5 Make a Post

[learnteach]

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.

What do you consider to be the difference between jealousy and envy? I'm always curious about what people perceive the difference to be...

I feel the same way about not being with friends. Not Jealous, because that would mean I'd want to take away their adventure, but I do feel envy because I want some too! I want to share their pleasure and adventure.

Glad you're not panicking! Life is much more difficult to deal with if panic is layered on top of the other stuff.

I would like to meet some new people, but right now I'm *so* happy to not be camping in AZ. I'm feeling hobbitlike, and adventures are not on the agenda right now. :-)
