thing the first: I got an actual book today! and already finished it, lol. 594 pages, YA sci-fi/fantasy, Pendragon book 10: The Soldiers of Halla
quick, non-spoilery review: very good, it's been about a year since I read book 9, but I didn't have any problems following the plot, lol. It kept my attention the whole way through, as you can tell by the fact it only took me about 4 hours to read, lol! I plan on digging out the rest, and re-reading the whole series from start to finish next, cause(sort of spoilery, I guess?) this was the last one.
thing the middle: New Perspective. I think I must have The Divorce on my brain, cause while everyone else is seeing a love song, I'm seeing a post break up song about wishing things had worked out differently, but knowing when it's time to go seperate ways? Not like angsty, oh, this is a horrible thing to have happened, but...wishful, regretful, fond memories, kinda Summer of Like-ish, almost? Like, that the Divorce was unavoidable, but that doesn't mean they won't miss each other.
especially this part:
You come along because I love your face
and I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up on getting out of here
More to the point, I need to show
How much I can come and go
Other plans fell through
And put a heavy load on you
I know there's no more that need be said
When I'm inching through your bed
Take a look around instead and watch me go
That just really reminds me of Bang the Doldrums, even thought they are *completely* different!
thing the last: the !: it is not on the cover for the album, but *is* on the website? boys, can you make up your minds???
