I mentioned a few days ago that I needed some new books to read and nothing new is coming by any of my favorite authors any time soon. Some of you asked if I had anything in specific I stuck to readings. I do horror, fantasy, mystery, biography, history and tons of things. I love books that make me think too. I like when an author can get inside my head. I absolutely don't do romance novels or anything with a lot of romance or girly stuff in it. That's the one thing I just can't get in to. I'd rather eat liver. Lol. Any suggestions are welcome. I'm open to checking out new stuff... as long as it's not romance, trendy or overtly girlie. Helpful right? Lol.
My boyfriend finally updated his blog with a post after over a month with nothing. He's been a busy boy though, working lots of hours and all of that fun stuff that keeps him away from his computer. Which is fine. Right? Right. Check it out if you want to. :o)
I know there was something else I wanted to rant about but for the life of me I just can't remember what it was. Hmm... Oh well. If I do remember, I can always come back and edit it if it's something I really want to put out there.
I love the band Apocalyptica. They're a Finnish cello metal band. Yes, you read that right. Classically trained cellists playing metal. I first heard of them in 2002 and that was after they turned over a couple of band members. Then in 2003, they started adding drums to their music with the drummer of Slayer doing the recordings and then their current drummer being the one to play shows and tour with them. In 2005, they announced the drummer as an official member of the band. The concept of a cello metal band intrigued the hell out of me at first. I love classical music. Incorporating metal and classical music instruments into one thing is amazing. There are some bands who do it that I just pass on. Some bands though, like Apocalyptica, is one of the ones I really like. This video is Apocalyptica featuring Adama Gontier of the band Three Days Grace doing the vocals for the song. Which is cool because I like Gontier's voice. I love this song. The video is odd, kind of lame but kind of cool too. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea and that's cool with me. ;) Don't bash me for liking it and I won't bash you for not liking it. :D
Have a GREAT
Weekend y'all!!!

Definately an interesting sound. I like it. Alot.
i would say DO NOT read the books I offered then. *oopsie* They are not cheesy harlequin spork gag me. They are more so the erotica (without the jasmine st. claire facial bs)... keep us posted on what you read...
i do hope you feel better soon!
I have the first couple of Apocalyptica CDs from when they first came out. I love 'em!

so..it may be a little to "young"
hmmm...yeah.. anyhow.. I still liked it!!!
Ouch! Hope you're healing quickly. Reading suggestions - if you like science fiction, try "The Good Old Stuff" and "The Good New Stuff" edited by Gardner Dozier (sp?) Both are collections of short stories, one being classics stuff from the '50's and '60's, and the other of more recent publications. The library should have them.
