So, my twenty fourth has come and gone - the day itself wasn't especially remarkable, but it was stretched out over a period of three days and so it made up for itself - and I have books on the way. Three, in particular: Black Heart by Holly Black; Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente and Runelight by Joanne Harris. In the case of the first and the ( Read more... )

Okay, attempt to post this the second - except, of course, that apparently LJ doesn't want me to post this video behind a cut. I apologize, I honestly tried.

I'm finally making some headway on my Mass Effect 3 play through - I'll probably replay it again later, given all the DLC my brother has decided to get for it, including some little comic ( Read more... )

So, having heard about Assassin's Creed III: Liberation's new heroine, a female French-African assassin, I was ridiculously excited and ready to basically dig out my wallet and toss vast quantities of money in Ubisoft's general direction only to realize that the game is for the PlayStation Vita.

I am so annoyed.

Don't get me wrong, though; I love ( Read more... )

So, saw TDKR today and, man, all of my Bane feels. ALL of them. In spite of his hilarious voice mod. I get that there were issues with him being understood but really. He's wearing a mask, some issues are to be expected. Must we make him sound like some kind of caricature?

There honestly no words to describe this fic series, okay. It is hilarious and beautiful and will make you consider things that you otherwise would not consider.

Also, ( Read more... )

TDKR is coming to cinemas on the 27th. Then there's Brave - and another movie who's name escapes me right now but I was also ridiculously excited about - as well as the Bourne Legacy, which I shall see in spite of the fact that I've not actually seen any of the other movies for one reason and one reason only -- Jeremy Goddamn Renner!

Otherwise, I ( Read more... )

I've managed to get my grubby paws on season one of Avatar: The Legend of Korra. I'm already on episode four, am enjoying it immensely, and want to be just like Lin Bei Fong when I grow up!

Have also just finished reading Pasquale's Nose by Michael Rips. I found it in amongst my sister's stuff - she lives in the UK and left us with piles of boxes ( Read more... )

Bitterblue, the third book in Kristin Cashore's Graceling trilogy has finally found it's way onto shelves over here. I've yet to finish Fire - I think I began it during a difficult time, lost interest, and things just followed on from there - but mom has, and she loved the first two books so much that she told me to get it anyway. So, new book!

I'm giving some serious thought to doing the Camp NaNo thing this coming month. It's all about building up self-discipline - something that I have been sorely lacking - and getting into habits ( Read more... )
