Misty Water Coloured Memories, Of The Way We Were.

Hello all! Can you believe it's already almost 2013?? Geez, where did this year go? Nowhere!! Time is relative not constant! This year doesn't have to be in the past, we can re-visit it any time we want to if we just concentrate hard enough. Sadly, I have problems with concentrating. Aww man, I totally forgot which book I'm reviewing today...Okay I remember now, here I go....

So I just finished Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Boy this brings back memories. Do you remember my first post? That was The Merchant of Venice, both by Shakespeare!! Blogs grow up so fast! Anyways, it's not a series, but that's kind of obvious. You can get it here if you want it. I read this awesome kind of Shakespeare called "No Fear Shakespeare" where on one page there is the original version, but on the other is today's English so if you don't know a word, or like when characters start talking about something else without using a new subject you don't get confused! It works well for me!! 

Summaryish: Macbeth is all about this guy named, well, uh, Macbeth, and how three witches prophesied that he would become the king of Scotland. So he tells his wifey about it, and she gets all evil and power-hungry and  convinces him to kill the current king to make the prophecy come true. But his guilt leads him to become a tyrant. Okay, the spoilers are kicking in, I should stop before I give away the ending!!

Review: Wow this was fantastic!! I was completely lost in the pages!! Like with all of Shakespeare's works, it was very well thought out and interconnected. I feel like it must have taken months to write! I can't even communicate the awesome that is this play! I want to be in it so badly! My favourite part was the "Double, bubble toil and trouble/Fire burn and cauldron bubble" I saw that scene in my minds eye more vividly than all the others! What was your favourite part? (See what I did there? I just asked you that question without an "If you read it," in front of it, therefore eliminating any chance that you might not read it.) 

Words to the Characters:

Macbeth: I have just one question for you: Why, why'd you do it? It was so unlike you. 

Lady Macbeth: You are very good at getting what you want. I'll leave it to you to discover if that's a good thing or a bad thing. 

Hmmm. I can't think of any other big characters to whom I can talk. Oh well.

Alrighty, this post is complete. I hope you enjoyed it! I sure did, although my fingertips are kind of going numb. Is that normal? Bye!

If I Had Wings I Would Fly...Something, Something, Touch The Sky!

Howdy howdy darling reader! Surprised to hear from me? I posted only yesterday, and here I am already reviewing another book. I am just so tickled to have over 240 pageviews already!!! I love it when you look at my blog! I feel so popular. Especially because some of those people aren't even from America where I am!! Hello people from China, Saudi Arabia, Germany and the United Kingdom! How are things on the other side of the ocean? I should probably review a book now. 

So I just finished this book called Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson. Maybe you've heard of him? I read his "About the Author" and apparently he's pretty popular. Anyways. This book is the first part of the Fugitives series, also known as "Maximum Ride" (Which is a person, not an experience). If you would like to purchase it, try clicking right about here. 

Summaryish: You know the drill, this paragraph isn't going to be very helpful because, like every book I read, it's full of secrets and conspiracies. I will do my best. Here I go...This book is about a girl named Max and her five friends, all between the ages of 6 and 14. They're just regular kids, you know. Chilling out and fighting and stuff. But here's the catch (Why is there always a catch?): They have wings. And they're not fighting each other, they're fighting crazy dog people and the scientists who created them. Yeah, that's right. They had bird DNA grafted into them. Pretty cool, I know, but it causes lots of problems. Like when the youngest member of there "flock" is kidnapped. Anyways, like good friends they go off to rescue her with lots of interesting things happening in between. Then they end up in New York for reasons I cannot tell you. Spoilers, what are you going to do? 

Review: Welcome! It is once again time for my review!! I have just one thing to say: Awesometatiousfulicious. (I sooooo just gave away my identity, I'm the only person I know who says that.) I absolutely love this book!! I am going to write the titles of the rest of the books in the series on my To Read list, and once I finish reading them all, I will explore the rest of Mr. Patterson's books. I love the sciencefictionyness of it all!! It's got everything: DNA, wings, dog-people, mad scientists, betrayal, lies, plans that fail, plans that succeed, plans that don't follow through, it even has cookies!!! One last thing: I don't know why, but the ever-present sarcastic air and never ending witty humour really make me feel at home with this book. Like I can just fall right into the pages and start discovering my genetically engineered talents with the rest of them. Home, sweet home. 

