A book Everyone should read.

Well, I first came across Jules Verne around the 3rd grade or so. My Liberian, also perhaps my closest friend, suggested that I "let my imagination loose" and that I "give Jules Verne a try". I didn't know what I was getting my self into. I was curious about science fiction either way. So, at her urging, I checked out Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I don't know what urged me to do so, really. But the book was captivating. Albeit nothing near a horror story's excitement, I still find the book memorable even today. The book recounts the story of a French Professor, Professor Aronnax and his assistant, Conseil, as they investigate a phantom beast terrorizing the world's oceans. Most theorize that the beast is a narwhal gone mad, others resort to more fantasiful explanations. All international trade comes to a halt, and the world's merchant marines are pulled back to their respective home ports. At the same time, the United States government commissions the steam frigate, USS Abraham Lincoln, to stop this menace. Ned Land, a Canadian harpoonist, is also hired for the expedition. While underway towards the Pacific Ocean, the USS Abraham Lincoln is intercepted by the beast and Aronnax, Conseil, and Land are thrown overboard by the beast's attack. They soon find themselves aboard the Nautalius. Commanded and designed by the mysterious Captain Nemo (For the record, he's not Nemo from Finding Nemo. Instead, it stems from the latin word for "no man" or "no body. Btw, if ur in Latin with ms derzon and didn't know about this, she'll be really upset :P), the man is abord this submarine for two reasons: to conduct scientific research and to get back at civilazation by sinking it's merchant marines. In the meantime, Ned Land tries to escape, but is foiled until the end of the story. Will Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned Land escape? What is Captian Nemo's actual reason behind his attacks on merchant shipping? Can I stop asking questions?! (hopefully, yes :D) Find out for yourself. As for me, I'll think I'll turn in for the night and get some much needed z's.

Kimba the White Lion

Thank God it's FRIDAY!!!! and with that, a bit of respite, rest, and relaxation! here's some old anime: "Kimba the White Lion". Debuted during the 1960's, the anime is quite old, not quite up to today's standards, but still understandable. This is the orginal 1966 dub, feat. billie lou watt as Kimba. I think i'll start you off with the pilot episode, courtsy of blacklion50.

"The fictional musings of Johannes Wendler"

Right! just a bit of background info for this blog: it's a historical fiction war journal/diary of a WWII German fighter pilot. It follows his adventures over north africa and i'm thinking of starting another fictional war diary on another theater of WWII. Again, it's progressive and is updated daily! In the meantime, check out the nine light blog of my world lit teacher!
