!!Happy Earth Day!! A Top 10 Anime/Manga Fights List finally added to the Anime page!! Kanda (D.Gray-Man), Lavi (D.Gray-Man), Tyki (D.Gray-Man), and Luffy (One Piece) added to Honorable Mentions! Zoro (One Piece) got a better bio. I also managed to upload the 369 screencaps (+1 wallpaper) of Kanda that I took, and spliced together episodes 77, 78, and 79 of D.Gray-Man into one uninterrupted Kanda vs Skin fight! (right click and "save as") Together they make up 400mb, which is like half the rest of my website. O.o Go Kanda!! XD I'd talk more about him but, then I'd drool all over my keyboard and/or short-circuit the computer and it wouldn't be pretty. Best just watch for yourself. ^____^ Umm okay... CORRECTION!! Kamui (X/1999) and Aya (Weiss Kreuz) have been moved to the Honorable Mentions list, and Kanda has been moved to Runners Up on the Top 10 Manga/Anime Guys List! Geez, it's barely been half a day and he already got a promotion. Kamui was dropped because I haven't been into X/1999 in a very long time and I doubt I will be any time soon, and Aya because Kanda fulfills the beautiful, disciplined, katana-wielding swordsman archetype even better than he does. God help either Sasuke or Manji if Kanda gets a decent backstory. Also, Setsuna (Angel Sanctuary) has been dropped from Honorable Mentions altogether because, well, I don't know what he was doing there in the first place... O.o
My Guestbook has inexplicably died. I suspect this has something to do with my host revamping all the features, but the fact is, I have no backup of the Guestbook, so all the entries are gone. I'm sorry. :( However, the new Guestbook is now up and running, so please re-sign it! ^_^;; I love Heroes... and not just because it's a great show with fun characters. I want to write a ramblings about why I love it, but the feelings are so overwhelming that I can't begin to put them into words. Like K-Pax and Sunshine, it reminded me of who I am and why I'm here. Unlike K-Pax and Sunshine, it helped me resolve a lot of my bitterness and loss of hope towards humanity. I don't want to destroy (2/3rds-3/4ths of) them anymore! Be grateful, Earthlings!! ...It's a pretty big deal, and has given me a less cynical reason to live. (Unless in the 3rd season they put in a really evil cliffhanger and make me wait five weeks to see the next episode... then I might start contemplating destroying humans again. :P) So yeah, the Top 10 TV Shows List has been updated with Heroes, X-Files, Big Bang Theory, and Roar. I also noticed that since I rearranged files on my Dante shrine, A LOT of the image links broke. Wow, that's embarrassing. FIXED!! News for the month of March '08 moved to the Old News page.
A new category added to the Wallpapers page: Ancestors! There you will find wallpapers concerning cities of ancient civilizations (Maya and Ancestral Puebloan, at the moment). I've also added several new wallpapers to Canyons and Mountains. The new wallpapers are also available in 1920x1200 resolution! Yay widescreen! ^_^ Countdown on Beliefs page changed to Beltane.
Devil May Cry 4 Quotes added!
Sanctus boss strategy added!
Savior boss strategy added! The Kaien Connection and Hollow Hybrids sections of the Ichigo Trinity shrine updated with more Ukitake info! Okami finally added as #6 to the Top 10 Games List! I mean, it has a wonderful story, it's set in mythic Japan, it's got the most beautiful soundtrack I have ever heard, and you get to be a goddess!! A goddess who restores nature wherever she goes! =D It really makes me wish I had a Wii. I mean, I played it and loved it on my PS2, but the brush stroke system in the game makes it ideal for the Wii controller. "Perfect" isn't even the word to describe how flawlessly the game should integrate with the Wii controller. *_*
Berial boss strategy added! The upcoming DMC4 Dante statue added to the Figures page.
Angelo Credo and Agnus boss strategies added!!
Happy New Moon!! Echidna boss strategy added!!
