Hola,
Another crazy book...this time it is Zombies VS Unicorns by Justine Larbalestier and Holly Black (and various other authors!) it is a collection of short stories, either about Unicorns or Zombies. Basically, there is a Team Zombie and a Team Unicorn, made up of various authors. They take their sides and argue their points by writing magnificent stories about either of the chosen two. It was orginially an arguement between Justine and Holly...and they turned it into a book! Super weird and totally random, it felt like the right thing to put on this block (since what it weirder or randomer than Random, Stupid and Insanely Genius?) One of the stories I particularly enjoyed in the book was The Care and Feeding of Your Baby Killer Unicorn by Diana Peterfreund...it was cool and slightly creepy. I am definitely Team Unicorn, though I have nothing against Zombies...I just think Unicorns are ultimately WAY cooler! So, are you team Zombie or Unicorn?

The Brontes and Jane
Hello, Hello, Hello...
Anyone else love the Bronte sisters or Jane Austen? I love their work...especially Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen! If you like their books, maybe you'd like to learn more about their life...or the meaning behind the literature. I checked out a few books from the library a while ago. One about the lives of the Bronte Sisters (Charlotte, Emily and Anne!) and one about the puzzles behind Jane Austen's work.
The Bronte Sisters: The Brief Lives of Charlotte, Emily and Anne by Catherine Reef
What Matters in Jane Austen- Twenty Crucial Puzzles Solved by John Mullan
and I've also recently started reading a book called "Death Comes to Pemberly" by P.D. James, and it is a murder mystery involving the Bennet sisters (well...more Elizabeth...) it is great so far. Anyway...Happy Christmas!

Project Be British...
Hi!!! (Please read this whole post in the best British accent you have!)
So...as most people know, British accents and British stuff is awesome. And if you are a fellow Whovian...you know that the Doctor seems to ALWAYS run into British people! Even though he travels through time and space...everyone has got British accents! And Harry Potter is...ya know, British! As well as Sherlock and Downton Abbey. Jane Austen and the Bronte's! So...my wonderfully powerful brain of deduction has puzzled out that awesome stuff happens to British people...and I must develop a British accent and stuff...which will be hard, as my imitation of a British accent is super lousy. Almost so bad that The Tenth Doctor would say "NO, NO, NO, Don't do that!" to me, which would be fun! Anyway, I came up with Project Be British...which is basically what it sounds like. Developing a British accent that isn't offensive and horrible, eating British food and reading books from Britain. And of course, Ellie Goulding is awesome...and she is British...at least I think so! But anyway...yeah. So hopefully my Doctor will come and save me, I'll get my Hogwarts letter FINALLY and I'll mysteriously run into Sherlock and stuff. Allons-y! (I know that isn't British, it's French...but Ten says it and I'm desperatly in LOVE with Ten...who isn't?)

(I just jumped like three feet in the air...because this Holiday song I was listening to said "Weeping Angels on your lawn!" and that is NOT a good thing to hear!)

Pottermore!
Hola Everyone,
I believe I am not the only Harry Potter fan in the universe...since HP is awesome. If you are a Potterhead that has not heard of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter website called Pottermore...you seriously should check it out. You get sorted, go through all the books with Harry and you can duel and make potions. Super awesome.
www.pottermore.com
Anyway...yeah.
Chai Tea and Awesome Stuff,

Weird-ness
Hola Evil Frogs and Brave Barking Owls (and of course, witches and wizards!),
Do you like the fancy Italic? I looooooove italic! It just occured to me today that I was singing about a sad snowman...and the thought struck me that if a stranger saw me, they would think I was insane. Another thought struck me: I don't really care. I think it is important to be weird, crazy and funny...to embrace the fact that you are definitely NOT perfect and totally not normal...as no one in the world is "normal". We strange.
Adios people of mars (I mean...marshians of mars!) and the glue factory workers,
NutFreeGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
