Hey! So, long time no see! I know I haven't been very faithful about posting lately, due to the holiday chaos and all. Anyway, so my New Year's party was pretty awesome, and amazing fireworks ensued :) What could be better? Nothing. Nothing at all.
So I've seen a couple of really good movies lately. I'm a big fan of thriller/horror movies so that's most of what I watch. I watched "I Am Legend" with Will Smith, about 7 times. It was an amazing vampire/zombie/virus movie and I found it to be extremely entertaining. Also, after watching it with three of my friends at 4 in the morning with a lap-ful of my home-made sushi, we realized that at the part of the movie where Will Smith's character {Robert Neville} sights the mannequin...the mannequins head moves. Me and my friends watched it 12 times on frame-by-frame and sure enough, the head moves on it's own. We all were a bunch of wusses about it too. Anyway, another movie I just finished was Red Eye, but you'll have to see that one for yourself...no spoilers here.
In other entertainment news, my friend Kaysey gave me a book for Christmas...which, usually I wouldn't have been terribly thrilled about...but Kaysey has good taste in books, so I gave it a shot. The book was called "Maximum Ride" by James Patterson. "Maximum Ride" is now my official favorite series of ALL TIME! It's an amazing science fiction novel about six children who have been grafted with 2% avian/bird DNA. I won't spoil too much but the main characters are Max Ride, Fang, Iggy (Who is blind), Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. Most of them had other things altered with them that are later revealed in the soon to be 5 book series; such as Angel's ability to breathe underwater, or Gazzy's [Angel's Brother] ability to mimic and throw voices. My favorite character is Iggy. He is blind throughout the series, and has a strange enjoyment out of building explosives. :) Anyhow, the book is about them escaping from an institute called "The School" which is a horrible place that does horrible science-y things to children and animals and their struggle for survival against the other scientific maladies, the Erasers. Which are half human, half canine. Before I ruin TOO much of the story, this series is so entertaining, and I can't wait to get my hands on the manga - which is released THIS MONTH - and see the movie which should be released in 2010 :))) <3>
