I just finished the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Lightning Thief. I admit it wasn't half bad though from what I have heard about the movie, fans are annoyed that Annabeth's hair is the wrong color. It will be interesting to see the movie after reading the book though WOW couldn't the producers of the movie have gotten someone who looks at least like he is in middle school. OMG the actor looks like he could be in high school and he is supposed to be a SIXTH GRADER. Argh!
Enough of my quick rant, the trailor does look good and yes I will see the movie (especially since one of my favorite actors, Sean Bean, is playing Zeus). I look forward to reading the second book soon.

I was so excited to see the first full moon of 2010 but the Ohio weather did not cooperate (at least in my neck of the woods)
What was so special about the first full moon? Well it is supposed to be the brightest and biggest due to being closer to the earth than normal.
"The 2010 wolf moon will appear 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than any other full moon this year, because our cosmic neighbor will actually be closer to Earth than usual." National Geographic Online.
I have a love/hate relationship with full moons. I LOVE how they look and light up the sky on a clear night but I "hate" the idea that a full moon makes people do odd things (or at least it seems like it).
"Many people think full moons cause strange behavior among animals and even humans. In fact several studies over the years have tried to tie lunar phases to births, heart attacks, deaths, suicides, violence, psychiatric hospital admissions and epileptic seizures, and more. Connections have been inclusive or nonexistent." Fox News Online
Did anyone get to see the Wolf Moon??
