I'm ALMOST done

TWO DAYS UNTIL I'M FREE!
I'm so excited, even though I love my summer school class and teacher. They're awesome. But I want to sleep in again! AAAAGH! 6 AM! I should not be waking up at 6 AM during the summer.
Also Chicago Comic Con is coming up, my french friend Ester is coming to stay with me in August, and I'll be able to relax. It's going to be fun times. AND IN OCTOBER I'M GOING TO SEE CELTIC THUNDER LIVE!! THEY ARE THE BEST! I JUST GOT TICKETS AND I CAN NOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!! But, um, anyway...
Also, I figured I'd tell you about a book series that I found that I thought I'd be able to laugh at.
So I was walking down the romance section of my local library, picking out random books and reading the back in an over dramatic fashion to my little brother. I picked one up called Angel's Blood by Nalini Singh. I read the back aloud and thought, "I'm going to read this book and I'm going to laugh at all the clicheness and just have a good time making fun of it." Haha no. 
Yep. It sucked me in by the hopeless romantic and kept me there. I'm not reading the sequel. It's good. Shut up. So it's about this vampire hunter Elena and she gets this job from this archangel Raphael. And he's gorgeous and perfect and completely inhumane. He messes with her mind but she's all like "no buddy. you're not getting into my pants." I don't know why she speaks in lower case in my mind, but she does. She's hot headed, he likes playing with her mind and ROMANCE. Did I say romance? I mean pure sex/constant sexual tension. I swear, they introduce the main plot and objective/job in chapter 2, but they don't actually get around to figuring it out until halfway into the book. But it's okay. It was good enough to read the sequel. Even though the first 18 chapters of the sequel has been, "I want the sexy time." "You can't have the sexy time, but I want the sexy time too." "Then why can't we have the sexy time?" "You're too weak. Okay, maybe a little sexy time." I kid you not, that's what the first chapters have been!
I'm in a good mood. Let's go on a rant while I'm at it.
So Man of Steel. I spent $5 on that movie. It wasn't even worth it. I mean it. I was sitting there through the first 30 minutes, not giving a damn about any of the characters. I didn't give a damn by the end.

And I thought movies were supposed to have solid plots and character development. It didn't have any. How can I care about characters with out development or plot? Lois Lane knew who he was by good detective work in a 5 minute montage. He didn't really hide it. All of a sudden they're friends. And after being separated for most of the movie, they kiss at the end. Oh and the lines post kiss? Gibberish. No enunciation. My theater teacher always said that if he can't hear or understand you, you're garbage. That was garbage. And at the end, when did Lois's boss and two random coworkers begin to matter? Those desperate struggles at the end was their only scenes of importance. They didn't even have names I could remember. They weren't like Phil Coulson, the side character that everyone loves, even though he has a handful of scenes. Maybe I'm just a Marvel fan girl, but it still didn't make sense to me. I liked the evil girl though. She was like second in command or something. She was a badass.
So there's my updates and suggestions. 
-Cheers!

 I'm sorry. I'm a bit biased towards Benedict. He came first in my fandom adventures.
