As I get older it becomes increasingly obvious how much pop culture passes me by. I don’t say this with any regret, but more as a matter of fact. I was never one to watch E television or subscribe to People magazine, but I was always plugged in somehow.
When I started hearing about The Hunger Games about a month ago, I was surprised by how much buzz it generated. To give you an idea of how out of touch I am, I Initially thought it was a cruel new dieting fad. Fast forward to this week and its hard not to hear this movie being mentioned.
As time passes, this movie series like those that came before it will become nostalgic topics for this generation to reminisce about over a drink with friends. But for me, it will always give me a chuckle as I think back to wondering if The Hunger Games was a cruel diet fad.

Oh, definitely not a cruel diet theme!! In fact, there are so many wonderful dishes and food mentions in the books that it blows my mind! In fact, I spent hours and hours last week scouring the internet for the recipes and can’t wait to try some of them: http://blog.myreci.com/happy-hunger-games-and-may-the-odds-be-ever-in-your-favor/
I definitely recommend reading them so someday you can reminisce about the books with that little chuckle 🙂

I hear the 2nd book is called Catching Fire.Start gitnetg yourself familiar with the title for when the movie comes out or you’ll be thinking there’s a firemen-themed party on a Friday night at the local gay club.

I am now into Catching Fire. There is NOTHING remotely gay in any of this – unless Cinna, her gifted designer, comes out of the closet. I am still mourning Rue.