Words to the Characters:

Max: You remind me of me...you know, without the wings. 

Fang: I'm getting this weird feeling that you wanted to stay with the hawks, and you are sad you left. There there. I would have liked to stay with the hawks too. 

Iggy: I love how you don't let your blindness get in your way! Super hearing rocks! 

Nudge: Don't worry, I talk a lot too, it's normal for people to tell you to be quiet. Don't take it to heart.

Gazzy: I think it's cool how your full name has the word "the" in it. I should start calling myself The Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx.

Angel: Mind powers all the way!!! Woo!

Okay, I'm done for today, unless I finish the next book in my pile later today. I'll still probably wait till tomorrow to review it though. I hope the suspense doesn't kill you! Bye!

I Wanna Fly On A Dragon Too!!

Hello again boys and girls, I am back to dazzle your eyes once more. Did you have a Very Merry Christmas? I did. Did you get any books under the tree? Elephants bamboozle kittens on a magic carpet that loves cheese and artichokes. Just making sure you were paying attention -- You're going to want to for this next book.

So yesterday, somewhere around six o'clock, I finished this awesome book entitled Warrior. But that's not enough information!! There are thousands of books called Warrior out there, but I would be very surprised to find one more awesome than Bryan Davis's version! It is book 2 of 4 in a series bestowed with the name Dragons of Starlight!! The first one was called Starlighter. I don't know about you, but my fuzzy socks are completely rocked. Anyways, if you want it, you got it. If you break it...you buy a new computer. 

Summaryish: Okay, by now you have probably realized that I read a lot of books with secrets and conspiracies and whatnot in them. So -- as you have probably figured out -- this book is going to be hard to summarize. Let me think here for a second...The whole series is about this guy named Jason who goes through a portal to another planet ruled by dragons who have enslaved humans to mine for a gas called "pheterone" (I think that's how you spell it) Then, he meets this slave girl named Koren, who is a Starlighter. What's a Starlighter? you may be thinking. Well, I'll tell you. It's a person who can tell stories so well that they actually appear before you! Like, literally, little ghost things. Jason came to this planet to free all the slaves from their captivity on Starlight (The dragon planet) and return them to Major Four ( The human planet) But here's the conundrom: A prophesied black egg has been laid, and in that egg is an evil baby dragon. That baby dragon is about to hatch, and use Koren's abilities to rule Starlight and Major Four. Then in Warrior, he does hatch!! And then there's a whole bunch of tests, a white dragon, a blind chick who favours the colour black, and a whole bunch of twists and turns and internal battles as well as external. The end. 

Review: This one is totally unlike any of Bryan's other works that I have read! Because in this one, the dragons are the bad guys. Usually the dragons are the good guys, but nope, not today. Most of them are actually quite nasty. Although some of them, like Arxad and Tamminy, are pleasant enough. So that really threw me off when I first started this series, but ohhhh do I love it!!! This book is definitely not lacking in action! Fights, escapes, captures, wolves, more captures, more escapes, and then there's a floating dead girl, what's up with that? Anyways, totally fantastic!! My favourite part was the "I'm trying to save my daddy's life with a stardrop, and then my foot fell through the floor!" part. I know, it was supposed to be a dramatic moment, but I couldn't help laughing!!

Words to the Characters: 

Koren: I see your dilemma, and I feel for you. But, jeez, when it comes to black and white, go with white!! You drive me crazy sometimes, but only because I can see the whole picture.

Elyssa: Why didn't you dance? Dumb question, I already know the answer. But why didn't you dance anyway?

Jason: I gotta say, I am loving your daddy, he has an awesome nose!

Randall: Sorry, nothing to say. I wasn't really paying attention to your part because I was worrying about everyone else...Not that you're not awesome or anything.

I'm done!! Go away!! I'm kidding, I love you so much!! Stay a while, enjoy the view, have some hors d'oeuvres (we're out of meatballs), kick your  feet back. I'm leaving, but you can stay as long as you like! Bye!

I'm Going To Have To Start Using The Periodic Table As Code Now.

