Friday Fix #13 - It's Emidy!

Friday, April 30, 2010

The Friday Fix is a takeover of my Friday blog post by other bloggers who have volunteered their time and energy to "star" in their very own guest post on Friday. Only one mandatory thing - you must answer five of the most random questions I throw your way. The rest is up to you. Remember, if you'd like to be featured on the Friday Fix, shoot me your email, and let me know! So, without further ado, here is Emidy from Une Parole!



The Most Random Questions in the World...


1. Do dentists perform their own dentistry?

I sure hope not! I would imagine it would be pretty difficult. And dangerous! And awkward! Wouldn't that be a funny sight, though? But it begs the question - where do they actually go to get their teeth checked? It would be interesting to find out. Any dentists reading this?

2. Can animals commit suicide?

Yes, but I'm pretty sure they don't do it on purpose! I mean, have you seen those birds and squirrels that hop across the road right when a car is coming? That's basically asking for death, yet they do it all the time!

3. If you do something to save time...do you get to keep the time you save?

Sadly no. But oh, I wish that were the case! Just imagine... one day when you really need a few extra minutes to do something, your saved-up time could really come in handy. If you're late for school - no problemo! If you need extra time to get ready in the morning - voila! I wish the world was like that.


4. 4. Why are they called "marbles" if they are made from glass?


That's actually a really good question that I have no answer for! I'll take a random guess and say that they used to be made out of marble, the rock. Glass is prettier and you can get some with really nice designs, so that's probably why they made the switch.

5. Can you slam revolving doors?


Nope, but it would look pretty funny if you tried! Not to mention foolish. I used to be intimidated by revolving doors, actually. I always pictured myself falling down and somehow getting caught in between the doors while they're revolving. Now that would hurt!




I had a lot of fun answering these questions! They're always so original and get you thinking. So, I'd like to thank Melissa for featuring me on her Friday Fix. Thanks Melissa!

Waiting on Wednesday 4/28

Wednesday, April 28, 2010




Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, and spotlights upcoming novels we just can't wait for! We all know there are a ton of great books coming out this year, but this week, I'm particularly excited for...

Title: Folly
Author: Marthe Jocelyn
Release Date: May 11, 2010






Three fates intertwine in this moving and passionate love story set in Victorian London.

Mary Finn: country girl, maid to a lord in London

Caden Tucker: liar, scoundrel, and heart's delight

James Nelligan: age six, tossed into a herd of boys

When Mary Finn falls into the arms of handsome Caden Tucker, their frolic changes the course of her life. What possesses her? She's been a girl of common sense until now. Mary's tale alternates with that of young James Nelligan, a new boy in an enormous foundling home.

I love books set in historic times, and I love books with stories that intertwine until a parallel is drawn between all the characters. I think this book sounds amazing - and entertaining - and I have to say that the cover is a bit haunting. I love how dark it is. This is a definite must-read for me! What are you waiting on this week?

Monday Movie Review #14 - Oceans

Monday, April 26, 2010

I saw ONE movie this weekend...just ONE...and it was AMAZINGGGGG!!! Think I love it yet? Just wait until you've heard all my thoughts (insert canned laughter here)...



Oceans is a remarkable visual and auditory journey and is narrated by the one and only Pierce Brosnan and begins with the simple lines:

"What is the ocean? The answer isn’t in a book. You must see it for yourself. Hear it. Taste it. Feel its power. Live it.”


Oceans spans the globe, exploring the world's five oceans and delving into the deep underwater world from the different perspectives and viewpoints of the animals that live there. It's so real...so tangible...that at times you actually feel like you're swimming in the ocean with them. It's an amazing thing. Oh, and here's an interesting fact - this film took four years simply to gather enough film and material to piece together into one great masterpiece. I'd say the filmmakers definitely succeeded. Released on Earth Day, Oceans is a gentle reminder that we should do all we can to preserve these magnificent habitats.

It's hard to review a film like Oceans, but if you're in the mood for something beautiful, entertaining, and just a little bit educational, I highly recommend this for all ages. I give film a 5 out of 5 for sure! Below is the trailer.
