Sayings Sundays (March 23, 2014)

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is one of those shows that deserved so much more than it got. It only got two seasons when it deserved so much more. It is one of the big reasons I became a Terminator fan.

The show follows the adventures of Sarah Connor, John Connor, Cameron, and Derek Reese as they try to stop Judgement Day from happening. It's the one non-James Cameron pieces in the franchise that is adored by the majority of Terminator fans.

The quote I chose this week is said by Derek Reese about Cameron (aka the good Terminator of the series, except for one episode). Throughout the majority of the series the two are at odds. It is most likely that Cameron is the Terminator that tortured him in the future and so he hates her. Also is the fact that he generally loathes Terminators in general.

Hey, he's a fighter of the Resistance so that mindset is to be expected.

And here is another Within Temptation song. Hey, they're a good group so expect more of their songs in the future.

When I heard the song 'Iron' I thought that it matched Rachel. The song is basically the singer talking to a person who needs to fight and can't change the fact. That's Rachel.

Rachel, of course, being from the Animorphs series by K.A.Applegate.

Many people confuse Rachel as just someone who loves bloodshed and can't live without the war with the Yeerks. What they often forget is that many times throughout the series she questions herself. She doesn't just fight without thinking, she fights and questions how much she has changed.

I think this song fits her perfectly for that aspect.

Masquerade 2014 Begins

Info From HERE

The Masquerade has started! Yipee!

Every year on Subeta the Masquerade happens. This is a time of dancing and gives me a reason to really work on dressing up my Human Avatar. I went for sexy and red this year. Plus I needed a little pet to walk around with me. So adorable!

So how do you participate?

First you need to be wearing a mask. Yes, any other clothing is optional. If you weren't thinking that question, another of my readers would be thinking it.

Next you head over to the Dancing Forums where you will be able to choose a dance partner. Then you wait for their reply. Yep, someone can decline to dance with you for whatever reason.

For each time a person accepts your dance invitation (or if you accept someone's dance invitation) you get one of two kinds of trinkets: Lounge or Steamworks.

Lounge Trinkets will allow you to buy items from the Libertine Lounge which has food and drink items.

Steamworks Trinkets will allow you to buy items from the Steamworks Menagerie which has wearables among other things.

So if you see me on the dance floor, don't be afraid to say hi!

New Junko Line: Enthralled

Info From HERE

Subeautique is the place on Subeta where the high end fashion is. It is expensive to get anything there. But if you have the money, it's a good place to shop.

Junko has just released a new line called Enthralled. It seems to be a very fire based line and I LOVE fire. Well...two of their items are fiery.

If I ever get my hands on this line I'd most likely get the Makeup Kit and Folded Top.

Millionaire Center Has New Items

Info From HERE

Spring is in the air. Winter is over! I live in a place where season changes aren't really noticeable, so there's no real change for me.

The Millionaire Center has some new items for the occasion, though.

Items like these:

The Parkstroller Satchel will allow you to open it and choose one item. The Parkstroller Satchel looks like this:

These items will retire June 21, 2014.

Red Dragon (Thomas Harris)

Title: Red Dragon

Series: Hannibal

Author: Thomas Harris

Released: 1981

Rating: 5/6

Basic Plot: A killer called the Tooth Fairy is on the loose and Will Graham is called in to stop him. Graham ends up having to seek the help of the cannibal who tried to kill him. Hannibal Lecter.
---------------------------------------------------------------

The Tooth Fairy
The villain for this book is complex. He isn't a killer that kills for the sake of killing, he has a reason. He is humanized and I pitied him, but knew he had to be caught. What causes him to kill can be traced back to him being abused in his childhood. So his vision of the world got seriously fucked up. I like when a villain is more than pure evil and you can see why they react like they do. It's not merely that they do bad to do bad, but that they believe they are doing right.

Revealing the Villain
While I don't like Manhunter (the first movie adaptation of this book), the fact is I like that reveal of the Tooth Fairy. I feel that the novel revealed the identity of the Tooth Fairy too early. I get that now that we know who he is we can see the chase from both sides. However, I'd really like the buildup to his reveal to have been longer.

Will's Resolve
Will Graham has been retired but in the beginning of the novel he is brought back in. He doesn't like his work at all. He doesn't like feeling like a killer. Oh, forgot to mention that Will has a sort of superhuman ability to get into the mind of a killer so that he feels what the killer feels. So when he's on a case it can be very disturbing for him. Will mentions at least once in the novel that he goes through Hell so that people will be alive in the future.

Final Thoughts
I bet some of you are wondering why I haven't mentioned Hannibal Lecter in this review. These written reviews are meant to be short and Hannibal doesn't play one of the biggest roles in the novel. Don't get me wrong, he is the one to help Will solve the case and he is also the one to give the Tooth Fairy the ability to find Will's home. But I was trying to keep to the basics here. This is a good novel and it soars over Hannibal Rising (the first book in the Hannibal series I read). If you are looking for a good scare with good characters, I recommend this book for you.
