Chapter 18 – At least Arlene is mature enough not to consider the bat a voodoo curse. Is Arlene altruistic? Or seeking to take advantage of Noah by befriending him? Nothing about how she is written makes her seem malicious, but she does call her chance to associate with him a “once in a lifetime opportunity,” like some sort of internship at Google. But then, we can ask the same thing about Donovan, I suppose. In the end of the chapter she concludes that he is her friend, so I guess that’s a plus. 

Chapter 19 – Raina would prefer to hybernate than to live her life. Donovan has become an internet star against his will. The Fibonacci spiral starts appearing around campus. Also, do people really stand on their head a spit nickles? 

The signup sheet for the Fibonacci society brings to mind The Grand Knights of Exalted Karpoozi, which also had a signup sheet that didn’t explain what you were signing up for. And of course, @Raymond is the master of coming up with weird signup sheets. Cooking with Cabbage, anyone? Or maybe a nice seminar on SACGEN? 

@Raymond – I’m pretty sure you missed some frozen yogurt places. Wasn’t there one in OPERATION DO-OVER? Where the team eats all the toppings? Didn’t they hang out in one in MIXED UP? I wonder what the first mention of fro-yo was, and if we’re forgetting even earlier ones.
