More Pictures

Here's my Earthian Manga. It's my least favorite of my mangas, but the only one I took a picture of.
Here's a picture of one part of my room. I like that my walls are covered. It makes it interesting. My friends come in, and they can't stop looking at everything.
A collage I made with some free Wal-Mart photo software. They have niftier layouts as well.







Here's a collage (made with Picasa) of me and my Roomie.

A Dream

The other night I had a fairly disturbing dream. During the dream I was half-awake, but didn't immediately realize I was dreaming.

I was laying in bed when I heard a noise. I got up to look and saw a dark figure in the doorway. I dropped to the floor, but it was too late. He had seen me. He had a rough voice, but spoke to me like I was child. "It's too late, sweetheart. I know you're there." I could see he was wearing a cowboy hat. I rolled under the bed, but he knew where I was. He sauntered over to the bed. I could see his feet inches from my face. He bent down and jabbed my arm with a needle. Immediately I knew what he had done. I started to feel sleepy. He lifted the bed with one hand, and helped me drag myself out from under the bed with the other. This is where I realized I was dreaming...

Sliders

I just got Sliders Season 3 last night (I have 1&2 as well). I'm watching the episode Dream Masters right now. Quinn, Wade, Remmy, and the Professor land on an earth where a group of losers now possess the power to enter peoples dreams and, essentially, scare people to death, literally. Poor Wade spurned a Dream Masters advances and ended up as his new target. Now the others have to enter her dream and fight off the Dream Masters.

I like Sliders a lot. I don't know if I LOVE it, but I like it a lot. I guess I love it if I bought 3 seasons. They were cheap. $20 for seasons 1&2 together, and $20 for season 3. Weird, but it's the same number of discs, so... it works out.

I love getting shows on DVD. I have seasons 5-9 of X-files (working on 1-4), season 2 of F*R*I*E*N*D*S, Jeff Foxworthy season 1, seasons 1&2 of LOST, V the Complete Series, 4400 seasons 1-3, Doctor Who seasons 1&2, and of course the afore mentioned Sliders.

Harry Potter

Well, everyone else is writing about Harry, so I guess I will too. I'm not very good at reviewing things b/c, on the whole, I'm pretty easily satisfied. But, here goes...

Spoiler alert!!!


->I thought Harry and Voldemort were both going to die, I had prepared myself for it, and would have accepted it had it happened. So, when Harry lived I was pleasantly surprised. I do love a happy ending, so it was nice to see him and his friends all grown up with their own kids going to Hogwarts, but at the same time, a part of me was wanting a different, more unusual ending. I do enjoy those types of endings as well.
->I also enjoyed Neville finally showing us all why he was placed in Gryffindor. It was his crowning achievement, slicing of Nagini's head.
->I always knew Snape was on our side. That doesn't mean I liked him, really, but I noticed he was always there to protect Harry and his friends. I do agree though with the general opinion I've seen, so let me repeat... "Poor Albus Severus Potter!"
->Part of me really thought Dumbledore was still alive(especially after Harry saw that blue eye in the mirror), but I enjoyed learning about his backstory and meeting his brother, Aberforth. After all of that, I felt ok about him really being dead. Especially since Harry got to talk to him on the train.

After I finished reading, I felt that letdown I always feel afterI finish a really good book. You know, you can't wait to finish it, but once you do, you wish it wasn't over; that you could keep reading...

As much as I think it would be cool to read about the "new generation," we live in the Age of Sequels, and I am so sick of all of them. If it was already a series of books- that's different, but a movie is a success so they make another one, and another one, and another one, until finally the world wants to barf... Just say no to unneccessary sequels.

P.S. I'm watching Laverne and Shirley on DVD... love that show!

Oh, yes...

I must also say that I've been watching some anime shows on tv lately. I don't know a whole lot about any of them-- I haven't seen many episodes of any, but...

I really enjoy Noein (Which I believe is coming to Shojo Beat as Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time), I also like Tokko. Those are the ones I've seen the most of, curtesy of SCI-FI's ani-monday!
I have seen only one episode of Full Metal Alchemist and Inuyasha, but I also enjoyed them.
At some point I want to see Rozen Maiden on DVD, and it would be cool if I could buy Noein on DVD.

My new love

My new love is Anime/Manga. I'm relatively new to the genres, but I'm not completely ignorant. I have a subscription to Shojo Beat, which teaches me about Lolita, j-pop, etc... I love Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli films, I own Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, and Nausicaa. I have also seen Spirited Away (love it, favorite!) and Kiki's Delivery Service. I own 7 volumes of Manga- Bizenghast V. 1&2, DramaCon V.1, Chobits V.1, Rozen Maiden V.1, Yurara V. 1, and Earthian V.1.
I must go now, gotta let the dog out... but I'll be back. (dun, dun, DUN!)
