Review: This World We Live In by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Title: This World We Live In
Author: Susan Beth Pfeffer
Genre: YA, Post-apocalyptic
Perfect for: At this point, I'd recommend this series to everyone
Release Date: April 2010
Life hasn't been the same since a meteor hit the moon and moved it closer to the earth. We've seen it from the eyes of Miranda, the suburban girl, and from the eyes of the city dweller, Alex. Now we come to the stunning conclusion of the story that has made us all wonder 'what if'. In "This World We Live In", we are back in the suburbs with Miranda and her family. It's April and although they survived the harsh winter, life is not getting any better. Food shortages are a threat and you never know what the weather will be doing. When her father arrives with his wife, child, a middle aged man named Charlie, and two kids, Alex and Julie Morales, life is turned even more upside down. How can they feed so many mouths, including a nursing mother and infant? And then there's Alex, the city boy just Miranda's age... Is there a place for love in this crazy world they live in? You'll find out in the conclusion of The Moon Trilogy.
Goodness me... Goodness me... Is this really the conclusion? Can I have another book or two? I'm jumping ahead of myself...
Let me start off with the characters in "This World We Live In". It's hard not talking about the characters as if they're real living breathing people. I loved seeing Miranda, Alex, and Julie together. It made for an interesting dynamic. Characters from two different worlds meeting in this completely new world where their background doesn't matter-- just survival, and in the case of Alex and Miranda--love. Is it a healthy love? I don't know. Alex is definitely not in the most healthy mindset, in my opinion and Miranda, well, it would be hard not to be a little boy starved if you've been crammed in with only your brothers for the past year of your life.
The story read like its companions and could easily be described as a page turner. I read "This World We Live In" in one sitting, that's how into it I was. The tone follows suit with its companions, as well. While there are some pretty depressing bits, there are glimmers of light, albeit small glimmers, but glimmers nonetheless. The events that happened throughout the novel didn't feel forced or out of place. They felt like they belonged in the story, however much you wish they hadn't happened. I won't spoil you with specifics, but I think you'll understand what I mean when you read this book (and you will want to read this book!).
This is definitely one of those books you'll want to talk about.. I know I turned to my mom the moment I finished and started asking her about her opinions on the book. The ending is abrupt. You'll want more. Actually, the ending irritated me, because I'm a sucker for happy endings, but really, it wouldn't be fair to the story or the readers to give us a sugar-coated ending for the sake of the ending the trilogy. (I guess)
Overall, read this book (after the first two, of course). Excellent writing combined with realistic characters and a fantastic story make this a must read.

Saturn--it is timing, baby!
Saturn and his Greek cousin God Cronus are the gods of Time, Timing and Time Management (Thus, the word Chronology.) Uranus is the planet of weird and strange and for the last year we have been in a ping pong war with Saturn and Uranus in opposition. During this time we certainly had some of the weirdest things come up that almost defy all logic. For example, Ted Kennedy the senator known for championing health care dies during this opposition. Naturally, his Senate seat opens up. At this same time, The Obama Administration puts all guns on Health Care. Kennedy's seat goes to a special election and the liberal 'shoe in' loses to a little known republican candidate Scott Brown. As we know, he wins, the Senate changes its numbers and the Health Care Bill is Morte. Or close to it.
That, my friends is weird.
We have had so many of these types of stories since the opposition began last year and we will continue to have odd, unexplainable even when you are explaining them events while this opposition builds. The next exact date is April 26 but the influence is like a fog bank. We're always feelingn it.
This week while Saturn squared Pluto I could not help but notice something so odd it reminded me of our weirdo time window.
Machu Pichu the NY,NY of ancient Incas is kind of over--at least for awhile. Over two thousand tourists who were crawling around the ruins were trapped by raging waters and had to be rescued by Peruvian army helicopters. The area is so destroyed by raging Earth that Machu Pichu will remain cloistered for perhaps a very long time. Curiously, this week on PBS Nova will be airing Ghosts of Machu Pichu
Be prepared to see more strange, weird things in the news and NOTE the timing.
Make decisions without your television
Mo!
Tämä viikko on mennyt ainakin osaksi ihan mukavissa merkeissä. :)
Vaikka minulla on vielä viikko työssäoppimista jäljellä Cittarin pukeutumispuolella, perjantaina oli arviointi, koska ensiviikolla ohjaajani ei ole paikalle. Ja voi sitä kehujen määrää! Oli melkein kiusallista kuunnella sellaista ylistystä ohjaajani suusta, ja sainkin kaikista eri arviointikohdista kolmosen, eli parhaan. :--D Itse en sentään ihan niin hyviä arvosanoja itselleni anatanut itsearvioinnissa.. Mutta kyllä kelpaa! Toivon todella että tulevaisuudessa minulla olisi yhtä ihana pomo/pomoja kuin tämänhetkinen.
Tuli myös tehtyä pari ostostä tällä viikolla, kun torstaina käväisin Seppälässä. Mukaan tarttui tämä kuvassa muodottomalta näyttävä löllömekko.
Tuota mekkoa sovittaessani äitini toi sovituskoppiin nämä seuraavat shortsit, ja ihme kyllä ne olivat ostamisen arvoiset! Hintaa oli alennuksen jälkeen vain 5 €. :) Ne ovat sellaista vähän kiiltävää ja sileää kangasta, vähän niinkuin satiinia. Yksityiskohtina niittejä.

