I have my guilty face on today, because I may or may not now possess all four Jonas Brothers CDs. =D I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I definitely have them now. I could lie and pass it off as a gift to my adorable sister, but I secretly wanted them. They are definitely not the best, but there is something about cookie cutter pop that makes me want to know all the words. Madilyn and I love to watch their TV show, JONAS, and giggle about it.
Aside from the Jonas Fever that I have caught, I have found a new book-love and a new tv show. I'm starting with the show because I could probably spend an entire post on the book-love. NBC has started to air the first season of BBC's Merlin, which is ncredibly funny if not actually acurate. I took Arthurian Literature for Jan term this year, and we saw the previews for this show. Both Mathew and Madilyn watch it with me, but we missed it this week so my mission for tomorrow is to find the episode online. I'm not telling them that we could watch the rest of the season. =] I really like how the show portrays Merlin's magic - his eyes, normally blue, flash gold right before the magic happens. King Uther Pendragon is portrayed by the one and only Anthony Head, also known as GILES from Buffy the Vampire Slayer! I giggle a lot when he trying to be a tyrant. Merlin and Arthur are the same age, Gwen is Morgana's serving girl, and Lancelot has only been in one episode, but he looked like Ben Barnes so it's okay.
As for the book-love, there is an author named Cassandra Clare. If you were ever involved in Harry Potter fanfiction deeply, that name probably rings a bell. The infamous Cassandra Claire, who was accused of a lot of copyright infringement at one point - read about it here, wrote the epic fanfiction saga known as the Draco Trilogy (Draco Sinister, Draco Dormiens, and Draco Veritas) as well as the Very Secret Diaries, which was a LOTR spin-off. I have a whole other blog post to write about why I read her newly published Mortal Instruments series in light of all the accusations, but let me say here that I loved the published trilogy as much as I loved the fanfiction trilogy. I definitely reccomend them to anyone looking for something to take up some time in their lives now that Harry Potter and Twilight are done, but I would suggest just borrowing it from the library unless you find it cheap like I did. =]
