So I wanted to post something profound...or intelligent...or along those lines. But nothing of that sort came to me. Instead I've been drowning in the prop list for the Foreiegner. Ah, yes. I've been sort of absent from the blog world as of late, so I haven't mentioned the news. I am stage managing my very first play! It has been completely awesome for many reasons, but one of the more humorous ones has to do with my age... See, I'm the second youngest person in the cast/crew (the only younger person being the sound operator) yet I get to boss around (nicely, of course...) a bunch of adults. It's awesome...
Books...
I have read and finished three sequels, so on Lady Brainsample's Mini Review Day, I'll discuss sequels in the Hunger Games series, Oracles of Fire series, and Ender's Game series.
Bones of Makaidos: Took me a while to get into, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. Bryan Davis tied up all the loose ends I can think of from the series very well.
Catching Fire: Took me in on the first page and kept me in its clutches to the very end. Very, very frustrating ending because it completely sets itself up for the next one, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
Children of the Mind: I really love how after Ender's Game and the Shadow series, Orson Scott Card focused less on action and more on character and philosophy. But...(spoilers follow) Ender dead?? What?!?!?! And how can this be the conclusion when there are so many other things that need to be explained such as whatever happened to Bean and his kids? Orson Scott Card takes too long in writing....
With all: I highly recommend reading each of the previous books in the series before taking on either of these books, especially for Bones. Each of them are great series, so it's worth reading them all.
Final bit of news: two new EJC films up. One of them made to showcase my friend with an amazing Gollum voice, the other completely unscripted to showcase each of my dear friends who play the piano very well.
Without further ado, presenting
Gollum's Present (the Remake)
and
Piano Problems

8 musings:
Ooooh, a play! How cool!! I'm in a play right now, and I'm *loving* it.
~Kendra
How cool about your play! :)
Omigosh!!! The Foreigner is EPIC!!!!!
A theatre group in my hometown put it on about a year ago and it was fabulous.
There's a funny story there, on closing night the glass of liqour that Betty is supposed to drink at the end was filled with gin [the other nights it had been water] and Gabrielle, as Betty, took one sniff of it and slung it under the table.....the audience loved it, they'd never have known... :)
fun stuff
Sweet! I'm on Youtube! Can't wait till you post the Balcony Scene--I think that was the best we did that day.
Being stage manager sounds like so much fun. You need to write a book on all your adventures at the theatre.
How did you manage to get that position?
I found the romance in the Dragon in our Midst series to be really weird. But maybe that's just me.
Fun blog!
The Foreigner is going to be awesome! Some would like to see the famous producer in another EJC film.
Kendra: Yes, plays are definitely cool, and I as well am loving mine.
Tricia: Thanks!
Bethany: I know right? It's such a great play. And thanks for sharing that cool story!
Countess: Your waiting is over, Balcony Scene is up! And hmm...maybe I will write a book someday.
Reluctant Dragon: PLEASE tell me you did that pun deliberately, cause I LOVE it! And yes, I agree, the romance was a tad weird.
PftF: Don't worry, the Famous Producer will be appearing in the next EJC film.
On 'piano problems', how charmingly inspirational!