Olin jo aiemmin viikolla bongannut tämän seuraavan laukun töissä, ja miettimisen jälkeen se oli pakko saada. Laukkuja ei voi olla liikaa, ja yleensä kannan hirveästi tavaraa mukanani, joten tämä on juuri hyvän kokoinen. Luultavasti hyvä myös koululaukkuna. Kiiltonahka=♥
Hinnaksi jäi -40% alennuksen jälkeen n. 24€.
Vuorikin on nätti.
Ostettiin myös pitkästä aikaa ihania pinkkejä Reilun kaupan ruusuja. :) Vaikkapa juhlistamaan synttäreitäni vähän myöhäisesti. :D Noita on kiva katsella arjen keskellä.
Viikonloppuni oli valitettavasti taas kerran tylsää kotona koomailua. Onneksi kuitenkin tuli lainattua kirjastosta tämä HIM-kirja, jota olenkin lueskellut. Kirja on hyvä niille jotka haluavat lisää varsinkin faktatietoja HIM:n jätkistä, mutta on se vähän tylsää luettavaa. Vilu, tiedän että luet tämän joskus, joten eikös olemassa ollutkin joku härö HIM-kirja?
Kuva otettu kirjasta.
Tätä päivää piristi onneksi se, että olin serkkujeni Katjan ja Riikan luona sen aikaa, kun vanhempamme kävivät katsomassa jonkun Havukka-Ahon ajattelijan. :D Luritettiin laulaa Sing Staria, ja höpöteltiin vaan.
Serkkutytöissä on mm. se hyvä puoli, että he ovat aina innokkaina ottamassa minusta päivänasukuvia. :--) Maran pikku apureita. ♥
Päälle pääsi heti uusi mekko. :P Tuota voi pitää myös pussimaisesti, kun kääntää tuon helman sisäänpäin.
♥ mekko, clutch & kaulakoru: Seppälä
♥ neule & rannekoru: H&M
♥ vyö: äidin vanha
♥ Reinot: Katjan
Ihan omituista, huomenna alkaa viimeinen viikko Cittarissa. Sen jälkeen onkin "enää" n. neljä kuukautta kesälomaan. Ää, kesä ja valo, tule jo! Tätä jumalatonta pakkasta tasapainottamaan kunnon hellekesä olisi tervetullut.
Wuhuu, koulun myötä palaavat päivittäiset päivän asujen miettimiset! Ei enää neliömäistä suunnilleen XXL-kokoa vastaavaa työpaitaa eikä sinistä asua. \o/
Päivän kuvat:
Äitini leipoi vähän pannaria. :---D Uskokaa tai älkää, mutta tuota edeltävässä pellillisessä oli vielä isompi pahkura, mutta en kerennyt hätiin kameran kanssa. :--(
PS. Tiistaina blogini täyttää kaksi vuotta! Harmi vaan että en saanut aikaiseksi tehdä mitään arvontaa yms. :| Saa ehdottaa jotain postausideaa tiistaille, jos vaikka saisin tehtyä jonkun vähän erikoisemman postauksen. Valon olematon määrä kyllä rajoittaa postausideoita. :/

Dog on train
I have no astrology angle for this story. I just could not resist putting it up. Dogs in Russia have taught themselves how to ride the rails. Amazing. My guess? They are all Sages.
J.D Salinger: 1919-2010
The author of 'Catcher in the Rye' died January 28th, 2010 at the age of 91. While I am not a fan of his works, he has made a huge mark in the writing world. Rest in Peace, Mr. Salinger.

Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday famous on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the English-speaking countries, it is the customary day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, present flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs name Valentine. The day became linked with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourishes.
The day is the majority closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines". Modern Valentine cipher includes the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have mainly given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

Valentine's Day Lyrics
Linkin Park - Valentine's Day Lyrics
Songwriters: Bennington, Chester; Farrell, Dave; Shinoda, Mike; Delson, Brad; Hahn, Joseph; Bourdon, Robert;
My insides all turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path had lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you're gone, and I was wrong
I never knew what it was like, to be alone
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path had lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you're gone, and I was wrong
I never knew what it was like, to be alone
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)

Saturn Square Pluto - Part 2
Round 2: Saturn VS Pluto
January 31 4:27 PM EST
Well, we all know (since I go on and on about it) that since November (11/15) we have had tension between Saturn and Pluto. We had the first round in November the second is coming up and the third is in August. The thing is these guys travel with tough armament. Sledgehammers, bombs, scalpels, TNT, wrecking balls ---do these sound like puppies and flowers? Nope. It is a tough aspect and round two is Sunday (1/31). Of course, with the outer planets it does not mean it all happens on that day, in truth we have been feeling it all month(cough, cough, Haiti, Supreme Court, cough, cough) but god knows this weekend with the big ass full Moon adds to the tension. Sigh.
How we relate (Libra) is pushed and pulled by our need to evolve (Pluto) and we must build new structures (Saturn) for the greater world (Capricorn). What does that mean? Have you seen sledgehammers and wrecking balls in your relationships? How do your relationships work? Are you the strong one? Are you the weak one? Are you the funny one? Are you the great follower? Are you the leader? Whatever you are doing may or may not be working for you.
There is no doubt that a lot of the tension will be centered on money. One of my favorite lyrics of all time reminds me of Pluto in Capricorn, “I’ve got my mind on my money and my money on my mind.” When money is crunched and life gets twisted --what does it do to your relationships? How are you surviving? Less is more, right? If not, then you may have trouble on your hands. And this is ALL relationships. Not just spouses. Anyone you relate with is in the mix. You may scratch your head and say, “is this working?” I don’t care if you are alone and no wife or husband but you suddenly realize that your relationship with your dry cleaners is not suiting you. Or your relationship with your boss or your co-worker. All relationships are being scrutinized and if Pluto does not see the value----well, like I said, that relationship might not be there by the end of summer. Or perhaps you will be the one who makes the big changes and the relationship is stronger for it. It is hard to tell and that is probably why we are getting a few rounds of this aspect so that we have some time to figure stuff out.
FWIW, I think it is interesting that the World Economic Summit which is basically a BigMoney Big Shot convention is taking place in Davos, Switzerland this weekend. There is talk that they are going to step up and try to help Greece from going bankrupt. Can they do it? And at what cost? I feel sledghammers are flying through the air. Anyone remember that Ridley Scott Commercial ala 2001?

Leo Full Moon
Full Moon
10 Degrees Leo 14
Friday January 30 - 1:18am
When the Moon is in Leo we are full of ourselves, we feel prideful, we feel our hearts swell, we are generous, we are magnanimous, we exaggerate (maybe lie), we brag, we try a little harder with someone because we care so big and we personalize everything. We just are simply three letters… B-I-G. Every 28 days we get a Moon in Leo. Great.
Now what do we do when that big ol’ dramatic Moon-- is Full? If we are smart we put on our flame proof suit and get ready for action. Okay now what do we do when the Full Leo Moon has got Mars the warrior on it? And the Sun is opposite with Venus in its hip pocket? I dunno but I can tell you Mr Steroid and Ms Diva are in the house.
Are we going to be evolved and stretch ourselves to go for our passion (Mars) and let our sincere (Leo) feelings (Moon) guide us while at the same time include community (Aquarius) and goals (sun) and love (Venus)?
Sounds great. Sign me up.
But at the same time when it comes to this full moon we could also feel stretched and tense (full ), argumentative (Mars) demanding, wanting, everything to change (Sun in Aquarius) and feeling unsure (Moon) of our resources (Venus).
I have a hard time getting my head around that this will be one of our garden variety Full Moon weekends. I gotta think there will be fireworks somewhere on Friday leaving a big mess for the weekend.
And it doesn’t help that the Saturn Squares Pluto on Sunday the 31st.
Thank God Saturn trines the Sun so won’t completely fall apart. Somewhere in the messy weekend we find a Spine and perhaps reign in the crazy.
Or maybe we hide in our chiropractor’s office.
ETA: Btw---the reason why this moon is So Damn bright...is due to its closest proximity to Earth. The closest this year. How perfectly Leo.
