1. KAOS continues, but thanks to some sound advice, my panic does not.
2. "The Lightning Thief" is a straight redo of Harry Potter (Percy Jackson) with Greek Gods instead of wizardry. Voice is a little more like Harry Dresden. It should make a good movie; it was written scene to scene, rather than plotted. I predict more. But if Honor Harrington and D. Drake's Lightnings were inspired by Aubrey/Maturin inspired by Horatio Hornblower (written by a movie writer); what is the chain here? Potter/Dresden/Olympians and ...where's the D. Drake equivalent?
3. Short essays by Ray Bradbury are wonderful.
4. Time is out of joint.
5. Need coffee. Took a coffee making class at Barefoot, very interesting. What's up with restaurants charging $2.50 for a cup of coffee when the $2 coffee shop ones are so much better? I'll be drinking more water, thanks.
6. Bonus note: Jealous of friends having adventures at Estrella. Not so much that I envy them or have negative emotions, I just want to be there, striving and experiencing.
