Bieber Book
Aug 10th
…that’s a funny idea.
Too bad it’s gonna be real. ~_~
Set to be released in October, the book which is described as kind of a behind-the-scenes of the tour and how he got there. So like a memoir… but not really? I dunno.
You can see the book cover to the left there. I wonder if it’ll hit the Best Seller lists…
Oh, Cassie Clare…
Aug 7th
So. Before I go into this, a few things:
1) When I first picked up City of Bones, it was an impulse buy. City of Ashes and City of Glass were both bought within about 48 hours, and finished in just as many. I was kinda, into it.
2) My littlest sister NEVER reads. Like, she’s one of those that read the Junipie Jones or whatever her name is books, and then stopped. I got her to read Twilight – yeah, I know, my bad – and then I got her into City of Bones. She read all 3 books within a month. (Big thing for her)
3) My best friend Priscilla picked up City of Bones kinda on the side. I wasn’t around at the time – when I got back, I was basically attacked for City of Glass because it was in my car.
So, yes, it’s a good series. That doesn’t mean you needed to add three more. T_T It’s horrible waiting for series to finish. I picked it up because it was DONE. >_> And now I have to wait three more years.
So grr at you Cassie. :P
For those that don’t know, we now have City of Fallen Angels, City of Lost Souls, and City of Heavenly Fire to look forward to. The titles are intriguing, that’s for sure. I’m interested to see what type of direction the series takes, as we now have proof that Angels really exist. Hmm.
For those that are interested, here‘s the information for the books, as well as little preview fake covers.
So grrr for making me wait until 2013 to see the end of the series. D: (But maybe by then Eragon will have finished…!)
And for those into the series, here’s a few fun little links

Second Narnia trailer
Aug 7th
Has anyone else noticed how impossible it is to keep up with new trailers and stuff? There doesn’t really seem to be a central source that you can go to if you want to just see new trailers as they come out… ugh.
I mean, for Harry Potter, I just follow MuggleNet on Twitter. But I don’t really know of a good Narnia twitter to follow or anything…?
Anyways, here’s the newest Voyage of the Dawn Treader trailer. Is it Christmas yet? ♥
(Review) Th1rteen R3asons Why
Aug 5th
So, if you read my Twitter, you might have seen this tweet over the weekend.
Th1rteen R3asons Why is the most depressing book I’ve read in awhile…
Which is, by the way, entirely true.
Th1rteen R3asons Why starts off with the main character – Clay – getting a box in the mail. That box is full of cassette tapes. Curious, he goes out to the garage, and using an old player, starts listening to them.
The voice he hears isn’t some singer, no news clips, or anything. Instead, he hears a dead girl’s voice.
Earlier, Hannah killed herself. And these tapes, which are to be sent to people – each person has their own side of the tape, and they’re then to mail them on – who had a role in why she killed herself.
The book follows Clay as he painfully listens to the tapes. He doesn’t think he belongs there – he liked her. He tried to help her. So why, why on earth, was he part of the reason she killed herself?
The narrative quickly (and sometimes confusingly) flips back and forth between Hannah’s tapes – all in italics – and Clay’s own thoughts. It’s a mixed up mess, which describes Clay’s mind just as well.
This is apparently Asher’s first novel, and I’m hoping we get more by him. It’s a compelling read – I couldn’t put it down – and a quick one too. We’re given thirteen stories, all of them leading to the end that we know happens. You want to say “Clay! Save her!” so many times, especially during his story, but sadly, we can’t.
Pick it up on Amazon, and read it ASAP. Really good book.
(Review) Transamerica
Aug 4th
So, today I decided to watch Transamerica. It’s an interesting little flick staring Felicity Huffman and Kevin Zegers.
