la la la..

I guess one thing a blogger should talk about is music. Well, I like pretty much any kind of music, except for very hardcore screamo rock. I mostly listen to whatever is on the radio here. I also like bands like the Beatles, Nirvana, Queen, Journey, and AC/DC. Yes, they're old bands, but they play actual music with intelligible lyrics instead of putting bragging about sex and money while talking to a beat. The links attached to the band names are my favorite songs by the band.


Anyways..... Today, we're watching Planet Hulk for contemporary lit. It's a cartoon, but its pretty cool. This is what our days mostly consist of along side reading x-men and x-factor, and I'm definitely not complaining.

What?

Hmm.... What to talk about? Well, of course, someone like me could rant about the unfairness of high school and the problems that come with teen angst. But, no, I just don't feel like it. This past week, we were talking about the x-men, and we talked about their powers. Then we watched this video, which is pretty hilarious, and it shows why only the mutants get powers.

I started reading another Ellen Hopkins book, and it's pretty twisted, as are the rest of her books. This one is called "Glass", and is the sequal to the book "Crank". It's about a girl that goes to Albuquerque to spend the summer with her dad. While there, she meets Adam, who introduces her to cocaine. When she comes home, she's addicted and needs to find her fix. Then she runs into Robyn, an older sister of a friend, who shows her how to smoke meth. Throughout the story, you read about Kristina's struggle with boys, meth, and her new identity known as "Bree". In order to find out what happens in "Glass", you gotta read "Crank". It's an extremely twisted story line, but it's one thats easy to get sucked into.
