Tropical Labor
Tropical Storm Lee is officially here. People at work were optimistic at the beginning of the shift yesterday. However, by sundown it was obvious that the public was steering clear of the beach this weekend. Well, duh... I would have too! I got sent home around 7. We have even more staff scheduled for today. I am anxious to see how it's going to turn out. I think everyone should just stay home and sleep!
I read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins in about a day and a half at work. I picked it up on a whim after hearing they were making it into a movie.
It was ... a lot more violent than I had anticipated. I think it was more jarring because the characters were kids, killing each other. It was akin to gladiator games from Ancient Rome set in the future with kids instead of slaves and criminals.
Very entertaining and I will be interested to see how they turn it into a movie.
The only fault I had was that Katniss seemed a bit flat to me. We got to see inside of her head, but there wasn't much there. I wish that she had a bit more personality. She came off surly and petulant and a bit like she had a chip on her shoulder. But that's just my opinion.
