tragic! Beka figures the whole thing out and- I'm going to cry- Tunstall attacks her. He says he doesn't want to, but if need be he'll push her over the cliff. Beka asks why he did it, and Tunstall says he did it because they promised him a barony and the Lord Provost's spot. He thought that way he could marry Sabine without her having to be disgraced for marrying a commoner. OH MITHROS! This is beyond Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde, Aragorn and Arwen, Snape and Lily. *Cries.* Oh, Tunstall, why did you do it? You know she still loved you! You betrayed her! And then, at the end, Beka talks to Goodwin. All that's mentioned of Goodwin is she had a "chill voice." How she must have suffered.

Don't let that get in your way of reading it. This is one of the best books I've ever read. I LOVE IT!!!!

*Cries some more.*

But I still love it. I still love him.

Computers.

I now have my school computer, so- hopefully- I'll post more often.
Just a quick bit, here's what my teachers said about their classes.

Chemistry- "It's going to be glorious. Chemistry is all about linebackers, farts, and burps."

Biology- "Someone needs to say something! Anything! What's your favorite candy? Someone?"

British Literature- "This class is hard. You need to read books. No Markert- Harry Potter does NOT count as British Literature. Yes, the Hobbit is fine."

French- "Hello, I want Techworld. My class can't get online, heeeeelp."

That was about the extent of my day. Haha.

I don't hate the wizard quite as much now.

So the Wizard of Oz is finally over. I think I'm glad. It was one of those fun-but-time-consuming things. Now I just have work, school, and tennis, which is nice(r). I'll show some photos later, but I'm not really feeling to into it right now.
I'm starting a new idea on my other blog; publishing little vignette things. I'll give them all labels by genre, so when NaNo comes around again I can look up ideas.

Ooh, one other thing. Is it just me or do Sigourney Weaver and Mary McDonnell look very similar?

Mary McDonnell

Sigourney Weaver

Silver Spanx

So today we we rehearsing Act 2 of the Wizard of Oz. I hate the Wizard of Oz. Don't ask why I signed up for it. The musical is actually pretty fun though. At any rate, the dancers were doing the Jitterbug scene. I saw Beka doing her part in black sweatpants. They were actually the same design Josie had been wearing, black with green pockets and purple sequins. And then, I guess I looked away, because when I saw Beka again, she wasn't wearing pants. She was wearing silver spanx. I thought she had changed behind one of the fake bushes onstage. It was pretty funny.
At tennis, my partner, Marie, was wearing this black hoodie with squares all over. Our coach practically passed out from excitement when he saw it.
Brandt: Is that Lulu Lemon?!
Marie: Um...
Brandt: I bet it is!
He ran over and pulled up her collar to read the tag. And all the while Marie is just standing there, totally surprised.
Marie: Um... I think it's Burton.
Brandt: Ah. Well, it's cut just like Lulu Lemon.
Marie: What's Lulu Lemon?
Brandt: Only like the best kind of sportswear EVER!
It was a pretty good day. I had fun. And that's all that counts, right? No, just kidding. But in the words of Doug Blough "Don’t take life too seriously; you’re never gonna come out of it alive anyways."
:) Keep it real.
