Books & Life

So I started this 50 Book Summer Challenge on my Book Review blog, and I'm thinking I may only get to do about 30... (if that). I'm going to try to do as many as possible, but I do have other things going on in my life this summer.

1) DH and I are moving into a new apartment on Friday! (YAY!) We are going to be moving into a new place that is bigger (2 br instead of 1) and WAY more windows and less like the dungeon we live in now.

This dungeon has more light then our apartment O_o

2) DH and I are visiting a friend in St. Louis, MO in June for a week. I'm super excited because I have never been there and they have AWESOME museums and stuff that is free to the public. Also, I've come to find out that in a certain museum they are going to have inventions that Da Vinci has made! I'm super excited, because this came from Italy, and I will have a chance to see it!

Did you know that Da Vinci wrote upside down and backwards in his journal to keep people from being able to read it?

3) My brother and sister (twins) are coming to stay with us (hopefully) for a week in July. Don't have much planned yet (and we won't have a lot of money this summer) but I'm excited to see them!

4) My OTHER brother and sister (youngin's) are coming for a week in August for the first time! I can't wait to see them, and I'm sure we will go to the zoo or something like that.

5) All summer I work at art camps from 8am-1pm (sometimes til 5pm).

6) My other job is from 1pm-5pm.

7) I start yet ANOTHER job at a magazine as a photographer at the end of July or August.

Sooooo yeah... These books may not get done in time (doesn't help that I just wrote an extra long post either).

Final Fantasy X Rant

So, lately I have been playing all of the Final Fantasy games, going up to 13 because I recently bought it and I KNOW none of them have anything to do with one another, but I have just been feeling like playing all of them.

I started with 8, because that is the earliest I own, and I got to play all the way up to the 3rd disc... and then it was scratched >_< loveelyyy.... Sooo... I just decided to watch the cut-scenes from the game all the way to the ending, and well... yeah. Just left it at that. If I knew someone who owned it and was willing to let me borrow it, I would have finished it... but I didn't... soooo... 

Onwards to IX! 9 is definitely my favorite final fantasy. I don't know what it is about it, but I love all of the characters, the wit and humor, and just really everything about this game. And I mean, the main character have a monkey tail. How awesome is he?!

So I finished IX, and here I am at X... all is going great until Yunalesca.

ASEROJEWNF@)%*)#*HEWFJQ@#($&%~!

That's what I have to say about her. She is really aggravating me. Everything was running so smoothly. And I thought she was going to be easier than this. The first time I encountered this when I was thirteen, my best friend played this fight in ONE battle, in like 20 min max. So I thought, you know, maybe it was easy if it was easy for a 13 yr old. Not.

I want to have fun playing final fantasy, so I'm going to take a break for a while. I heard somewhere, that if you take a break, your brain works things out for you, even if you are not thinking about it. I'm hoping this will happen.

So while I'm waiting to replay this battle again, I'm filling up my time with Eternal Sonata, and am going to play it to the fullest - since the first time I played I didn't get all of the scores or any other side quest items.

Watching Full Moon

So, recently I just rewatched the anime Full Moon (o Sagashite).

BEST. ANIME. EVER.

Oh so many tears.

Has anyone ever watched it? I was proud to find out that it was on Hulu... but the only thing about that is they have like 3 commercial spots and then they play 3 commercials in each spot -_- - but I did rewatch all of them on Hulu because it had the best quality. If you don't care about quality - this show is easy to find online with out commercials.

On a side note - Full Moon is free on Hulu - You DO NOT need a PAID account.

The ending of Full Moon tugs at your heart strings! I won't put any spoilers on this post, but *tears* Meroko!♥

 (This is not a picture from the anime - but it IS one of my favorites from the manga!)
