Chomp

So, everyone is familiar with the term "bitten off more than possibly chewable"? Good. Cause, this year, this semester, I did that. I can only admit it her, cause I can never admit this sin, especially to parents. I signed up for six classes, and then got homework day one, and then procrastinated. Love me. Hate going back to school. So, I am behind. Usual. And I am stressing. Also usual. I have barely read anything (manga beside), barely watched anything (only a few episodes of Buffy!), and have been doing homework and attending classes. And working one day. Simple stuff.

That all has to change! Because... *drumroll*! Supernatural Season 3!! It comes out on Tuesday! I need to do all my homework in advance so that I can sit and watch it all day and night! It is a must! I also have a quiz on Wednesday.

So, writing is still stalled. Sorry everyone, but Supernatural takes precendence. It just does. No ifs, ands, or buts.

And that is my sad, pathetic update.

Tchao! :)

Death

So my computer went through some issues... and I finally got it back. I am now behind on all internet homework and I need to go buy a microphone. Won't be writing much for a while.

Sad Update

So, not gotten much done on Ultimatum. What else is new? Hopefully, should have time in a few days. I'm actually busy packing and cleaning my room to move back into a dorm. Unfortunately, now that I took a break and chilled on my laptop, the urge to clean is strangely gone. Go figure. Finished both Supernatural seasons 1 and 2. I can't wait until 3 comes out! I've only seen like one or two episodes of that season, since I had a club meeting every Thursday night at that time. I think, for the season's first couple of episodes, I will be missing this club again. There is no way I'm going to miss the season opener after that ending of 3! I sadly spoiled the ending of 3 for myself by accident, by watching youtube. I was not a happy camper at that point. Oh well. I plan to go to comic con in San Diego next year. Come hell or high water, I am going! I want to meet Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, damnit!!

So, that is all I have to report. I bear good tidings on the book Hotter Than Hell, the anthology edited by Kim Harrison. Not done with it yet, but so far so good. I even like the ones by the authors I don't normally like. Due entirely to the fact that they are short, short stories! Tadah! The point is reached rather quickly, and everything is resolved. I kind of like this, since I'm in the middle of reading like 5 books that don't have too much momentum right now. So, cheers!

I watched the movie Rouge the other day with my Mom. It's about a giant croc that attacks people that went into it's range of hunting. Not too bad of a horror movie. A few parts were just gore, and I'm kind of iffy on the ending, but not bad. Especially since my Mom and I weren't exactly expecting much. Most movies like that, including almost every shark movie ever made, suck. Miserably. So, to commemorate this, I watched it again with my sister and her friend. Since we were all tired and lazy, after the end, we all just kind of sat there and let the credits roll. I recommend this for that movie. Do it. Cause a happy beat will suddenly kick in, and a cheery tune will pop up. Like this one.

I happen to like the voice better on the movie. But this was an... interesting... video I found on youtube. Humor!

Outline Ho!

Good news - finally went to the no-idea-what-so-ever method and wrote out an outline using highlighters and little heads of Hiei and Kagome. Arrows and color abound, and more importantly, I got somewhere. I know where the scene is going (finally!), and I know where the chapter is going. I was going to write earlier, but got caught up in Supernatural and Youtube, and then wasn't going to due to depression for a variety of reasons, and then after writing this I just might again. Boy is my mood fluctuating. :( Definately need some chocolate right now. I'm going to go do a miniwork out for all that chocolate already eaten and hopefully come back and write. Writing out my angst between Hiei and Kagome might just be therapeutic. We'll see. I feel in a piratey mood, by the way. Also in an artistic mood. I am failing at life right now, though, so my drawings suck ass, like usual. Not a very good day for me. Anyways.

Tchao.

Great Lines of Time

So, I wrote this amazingly fantastic line, all prepared to run with it and further the plot. And then I stopped writing. ... And forgot where I was supposed to be going... For the life of me I can't remember what I wanted to say... T_T And now I am stuck. Huge writer's block. I'm gonna have to find something that will trigger that memory, dangit!

*sigh*

Wanderlust Review

Ok, so I finally wrote the review that was part of the contest. Hopefully, it does the book justice. If this concerns you, the bullet points are kind of spoilers, so don't read them! SPOILER ALERT! There, you are all forewarned. Blue parts are safe - skip to the end to read the not-really-an-update update, if you so choose.

Without further ado, here is the long awaited review of Ann Aguirre’s awesome second book of the Sirantha Jax series Wanderlust!

An excellent follow up to an awesome first book, Wanderlust keeps the tension flowing and the reader rooting for the heroine! The ending leaves you wishing for the next in the series, and the shocks and twists in the book leave the world surprisingly realistic. An addition of new characters rounds out the cast, and I can only hope that they are there to stay! I am already eagerly awaiting the next book, and can only hope that some of the issues broached here are resolved. You rock, Jax! Great job Ann Aguirre! Keep up the good work!

Points I liked:

· I liked Jax being sick. She now has a fallible air that lends reality to the book and the character. It makes sense that healing her mind was taxing her body in some way or another. I hope she gets better, and can continue to jump. Like her, I can only see her dying jacked in, or at least by March’s side in battle. Interesting twist about not being jacked in, by the way. Can’t wait to see where that one goes.
· I like the new characters added to the cast. I especially like Vel, because Vel is loveable and honorable and stands by Jax throughout it all. I also like Jael. I saw him as most likely betraying everyone in the end, and he still might, but I like him. I also love Constance. You rock Constance! Excellent body choice!
· I like the whole twist with Jax’s mother. Didn’t see that one coming at all!
· Still like the implanted paranoia in Jax’s head. Like it even better when it’s right.

Points needing to be mentioned:

· I like March when he isn’t battling his own demons, so I’m rooting for him to get better with Jax’s help.
· I feel bad for Dina, but hopefully now she has a new companion for life. That would just be cool.
· Lachion needs to butcher those damn monsters; and Keri needs to get it on with Lex already. And those damn bugs that seem so similar to the Aliens show - ick! Ick! Ick! Ick! Kill them all!
· Jax, an ambassador! O.o Didn’t see that one coming. I hope she succeeds. She needs something positive behind her so she can stop thinking about how she used to be an ass.

Thank you Mrs. Aguirre for the chance to read your book early! I had a blast reading it, and the book already has a place of prominence on my shelf! I can’t wait to hear more about the next in the series! I will faithfully follow you and Jax till the end! And, to help boost your ratings, I’m still going to go out and buy the official book! Cheers!

Ok, so, now that that is out of the way. I haven't written anything more on Ultimatum. Shame on me, I know. I've been busy watching Supernatural and scrapbooking. And reading. Always reading. I also finally finished my first crocheted blanket, which is going to be given away to the first donation center that comes a-knocking. Now, I will be busy at work for at least a year on my sister's blanket. Good luck on getting that one in time for Christmas... or ever her birthday in June... So, hopefully I'll get some writting done tonight or tomorrow. I feel the bug starting to creep back in. Pray for the bug!

Tchao!