Hey everybody!! Wow, it's been a long time. I don't really have an excuse for that today. At least I'm blogging now, right? That's what really counts in the end. Speaking of ending, it's 3:03 and the world hasn't yet. Weird. I was so sure the entire world would explode today. (Not) Well, the day's not over yet!! It would be sad if the world did end though, because my frequently mentioned awesome aunt might come tomorrow! Along with my whole awesome extended family! Fun! Enough with this exchanging pleasantries, let's talk about the book. 

So I just finished this book by Catherine Jinks called Evil Genius. I know, I know. I'm terrible. Look at me -- trying to replace Artemis Fowl. I thought this new genius might help me get over Artemis, but it's not. I miss him more than ever now. The Eoin Colfer boycott continues. Anyways. You can get this book, which is part of a trilogy (I don't know the formal name of the series, though) HERE....Sorry, here

Summaryish: Okay, this being a book full of conspiracies, secrets, lies, plans, and general naughtiness, it's going to be hard to summarize. I just give you the gist: It's about this 14 year old guy (Most of the time he was a guy, some of the time he was forced to wear a girl disguise) named Cadel who is a genius. His foster parents aren't very nice, but his real dad is worse. In fact, his dad --who is in jail, by the way -- built a school just for his son. Bad side: It's to teach him how to be evil and take over the world. It has classes like forgery, basic lying, disguise, and embezzlement. Not a nice place to be. Especially if you don't want to be evil. I cannot give away anymore, alas. But I will tell you that a whole bunch of interesting stuff happens. Including, but not limited to: Poisoning, kidnapping, theft (grand auto and others), and fights (verbal and other). And then there's the conspiracies. All in all, pretty action packed. 

Review: Yay! We're finally to the review part!! Definitely not as good as Artemis Fowl. I love geniuses, but Cadel didn't talk or act like a good genius should. He said "uh" a lot.  That's not even a word. Arte said "er" once and was appalled at himself. Anyways; other than that, it was fantastic!!! Catch-your-breath-excitement is found on every page! I had to tear myself away from the pages when I needed to use the restroom. And even then, I read an extra two chapters before I actually got up. In my opinion, this book was very well thought out. Everything ties into something else somehow or another, right down to the spacesuit. A very spectacular read. I will be getting the second and third just as soon as possible! 

Words to the Characters:

Cadel: Sweety, I'm getting the same feeling about you as a got about Brawn when I read Stronger: I can't decide whether to hug you or run away. You're so innocent-looking and your story is so pitiful that I can't help but want to hug you. But at the same time I'm worried that if I do Thaddeus or Luther will do something entirely unfriendly in return. 

Thaddeus: Just so you are aware, you don't scare me one bit. So there.

Dr. Darkkon: I  think I like your old name better, Vernin Bobrick. It's so much more scientific than Phineas Darkkon. But Darkkon does kind of fit you, since you're the bad guy and all. 

There you have it, today's post is over. Tomorrow might not even be here, according to the Mayans, so you better enjoy this while you can. Good bye!!

And This Is Why I'm Terrified Of Phones.

Hey everyone!!! Wowzers, how long has it been? Two, three days? I need to step it up, read more. I mean, 288 pages shouldn't take me three whole days. Anyways, I was just reading some of my old posts, and it seems I always have something bad to say about most books. I always thought I was a pretty laid back reader, and here I am, always finding something bad to say. I'm going to make an effort to try to look only at the positives. Well, maybe I shouldn't because it would be dishonest to only talk about the good things in books. I'm just going to continue what I've been doing.

So, I just finished this book called iBoy by Kevin Brooks, I am under the impression that it is not a series, and you can get it...here. It's kind of short, but it took even me a little less than two days. Or was it three? I started it on the 14th after 9pm, and finished it today, the 16th, mere seconds before 1:31. Would that be two days, three days, or two and a half? I don't know. 

Summaryish: This book is about a 16 year old dude who lives in London somewhere, but on the "bad" side of town. Like with gangs and stuff. So basically; someone throws a phone at him and he gets little bits of it lodged in his brain, and it kind of fuses with his thoughts. He is given unbelievable power, like, in-brain Google, he can listen in on phone calls, call people from his head, and all sorts of stuff. Oh, and he also has this shimmery skin that glows with information and zaps people. Using his extraordinary new talents, he decides to cause a big brouhaha and break up all the gangs because they hurt his friend. Did that give a little too much away? Sorry if I just ruined it for you. 