Dante boss strategy added!!
The Blood Fetish shrine is now updated with stuff on Devil May Cry 4!! A review of Devil May Cry 4 added to the Games page! The Mission Highlights for DMC4 is up! Boss strategy for Bael/Dagon is up! The soundtrack for DMC4 added to the Music page! A new music video, "Dante > Nero," added to the Tribute page (and the generic Videos page)! The Looks page updated with a new picture and description for DMC4 Dante! DMC4 Strategy Guide added to the Books page! I'd do this all sooner but I was too busy playing. :P Funny, the theme song for DMC4 is currently my #1 Vergil x Dante/Dante x Vergil song. I think the lyrics are perfect for them! The countdown on the Beliefs page changed to Ostara. News for the month of January '08 moved to the Old News page.
A page for the movie Tebana Sankichi added to the Tak Sakaguchi shrine, and the Biography page updated with stuff about Tebana Sankichi (which is quite a bit of stuff considering it was shot over a period of 7 years)!
Well Happy 2008!! I'm celebrating by moving to Albuquerque, heheheh. I also got a soymilk maker machine with which I can make fresh soymilk, tofu, and okara for sooo much cheaper than in stores! I swear, a months' supply of soybeans for all the milk, tofu, and okara I could possibly want costs less than half the price of a carton of Silk soymilk. I looove making tofu!! OK, now for the real updates! A page for the movie Yo-Yo Girl Cop added to the Tak Sakaguchi shrine! Finally the search words "Tak Sakaguchi" have overtaken "Noob Saibot" for the most hits to my site! Which is nice... because... I have nothing about Noob Saibot on my site. o.o I still have no clue why it keeps getting so much hits from that. >.< Also, Tak Sakaguchi's Official MySpace page has been added to the Movie Links! He sure knows how to post pictures!! *_* I tried adding him to my MySpace... we'll see how it goes. :P I've already started practicing my pickup line: "Kono sekai ga owaru toki, watashi wa Sakaguchi-sama wo tasukedasu!" I also found a nice growing vegan community called VeganAdam, so a link for that has been added, as well. News from December of '07 has been moved to the Old News page.
2007
Happy Yule! Happy Full Moon!! A shrine to Fukki (Taikoubou) from Houshin Engi is now up: The Many Faces of Fukki! Likewise, two years after getting kicked off the Top "10" Anime/Manga Guys List, Fukki makes a triumphant return and re-claims his old rank of #6! It was a long battle between him and Youzen, but Fukki took a quantum leap in the last few volumes of Houshin Engi manga. I still love Youzen bunches, of course... especially after finding out he has a Youkai form! (Anime: getting demons laid since the 1980's) Youzen and Taiitsu Shinjin added to the Honorable Mentions list, and Youzen gets props for being the second person on my lists who actually qualifies as boyfriend material (the other one being Kurama). Unfortunately, Fukki's ascent also meant somebody had to be taken off the Top 10 List, and that somebody was Renji. He is now back in the Runners Up list, with new dialogue! The countdown on the Beliefs page was changed to Imbolc.
Two more characters added to the Honorable Mentions list: Zodd (Berserk) and Byakuya (Bleach). Added a Standardized Rating System for the Top 10 Anime/Manga List and changed ratings accordingly.
The Honorable Mentions list is now expanded to include females! Added: Slan (Berserk), Sango (Inu Yasha), Botan (Yu Yu Hakusho), Mad Hatter (Angel Sanctuary), and Haku (Naruto)... Err, does Haku count as a girl? A few other descriptions and ratings tweaked.
