Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: Enslaved 3

It was raining as I walked to Sajoki's tent. Tamui was sleeping and so it was a good time for me to visit her. The thought of her form had been on my mind a great deal these past few days. Keeping true to my orders, I kept close to Sajoki and she had kept close to me.


I went over to her tent, though she did share it with other people at times, and opened the flap slowly. "Sajoki?" I asked and could only see one form in the tent.


It moved towards me and said, "Yes, Rig."


"Sajoki," I said. "Do you love Tamui?"


"He's not my type of man, but he can support me. It all evens out in the end."


Now my courting of Sajoki would be getting harder, but I had to try even if the end result would be me hiding my tears in the rain. "I've been thinking, would you want to try and mate with me? I'm under Tamui's orders so our love would have to be secret or else I could die."


Sajoki smiled. It seemed sweet and full. I loved her face and could tell she was deciding. At the moment I didn't care if she accepted for personal reasons or that she really wanted me. I waited for her answer and hoped that it would be the one I wanted.


"Yes." Sajoki replied and I felt a great joy over take me. We rushed at each other and started kissing. Within a few minutes we were mating. It was a wonderful feeling and would've lasted longer if not for my excellent hearing.


"Someone's coming." I told her and we quickly got dressed. This was easy due to the fact that humans kept clothing to a minimum.


I stood up in the center of the tent and Sajoki pretended to be sleeping. Tamui opened the flap and looked at me. "What are you doing in here?" He asked me.


"I was checking on Sajoki. It's raining and I wanted to make sure she was sleeping well." I replied. "She's a woman and so she's a fragile creature."


Tamui just stared hard at me and then sighed. "Well, at least you're taking your duty with her seriously. At least more seriously than any other duty before this one."


I went out of the tent and left Sajoki to deal with Tamui. We hadn't been going at it long so she should still be able to perform to his standards.


Walking around for hours got to me so I went to the tent that Tamui usually went to and waited. Finally it was dinner time and Tamui made me get something to eat. He allowed me to hunt so I caught some rabbits.

I watched them eat the cooked rabbits. Tamui and Sajoki stayed close together. I was sure she would keep my secret because I was something more than human. Hopefully Tamui would be dead before he figured it all out.

Zombieland (2009)

I am not a zombie fan. I do not have a whole book dedicated to what I will do after the zombie apocalypse. However, I do enjoy comedy from time to time.

Title: Zombieland

Director: Ruben Fleischer

Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Woody Harrelson

Rated: R

Released: 2009

Rating: 4.5/5

Basic Plot: A group of zombie survivors...well, try to survive even longer after the zombie apocalypse.

Zombie Kill of the Week
Now these parts seem totally out of place in the movie. They are funny but, really, I had to wonder how they fit in. Then I read that Zombieland was originally supposed to be a pilot episode to a tv series. So each week they would have a Zombie Kill of the Week. This makes a lot of sense in a tv series but I think it should've been removed for the movie version.

Fear of Clowns
Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is afraid of clowns. Now the character is very OCD and it is actually funny that that type actually managed to survive the zombie apocalypse. However, I fully relate to him about fearing clowns. I am afraid of makeup so clowns scare me and gross me out all at once. I felt like cheering him on when he finally overcame his fears.

Twinkies
This was a funny and out of place part at once because Tallahase is the one to want twinkies when he is the big, tough guy in the movie. It's nice that, at the end, he is finally able to have a Twinkie.

The Rules
Columbus's rules are funny and work all at the same time. Well, the 'Don't Be a Hero' changes at the end. The way they are introduced are creative. And they aren't just displayed only the first time they are followed, but every time.

Bill Murry
His cameo is funny. If you didn't know he cameoed in this, it's been two years. I thought his cameo was funny but was slightly annoyed how the characters were ass kissing him. Not saying Murry is a bad actor, just I think the ass kissing was the whole point of the scene.

Final Thoughts
This is a delightful zombie romp with some great comedy thrown in. I found this to be very fun. However, it is a bloody film so if you don't like gore: why are you wanting to watch a zombie film? The quote that Eisenberg makes about Facebook is very funny due to the fact he played the main role in The Social Network (2010) which is about the creation of Facebook. So if you like zombies and comedy, there is a good chance that you will like this film.

