Ice cream and Pandora on a foggy Saturday afternoon. Yep, I'm a happy camper.
So I thought this would be the opportune moment to do a blogger update. Here's a picture of Isabelle's birthday cake. She turned fourteen last Sunday, and since the cake we got at Walmart the night before was rather plain looking aside from a Mickey and Pluto in an airplane figurine, I secretly made some alterations of my own...
Yep, that's Percy Jackson inspired: Camp Half-Blood orange icing, the Poseidon trident-thingie, and my sister's name in Greek (thank you Google translate). I am proud to say that Isabelle was quite pleased.
And speaking of Percy Jackson, I've recently read the two Heroes of Olympus books, and they were really fun. The Son of Neptune was especially great. Now I am quite impatient for this fall to bring me The Mark of Athena, book three in the series. So I've started The Kane Chronicles, at the recommendation of my sisters, to tide me over. Finished the Red Pyramid this morning, and shall shortly begin The Throne of Fire. But in my opinion, there's no beating Percy Jackson when it comes to mythology.
I've been learning Spanish lately, which is quite fun, even though I'm not very fluent in conversation yet. I had an lol moment the other day when the computer woman I was conversing with said, "Nuria es tonto" and then later, "Los hijos de mi vecino son feos." That's "Nuria is stupid" and "My neighbor's children are ugly." I guess my Spanish program doesn't teach manners. I figured out on my own that right now, this is probably the best thing for me to say to a Spanish-speaking person: "Mi español es mal." My Spanish is bad. But hopefully, not for long.
And here I sign out. Love to ya, mi amigas!
Haha that's soo cool, nice cake :) I'm just waiting for the new Percy Jackson movie to come out, as well as the Hunger games, I never really read the Percy book.
ReplyDeleteThat's great you're learning Spainish, I'm pretty good at it, becuase I've been taking it at my school since 4th grade haha. Keep practicing and sometime soon we'll have a full out spainish coversation :)
Duuuuude I cannot WAIT for the Hunger Games! And I know the Percy Jackson books are generally placed in the middle-school aged category, but they're pretty darn great. Definitely worth checking out. I'll probably be reading Rick Riordan books when I'm 21 lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm trying to incorporate spanish into my life as much as possible (hence adding the phrases and tranlations to my blog post). A conversation would be wonderful.
