Yay for Harry Potter Fan Fic =p

Repost from Winter.

Cassandra Claire has evil funny writing, hah. She's the one that wrote the Very Secret Diaries or something like that, for a LOTR parody. I didn't really like them much (not so much to my taste) but what I DID like, however, are some of her Harry Potter parodies and just general fantasy.

Girls Guide to Defeating the Dark Lord is somewhat predictable but a really good read nonetheless. =p

Something Impossible falls into the category of Harry Potter slash. Harry / Draco and if you don't like slash then you shouldn't read. =p And if you don't know what slash is then you should Google it first as it's a less painful way of finding out than reading. =p

Caveat Lector is a deliciously funny Ginny fic where she's trying to tie up loose ends with the Dark Lord.

A Lot To Be Upset About is yet another Ginny / Draco pairing that's reasonably ok, but what's really funny here is the parody on Harry's behaviour in Order of The Phoenix. Gave me quite a few giggles.

Confusion

I think I will keep this blog and put most of the content here. Expect some reposts from Winter to end up here. I like it too much. Winter shall remain online and I shall post in it infrequently, if at all.

Need For Speed Underground has repeatedly won accolades for its ingame soundtrack, consisting for the most part of various alternative rock, pop and punk. This is one of the few soundtrack selections to strike a chord with my taste in music, and hey it makes great driving music. A few of my favourites =p

Story of the Year : And the Hero Will Drown. Genre : rock / pop. Really gives you a feeling of tearing up the roads, my favourite of this lot.
Lost Prophets : Ride. Genre, Rock / Pop. Very catching intro and buildup, and gotta love the guitar riffs.
Andy Hunter : The Wonders of You. Genere, trance, electronic, techno? Whatever... just sounds great. This is from a christian album too, surprise.
BT : Kimosabe. Genre, Electronic / Rap. Surprisingly catchy song, for someone like me who isn't fond of rap.
The Crystal Method : Too Slow. Genre, rock / electronic.
Rob Zombie : Two Lane Blacktop. Genre, modern rock.
Static X : The Only. Genre, heavy metal?
Quarter : Fuel. Genre, rock?
Junkie XL : Action Radius. Genre, techno?

Story of the Year is a pretty good group, I might end up getting their CD or something. And I'm definitely going to check out the others.

Final Fantasy Advent Children

Final Fantasy Advent Children. Some of the best (and most over the top) action sequences ever seen in CG. Some of the hottest girls and prettiest guys = ) This movie release seems aimed squarely at fans of the video game, Final Fantasy 7. Other than that, it's just a huge action sequence with some minor bits of dialogue and plot to hold it together. I mean, the final action sequence starts mid way through the entire movie. Good soundtrack managed to keep the action sequences tight and thread them together. I can't stop watching this, haha, such a visual treat.

*edit* cloud is so hot =p

Winter

I am reopening Winter : my previous blog design and title. And also resuming more normal blogging schedule and topics. I will be updating both of them on a regular basis I guess.

(We hope)

Still keeping this blog open simply because it's so convenient to stick pictures up here.

Last night

I had two nightmares. The one I much preferred was the one where I was in an underground sewer and then being eaten alive by rats. Well at least I was trying not to be, and running away while more and more burst out of the walls and started chewing on me =p And of course I had to trip and fall when I tried to run up the flight of stairs that would take me back to the surface (as if that would do me any good). And no it's no use asking me about what the other one was except that it was 10x worse =p

My digital drumkit sounds awesome with a good pair of headphones. Conclusion : drums are meant to be played very loud. No meaning at all if you play at low volume. =p
