Strange Angels by Lili St. Crow



!! SPOILER ALERT !!


"This book was so good. Think of it as Supernatural with a teenage girl and two pretty good-looking boys. It's not cliche, though. At least, not to me. Dru, the main character, her father? Zombie. Oh yeah, she shoots him in her living room. Her mother? Vampire Hunter extraordinare. Best friend? Skinchanger. Oh yeah, she's got it all.

What I really liked about this was that it kept me reading. I finished this book in 2 days, and it was one of my favorites. I borrowed it from the library, but somewhere along the line, this will be a purchase. I was never quite sure what would happen next, and it was quite the thrill-ride.

Only twice was I bothered by something in this book--and it was nothing to complain about. Talking about Dru's acne made me feel like I was sprouting several pimples myself, and I kept looking at my forehead in the mirror, haha. I swear I felt pimple pressure! And the other thing was when Dru writes a phone number on a piece of scrap paper, the author repeats herself, saying it was "an anonymous scrap of blank paper" or something. It's fine, but I really didn't need to hear that twice in the span of 20 or less pages. We readers have good memories!

I can't wait to read the sequel!"

Xena: Warrior Princess Original Soundtrack









So many good songs, so many good memories. . . .
These songs make me emotional. Part of it is remembering the good times with my dad. Part of it is remembering the show's moments. And part of it is that it's just so good.

Assassin's Creed Lineage (Short Movie) Part I



This thing is amazing. Way to go, Ubisoft.

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep



  • Being able to play as three different characters looks like a wonderful addition.
  • New worlds & Characters!!!
I have a feeling this will be my favorite PSP game, easily. Coming out...sometime in the near future, hopefully.

JOHN RZEZNIK - I'm Still Here (from TREASURE PLANET)


The Goo-Goo Dolls tend to hit me in the heart. Where it hurts. They make me feel.


Bonus! Iris by Goo-Goo Dolls. The song from my Prom.
Phantasy Star Portable 2


This looks so good. The first Phantasy Star Portable was enjoyable, but I didn't make that purchase. This one, however, looks like it may be worth it!

'Culloden's Harvest' - Deanta


This song, with it's story about the fall of Culloden, is now one of my favorites. Beautifully done.


Blackmore's Night - Sister Gypsy


A beautiful tale of myth and legend. Sister Gypsy, a spirit who lurks in the shadows, may return to earth and bring to us a simpler way of life, if only people believe.

Shakira - Did It Again


I actually like a Shakira song! Wow! And surprise... I like a Lady Gaga song, too!

Lady Gaga - Paparazzi


She's so rad. Seriously. Strange, yes, but also awesome-sauce.

Michi - Something Missing lyrics



When I wake up I'm standing in a strange place
And I just don't know where I am
Shiranai kotoba, wakaranai signs
Kioku wo tadotte miru

Samayou empty city
Kaketeru heart, I need to fix this
Can't stand here waiting, gotta get it
I'm trying to find the reason for being alive

Sagashiteiru
Nani wo motometeiru
Nani ka wakaranai mama
Tada imi wo hoshigaru
I still don't know why I'm here
Ima dekiru koto just believe
I will keep on fighting till I find the way
To something that I'm missing

Tsuyogari de namida wa misetakunai
Don't wanna show my weaker side
So I build up a wall against everybody oh
Kore ijou kizutsuki takunai

Sunao ni narenai
Nari takunai
Can't let myself go
Namida yurushitara
Tomaranai kara
Must be strong

Sagashiteiru
Nani wo motometeiru
Nani ka wakaranai mama
Tada imi wo hoshigaru
I still don't know why I'm here
Ima dekiru koto just believe
I will keep on fighting till I find the way
This something I'm missing

Samishikute
Hitori kurushiku natte
Tsurai hi no hou ga ooku natte
So many things gisei ni shite demo
I have to go on…

Honey don't stop…
Baby don't stop…
Honey don't stop…
No, you don't stop…

Dare ni mo nai
Jibun dake no destiny
Kako to mukiau koto
Miete kita my tomorrow
Oh is this my destiny?
Mamoru mono no tame ni
Tatakai tsuzukeru
Till I find my way to something that I'm missing

PXP-2000


pxp-2000

for around $85, you can have your very own psp-go look-alike. no, it does not play psp games, but it plays virtually any media file, can take and view photos, and emulates nes, snes, gameboy, and genesis games. it comes with 2 gb internal memory and a rechargeable lithium battery. not a bad deal, huh?

Bayonetta



Bayonetta. Hot chick with glasses, kicking ass. I guess I can support that. It's just too bad the PS3's version seems to be inferior in terms of framerate and contrast. For more images of this, visit here.

Personal Buy Price: <$20


Bayonetta is being released January 31, 2010.

Play with your face.



PlayFace is a new website by Sony that showcases players' faces while they're gaming. In slow-motion. The point of this website? I'll get back to you.
It's amusing if you have absolutely nothing else to do.

Fact of the Day // October 16, 2009

Japanese girls can get married at 16.

Wow. I'm shocked. That's intense.
I should have realized, having read manga and watched anime that hinted at this, but wow.
"Get a nice A+ on your algebra test, honey! Oh, and have a nice wedding tomorrow!"

Darkstone - "The Darkstone Will Shine" by Audren

Figure Skating Legend Michelle Kwan



Michelle Kwan was someone I really admired growing up, and even now I look back and view her as an inspiration. I remember looking forward to watching figure skating any time I could catch it on T.V. The Winter Olympics were always a time where I would sit on the floor in front of the Television and stay up late to watch these athletes and their powerful, graceful movements.
Out of any skater I remember watching, Michelle Kwan will always be the one who comes to mind when I hear the words "figure skating". I bought books about her, and had a replica of the necklace she always wore. I treasured that necklace, and wore it often. It was something I took very good care of, and held at high value.
She never did win a gold medal, but she deserved it just as much as anyone who did.
I'd like to share her with you today.
