My
personal opinion is that it is by far the best; they have eliminated most of
the shaky camera and close up shots of faces. The story was changed just a
little so there would be flow for the end of the books. It wasn’t something
that I really minded but most people pointed out that Gale is more aggressive
and agitated than in the books. I fully believe that the make-up/CGI that was
used on Peeta was on point. It truly showed how malnourished he was becoming.
That was something that I was lacking in the other movies. (It’s called the
HUNGER Games for a reason!) I brought that point up to my sister and she
disagreed. So I pulled out logic and references, so she conceded a little.
So, The Bane Chronicles by
Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson, Sarah Rees, Cassandra Jean (Author and
Illustrator) were originally released individually as e-shorts but all ten of
the stories are combined in to a book released November 11. These stories
are about the enigmatic, flamboyant and AMAZING Magnus Bane. I believe that it
is widely accepted if not canon, that these stories are the stories that Magnus
wrote down for Alec. While we are on the subject of Magnus and Alec, I believe
that they might be one of my favorite couples of time. I haven’t read these
stories yet, I wanted to read The Infernal Devices first, but I have yet to
read those either. 
I was trying to figure out a play on words with psyched and psikid (they sound the same...almost). But I just wasn't sure if it would translate.
Anyhoo, my nails for the first half of this month were in honor of 'In the Afterlight' by Alexandra Bracken. My ring and middle fingers were first painted with a brown color. Then I took balled up cellophane and dipped it in blue nail polish. Holding it with tweezers I dabbed on the color. I repeated with yellow and orange polish. On my ring finger I drew on the Psi symbol in black.
[If we're being picky technically it's the symbol for the PSF's, but we all know the east river kids took it up as their banner.]
Now one might ask why the colors I chose. The brown was just a neutral color that wasn't too dark or light. Blue, yellow and orange are Liam, Chubs, Zu and Ruby's colors. I did the psi symbol in black because it would show up best...and because the whole "our color is black" thing. Hope you enjoy.
