update stuff and TWISTERZ!

[meganbmoore]

Don't like the name, but I tried out a new(to me, at least) Cheez-its snack called Twisterz!  Specifically, the cheese and ranch variety.  A little odd, but really good.

School much go away...soon...

It also seems that saying it looked like I wasn't going to get to check out any new manga for a while inspired me to read a few.

Watched This Week:

After the Sunset: A fun little heist movie.  As expected, Salma Hayek does nothing but play Pierce Brosnan’s beard and give the viewer a really good look down her cleavage, but Pierce Brosnan, Woody Harrelson, and the secondary and far superior heroine, Naomie Harris more than make up for it.

Ah! My Goddess vol 1: Always and Forever

Escaflowne vol 4

Sin City:  Interesting movie.  And, aside from about 20 minutes that made me run away and cower at the computer muttering “must…escape…bouncing…boobies…” pretty good.  Pretty much 3 rather dark and twisted noir tales.  Timeline’s a bit hard to figure out, though.  The first scene takes place after the first storyline, and the last storyline takes place before the other two stories, final the final scene is very shortly after the action in the second story…

Twelve Kingdoms vol 3-5:  Ppppprrrreeeeeetttttyyyyy…so very, very pretty.  Pretty enough to forgive TWO recap episodes…still, Youko’s first story wraps up and we get a similar, parallel story about another ruler ascending their throne.  Looking at the second half of the series, it looks like that’s how the series/books are set up:  Youko adventure, parallel story about another ruler, throughout.  If there’s any love for me, these books will be published in English…

 

 

Read this week:

 

Ghost Hunt Vol 1:  Picked it up because it’s written by(and based on the books by) Fuyumi Ono, who wrote the Twelve Kingdoms books.  A fun little book.  Not nearly as complex or intricate as Twelve Kingdoms, but still good.

Inu Yasha Vol 23

Ouran High School Host Club Vol 2

Wallflower Volume 5: The problem with this book is that, after reading it, there’s no point in reading any other comedy for a while, because my reaction will be “is that it?  That’s all you’ve got?”

 

ABC A To Z Tom Strong And Jack B Quick

Captain America Vol 5 #10:  Oh look, just  like every other House of M hijac…err “tie-in” except for Cable/Deadpool, a whole issue devoted to completely interrupting the series w/ no way whatsoever to work in the regular goings on, and that will have no effect on the series afterwards…

Darkness #23: Uhm, Mr. Wohl, did we forget WHICH Magdalena we’re working with, here?

Gatesville Company #1: Interesting…

Marvel 1602 New World #3: Not quite sure why I’m getting this one.  It’s good, but the characters that made the first series interesting are…you know…not here…

New Thunderbolts #13: Blizzard’s gone?  ::sulks:: And…uhm…yeah, so, there are TWO people who I can think that could be on the last page…

New X-Men #16-18:  Gaah…I willingly picked up a House of M book…Mattson’s been pestering me to check this out for a while, and finally won with the “Jubilee” trump card.  Pretty good.  I’ll  check out some of the regular stuff as a better test.

Robert Jordans New Spring #2:  I’m so glad I had James available to clear up a lot of the context in this one…

Silent Dragon #3: Begone, little blonde bundle of annoyance, so I can get back to enjoying this as much as I did the first two issues.
