This whole week some friends and I are going to be on a mini road trip to nowhere in particular. We must make it back by the 1st because of work (bleh!) if not, we'd be gone for a bit longer. I doubt we'll make it far, but time away with friends is always fun.
Calder White lives in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans, killing them to absorb their energy. But this summer the underwater clan targets Jason Hancock out of pure revenge. They blame Hancock for their mother's death and have been waiting a long time for him to return to his family's homestead on the lake. Hancock has a fear of water, so to lure him in, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock's daughter, Lily. Easy enough—especially as Calder has lots of practice using his irresistable good looks and charm on ususpecting girls. Only this time Calder screws everything up: he falls for Lily—just as Lily starts to suspect that there's more to the monsters-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined. And just as his sisters are losing patience with him.
My thoughts on what I'm watching. Possibly spoiler-y.
Dexter - Season 6 finale
Hmmm um no! WHY ARE YOU GETTING FREUDIAN DANG IT?!!?!?! (Okay, somewhat Freudian.) Ugggggh I disapprove. By the by, that therapist is not following protocol when she "gently" suggests you-know-what. That, ladies and gents, is not how you ask a client a question.
And what is up with that IT guy? dot dot dot I feel like he's going to discover who Dexter really is in the next season. I'm wondering what will happen with the person who already discovered who he is though. That was some crazy shhhhtuff .
Misfits - Season/Series 3 finale
WTF???? Apparently Alisha and Simon are not going to be returning to the series. *dies inside* What is going on here? First Nathan and now Alisha and Simon?? I don't care that much about any other characters. How is the series going to survive? I'm so upset.
New Girl - Season 1, The 23rd (Ep 9)
*SCREAMS* I knew they would remove him from the equation, but so soon? I'm too sad now.
NMP = songs I've recently added to my never ending playlist of songs I'll play in a loop unless I have the master list on shuffle. If the song's legally available for free (usually for a limited time for promotional purposes) I shall provide a link. Let me know which you liked and what else you've heard from the artists or if you have anything you'd like to recommend!
**warning! explicit**
"Holocene" by Bon Iver
Found: off his new album Thoughts: Incredible song, sound, lyrics, and video. Tad sad though.
And at once I knew I was not magnificent Strayed above the highway aisle Jagged vacance, thick with ice And I could see for miles, miles, miles
"White Winter Hymnal" (Fleet Foxes cover) by Birdy
Found: off her album full of wonderful covers
And Michael you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime
Here's an older one **warning! explicit**
"Look at Me Now" by Christ Brown fr. Busta Rhymes and Lil' Wayne
Found: friend's ipod Thoughts: not a fan of the lyrics (can't relate at all...), but the beat is amazing. Lil' Wayne's bit adds nothing to this, which is unfortunate because he can do so much better.
Everyone thinks Evan is sick . . . Everyone thinks science will find a cure. But Evan knows he is not sick; he is transforming. Evan’s metamorphosis has him confined to his bed, constantly terrified, and completely alone. Alone except for his visits from the Wuftoom, a wormlike creature that tells him he is becoming one of them.
Clinging to his humanity and desperate to help his overworked single mother, Evan makes a bargain with the Vitflies, the sworn enemies of the Wuftoom. But when the bargain becomes blackmail and the Vitflies prepare for war, whom can Evan trust? Is saving his humanity worth destroying an entire species, and the only family he has left?

Found: Breaking Dawn pt. 1 soundtrack Resembles: Kings of Leon (the style somewhat reminds me of them)
Okay this is from Jimmy Kimmel. He told parents this past Halloween to trick their kids into thinking that their candy has been eaten. Here are the reactions:
my favorite is the two brothers. "2 + 2= 5" "It equals 4, but Jake, you were so close." How cute is that?? The "*gasp* you sneaky mom!" was of course hilarious!
Awwwwwwww He was tricked by his dad and he still hugs him after trying so hard to not cry. :'(
Jimmy Kimmel recently did a Christmas version of this:
**WARNING! the last one is crude and disappointing esp coming from a kid**
Every winter, straight-laced, Ivy League bound Evan looks forward to a visit from Lucy, a childhood pal who moved away after her parent's divorce. But when Lucy arrives this year, she's changed. The former "girl next door" now has chopped dyed black hair, a nose stud, and a scowl. But Evan knows that somewhere beneath the Goth, "Old Lucy" still exists, and he's determined to find her... even if it means pissing her off.
Garden State meets Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist in this funny and poignant illustrated novel about opposites who fall in love.

Started reading it and I'm liking it so far. Not too long ago I read Emond's Happyface and I enjoyed reading it so of course I was curious about his next book. I especially like the illustrations he adds here and there.
Mackenzie and Amy were best friends. Until Amy was brutally murdered.
Since then, Mac’s life has been turned upside down. She is being haunted by Amy in her dreams, and an extremist group called the Trackers has come to Mac’s hometown of Hemlock to hunt down Amy’s killer: A white werewolf.
Lupine syndrome—also known as the werewolf virus—is on the rise across the country. Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to control.
Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy’s murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, secrets about Amy’s boyfriend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her life at risk.
Kathleen Peacock’s thrilling novel is the first in the Hemlock trilogy, a spellbinding urban fantasy series filled with provocative questions about prejudice, trust, lies, and love.
I am a T.V and Book Addict. College student working on Education degree so I can work with (hopefully) pre-kindergarden or kindergarten kiddies (hopefully, hopefully in an adoption agency). You'll find YA book reviews (some Non-YA) movie reviews (sometimes before the release date of the movie), music recommendations, and random silliness.

I do review ebooks, but I can be picky with them. Just ask me ;)
