Mkay, let's get started!


1. Hero: Jean Valjean, from Les Miz.

This guy never got a break, so it would seem. The poor man was in prison for twenty years for stealing a mouthful of bread to feed his sister's family. He got released, but then broke parole because nobody would hire him, or give him work. He is taken aback by a minister's kindness, and promises to become a better man after the minister forgives him. Valjean becomes mayor of a town, right under his former parole officer's nose. Through a series of events, he adopts a dying woman's child, raises her, saves the child's true love, spares the parole officer's life when given the chance to kill him, saves a man trapped under a fallen cart, gives food and money to the poor, and helps in the revolution.

2. Villain: Captain Hook, from Disney's Peter Pan

 I mean, really? Waging war on a band of kids? Isn't that called child abuse?

3. Anti-hero: Boromir from The Lord of The Rings

 Ok, I know there is a lot of controversy over his character and motives. I fall some-where in between. He's definitely not a hero figure, but his motives where his father's, not his, so technically he's not the villain either. He only wanted the ring to help protect the city from Sauron, but he couldn't see past his father's instructions to see the madness behind them.

4. Best book-to-screen adaptation: Bilbo Baggins from both Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit

 Really, Ian Holm and Martin Freeman gave it their all, and portrayed Bilbo perfectly!

5. Best character perception: Mandel Patinkin's Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride

He said that when he stabbed Count Rugen as Inigo, it felt like he was killing the cancer that killed his father, and “for a moment, he was alive. And my fairy tale came true.”

I tag:





Have fun!

    Indigo Montoya is awesome, when I read what the actor said about that scene, I felt so bad for him. I guess that's what made this scene so powerful.

Bang goes that theory. -_- Night before last, the heater ran all night, and I had the brilliant idea to accidentally sleep a large portion of the night with my mouth open. Fast-forward to 7:30 yesterday morning. I woke up with a sore throat. Determined to not let it get me down, I continued to function like normal, despite the fact that all I really wanted to do was ignore my alarm clock and pull the blankets back over my head. I marched downstairs and promptly brewed myself a mug-full of tea. Most the the day, I was able to act like nothing was out of the ordinary- I was even able to finish my science for the rest of the year! (*throws confetti*) After dinner though, I started getting really really tired. When Mom read us a story in the living room, I almost fell asleep. After she finished, I went back up to my room. If it hadn't been only 8ish I would have gone to sleep immediately, but it was, so instead, I crawled into bed with a book. I little while later, little si

The Bookshelf Tag

Image
Ok, so a while ago  Mironiel Blokzyl  made a bookshelf tag, and tagged anyone who wanted to do it, so, naturally, I stole it  decided to do it. :) But, seeing as how I was on vacation when she posted it, and away from most of my precious books, I had to wait until I returned. Anyways, I'm positive the only rules are to answer the questions, and tag people. Let the tag commence! 1) How do you rearrange your bookshelf? There was a time when I didn't even have my own shelf, I shared with Lydia, so she did the organizing. Then, I got a huge tall bookshelf, that was rather wobbly. I thing I filled about half of it, and used the other half for desk storage, since I didn't (and still don't) have a desk. I moved rooms a couple of times, and now I have a different bookshelf (that is still huge). I had a faze where I wanted everything by series and height. Now it's just what looks nice and interesting. When I get more books, I may try to organize by color. 2)

I fixed it!

Image
A couple weeks ago I was notified by somebody who shall remain anonymous (you know who you are) that my Google Friend Connect button was out of commission. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what was the issue, so I just left it alone and hoped that Google would eventually fix it for me. Still nothing. A couple days ago, Lydia asked me to email her a list of some of my favorite bloggers (don't worry, you're all my favorite, but I couldn't very well send her a list of dozens of links to wade through, now could I?). She also asked me how she could get more involved in the blogging community. Of course, I told her to post more on  her secondary blog , and to follow and comment on other people's blogs. After thinking on what I told her, I decided that I needed to check the design for her secondary blog because I couldn't even remember what it looked like even though I was the one who designed it for her. Holy moly! It was definitely cringe-worthy!
