Rereadng PJO for the first time in years and cracked myself up late last night imagining Tantalus on Chopped.
Choppedkitchen. Dramatic music swells as Ted Allen lifts a cloche to show a plate. It is completely bare except for a handful of cornflakes scattered haphazardly across it.
Ted: Chef Tantalus, you have been chopped. Judges?
Chris Santos: Chef Tantalus. [His annoyance grows with each syllable of the name.] You didn’tcook anything. You went to the pantry, and you grabbed an armful of ingredients, and then you just ran around throwing them at your competitors. It was the most bizarre thing I have everseen in this kitchen. Never, in the history of this show, has a contestant just walked up behind someone and tossed an entire raw sheep’s heart into their gazpacho. That wasn’t just unprofessional—it was disturbing.
Tantalus: It wasn’t—
Chris: And honestly, I wouldn’t be so annoyed if you’d just left the plates empty. But this? [He gestures to his plate, which contains three pieces of Lucky Charms and a single, moon-shaped marshmallow.] This is an insult. It’s for these reasons we had to chop you.
Tantalus: I didn’t throw that stuff around—the Mist—I’m just hungry!
Chris: Well, if you were hungry for a win, you should’ve given us more than a handful of cereal, which wasn’t even a basket ingredient.
Tantalus: No, I’m literally—
Chris: You can go, thank you.
Cut to hallway. There is no voice over with Tantalus detailing his thoughts and hopes for the future. Two uniformed security guards drag him away from the kitchen as he screams.
Tantalus: [bleep] YOU, DEMETER! I KNOW YOU DID THIS! [bleep] YOU!

PERCY JACKSON and THE OLYMPIANS (The Sea of Monsters)
Rating 4/5
I think if I hadn’t seen this as a movie I would’ve liked it a lot more. The book was in fact better, but the big end chapter when Thalia is brought back to life would have been so much better to read if I hadn’t already known. I gave it a 4 however because I literally have never laughed so much reading a book! This book was FUNNY! Percy is so sarcastic and well, so perfectly 12 years old! I like that these character are so young, and they fall for things that an older character might not fall for. They are so brave too.
Happy to continue the series! Going forward it is all new to me; I’ve never read this book series and there are no movies for the rest of it.

Thalia: So what’s it like dating Percy?
Annabeth: I asked him for a glass of water one day when he was mad at me
Annabeth: He brought me a cup of ice and told me to wait
Sea of Monsters ♀️
Yes, I am 20 year old reading Percy Jackson for the first time.
“She started to sob-I mean horrible, heartbroken sobbing. She put her head on my shoulder and I held her.
Fish gathered to look at us-a school of barracudas, some curious marlins.
Scram! I told them.
They swam off, but I could tell they went reluctantly. I swear I understood their intentions. They were about to start rumors flying around the sea about the son of Poseidon and some girl at the bottom of Siren Bay.”
