Manga Review - Divine Bells

Divine Bells had been an interesting read so far.  The main character, Hong-Ryung, is sullen, speaking only when necessary.  Still, I find him interesting and cute.  There are plenty of mysteries that need solving so I can definitely see this manga going on for some time.  Reminds me a bit of Tower of God.  If you like Tower of God this could be a good manga for you.  I'm guessing it's written by the same author/artist, there is that much in common.  But, I haven't looked into it so I can't say for sure.

Upcoming Movies #1 (Iron Man 3)

 Honestly I have know idea what's going to happen in the new iorn man movie.  The trailer is confusing, you can't even tell who's wearing the new iorn man suit.  The movie reviews aren't any better at explaining.  The only option left is to wait and see.  What I can say is that the movie looks exciting, action packed, and more in depth than either of it's predecessors.  A definite must see. 

In theaters May 3rd, 2013

Complexity

A new Arrow comes out tonight and for some reason I can't seem to get excited about it.  I guess after the two week wait between episodes over thanksgiving killed the suspense that had been steadily building up.  It's not that I don't like the show anymore but I tend to build up great expectations which leave me disappointed when I actually watch the show (or movie as the case may be). The same thing happened when I watched The Bourne Legacy.

I have started up where I left off in The Mentalist some time ago.  Something about the character of Patrick Jane just draws me in like a bee to honey.  It has not once left me dissatisfied like so many others.

Often times with people I feel like after a year or two they become boring. Background noise, they're hardly noticeable.  When I watch The Mentalist I am able to see the complexity humans.  There is so much my eyes gloss over that I don't see the truth before them.  How sad then that I can see it in a TV show.  Or how happy, depending on your point of view.

A Bit of Warmth in this Cold Weather

There are some things in life that you just have to sit back and enjoy.  This song is one of them.

Remember, just because you are feeling down doesn't mean you should give up.  Your imagination can take you anywhere.  So, make it take you somewhere you want to be.

The Host VS Paul

Now these are two movies that I've been meaning to watch for a while (well, Paul more so than The Host).

  •   The Host is the weirdest, most depressing yet funny movie I have ever watched.  I have never seen a family with worse luck.  Even at the end I expected something bad to happen but you don't really see anything.

  •   On the other hand, Paul was hilarious.  It was ridiculous in so many ways, ironic too.  Where Paul is more of a pick-me-up The Host is an end-of-the-world scenario.  However, in Paul the same jokes were used over and over.  It was a bit tiring.

Though both movies have people falling to pieces at the sight of something strange The Host goes more toward mass hysteria than comical.  For that reason I would choose Paul over The Host.  I felt better after watching Paul, whereas after watching The Host I was a little depressed.

Living Christmas Tree

Went for a living Christmas tree this year.  It's so pretty!   Plus...

• It won't  have to be cut down like so many others.  
• Low cost (only $60) which I won't have to pay again for a few years.  After that I'll have to plant it and buy a new one.  
• Good for the environment

13 To Life + Manga

Started a new series, the first book is called 13 To Life.  It reminds me of Twilight a lot.  The difference is that this series is about werewolves and it is much fun to read thanTwilight ever was.  Plus, this humor isn't there on accident.  It actually sounds like it was meant to be funny and not a collection of cheesy lines.

New Manga...

Kurenai no Ookami to Ashikase no Hitsuji

I started a few others but this is the only one that really caught my attention.

heaven and hell

I am not what you would call religious, but recently I keep hearing the phrase 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions'.  Well, if the road to hell is paved with good intentions just what is the road to heaven paved with?