Made a lot of changes to the anime lists. I now acknowledge Griffith (Berserk) as a conscious God Hand, so his power rating on the Top "10" Anime/Manga Guys List has been raised to 5. The Honorable Mentions are now in alphabetical order, with 3 new additions: Serpico (Berserk), Guts (Berserk), and Soubi (Loveless). The Top 8 Anime/Manga Girls List is now the Top 10 Anime/Manga Girls List with the additions of Schierke (Berserk), and Rei (Evangelion). Jeez, Berserk is just dominating, isn't it. XD It has overtaken Yu Yu Hakusho for the #3 spot on the Top 10 Anime/Manga List, hitting the glass ceiling that is Bleach and Slayers. Going any farther is... highly improbable. That list now also has its own rating system for shows, which is bound to shift around as I re-watch shows. News from the month of November '07 moved to the Old News page.
I felt reeeally bad about making Hiei #5, and Kurama reeeally didn't like being so far away from him... so Hiei's #4 now and Xelloss got dropped to #5 on the Top "10" Anime/Manga Guys List. You gotta put up more of a fight, Xelloss!! XD (hmm... I don't think he cares >_>) They're all very close... Griffith, Xelloss and Hiei, that is. Kurama's still not happy, though. He wants Hiei at #3. I guess I'll have to wait and see if Hiei migrates again. Griffith x Guts added as #3 on the Favorite Pairings List and I've been tweaking the Griffith shrine here and there. Now that I acknowledge Femto as sorta kinda Griffith, does that mean I should tweak Griffith's Power rating to "godlike" and Blood rating to "invulnerable"? That would make him a perfect 5... just like Lucifer. Lucifer and Griffith have been fighting for the same rank on my list for a long, long time. That's because up until very recently, they had identical roles in my head: that of "Ice King." Now Lucifer retains Ice King, but Griffith has drifted away from Lucifer and developed his own identity: that of "Dreamer." This is why Griffith made such a sudden jump. Ironically, Griffith's rise and fall is more Lucifer than Lucifer is.
*siiigh* Okay, after two months of work, the Griffith shrine is finally done!!.The Top "10" Anime/Manga Guys List is in utter chaos!! Soujirou has dropped out of his #5 spot among the Immortals, down to #7, Xelloss dropped from #2 to #4 (he'll probably jump up again whenever I watch Slayers Next), Hiei dropped from #4 to #5, Kurama rose from #3 to #2, and GRIFFITH rose from #7 to #3! Griffith trumping Xelloss!? What is the world coming to?? But I figured if I've worked on Griffith's shrine this hard for this long, he deserved it. Also, I know I said I'd have Sunshine screencaps, but I don't think I'll be getting around to taking more of those anytime soon... because: 1) Sunshine Fan already has a huge screencap gallery up and I doubt I can add much to it, 2) no mounting pressure for me to replace the Music Videos page now that I host my own files, and 3) after the Griffith shrine, I don't want to deal with editing more pictures for a whiiile.
Well, I finally upgraded my site to a ton more storage space and bandwidth. This means that the Sunshine shrine's Music Video page doesn't have to come down! I can host the videos on my own site!! This also goes for all the music videos on the regular Videos page and on the Dante shrine's Tribute page! =D So all of you who didn't want to get an account with AnimeMusicVideos.org can now direct download the videos. Huzzah!! I'm pretty sure my 3,000GB worth of bandwidth can handle it, hehehe. But we shall see. I also started screencapping Sunshine because I thought it would be faster to get that out of the way before concentrating on Griffith. When I had 100 screencaps after 15 minutes of footage, I knew I was in trouble. Not sure if I'll finish that or work on Griffith, but suffice to say, when I'm done with Sunshine, the gallery will be rather large.
