Beyond Redemption

So, I took a short hiatus to work on a new project. Some of you know about it, some don’t (but you will, eventually). It had been a passing thought ever since my kid brother, Danga, suggested it to me. Only this time, I actually made a thought a reality. And it wasn’t without headaches, I’ll tell ya that much. But things seem to be in order and we’re testing the waters. If it goes the way it should, you’ll get some kind of announcement soon enough.

As for the writing, well, because of those aforementioned “headaches”, I didn’t get anything done. The hope is that this weekend that status will change. I’m feeling a bit blocky, I admit, but I’m going to try to give y’all something. To be honest, I want to update Pas De Deux and Age of Innocence for Jessie, and it’s annoying me that both are being a pain in my arse. It’s really important to me that I get those completed as soon as I can. That means, I don’t know when The Neighbor will be updated. Could be over the weekend, could be 2 weeks from now. I don’t know, but I have to be honest and say that it’s not a priority. The two I mentioned are, so if I can write them first, I’m going to. Sorry if that disappoints those that really only seem to be interested in Neighbor. It’s just not high on my list of musts right now.

That said, I do want to thank all of the people that have popped in to review that story. It kinda makes me laugh. I see all these new faces that never review me any other time, but they’ll review that one, if only to make it get updated faster. *chuckles* Thanks for that…

Anyway, I’m working on another new skin (I have 2 others you guys haven’t seen yet. But whenever I do update The Neighbor, you’ll see one of them. I actually did that header myself. Yay for me.), and Neo once again proved that she can take any concept I toss at her and bring it to life. She’s seriously gifted. SERIOUSLY. Since this one is for a completed fiction, I won’t make y’all wait to see it. I’ll post it whenever I finish my next update.

That’s really about it for now. Just wanted to pop in and bring y’all up to speed. I’ll be trying to get some updates going this weekend, so pop in at the site every now and again, or join my mailinglist and you’ll get a notice.

And last, but not least, Kau strikes again! 😀

She got me more b-day goooodies! Aside from the Vampire Knight stuff, she got me a GANG of cajun yummies to make here at home, including red beans and rice (my fave), gumbo, and cobbler (got the box today). Plus cake, cappuccino, imported Japanese candy and other NOM NOMS. She da shyt!

Look at the Zero plushie -what a cutie!

Okay, I’m out! But first, a little VK fanart…

I watched two more movies on V-Day, so I had to come in here and dish on them. But also, here’s a bit of lulz that I just found out courtesy of kau. Twilight (you know, the vampire phenom that has creatures of the night walking the streets during the day while simultaneously sparkling?) has a manga! Have a peek! Twilight Manga Scans

To the creators: Bleach wants their identity back.

Now, onto the movies!

Sleepaway Camp (The original)

The acting in this movie is so awful that it’s painful. It was hard to sit through it. Really hard. However, both Danga and my ex said it was worth watch watching with the latter saying that the ending will make the pain worth it. He was right!

This is a typically bad slasher flick that takes place in a camp, but how it begins is you see a family out having some fun at the lake (a dad and his son and daughter). But there are some kids water-skiing, too, and the next thing you know, the brats are not watching where they’re going and they end up killing the father and one of the kids. Fast forward to today. It’s revealed that the daughter has survived and now lives with a cousin and his mother who is a twisted version of Mary Poppins and she’s about to send them to camp.

What follows is a fairly bad movie with a few interesting murders/maims and a surprise ending that I figured out about 10 minutes before it was revealed (still an okay watch, though). However, I have to hammer it home that this is some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen in my LIFE. Just really shitty stuff.

Out of a possible 5 Yashas, I give Sleepaway camp 2.5. The ending makes it worth the ache of actually watching it.

Triangle

Okay, so, this is one of the most nonsensical “horror” movies I’ve ever seen. The premise is that we see a guy with his first mate on a cute little boat called the Triangle and we watch as his friends arrive. They’re going boating today (awwww!) and 2 of his friends, a couple, even brings a girl for him. But he’s not interested in her. He invited a waitress (the chick from 30 Days of Night) that he likes who has a developmentally delayed son (son does not join them). We also see that boat guy’s friends aren’t too keen on her -they think she’s weird.

Fast forward. They’re sailing along and everyone’s having fun and it’s pretty established that the blind date isn’t happening, much to the chagrin of his married female friend, but no one complains. Next thing you know, all of the wind stops. Boat guy and first mate are like, “Eh?” because no wind means fucked sailing. Then, they see it. A huge storm is coming their way, and boy, does it! The ship is nearly taken out and the blind date girl is toast when the boat capsizes.

The survivors make it onto the hull where they wait in despair, but luck is on their side! A massive cruise ship sees them and they start hailing them, screaming for help. No one comes to the railing on the ship to see what’s up >.> or do they, but these people are stranded. They don’t give a fuck! They go ahead and board and that’s when we find out that the ship is deserted. That’s also when the fuckery begins.

How can I sum it up without giving away details for those that may want to see it? Erm… picture the movie Ground Hog Day, but even worse, with killings involved. By the time you reach the end, guess what happens? Yes, all over again! In fact, at one point, you’re given evidence that this scenario may have played out as many as fifty times.

Me? I wish it hadn’t happened even once. >.>

Out of a possible 5 Yashas, I give Triangle 1.5, and that’s only because first mate was kinda hot.

Coming soon…