Review: Okay, this story was really great, as was the whole identity crisis thing in the middle!!! I love a good identity crisis!! Woohoo! But, now for the bad side: The swearing. My internal censor was overworked and underpaid during this book. The f and s words were EVERYWHERE! I just couldn't escape them. I hate it when books have bad words in them. This one probably had more profanity than Of Mice and Men and Grapes of Wrath combined!! Oi veh!!! Other than that it was great!!  I am a huge fan of witty banter, and this book was definitely not lacking!! I was rocking back and forth near the end because I was so caught up in the story! 

Words for the Characters. 

Tommy: I wish I had an iPhone in my mind. A computer might be better, though, telephones scare me. But it would be cool to be able to have all the knowledge already in your head than having to learn it the old fashioned way. 

Lucy: I just want to give you a hug so badly!!! Cyber squeeze. Feel better? I do. 

That is it for today everybody!!! See you next time!! Unless I don't. Which would be sad.

I Wish I Were In A Tree Right Now.

Hello hello hello! It's been so long since I last blogged!! I missed you so much!! Thank's for coming, it means a lot to me. So how long exactly has it been? Gee wizzers, at least since the 8th! Sorry it's been taking me so long. But I have an excuse!!! The book I was reading was boring, in my opinion, and it was long. Not that I don't like to read long books, I do, but not when they are boring. Shiver. 

So I just finished reading this book called A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. If you want to buy it, you can look HERE. It's not serial. But I don't think I'd want to read cereal anyway. See what I did there? Ha ha. Sometimes I read serial books while eating cereal, but that's different. Anyways...

Summaryish: I think I can summary more than usual because it's not a series and it barely has a recognizable plot, it basically just follows the life of a Brooklyn girl and documents all the struggles that go along with being born in the early 1900's to a poorish family. So it starts out with Francie (the Brooklyn girl I just told you about) as an 11 year old, but then it kind of backtracks into a place before she was born. It tells about how her parents grew up, and all about her aunts and uncles and stuff. Then it goes back to her being 11, and she grows up. The End. 

Review: Okay, I have to admit that, even though at first I was really bored and going to bed late on purpose, as the book progressed, it got significantly more tolerable, I even started enjoying myself...just a little. It was a really great book, the last half of Chapter 33 being the best, but I much prefer aliens, explosions, and maybe a little natural disaster every once in a while. But hey, that's just me. If you like regular books about life, struggles, sibling love/rivalry, and death not caused by a plane crash, and maybe even a little "first love" mixed in, read this book. But if you are like me, only read this if your bag full of books is unbalanced and you need a classic to even it out. If I had to put it under a column, it would be under the "eh" heading. Neither good nor bad. Just....eh. 

Words for the characters:

Johnny: For some reason, and on a very small level, the drunkenness kind of "fits" you.  Not that getting drunk is okay or anything. It's like you wouldn't be human if you didn't drink because then you'd just be too perfect to stand. 

Francie: I like reading too!! What a coinkeedink. I just don't read a book a day. I have however finished three books in one day before. 

Neeley: I can't think of anything to say to you...sorry.

Katie: I just can't believe you actually have a FAVOURITE kid!!!!! That kind of makes you less awesome. I mean, you just don't have a favourite kid. That's like picking a favourite Artemis Fowl book.

Lee: Meany. 

There you are!! It is now up to you to decide whether you add this book to your slowly diminishing To Read list in order  to beef it up a little or watch it evaporate into a blur of highlighter and wrinkly paper.

A Momentous Occasion In All Of Blog History.

Hey party people!! I hope your day is going fantastic!! I also hope that this blog post makes your fantastic day 10 times better making it an awesometatiousfulicious day!!! This is a momentous occasion, dearest reader. Do you know why? Of course you don't! I haven't told you yet!!! This is terribly amazing because this is the second time I've talked about this series!! Yay!!!! I reviewed the book that came before this one not too long ago!!

So, I just finished this book called The Doomsday Code by Alex Scarrow book 3 of 7(?) in the TimeRiders series...sounding familiar??? I reviewed the second book, Day of the Predator, right here on this blog! Oh! And I thought it would be nice if I included an Amazon link from here on out so that if you want to buy the book, you can. Also if you would like a better review and summary you can get one!!! Here you go: Click here for the Amazon link! And, you can click HERE for my earlier review, because I don't want to summarize the whole series for the second time. 