OK, I didn't update for a while again... ehehehe. ^_^;; Umm... happy late Samhain!! XD I sacrificed a pomegranate and bathed my new Behelit in its blood. As for why the lack of updates? Lotta things going on. I got accepted to University of New Mexico for Astrophysics, been reviewing all the math I know, my house has been turned upside down thanks to remodeling, then there's the Travel business that... wasn't doing as well as I wanted it to, and when I go back to college in January I won't have time for it anymore. So screw it! Back to Plan A!! My long-planned idea for a Tarot reading business that never quite got off the ground - UNTIL NOW! BEHOLD!! The purple button on your right that says "TAROT" now points to my brand new Tarot reading/information website! Yes, Twilight Visions Tarot is now up and running! (after 6 hours of being on hold with IPowerweb tech support... no, seriously... 2 hours for Tech Support, 4 hours for Billing) Didn't know I do Tarot? Well SURPRISE!! I've been reading Tarot for over 10 years. Never had a Tarot reading before? Here's your chance! Whew... Now that that's done I can get back to writing my gargantuan Griffith essay that's been kicking my ass for several weeks now. And once that's done, be prepared for a shake up of the Top "10" Anime/Manga Guys List that will SHOCK you!! Or at least will shock me. Here's a hint: Berserk is now #4 on my Top 10 Anime/Manga Series List, and it's not because of Gutts. At some point I'll also need to screencap Sunshine to replace the non-working Sunshine Music Videos page with an image gallery. The regular Movies page will be in hiatus until everything else gets taken care of. Meanwhile, the countdown on the Beliefs page has been changed to Yule, and news from the month of September '07 has been moved to the Old News page. In case you were wondering why I have no updates about the Devil May Cry anime, it's because I HATED IT... A LOT... and am in denial. Still, two new Figures added, the Anime section of the Movies page has been updated, and a section for Fanime added to the Voices page of the Blood Fetish shrine! I also updated Drizzt's Corner with the new Orc King book (that I haven't read yet XD) and a couple of new comics. Happy 20th Anniversary Drizzt!!
So yeah... I didn't update for a while. Was too busy obsessing over Sunshine, astrophysics, solar energy, and generally reevaluating what I want to do with my life. But I do have something to show for the blackout: a brand new shrine to Sunshine!! Featuring an even more expanded "To Touch A God" essay, hehehe. A new music video added to the Videos page: Stellar Love Song!! Sunshine also pulled an Ichigo and is now #0 on my Top "10" Movies List! Besides that, countdowns for The Seeker, Beowulf, and Enchanted added to Movie Watch, reviews of Shoot 'Em Up, War, and Stardust added to New & Now, and old reviews moved to the Reviews/Store page. News from the month of August '07 has been moved to the Old News page.
The essay "To Touch a God" expanded in the Ramblings page. Cillian Murphy added to the Top 10 Actors List.
An essay "To Touch a God" added to the Ramblings page. "Current Obsession" tracker now in place below my weather pixie to the right.
A review for Sunshine added to the New & Now section of the Movies page, and old reviews moved to the Reviews/Store page. The countdown on the Beliefs page has been changed to Mabon and the news from the month of July '07 has been moved to the Old News page.
!!Happy FULL MOON everybody!! Countdowns for Across the Universe and Bee Movie added to Movie Watch, reviews for Sicko, Hairspray, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, and The Simpsons added to the New & Now section of the Movies page, and old reviews moved to the Reviews/Store page!
A countdown for Shoot 'Em Up added to Movie Watch, a review for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix added to the New & Now section of the Movies page!
A countdown for I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry added to Movie Watch, and reviews for 1408, Transformers, and License to Wed added to the New & Now section of the Movies page!
