"Right O, Professah!"
Oh Professor Layton, how I love you so! even when every living thing reminds you of a puzzle ("Oh look professah! Somebody littered!" - "Why, this reminds me of a puzzle Luke!" Oh how I hated that puzzle...it had such a simple answer too.) Mom just got the newest release to America and we've been double-teaming it hardcore...even though she hid it from me for two days...how dare you mom! You're evil! Apparently they go to the future, but I wouldn't know because I didn't get to see the beginning. But I know there's future Luke and he really hasn't changed much (and by much I mean at all. Sure he got taller, but that's about it) Ooooh I can't wait to play it alone and use trusty Trial and Error almost repeatedly before going to someone I know for help and then finally looking it up on the Internet (that goddamn apple puzzle nearly killed me!) Mom's playing it right now...it's a good thing it's a weekend and she doesn't have any homework for her tax class.
In other news, the Scarlet Letter is pissing me off. I can deal with the hypocrisy of Puritans and all of their self hate and sexual tension just fine. It's the needlessly extensive DESCRIPTIONS about pointless things that are driving me up the wall. If Hawthorne were alive today I would write him a very descriptive ten page letter of how I burned his book and how it made me feel completely and utterly satisfied to see all of those repetitive and pointless words go up in flame...and then I would complain about how he made me waste $4 and about 2 weeks of my life reading the damn thing. Don't get me wrong, I understand the book just fine and I supply plenty of conversations and meanings in class. I just hate Hawthorne's writing style. I hated Goodman Brown and The Minister's Black Veil too. I think the character I hate most is Pearl...I know I sound harsh and evil because she's just a kid, but I can't stand her. She acts like such a brat! and her mom just let's her push her around. The fact that she knows she can make her mom do whatever she wants annoys the crap out of me...that and Hester never disciplines her. I think I really started to know this hatred for her when she made Hester put the Scarlet Letter back on. I understand her reasons for it (she was unfamiliar with anything else, but her mom being gloomy), but that still doesn't mean she has to be a freaking brat. Oh, but she's a BEAUTIFUL, INTELLIGENT, child beyond her years...so that makes up for it? I don't think so.
Anyway enough of that rant. (HAWTHORNE!!!!! *shakes fist at sky*) I might be going to D.C. in October! I'm so excited!!! But I might miss Halloween back here...bummer...our plans aren't set yet, so we're not sure. It'll be awesome though! :D
