Text of the page (random words):
hunger games 2 contestants heralded as idols are drafted from each district outside the capitol to participate in this twisted reality series where fame and riches await the victor the catch they must outlive the other 23 contestants all of whom are out to murder them katniss is horrified when her younger sister is picked in the lottery and is quick to volunteer in her place she knows that it s a death sentence no one from her district has survived a hunger games in decades this is driven home when her compatriot a childhood friend is drafted and the pair meet their notoriously inebriated trainer what follows is a mesmerizing tale of wit love despair and heartbreak collins immerses the reader into the paranoid mindset of a girl hellbent on survival with almost dizzying rapidity mixing in elements of science fiction this young adult title does a fantastic job of drawing the reader into it s world and characters the complaint i hear most often from dissenters is how infuriated they get with the protagonist s paranoid perspective as she reacts to imagined or misinterpreted slights i however find this to be a true mark of collins skill developing a character after all have you ever been around a teenage girl without becoming irritated at the irrationality of the experience while i m not sure i ll enjoy the movie when it comes out in 2012 i ll probably see it however i ll definitely be reading catching fire the 2nd book in the series as soon as i get through the current stack of novels on my shelf rating 4 out of 5 other reviews of the hunger games fyrefly s book blog

december 14 2011 now that we re half way through december i think it s safe to say that nanowrimo was a bust got to about 20k then gave in to the chittering monkeys clambering for a break which is too bad because it looks like every one of the dozen other participants i know finished this year i think a big part of my failure was tied to a growing lack of motivation well maybe next time i ll get more involved with communal write ins that said i hope to practice by continuing to write over the mean time maybe post some of it here harking back to the roots of this blog the next few posts are going to be book reviews hopefully this will once again become a somewhat regular occurrence seeing as i ve got about a dozen more books waiting to be read as for blogenning well everyone seems to

it s kind of funny but silence drives me to distraction you ll notice that i ve been listing a few things in my nanowrimo posts livejournal made it a lot easier but whatever maybe turn on the tv or

quote of the day it was this final image the pair of them gazing out of the rear of an old wood panelled station wagon the carlsbad special needs home fading into the distance that hector now scribbled onto the clean white paper the sound of the charcoal wasn t quite as calming as the pencils his sister had used but he found himself relaxing bit by tiny bit the bare bulb hanging from a cord above his desk wasn t very bright widely casting shadows as it swung back and forth he had jerked it pretty hard in the mad rush from his bed the nightmares still fresh in his mind current word

reddit like loading leave a comment posted in uncategorized wtfood international stout day posted by chainletters on november 4 2011 as i mentioned before yesterday was international stout day the day we celebrated my favorite style of beer for those unfamiliar with the different styles of beer a stout is a dark beer where the malt and hops have been roasted giving it a strong flavor that is in fact why it s called a stout meaning strong in addition the alcohol content is usually around 7 8 pretty strong for a beer the stout day website has a pretty good synopsis of the history the most commonly known stout is guinness but i wanted to stick to some american microbrews i chose two actually first was pretty things babayaga their sylvan stout a brewery from my own great state of ma pretty things like to put their own twist on type names babayaga is actually an export stout or a stout brewed in bigger batches so that it travels better i first came across pretty things last year trying their saint botolph s town brown ale and really enjoyed their table at the beeradvocate beerfest this past spring though sadly was not fast enough to get tickets to this february s extreme beer fest which sold out in 2 hours babayaga had good mouthfeel great herby smokiness a touch of hops and a surprisingly bright note to the finish i don t associate with stouts but really enjoyed i think it s the first time i ve been able to refer to a stout as refreshing my next beer was one i saw trending on untappd so i thought i d try it out breakfast stout by founders brewing company out of michigan a double chocolate coffee oatmeal stout honestly i think i would have gotten this out of sheer intrigue even without seeing it trending i ve had chocolate and double chocolate stouts coffee stouts and oatmeal stouts but all together honestly my mouth didn t even know what was going on for the first half of the glass dark and rich surprises of spice and roasted sweetness holy wow honestly i think this beer was just too complex for my palate thankfully i bought a 4 pack so i ll have a few more chances to really get a grip on this meal of a brew this slideshow requires javascript share

