Just 40 minutes ago I finished a book called, "From The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler". The title is a bit long but it has a purpose in the book so it's not bad. At first, I thought this book was going to be a waste of my time and energy. During the first day of reading it, I still thought that. But since yesterday and today, this book has been really intriguing. Let me put up a summary of it, a kid named Claudia takes her little brother with her to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There they learn all different types of stuff at the exhibits and act as if the museum is there very own for a few days. While there the two kids are interested in the case of whether or not a statue that the museum itself has bought, is the work of Michelangelo (did not copy the book).
It really is a good book and has a Newberry medal. I'm assuming this book has been made around fifty years ago because there is a sticker on it saying, "Celebrating Fifty Years". After finishing this book I still needed a few more minutes and decided to start reading 'The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle". This was the book I got from the library with my dad. For some reason, I knew this book would be interesting because it was about gods and sure enough it was. What I've read so far is how Apollo (god) was sent to Earth by Zeus as punishment for some nonsense he has done. That was when he is met by two men who proceed to rob him. However, a 12-year-old girl named, "Meg" helps him while still taking his money. Along the way, Apollo meets up with Percy Jackson (demi-god) and they help him regain his powers.
That is all I know so far, but as the story progresses so does my knowledge of the book. Speaking of "gods", yesterday when my dad left I found a game called, "Smite". I know I've talked about this game before but was never really interested because my controls weren't right. However, yesterday was when I found out how to play and boy do I enjoy it. The game is a MOBA and short for "Multiplayer Online Battle Arena". I have two other posts that talk about this game but never really mention the features and how its played. Mainly just the playable "gods" themselves. This game lets you pick from a wide variety of gods, some are Greek, others are Chinese or Japenese, and even Hindu is in them. There are many gods and every sort of mythology has around 10 to choose from.
The method on how to play is all about your mouse and keyboard. I didn't know how to play at first because this game is meant to be for Windows or (Microsoft). Howeve,r you can play it on Mac (Apple) if you just switch some of the buttons on the keyboard around. That was how I did it and this game is actually pretty fun. I don't know why I quit playing it. Oh, now I know why. Before I could only use it on my Playstation Four but that took too much space so I deleted it. That is why I decided to play it on the computer. Every different "God" has there own abilities and powers. The mythology I like the most is asian. That means either the Japenese or the Chinese. I'm going to show you one picture of a Chinese god.

Google News
Two 60 foot yachts were engulfed in flames two days ago at the "Liberty Harbor Marina in Downtown New Jersey". The fire department quickly responded to the emergency and saw a man self evacuate himself from his yacht. However, in the other yacht (nearby) a woman was trapped and firefighters thankfully rescued her. The cause of the fire is being investigated. I would really be surprised is this was related to the fire in NYC but I know that could never happen because during the NYC fire it was a 3 year old child who caused trouble. I feel that was kind of selfish for the man to escape the fire by himself but maybe he just didn't see the woman on the other yacht (hopefully). I saw a video on the fire and it was pretty bad, the good thing was that the fire trucks were only a block away. Anyway, that is it for today!
