Nothing to talk about

I have nothing to talk about tonight for some reason so instead I decided to post this rather hilarious site for you entertainment! Enjoy!

It's how a 12 year-old AOL would talk with whatever you put in on the top box. Thank you Lucas Longley for your brilliance.

Thank you Halloween.

This is almost exactly what I'm feeling right now.

Happy Birthday Webster!

So you probably don't know, but today (OCT 16 1758) is Noah Webster's birthday. His first dictionary was published in 1828. So in honor of this I am posting a few really awesome websites that are all about words!

Most importantly the dictionary itself!
http://dictionary.reference.com

Second a really awesome list of common errors in the English language. Can't remember which to you want? Can never remember which its gets the apostrophe? Here is your friend.

A similar site, but this one specializes in words like effect and affect.
http://www.confusingwords.com/

This one talks about grammatical problems that are regularly seen in today's published works.

Since today's theme seems to be all about writing I will give a special link! This one isn't for words or grammar or anything like that. It's just a good resource if you are just starting out writing (or have been for years!).

I hope this list is really useful to you. I has been for me. I've looked up effect and affect a ridiculous amount of times. It took a friend of mine, who is a 6th grade teacher, explaining it to me like he does for his kids for me to finally get it.

Edit: Due to some problems I am unable to get the hyper-link to work so just copy and past the link into your browser. Sorry for the inconvenience I hope to fix this in the future.

Edit2: Hyper-links online! Yay!

Brave New Begining

Anyone read the book Brave New World(If not beware I have spoilers in this blog)? A friend of mine told me when she read it it ended without the suicide of the guy. I had read it with the suicide and was wholly depressed. Which ending did you read it with and do you think it was better that way?

This was a lead in into my second blog post ever. Yes I just started the blog as of about half an hour ago, but I wanted to discus the book for some reason. So when you read this and discover this post give me a message about what you think of the book...and here I go.

I'm a fan of books always have been since I can remember. My parents actually got annoyed with reading to me so my dad taught me DOS when I was three so I could run the read to me books that came out then. I couldn't run DOS now though, it would be a random skill to have that is for sure. Anyway, this summer two books that I have read have come into the movie theaters and a third is coming soon. The first "My Sister's Keeper" the second "The Time Traveler's Wife" and coming soon "The Road". I had had high hopes for "My Sister's Keeper" it was an utter disappointment. I don't even know how the author could let that make it to post production let alone the big screen. So after following that disaster was "The Time Traveler's Wife" as a movie it might not make much sense (I read a few reviews to prepare myself for the movie and one person said that they were confused) as a book though it was brilliant piece of literature. Well I had just had the disappointment of "My Sister's Keeper" I was terrified that this one would be worried. I was pleasantly surprised with it though. It was as true to the book as any movie could be. Of course now I have "The Road" to worry about. I've seen some good names in the cast, but that doesn't mean much look at the cast for "My Sister's Keeper" there are quite a few large names in that movie, yet it was a blatant destruction of the book.

"The Road" is dark, very dark, be prepared to be thankful for everything after reading it or seeing it. I was practically giddy with happiness as I drank some soda after reading "The Road" I want that same sensation when it comes to the movie. It is a graphic book in a post apocalyptic world. Here's keeping my hopes up!