The Sorority: Eve (Tamara Thorne)

I want to get this out of the way: I like b-movies.

Series: The Sorority

Title: Eve

Author: Tamara Thorne

Released: 2003

Rating: 3/5

Basic Plot: Eve joins a Sorority that is evil.

An Evil Sorority
While I might not have been in a sorority or had that much interest in one, I highly doubt that they were evil. But that was the whole reason I picked up the book. I saw that it involved a sorority with a Satanic cult and thought that sounded so stupid that I had to read the book. Did the evil sorority work in the universe of the book? Nope, it was still stupid.

Eve
The main character, Eve, is a cheerleader, wants to join a sorority to continue her cheer leading career, and is a virgin. It is also obvious that she is very simple minded and naive. That's really all there is to the character. Is she a good character? She doesn't have much of a personality and her whole point in the book is to die (which she does).

Sexuality
There is a ton of sexuality in this book. From a Professor that uses his tongue for sex to a guy who got a gigantic dick and ended up effing his wife to death. The sex in this book was more humorous to me than actually erotic.

Horror Elements
There are horror elements here which makes the book a little fun in that area. The sorority house is haunted by a ghost of a girl that was a sorority sister and there is a spirit called the Green Knight. While it isn't really all that scary, it is still enjoyable for some of the horror elements.

Final Thoughts
This book is the first in a trilogy and I am actually interested to see how it all will end. It was not a good book, but it was enjoyable. I knew what I was getting into when I picked up the book and I wasn't disappointed in that regard. However, if you are looking for a well written book, or don't like reading crappy books, then you should stay away from this book. But, if you want a fun book, I'd suggest getting this book from your library and reading it.

Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Sherlock Holmes is a detective (no duh! ) and I'm not good at mysteries. I usually always fail at solving them. In fact, if I solve your mystery story you should think about rewriting it.

Title: Sherlock Holmes

Director: Guy Ritchie

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams

Rated: PG-13

Released: 2009

Rating: 3.5/5

Basic Plot: Sherlock Holmes has to solve the mystery of how a dead man can come back to life and cause chaos.

Similarities to the Original Sherlock Holmes
Checking on imdb, I saw that there are many callbacks to the Sherlock Holmes stories. Some are even specific lines. I didn't really notice these callbacks due to the fact that I haven't read a lot of Sherlock Holmes. While I will admit the Sherlock Holmes series is good, mysteries (if they don't involve some fantasy elements) don't really interest me that much because I'm not good at solving them.

No Fantasy
To me, Sherlock Holmes and fantasy don't go together. This is because Sherlock Holmes is all about logic and the supernatural is anything but. While it would be nice to see Holmes out of his element, it just wouldn't fit the universe of the series. It's the reason I don't think aliens and Indiana Jones go together. I love aliens and I like Indiana Jones, but those two don't work together. Luckily enough, this movie doesn't have any fantasy to it. By the end, all is explained in logic. But, when you first watch it, it seems fantasy is a possibility.

Chemistry
The chemistry between Robert Downey Jr. (Sherlock Holmes) and Jude Law (Watson) is wonderful to watch. They really do play off each other and make the characters seem like long time friends. This was one of my favorite things about this movie, in fact. There is action, and a little romance, but the main thing for me is the chemistry.

Final Thoughts
This movie is a good movie with a decent premise. True, the main plot is Blackwood taking over England (reminds me of taking over the world), but it is all handle very well. The main villain is shown to be a real threat and his influence is vast. The ending hints at a sequel (that is going to actual happen) and you truly want to see what will happen. Not just because you want to see what will happen about Professor Moriarty but because you want to see what will happen with Sherlock Holmes. While this movie might get slow at places, it is well worth it. I would highly recommend it for you mystery fans out there.

What country's cuisine is your favorite?

This is very hard to say. I like Sushi from Japan but I don't really eat a lot of Japanese food. I'd have to say Italian.
