Pimping the Blog!
Jul 26th
Hah, it’s been forever since I’ve updated the blog again. I seem to do a lot of nothing, then a lot of something!
Today I went through the 155 spam (x_X) and picked out four semi-funny ones, and added them the funny spam list. Apparently, a spam bot’s son went to see Bieber. :-D Oh, and he was arrested.
Guess the post in my previous post is real?! Heh.
Also, brand new theme. Isn’t it amazing? :D
Oh, and I want to thank you spam bots. Because of you, I remembered this post… the story has been updated!!!! :D:D:D!!!
Oh dear

If you follow me on twitter, you’ve already seen this but…
Oh dear. Oh dear dear.
September 23rd, Justin Bieber hits the TV screens… in CSI as a troubled teen. Oh dear dear dear…
Covers of books!
Jul 25th
Old news, but good ole Cassie Clare has finally given a date for the release of the cover for City of Fallen Angels. December 2010.
The covers are some of the best part of this series… gorgeous pieces of art. I can’t wait to have Clockwork Angel on my bookshelf. ♥
You can see a cool “preview” cover here :-)
And then there is the UK/Australian cover for The Lost Hero. A really… ugly picture, in my opinion. Haha. You can see it here. The US cover is much better looking.
Quickview on Darren Shan
Jul 20th
So, today I finished Darren Shan’s epic, Cirque du Freak. The first eleven books were riveting, the typical type of book that you just can’t put down. I love them without a doubt, they paint a perfect picture of our protagonist who really does go through a lot more hell than he deserves.
What I don’t like is how the series ends. Not at all. I felt – and after reading some other reviews – feel extremely cheated by how he just wiped everything out, so that it doesn’t matter at all.
I won’t go into too much detail in case people haven’t read them yet… but if you do, I would almost suggest stopping after you read Part 1 of book 12. It ends on a sad note, but it’s much better than what you get if you continue to read.
Why? Because it doesn’t make sense. Darren Shan’s entire view of fate/destiny (Des Tiny hehe) gets completely and utterly warped and it loses it’s entire connection… I can’t believe it happens, to be honest.
Darke Cover!

OMG OMG OMG. New cover for Septimus Heap is out. :) And I’m pretty sure this is official.
Isn’t it amazing looking? From the Septimus Heap Blog.
So I updated
Jul 13th
I’m only like, what, a month late? But yeah, I finally updated to WordPress 3.0. I wonder how many of my extensions are broken now? :(
Anyways, I don’t really have much to talk about here. I could say how much I hate my new prof, or how my new job sucks, or anything… but that requires too much *work*.
So ttyl <3
Re: bad script

I know, I know, post spam today, but whatever. I’m actually feeling like going through my 3420438 tabs and actually talking about some that I’ve kept up. :P
Apparently some kids sent Craig (the screenwriter for the PJO movie) a bunch of nasty letters about HOW BAD THE MOVIE WAS… and he replied. With a nine page letter.

Dawn Treader
Jun 17th
Is it Christmas yet, mommy?
This year I don’t want lots of presents. I just want to see the new Narnia movie! Set to come this Christmas, Voyage of the Dawn Treader is by far one of the best Narnia books. (Second only to The Horse and His Boy, my personal favorite of all) It’s not an actiony one like Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe or Prince Caspian. There really isn’t a lot of fighting, it’s more of a character exploration – like any good book is.
The main character that gets worked on, though, is barely even shown in the trailer! Eustace. You hate him at the beginning, and absolutely LOVE him by the end. [SPOILERALERT]Especially the dragon scene.[/SPOILER]
You can see the trailer here. Maybe this should be my next countdown…
Congrats Devon!

Not only did he get his first single up on iTunes, but he also made a video for it. :)
I know that not many people care, but I’m happy for him. It’s hard to get out in the music industry, and he actually has a *decent* voice.
Buy the song on iTunes :) Support him!
And, don’t you guys think the visuals are absolutely amazing? I love the photography. Mikul did a pretty awesome job.
