Response to The Fat and Furry

2008-04-09T17:09:46-04:00

At the deblog my mother admits her true desire to have fur.... I always knew she was odd but I never knew she wanted to be furry.... Well anyway, here are some reasons why not to have fur.

1. Fur = flea, flea = owie

2. skin is easier to clean then fur

3. which would you rather hug?

I was thinking....

The other day in bed I was thinking about random things when this question came up... what is the most unimportant thing you could say to a person. If you have any ideas please comment them... It should be able to be used in any occasion and still be the most unimportant word, phrase, or sentence. (For example you might think "Hi" is very unimportant in any situation... what about if someone says hi or hello to you, if you don't answer with a friendly hi they may think you're being rude. It is the same with a phrase like "My eyes are not blue... it may seem utterly unimportant in a situation where your in a field that is being attacked by alien spaceships but if someones asks if you "Are you're eyes blue?" You could nod politely if you're eyes are blue, smack them upside the head with a newspaper because your eyes are clearly dark green not blue, or respond by simply saying "My eyes are not blue".)

New Theme!

The maroon butterfly theme has taken over! As a change of place the old blue winter scene has passed away, and the new color scheme has taken over. Feel free to comment on how you like the new style.

Book review: Phone home Persephone

2007-08-30T12:12:00-04:00

Phone Home Persephone!

Author: Kate McMullan

In this book Hades, god of the Underworld, shows readers what really happened between him and Persephone, goddess of the Underworld. This book is second in a series of books in which Hades tells readers how his brother Zeus lies about history. Then he explains what really happened.
In Phone Home Persephone, Hades is infuriated by a tale saying that he kidnapped Persephone to be his wife. In fact, as Hades explains it, he would have liked nothing to do with his young niece. But one day Persephone was determined to get away from her overly protective mother. So she snuck a ride to the Underworld on Hades' chariot. After that, Persephone developed a crush on Hades and arranged a meeting with the little god, Cupid.
One day Persephone asked Hades on a picnic. Though Hades didn't know it, Cupid was lurking in the bushes. After that picnic Hades started noticing that he loved Persephone. Cupid's arrow wore off in about a week, but Hades was still in love with Persephone. His Uncle Shiner (a cyclops), however, realized that Hades had been hit with one of Cupid's arrows. There was a wedding about to take place, and Demeter (Persephone's mother) had brought relatives to the Underworld to take Persephone back to earth, where Demeter thought Persephone belonged. The rest of the story is about what happens when everyone is trying to stop the wedding.
The main characters of this story are Persephone, Uncle Shiner, some avenging fairy sisters, and Hades, who all live in the Underworld. I enjoyed this book because I like to read about ancient Greek beliefs. I would recommend this book to third grade and up because it is entertaining, but some of the words could be a little hard for under third grade. Phone Home Persephone and the other books in this series definitely get two thumbs up from me!

Hank Green has posted on my mom's blog. Hank Green from the website brotherhood2.com has commented on a post on the-deblog about.. well... Hank Green. (where two brothers contact eachother only through videos with punishments if certain things go wrong.) Now that isn't normally exciting for a 10 year old but it is sort of exciting when a person from a blog you have been looking at suddenly comments on your blog.