A countdown for Skinwalkers added to Movie Watch, reviews for Ocean's Thirteen, Fantastic 4, Evan Almighty, Live Free or Die Hard, and Ratatouille added to the New & Now section of the Movies page. Old reviews moved to the Reviews/Store page. The countdown on the Beliefs page has been changed to Lughnasadh, and news from the month of June '07 has been moved to the Old News page. But the biggest news is that I finally have my own business started, which hopefully explains the lack of updates. I've had a "Store" button in the right column ever since my site's inception, which was utterly useless, since I never put up a store. That button is now changed to the purple "TRAVEL" button, and leads to my business website. As anyone who's been following my site knows, and as my Wallpapers page well attests to, I looove to travel. It keeps me sane since I can't be stuck in one place for any length of time. Unfortunately, traveling is @%$# expensive, which is why this business is a godsend for me! I can now travel anywhere I want at wholesale prices, paying only processing fees, taxes, and amenities. And I can share the joy, since I now sell these lifetime travel memberships! I also help new business members get started doing what I do. I
even made this nifty ad: And
this nifty ad! And
this nifty ad!! So yeah, lol... check it out, you just might like it. And if you do, give me a call! ^_~
New Wallpapers added from my trip to Hawaii on the Oceans, Woodlands, Waterfalls, Mountains, and Miscellaneous pages. A couple of new Photos added to the Me in Hawaii section. News from the month of May '07 has been moved to the Old News page.
A section for Crouching Waiter, Hidden Chef added to the Voices page! A countdown for The Simpsons Movie added to Movie Watch and a long overdue Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End review added to the New & Now section of the Movies page. I mean, I saw that thing last Thursday... at 8pm... dressed as a pirate in a Chinese shirt with Jack Sparrow eyeshadow. I love being in costume, but it really makes it hard to blend in with the crowd that way. I mean, I dropped this cup of water on the floor, and now everyone can say "the pirate girl did it!" ^_^;
A page for WF Episodes 25 (WxE) and 34 (WxE) added, thereby completing the Episodes portion of the "Quantum Power!" shrine!!

A page for Episode 18 added to the "Quantum Power!" shrine, complete with its corresponding Wes x Eric page!
A page for Episode 16 added to the "Quantum Power!" shrine, complete with its corresponding Wes x Eric page!

A section for U.S. Seals 2 added to the Voices page of the Blood Fetish shrine! Countdowns for Fantastic 4 and Stardust added to Movie Watch and a review for Spiderman 3 added to the New & Now section of the Movies page.
The Quantum Ranger shrine, Quantum Power, has been launched! (The Shrines directory has been updated accordingly) I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with it, but for now I'm working to screencap episodes and put a brief summary of each relevant episode as it pertains to Eric. A page for Episode 20 is up! The countdown on the Beliefs page has been changed to Midsummer and news for the month of April '07 has been moved to the Old News page.
A section for The New World added to the Voices page of the Blood Fetish shrine!
A section for The Medallion added to the Voices page of the Blood Fetish shrine!
Now that I finally have the Ultimate Versus DVD, there are 24 new screencaptures added to the Versus DVD Extras gallery of the Tak Sakaguchi shrine! A brand new page, Voices, has been added to the Blood Fetish shrine in honor of Dan Southworth and Reuben Langdon! Expect to see a ton of Power Rangers screencaps there in the near future. ^_^; The Cosplay stuff has also been given its own page.
Cosplay performance video now linked to Tales of Anime: The Novel! (page 7). Countdowns for Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and 28 Weeks Later added to Movie Watch, a review of Pathfinder added to the New & Now section of the Movies page, and old reviews moved to the Reviews/Store page. Pictures from Tales of Anime added to the Me as Vergil section of the Photos page. So, like, I'm obsessed with Dan right now, cause he's AWESOME!! *_* Trying to find movies with him to watch. Rented House of the Dead 2, and while I figured he'd die, I hoped he'd survive for longer than 20 minutes and maybe be a prominent side character. Well, at least he got to talk and actually fought a zombie hand to hand... that was a baaad idea, by the way. Damnit, Dan, why'd you have to go and get bitten by a zombie. ~_~x So now I'm looking for Power Rangers Time Force! I went on Youtube and searched for Dan Southworth... and my camera blooper with him is like the 4th result down! O.o;; So maybe, if Dan ever looks for himself on Youtube, he'll see that and think "hey, I remember her! that's the crazy chick that tried to kiss Reuben!"
Cosplay photo/video-blog, Tales of Anime: The Novel!, added to the Tribute page of the Blood Fetish shrine!!
