Hanging out on set with Zoë Nightshade (Saara Chaudry)! Notice her copy of The Titan's Curse, heavily annotated with post-it notes where she has marked "Zoë-isms," the sign of a true professional!

A look behind the scenes from last night's Court of the Dead event. I am feeling judged for some reason.

On this Monday, the day that honors the moon, it seems appropriate to do a shout out to our own goddess of the moon, Artemis (Dafne Keen) and her loyal lieutenant Zoë Nightshade, Saara Chaudry, who are now filming season 3 of Percy Jackson and doing incredible work!

September 13, the Ides of September, was also the Feast of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, when Roman officials had a ceremonial meal with statues of Jupiter, Minerva and Juno dressed in fancy robes and seated on couches. So take your favorite statue out to lunch today!

Someone sent me an Amazon package which is roughly big enough for a football, with "Touchdoowwn!" printed on the side. Far be it from me to tell Amazon how to market, but it might explain why the delivery person apparently spiked the box when he reached our front door.