Summaryish: Okay, this is a pretty secretive series. I mean, it's about a SECRET agency. Dare I risk summarizing? I do. I do dare. This time around, the TimeRiders have a pretty easy wave to stop...At the beginning. Just a new movie based off a manuscript some teenage hacker dude decoded a few slivers of. No big whoop  right? Until...the big until...Maddy decides to check it out, and accidentally leaves a clue as to where and when to find the team. And this dude does. Find them that is.  So let's get this straight: An outsider (as in doesn't know about the agency) finds out about the agency. He shows up at their door and demands to have all their money. I'm kidding, actually he's all like "Who are you?" in his charming English accent. And the rest is history. Literally, the rest actually is history. A wrong one. Meaning Liam and the support units travel back to 1194 to make sure King Richard doesn't find the Holy Grail. Wow. That was hard to summarize, and I probably did an awful job. Oh well. I'll do better next time, I promise. 

Review: Hmm...What is my opinion on this book? Hate. dislike, like, love, or adore??? Yeah, I'm going to have to go neutral on this one. It had everything a good book needs: action and time travel. But...I don't know. Maybe there was a little too much action? The same thing happened in the last book. It wasn't perfectly balanced between action and suspense and breathing room. Also, there were a lot of plans, and  a lot of them went right. That's not good; plans should almost always go wrong!! That's what makes books awesome!!!  Anyways. I liked the book, but maybe -- I never thought I'd say this -- slow it down a little? Or at least stop killing everybody, that's not even nice. 

Words for the Characters: 

Bob: So good to have you back big feller! Sorry about your arm by the way.

Becks: I never thought I'd see you behave so lady-like. Way to adapt girl friend!!!

Maddy: Way to go on not cursing as much! I'm so proud of you!

Sal: Honey, where are you in this story? You keep disappearing. Maybe in the next one it'll have more of you (my favourite character) in it!!

Liam: Thanks for shaving, you didn't look good in the beard. By the way you're 16 right? Or are you 17? I can't remember. 

Adam: I love English accents, and what is Dungeons and Dragons about? I've always wanted to play, but I don't know how. 

There you have it! This momentous occasion is drawing to a close. Bye everybody! Don't forget to comment, I feel like people I've never even met are reading this!

This One Isn't About A Book.

Hello everybody. Sorry about the lack of excess explanation marks, I am just too outraged to exaggerate my enthusiasm. About what things am I outraged? you may ask. Well, I'll tell you...No, I'll show you. 

vs. 

What is this???? They gave CINDERELLA a MAKE-OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They just can't do that. You just don't make-over the Disney princesses. Who gave this the okay?? We should join up and protest. No seriously. We can all make signs and stand outside Disney Land and voice our opinions. I'll bring the lemonade. (But don't come unless you're as flabbergasted as I, you're not supposed to protest unless you have a reason) I am so shocked. I just had to tell you about it. But I promise I will only use this blog for books in the future...unless of course something as shocking  this happens again.

Wow. Just Wow.

Hello!! I was just looking at my "Stats" page, and it turns out people in Germany and the United Kingdom look at my blog! Isn't that cool!  I think it is. Anyways. This post is actually going to be really short because...Well, you'll see.

So, I just finished this book called Human.4 by Mike A. Lancaster, and it better be part of a series, or I'm going to be really upset. Give me a sec here, I'm going to check the author's website... YAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 There already is a sequel! In the US it is called The Future We Left Behind Mysterious...In some different country it is called 1.4....I'm so excited1!!!!! 

Summaryish: I was just about to start summarizing this book...when I realized I can't. Not because it's complicated. Not because the beginning gives away the end. Nothing like that at all. I just can't. Why? you may ask with a slight frown and maybe a misty eye or two. Because, I say with a compassionate cadence, if I even attempt to summarize this, it will spoil my memory of it's awesomeness. And even for you reader -- And I would die for you -- I cannot risk ruining this book in my mind. You'll just have to take my word for it that it's awesome. 

