where it all began

""There's a certain poetic symmetry to the idea that the hero's journey is a circular one, and indeed, returning home for the final showdown is often referred to as "coming full circle." It also reminds the audience (and the hero, who may take a moment to reminisce) how much the hero has grown since the last time we were here."


I love TVTropes.org for this paragraph. Beware, addictive site.

Two self-proclaimed graffiti “artistes” were arrested last night by the City’s militia when they were apprehended in the process of decorating the walls of Casa Mariposa with the slogans: “Birdies Go Home” and “Cierra Azota”. This last commentary referring, of course, to the traitor Azota Brakespeare, also called the Butcher Brakespeare, who was executed by our Huitzil friends with good cause some fifteen years ago. As they were hauled away, the graffitos were heard to cry out seditious comments on the role that Lord Axacaya played in the Butcher’s execution, and rude reflections on the Warlord’s otherwise undisputed manliness.

Something from the "official website" of my new favourite book series, the Flora Trilogy as it's been called. Apparently a news article from the local newspaper in Califa. 

Oh, I love this woman. "Undisputed manliness"! This book has the (second behind Artemis Fowl) best implied humour ever. But the humour is nothing next to the pretty, awe-inspiring, glorious backdrops! If anything NEEDS to be made into a movie, it's this. Just so we can see the scenes, so imaginative and so vivid and so poetically pretty. YES.

Okay, I just caught onto this TV series called Monster Allergy (gah, yes) that's meant for ten-year-olds, and has been showing for quite a while now.

I admit it...I think Zick and Elena are like the cutest couple ever. EVER. Even more so than Zemyx.


What's wrong with me.
