"May the odds be ever in your favor!"

Everyone on tumblr and even facebook is a buzz about The Hunger Games. I'm in love with them myself. A co-worker recommended them to me when I still worked at The Natural Cafe. He knew my love of Harry Potter and thought these were a good antidote to missing our messy haired wizard hero. I started them right when Mockingjay was first on the shelves and Borders still existed.

I loved the movie. A lot of the mistakes and changes from the book I missed because I purposely didn't re-read the book before I saw the movie. I realized that doing so ruins the movie experience because I end up spending the whole movie fuming about everything "they ruined."

Talking with other fans I'm realizing a lot of the changes but overall I'm really pleased with the movie. I completely agree with the opinion that it is one of the best book to film adaptions. I don't believe any of the Harry Potter films got as close (feel free to argue you that one if you don't agree.)

Worst adaption ever though? The Last Airbender. I know that isn't a book, but from the cartoon to the screen was the worst film and worst adaption I've ever seen. So disappointing. I bring this up because I'm excited for the new Avatar cartoon series, Legend of Korra. Yes, I am a huge nerd.

Note to Self

Dear Self,
It is time to start reading again, writing again, and exercising again.
I feel uninspired and as if I eat only cookies.
That needs to stop.

Love,
Emily
