American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Third thing I've read by Neil Gaiman. This has to have been my favorite. It was pretty epic. Pretty much all of the ancient gods, myths, and legends are living in America. They get into this major clash with the modern things that America worships (like the Internet, TV, etc.) and there's a big war.

Which doesn't make any sense if you haven't read it, but it's pretty cool.

I expected this book to be a little more interesting than it was. It was fun until maybe the halfway point and then it felt like the authors were trying way to hard to be satirical and the whole thing kind of fizzled.



Other than that, I am halfway through finals. Contracts was okay. Property was slightly trauamatizing. Now I've got to plow through my last two finals. The ones I'm less prepared for.

I went home for the weekend. James's confirmation. It was a lot of fun. I knew I wasn't going to get as much property studying in as I would want for the weekend, so I studied a lot for it during that dead week between the end of classes and the contracts final. I don't think it was the studying that would have prepped me for it. Whatever.

Saw Wolverine this weekend. It was fun. Except like Gambit kept on losing his accent which was slightly annoying. Also, they kind of killed the Deadpool storyline. And why was Chahlie only in there for 13 seconds? I don't know. It was a fun movie though. A LOT better than X3. That doesn't say much though.

That's about it. I should go dig myself into the world of constitutional law. I actually was up by myself at 8 this morning. I think that was because I was out by midnight. I'm proud. Going to sell books in a bit and then celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Mexican food in the Mission for lunch.

Also, I'm not digging this St. Vincent album as much as the first one. Hm...
