Yesterday me and Andrea went to Schloss Charlottenburg, and it was awesome! We went on a tour through the building, and then walked around in the garden out back. There are a lot of old paintings and stuff in there. Sophie Charlottenburg, who was a queen of Prussia, collected porcelain, so there was a lot of that.

Pathetic movie made from a surprisingly good fantasy book. Christopher Paolini was a kid when he wrote it and you can tell. I think he used a word-of-the-day calander while writting it. Every 5 or 10 pages he busts out an obscure word, uses it once, and then moves on the next word-of-the-day. Plot and story points are obviously ripped off from other fantacy and science fiction stories. There is a very clear Obi-wan taking Luke under his wing vibe. Why do so many youth fiction novels deal with orphaned children finding out they are the children of some grand inheritance or some such? Somehow, even with obvious leaning on other authors, Paolini still manages to suck you into the story and cheer for his characters.
