So I'm having lunch and my mom starts talking about a program on television about zoos. Then she brings up stickbugs and I have to try my hardest not to start laughing like a maniac. Kinda didn't work as I told her about Natalie's roommate and her depressed stickbug. Then my dad comes in the kitchen and talks about a piece of wood from the closet he's working on and my mom says that maybe it's a stickbug and I about die.

ZOMG, stickbug jokes in RL!

So I finished reading 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' today and yeah. It's an okay book, but the writing style doesn't really suck you in. I found it somewhat lacking to be honest. The characters remain pretty shallow, I think Aslan is by far the only character in the book that you feel you know most about.

I think a lot of its flaws can be simply blamed on the time it was written in. The style and first person narrative just didn't sit well with me and while the book is fast paced, it didn't exactly keep me on the edge of my seat. Of course, that might have to do with seeing the movie so recently. Although, I think the characters get way better characterisation in the movie than they do in the books.

And omg, how much do I want to thump Lewis for that whole "girls shouldn't fight" crap? I know, I know. It's normal for that time but gah.