Review:  Gee wizzers. Wow. I love this book! I'm not going to tell you about how much I liked the way it was written -- That would demote it from Hopefully Something That Actually Can Happen In The Future down to Memory Of A Loved But Sadly Fictitious Book. I can't let that happen...It was too real for me. It's just too awesome to tell you anything about it. 

No words for the characters today. 

"Awwww" you say, finally letting the unshed tears fall.

"I'm sorry!" I say passionately. "Talking to the characters would require me to analyze them to find out the best thing to tell them. And, as aforementioned, I love this book too much to analyze it."

"Oh, okay," says you, as you scroll down to finish reading this post.

Anyways, I would love it if everyone who reads this post would comment, I'd like to get to know my readers. I love y'all so much it makes sense that you would tell me who I am loving.

Don Don Doooon...A Bad Review? Gasp!

Hey everyone! I promised a second posting today, and that promise is coming to fruition right now! You're excited, who wouldn't be? I'm super excited because I just love blogging, especially since I know awesome people like you are reading it!  So welcome, let's get started!

Okay, it was....Saturday I think that I finished Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. It is not a series, simply a stand alone non-fiction novel. I know. Non-fiction? Crazy that I, Xxxxxx, would be reading non-fiction. But I did. And I regret it.

Summaryish: Okay, so basically this book is just about this dude who builds schools for Pakistani children and helps out in Afghanistan during the war and becomes an American hero after failing to summit K2 blah blah blah. (Hint: I didn't like this book, so you might want to go to a different website if you want unbiased reviews and summaries) That's pretty much it. Except that he get's kidnapped and lost a few times.

Review: Oi veh...this was torture. No, worse than torture....this was a not very entertaining book. Shiver. The horror!!! The horror!!! Anyways, I probably didn't like this because it was non-fiction. I'm just not a non-fiction kind of person. I felt like I was reading a cross between a history lesson, a geography lesson, and a newspaper article. None of those are things of which I am particularly fond.  Oh well. This book would probably be better if there was a glossary. I have no idea what a Shadra kamiz is. Just saying. I don't even think I spelled that right. By the way, this was probably a good book, I just didn't like it.

I'm not going to speak to the characters today, because I never got to know them. Sadly, this book was too factual.

802,701 Reasons To Read This Book

I am so sorry readers. I've been slacking off. I finished this book on September 29 and here I am, not reviewing it until the 3 of the next month. I feel so bad. Sniffle. I hope you can forgive me. To make it up to you, I'll be posting twice today. Once for this book, and another for a different book. I'm actually really excited about the next post because it won't be like any of my other ones. 

So, I finished reading The Time Machine by H.G. Wells a few days ago (sorry again!). It is not part of a series, but it was published a way long time ago in like, the 19th century. And we're in the 21st so that's pretty far back. Anyways, this paragraph is coming to a close because there is nothing else I can say about the physicality of this book, I can only speak of its innards now. 

Summaryish: Okay, I think I can tell you a lot about this book, because the back of the cover says some pretty revealing stuff. It all starts at a dinner party, where this guy (His name is censored, we just call him The Time Traveler) gives a demonstration to a bunch of people about time travel. Then, a week later, another dinner party takes place. Except that this time the Time Traveler is not present, he staggers in a while into it, and demands meat.  This is because he claims to have traveled into the future to the year 802,701, where the diet is strictly vegetarian. He spends eight days there, but not because he wants to spend so many nights in the future! No! Because the Morlocks, nocturnal underground human things, have stolen his Time Machine!!! So he is forced to stay in the future where he lives with the peaceful Eloi, who are calm and carefree future versions of humans. Once he finally get's his machine back, he travels even farther into the future! This far ahead, there are no human, just giant crab-like creatures in a sandy world. 

Review: This was fantastic!! My mouth was literally not closed throughout the entire book, I was too busy gasping and gaping!! When The Time Traveler descended into the world of the Morlocks...I had chills!! When the matches ran out, I almost screamed in despair! However, if you prefer books written in today's English, I suggest you find a different version. The language was easily understandable and all, it was just kind of oldish. I like books like that, so it's all good here. Anyways, I give it a A-, the minus because it was so short, and I wanted it to go on forever! P.S. Why is it that in the past, people capatalized stuff like "Nature, Time, Length, Height, and Thickness"? Weird. 

Words for the characters. 

Time Traveler: What is your name??? It's been driving me crazy!
