My book reviews that is. I finally got my butt in gear and published my three waiting book reviews. Anyone wants to see them, they are linked below. Please feel free to tell me what you think of my style and content. I plan to write more reviews as I read more books, so con crit is really useful to me.

Without further adieu:
Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward
Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward
Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward

Yes, I know they are all from the same author, they are also all from the same series. They are just what I have read in the last 3 weeks or so. Enjoy.

Harry Potter Movie Review

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:07:25 GMT

Saw an early showing of the new Harry Potter movie. This one was really good. The movie followed the book fairly well with the obvious cuts to make it all fit within a 2.5 hour film. It's got tension (both sexual and dramatic), action, death, and magic. I recommend that any who are fans of the series should see it.

NOTE: If you have ever wanted to see a jumping point for a Draco/Severus relationship, this is the movie to see. There is a scene in the middle of the movie where Draco is brought into a private party that he wasn't invited to and Snape says he will take care of him. The actions of the actors and the way the lines come across is SO slashable.

Speaking of relationships, several relationships blossom in this latest addition to the HP movie series. From the start it is so obvious who several of the characters should be with but they are desperately oblivious to the obvious. If I had been there, I would have been tempted to start throwing things at some of the characters.

Anyway, you should see it. The movie is entertaining and I can't wait to see the end of the series in motion picture format.

Please continue

I don't know what has gotten into me, but in the last 2 days, I have written over 3500 words in a new original story. I have no clue where this story will take me or if I will every finish/post it, but I hope I can continue at this pace.

Your result for The 4-Variable IQ Test...

Verbal

25% interpersonal, 5% visual, 40% verbal and 30% mathematical!

Your strongest type of intelligence is Verbal. You thrive on words, word games, and languages in general. I'm feeling insecure as I write this, because you are reading it. You see, language demands a certain level of recursive thought, and, as someone who just scored highly on it, I'm guessing you already noted the intentional dangling modifier I just put in this sentence. Didn't you? Smarty pants. 4-eyes.

Your specific scores follow. On any axis, a score above 25% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 25% means you use it less. It says nothing about cognitive skills, just your interest.

Your brain is roughly:

25% Interpersonal

5%Visual

40%Verbal

30%Mathematical

Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice to the world.

1. Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 20%.

2. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 25%.

3. Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 50%.

Internet!!!!

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 06:12:01 GMT

Oh how I've missed you. I finally got internet today. I was supposed to have it last week, but we got 3 inches of snow and all of southern California had a freak out party. Seriously, I have lived in places where that wouldn't have closed schools and yet here it closed all the roads to all but emergency personnel. Go figure.

Anyway, I have most of my stuff here. Still waiting on the stuff to get here that never even went to England, but should have that by the second week of January. <small>Funny how that which has the least distance to travel takes the longest to get here.</small>

Now I am to look for a job. UGH! Four years of being essentially unemployed really makes getting a job a not so fun sport, but I will make the best of it. Wish me luck. <small>I'm gonna need it.</small>

In His Place

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:09:41 GMT

is now complete and available on AFF for your viewing pleasure. In His Place: Release My wrists are so tired from typing, I think I will watch some videos for a while. Enjoy the story and please review me. Thank you!

EDIT: AFF blows chunks. That being said the SNAFU from last night has been fixed and the full chapter should be there. I plan to re-post most of my fics on mediaminer and maybe retool a few for FF.net audiences. So if this happens again, there will be other places to catch the full act. Hell maybe I will post them on DA too - get a different set of people reading this stuff. :) Enjoy and sorry for the trouble.

"In His Place" Update

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:52:03 GMT

The Third chapter is up on In His Place.

Sorry to all about how long this took to write. I was happy with where the first two chapters were and knew where the last chapter was going, but couldn't seem to get this chapter to get me to the last one for the longest time. The next chapter should be up faster, I hope.

Harry Potter Lawsuit

I recently learned about the Harry Potter lawsuit and wanted to share my opinion on it. Check out my recently published content on AC:

The Harry Potter Lexicon: Who Has the Rights?

Well I am back!

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:25:32 GMT

I just spent the last week traveling. I went to Paris, France first and then Lisbon, Portugal. Three days each. Let me tell you, I am soooo tired I can't even see straight.

We took a planned tour group Paris trip - 6-7 hours on a bus with a screaming ~~monster~~ baby on the way there. Made up for that by drinking almost an entire bottle of wine. :) YAY! I think the pictures I took that night on the bus tour of the city kinda showed that the wine was affecting my ability to hold still. Many of the pix are a blurry mess of light. Oh well. The second day Eric and I walked the city with another couple. We saw Notre Dame, the outside of the Louvre, and a Footlocker before we parted ways. Eric and I went to the Eiffel Tower next and spent an hour and a half in line to be able to walk up the 669 steps to the second level. The top level was closed due to wind and rain. Oh yeah, did I mention it was raining the whole time we were there. Anyway, the third day we left early on the bus to return to cold and dreary England. It started to snow on the way back - First real snow I have seen in years - and the bus's windshield wipers stopped working while we were in Paris.

A day after we returned, we left again for Portugal - by plane. Much better. The weather was nice (58-67 degrees and sunny). We saw everything that we wanted to see and then some. ~~I haven't walked that many hills since I left North Bergen, NJ.~~ The hotel was really nice and just about everyone there spoke at least a little English. I was so nice not having to rely on my not-so-trusty guidebook to tell me how to communicate with people. Being as pale as I am, the natives assumed that I spoke English and just spoke English to me.

Anyway, I am home now, tired and cold, but I slept in my own bed last night and ate my own food. I will be able to game tomorrow. Everything is right with the world again. :D

Is posted here. Enjoy it.

I plan to work on my original a bit next. I also have some translating to do, or the people I am working for might get a bit upset with ~~strangle~~ me. 156 pages written in German is a lot of work, I will get to it eventually.