So basically, Bree (Huffman) is a male to female transsexual, and she is a week away from going under the knife and having her gender change surgery. But, as the gods will, she gets a phone call -- her son is in jail. At first she balks, saying that she doesn’t have one, but eventually comes to accept that yeah, it’s possible. After a talk with her therapist, who refuses to give the OK to the doctor until after Bree has met with the boy, Bree heads across the country to New York City, where she bails Toby (Zegers) out of jail. For a buck. Big bail, boy.
Now, Toby has some problems. He’s into drugs (no, wait, he was “holding” them for a friend) and has a bit of a smoking problem. And his mom is dead -- committed suicide. But Bree, pretending to be a churchgoer from the Church of the Potential Father (haha) decides to help Toby out. She’s going to take him with her back to LA, where he can start a new life.
During the way, they go to his hometown, where we get to meet his step-father (played by Raynor Scheine) where we get a gander at WHY Toby is so fucked up. Turns out, his step dad abused him, and that’s why Toby ran away.
Over the course of the movie, we get to see the unlikely duo face a carjacking, paid sex in the restaurant, and Bree flirting with a Native American. And all through this, Toby has no idea that he’s riding across the country with his biological dad.
The movie is an excellent look at a building relationship between the two, and how little things like transsexuality don’t always matter. When Toby finds out, yeah, he’s a jerk, but he eventually gets over it. There is a scene towards the end that is just O_O because we know stuff that he doesn’t, and it just makes it almost a squicky moment.
For the pervs out there, there is plenty of nudity. One of our first scenes has Toby laying in a bed with his a pair of underwear on, and nothing else. Not to mention that the boy is a manwhore, and is apparently good at blowjobs. Hmm.
I went into the movie pretty leery, and I REALLY enjoyed it. Not for the faint of heart, but if you go into it with an open mind, you’ll come out quick pleased.
4 out of 5 stars, and you can pick it up on Amazon here. :)
Da list… updated!
Aug 4th
So it’s only been like, a season since I last updated the list. But nonetheless, it has been done! I added a bunch of new stories, so enjoy them. :)
You can find the list here.
Love Me got a video?!
Aug 4th
Awhile back, I can’t even remember when, but Justin hinted that Love Me would be getting a video. For being one of the best received songs of the CD, I was surprised that it hadn’t.
Well, we finally got it. It isn’t a full video like one might expect coming from the likes of Justin Bieber, but instead, it’s more like a homemade little thing. Incredibly cute, though, I might add. Lots of little candid shots of him… kinda works as a “Behind the Scenes of Music” deal. And the “Love me, love me, say that you love me…” is definitely pointed towards his adoring fans, who continue to make him trend. (Most recent has been Bustin Drew Jieber to my knowledge)
Anyways, here’s the video. It made me smile, if nothing else. Still one of his best songs, in my opinion. Now if only we’d get a video for Up…
Another stellar single
Aug 4th
So, Devon, congrats on releasing Sparks Will Fly. It’s an absolutely stellar song. :) I bought it the day it came out (and have since deleted the recording I made from your ReverbNation account. ♥)
He’s done a couple live performances, so I thought I’d link my fans to them:
If you’re interested, both of them came with an interview. And interestingly enough, I actually learned stuff from both interviews, which I then used on the Wikipedia page that I’ve basically taken over. :p
On the ClevverTV one, he talks about the third single -- late this summer -- which will be called One More Day. It features Daniel Curtis Lee rapping. *sigh* I hope we get a rap-free version… oh well.
And the KDTV one has him talking about the future. He doesn’t talk much about One More Day, but he does talk about how the eventual plans are going to be for an EP, which will then evolve into an album. And he has 45 (!) songs already done. Wow…..
He’s really shooting off. Here’s to hoping that we can get the full EP sometime this year. :) And wouldn’t it be cool if we actually got to hear all 45 of the songs someday?! I mean, we already have 16 of them (according to my CD of Devon Werkheiser recorded recorded songs :3) and there are a couple others that have appeared on YouTube and such… it’s all good, ya know?
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!!!