all been character development haven t even touched the main plot or characters yet ha this is going to be boring as hell for anyone who i let read it despite participating since 2008 i attended my first ever nanowrimo regional event today with some others from the blogenning i figure the social involvement is the one thing that really might help push me all the way to 50k then again it s only been 2 days and i m just passed the minimum pace mark hopefully get a few hundred more words in before bed and then maybe a thousand or so before work tomorrow playing in the background prime suspect u s version quote of the day hector in contrast seemed to struggle his behavioral issues only growing more pronounced with age his doctors and teachers often grew despondent with how little progress they were able to affect despite this matron mullery was suspicious that a burning intellect lay behind the pained fury of hector s storm grey eyes current word count 3 407 3 3 3 2 where i am minimum

that s not a bad start considering that so far i ve written the first half of a prologue and the first part of chapter 1 but the tail of neither and still haven t introduced my main character hopefully that ll happen with chapter 2 yes i write short chapters thankfully that s acceptable in the genre i ve chosen to write thriller action mystery i was tempted to switch to horror and match brandon and ian in a competition for fucked up ness but that isn t something i think i could write for more than a few days without getting really bored instead i ll just do my normal job inflict copious amounts of damage on their psyche this time in an effort to inspire obviously this blog is going to slow a bit now that nanowrimo has begun i ll try to post every couple of days i actually took a bit of time and surfed through my old livejournal account where i recorded my last nano efforts i know most people always think they re passed writings are crap but i always think that mine were wittier and funnier like i m losing my touch then again those posts were pretty frustrated tonight is going to be the first time i attend a nano write in wonder how many looks i get writing on my cell phone with the battery shot my laptop just isn t worth lugging around okay back to the grind playing in the background blue planet marathon on animal planet current word count 2 353 share this

comment posted in nanowrimo reading a glimpse into my past posted by chainletters on october 27 2011 richard sugden library i love to read growing up in a small town much of my youth was spent in the library devouring first the children and young adult sections by the time i was 8 i was a veteran user of the card catalog spending hours in the adult half of the building the library was my baby sitter i loved the solitude the silence and most of all the access to so much information when i wasn t in the library or at school i was at home either in front of a computer or buried nose first in a book this carried into high school when i spent long hours in the library at copley square one of the oldest public libraries in the country while waiting for my train home while in high school where community service was promoted to such a degree that we spent every friday for half our senior year volunteering i worked at my city s library my love for books particularly good fiction was the reason i always romanticized being a writer the new home of the worcester public library finished only a few months before i began working there i actually really liked the old factory that was it s temporary home during construction that was one of the reasons i started this blog to push my reading into writing it was 2008 and my efforts with creative writing had waned as i progressed through college i still read quite voraciously it just wasn t triggering the urge to create like it had in my youth so i challenged myself to read and review 100 books in a year unless you include graphic novels which i didn t i didn t even get close i could make excuses i had started late in the year around april and it was also the first time i attempted nanowrimo but the truth was that it s actually a pretty tough goal and there was one massive side effect i burned out i m a bit ashamed of the fact that i didn t really touch another book till mid 2010 sure i kept reading but 2008 9 marked my return to comics and graphic novels left untouched since i was a child i read 3 books in 2010 2 of them in airports waiting for connecting flights it wasn t until recently as my interest in graphic novels began to wane and i sought inspiration for the upcoming fustuarium that is nanowrimo that i was really able to pick up a book and lose myself in the pages in large part thanks to a book gifted by a friend bpl central branch where i spent many evenings during high school honestly it was a bit like coming home so even though nanowrimo starts next week i hope to once again post reviews here i ve got a lot of catching up to do so there are going to be quite a few titles you ve already come across elsewhere the first two will hopefully go up this weekend and as nanowrimo progresses in an effort to refrain from distractions like music and television i ll probably once again return to my old refuge and fri...
