Yeah...so I haven't written here for a while. Might as well post something! So...what's gonna on?
Well, I was recently introduced to the card game Magic: The Gathering, and I have to say, it is so much better than Yu-Gi-Oh (or Duel Monsters, if you prefer to call it that).
I really like it, and I sort of want to teach more people how to play (such as my friends from school), since I have two decks now. Or maybe I'll find other nerds at school who play the game, and I'll have someone to play Magic with other than Heidi.
This is one of the reasons I'm anticipating the return of school. I'll get to see my friends, and I'll have new teachers and a new schedule! Well, maybe not completely new teachers. Some seventh grade teachers might be doubling up for eighth grade too, due to the recent budget cuts.
Ooh, not to mention my golden birthday. Yeah, it's way far away in October, but still. Two things I really want to put on my list: How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster (a clever and very awesome book on literature and symbolism), and the Starship: A Starkid Production DVD, which can only be bought by ordering it off the Starkid website.
Starship is a sci-fi musical comedy by a theater group called Starkid, that started out in Michigan, but later moved to Chicago. The show performed in February, and then it was posted to Youtube in April. Starkid is also the same group of actors who did A Very Potter Musical/Sequel, which I have also taken a great liking to.Starship is my favorite musical. Ever. The music and talent and musical talent and the creativity is just totally awesome. Basically, it's about a bug named Bug on a far-off planet, and he dreams of being a starship ranger, an elite group of humans that traverses the galaxy in search of strange new worlds.
Anyway, I've been listening to the soundtrack for that a lot. I'm also reading a bunch of books, including Eat Pray Love, which I like very much so far. Italy is just so interesting! My interest to learn Italian has been rekindled, after the last several months of not bothering to pick up Italian: Step-by-Step.
So, anyone reading any good books lately? Learn new games, watch new movies/musicals?