The In-Dwelling Hollow section of the Ichigo Trinity shrine has been slightly updated with yet more mask stripes (back from chapter 222) and a manga strip to accompany the assertion that Hollow Ichigo showed up during the first Renji vs Ichigo fight. In anticipation of the upcoming Tales of Anime blog, the Cosplay section of the Blood Fetish shrine has been moved back to the Tribute page and links to individual blog pages. The Fanfiction section now also links to individual stories from the Tribute page. News from the month of March '07 has been moved to the Old News section.
A new section has been added to the Ichigo Trinity shrine: Reincarnation! It isn't exactly coherent right now as I am still sorting through the recent developments in my head, but it's a start.
OMG, so I was obsessively re-reading Ichigo's fight with Hollow Ichigo during his Vaizard training (while listening to T.I.'s "What You Know About That", which is very fitting for Hollow Ichigo), and I do believe I stumbled upon near-solid proof that Ichigo had an in-dwelling Hollow before the Shatter Shaft trial in the pit. Updates on that in the In-Dwelling Hollow section of the Ichigo Trinity shrine! Ichigo being Kaien's reincarnation is hanging on a very thin limb right now given chapter 268 (more on that later), but frankly, I don't need Kaien to justify Ichigo's power anymore. It would be nice and romantic and karmically relevant for me, but Kaien is no longer a pre-requisite for proving Ichigo's inner Hollow... whew!
The Movies page in the Blood Fetish Dante (and Vergil >_>) shrine has been updated with a link to the trailer for the Devil May Cry anime!! AAAARGHH June just can't come fast enough!! >.<
The inevitable byproduct of any obsession, a new music video: Strong Enough! It it my long overdue tribute to Ichigo and the Soul Society arc. I'm very happy with it. ^____^
The Aaroniiro Aluluerie section of the Ichigo Trinity shrine has been updated with the latest developments in the manga. *twitch* The countdown on the Beliefs page has been changed to Beltane.
The Ichigo Trinity shine got a facelift! The scrolling was getting out of hand, so I organized the essay into more easily accessible/digestible sections that you can click through. I have also updated the Aaroniro Aluluerie section to reflect the latest developments in the manga. The look on his face at the sight of sunlight was priceless! I pointed and laughed at him like a madwoman all morning. ^_^;; A countdown for Grindhouse has been added to Movie Watch and a review of 300 has been added to New & Now section of the Movies page. Old reviews have been moved to the Store page.
Those following the United States manga release might be confused by a key phrase discussed in my Ichigo Trinity shrine. Kaien's "I will stand by you even if I die" is translated as "I'm your friend for life" by Viz Media. It might make more superficial sense, sure, but it misses out on a potentially important undertone. If you read the Japanese chapter 134, the phrase is "Ore wa shin de mo omee no mikata da" - "I am your friend/ally even if I die." Likewise, Ichigo's phrase in the Japanese chapter 152 is "Shin de mo hanasuna yo" - "Don't let go even if you die." I added a note about that in the shrine. I also added a panel all about how Isshin's identity as a Shinigami captain might effect the source of Ichigo's power.
Don't think I haven't been keeping a close eye on other developments in Bleach! Yes, I'm talking about Kaien making a comeback in the Manga. The Ichigo Trinity shrine has been updated to cover the story as it unfolds. Exciting times indeed!
