The bus trip was long and boring. What made it especially hard to bear was the fact that nothing interesting was happening. For the first hour or two I listened in on conversations, but that only held my interest for so long. Mostly they talked about television shows that I had never heard about. Finally we arrived in a town called Nuscon.
Stepping off the bus, I started to walk around to find a place to stay. There were many small little shops selling items that advertised the place. These must be for what the scientists had called tourists. While looking at a t-shirt through the window, I heard some footsteps. I didn't pay them any mind because there were a lot of people walking by me.
"You new here?" A voice said and I turned around. The man was taller than any of the scientists and looked like a 'tough guy'. He was wearing clothing that called attention to his muscles. If he decided to attack me I might be in trouble.
"Yes," I replied. "I am Matthias, I just arrived here."
"Poor you." The man replied. "My name is Thomas Savan. I've lived here forever. Well, I only moved here when I left my parents." Parents. I didn't remember my parents. I did, a little, but when I thought of my father I always saw someone that looked remarkably like Makija.
My stomach growled and Thomas looked at me. "Want to go for a beer?" He asked me. I had never had alcohol before because the scientists didn't want anything to distract me.
"Sure." I replied and Thomas started walking me to what I assumed would be a bar.
We drank, talked, and ate at the bar. Thomas seemed to be unstable but grew on me the more I drank.
"So, do you have a place to stay?" Thomas asked.
"No." I said and smiled wildly. "I'm on the road with no home."
"Why don't you stay with me? You can stay in my garage."
"You just met me." I said and laughed.
"You're amusing and you have good stories. Though they all have to do with scientists. You like scientists?"
"I'm familiar with them." I replied. I couldn't say more since something kept me from saying the names of the scientists and anything specific about the lab.
"Let's go. I think I spent enough already." Thomas said, seeming to ignore my disdain for the scientists.
* * *
"Another pancake?" Thomas asked.
"Yes." I said and Thomas gave me another pancake. I liked the pancakes, though it was weird seeing Thomas do any form of cooking. But, then again, he did live by himself.
"How do you like this place after two weeks of living here?" He asked me and sat down.
"Nuscon is a good place to be."
Thomas shook his head. "You must not have been many places then."
"No, I haven't." I replied truthfully. "So when do you want me to leave?"
"I think I can support you living here a couple of months if you can't find another place." Thomas said.
After I finished my final pancake, I went to the garage and took out the Gralg ad. It appeared to be a fake drug. So why did it interest me?

Writing Sex Scenes
As you can see with Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: Enslaved 3, I don't really do sex scenes. In fact, when I wrote that chapter it was only when writing that I realized my mistake in putting that in the chapter. You might be thinking that I don't like sex scenes at all, but you'd be wrong.
In my opinion, two things can save a crummy movie: sex or explosions. If your movie is crummy and has either of the two, it might be bearable. I will also roleplay sex scenes in detail. Will I sacrifice plot for sex in those instances? Well, roleplaying is when I have fun and don't focus too much on the details.
So if I don't mind sex scenes: why don't I write them in my literature? When I write I do things at the bare minimum. That is to say that if it doesn't add to the plot in some way, shape, or form I don't write it. Sex scenes are usually never a reason to stop your story because they don't add to the plot.
The 'sex scene' in SST: Enslaved 3 gets the bare essentials done while not taking up too much space. Of course the scene is awkward, but I had to balance my policy of no sex scenes (which has been in place ever since I started writing) with getting this scene done.

The Terminators (Part 1)
In this part of my The Terminators (2009) review I look at the Aslyum, the plot of the movie, and how the action made the movie bearable.

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.
