are you in the mood for a fandom discussion?

I feel like writing an entry today, even though nothing new has happened. The only news I have is that I'm going to the physiotherapist today for my tight psoas muscles (which are so tight, they actually hurt). I know the session is going to be painful, but it'll make me feel better in the long run. So I'm half looking forward to it and half fearing it.

I've been taking 10mg of medicine for the past few days and I've been feeling okay, which is good. :D

If you like or even hate The Hunger Games, I found a couple of interesting articles about how Katniss appears to be a strong female character, but ultimately isn't. Here they are: one and two. Do read them in order, as the second article is a response to the comments on the first one.

I agree with both articles, but then again I never really liked Katniss and consider THG to be an okay series (completely ruined by the last book, imo) which is somewhat over-hyped. But I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts! :) I'm really in the mood for a bit of fandom discussion!

That says enough for me, since I can recite more intricate plotlines of books I read much longer ago

The same thing happened to me, actually! Even though I've read THG fairly recently, I can only remember the main bits of the plot, while I remember way better other books that I read a long time ago. Generally not a good sign when this happens.

Well, I never liked Katniss either, so you're not alone on that! :)
