For those of you who don’t know Cystic Fibrosis is “a common hereditary disease which affects the entire body, causing progressive disability and often late death…  Difficulty breathing is the most serious symptom and results from frequent lung infections that are treated, though not cured, by antibiotics and other medications.  A multitude of other symptoms, including sinus infection, poor growth, diarrhea, and infertility result from the effects of CF on other parts of the body.”  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cistic_fibrosis)

I took my mom to go and see Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief yesterday, and I was actually pretty happy with the movie.  I went in with no expectations, which I guess let me enjoy it a bit more than I would have otherwise.  Mind you, I now have to urge to throw water around … ah how I wish I could do what they could!  And woah, those Converse sneakers of Hermes were totally awesome!  They had wings!!