A countdown for The Invisible has been added to Movie Watch, and reviews for The Number 23 and Zodiac have been added to the New & Now section of the Movies page. Wow, what are the chances of seeing two movies about obsessed people in a row, eh? In other news, the great Top "10" Anime/Manga Guys List has shifted! This does not happen often, and as such is a noteworthy event. Urahara has been dropped down to Runners Up while Renji takes his rightful place as number 8. This has been a long time coming, but I could no longer deny that I have stronger feelings about Renji than anybody else in the series. That goes for you too, Ichigo, but you're a very special case that isn't affected by my unbridled lust for hot, tattooed, crimson-haired men whose face gets rubbed in their own blood on a regular basis. Be grateful, for Renji is a very formidable rival for my affections! Yes, for a long time I had held Urahara in the Top 10, telling myself that even though I love Renji more, Urahara is a unique asset to the list whose only flaw is his limited role in the series. Surely we would soon see him kick ass and his true potential as a focus unfold! But that time has yet to come, and while Urahara was out of the picture, Renji has been growing very steadily in appeal until finally, yesterday, the scales have tipped. It was in Chapter 265 of the manga, when Renji is forced to fight a "researcher" who has stripped him of bankai and expressed interest in keeping his soon-to-be-dead body intact. It struck a cord with me and greatly amplified my worry/caring meter. Besides, there's just something incredibly erotic about Renji's body being used for unholy Arrancar experiments. ^.^;; *ahem* To celebrate Renji's ascension, I have updated his profile pictures to his cuddly bankai form. P.S. The pizza with extra vegan cheese and mock duck was everything I dreamed it would be! *_*
Here's some more vegan Ramblings called "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish!" Speaking of vegan food, I've found this place in Minneapolis called Galactic Pizza that serves vegan pizza and cheesecake! They're an extremely Earth-friendly facility that runs on wind power and electric cars. Can't wait to try some of it this weekend! News for the month of February '07 has been moved to the Old News page.
The OSCARS are on today! WOOHOO!! Also, a new Ramblings has been added called "Return to Eden." It is a lot less coherent than the "Food of the Underworld" one, but oh well. Maybe I'll refine it later. As for myself, I am still very Vegan and loving it. This is definitely the best decision I ever made. I learned how to cook and I never imagined food of any kind could taste so good! I really need to do a Ramblings about Vegan food sometime.
A countdown for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix added to the Movie Watch section, reviews for Ghost Rider, Hannibal Rising, and Bridge to Terabithia added to the New & Now section of the Movies page. A few reviews moved to the Old Reviews/Store page.
A countdown for The Number 23 has been added to the Movie Watch section, and reviews for The Messengers, The Last King of Scotland, and Letters from Iwo Jima added to the New & Now section of the Movies page. A new entry, "Food of the Underworld," has been added to the Ramblings page. The countdown on the Beliefs page has been changed to Ostara. News from the month of January '07 has been moved to the Old News page.
Countdowns for The Messengers and Spiderman 3 added to the Movie Watch section, and a review of Pan's Labyrinth added to the New & Now section of the Movies page. Go see that movie NOW! Definitely one of my favorite fantasy movies. Nothing else like it. But, to save some of you time: it's all in Spanish subtitles.
The Blood Fetish Dante shrine's Books page has been updated with a review of the Devil May Cry 02 novel (finally), and the Looks page with Dante's character design from the upcoming anime series, and Dante in the Devil May Cry 02 novel. Several movie reviews have been moved from the Movies page to the Reviews/Store page.
Uhh... Happy New Year everybody... and Martin Luther King day!!! ^_^;; I know I haven't been updating much lately, but that's because I was working a lot on revamping the Caldora novel and sorting out a few back stories. The changes probably won't show up on the online version, since I'm more concerned with actually publishing the book. I'm even considering taking the whole novel down, or leaving up just the first few chapters. Anyhow, time for some updates! Drizzt's Corner now has a review of Road of the Patriarch, a new Short Stories section on The "Drizzt Books" Guide that lists books featuring Drizzt-related short stories by R. A. Salvatore, and updated cover art mouse-overs have been added for the Legacy of the Drow section. Countdowns for Epic Movie, The Invisible, Bridge to Terabithia, 300, and Pathfinder added to the Movie Watch section. Reviews for Children of Men, Night at the Museum, The Good Shepherd, Blood Diamond, Pursuit of Happyness, Casino Royale, Eragon, Apocalypto, and The Fountain added to the New & Now section of the Movies page.
