Hello SG Land! Alpha here and actually adding another thorn on the blog's side with another update. Don't know where to put this since I'm just randomizing all my current events all into one shiny package here so I'll just post this underneath life...or something like it....though always good and always moving forward no matter what.



I haven't seen many movies as of late and maybe I'm not all into the movie-going scene anymore. The last movie I saw in theaters was The Lovely Bones which is based off a very amazing novel by Alice Seabold. Now Peter Jackson did an excellent job with the movie and so I give him his props for doing his best. I learned long ago not to constantly compare two different forms of media to each other because they are exactly that being two very different forms of media thus there are different rules, different regulations, different deliveries, and many other differences that need to be recognized that most people don't recognize. I do want to watch The Book of Eli though and will probably take my dad to see that movie on a Sunday or so.



I finally finished reading the above novel which puts me to the level of "caught-up" when it comes to paperback releases by Jeff Lindsay. I will say that the novel above when it comes to the Dexter Universe isn't up to par as the last two novels but it is still good. I also have to say that the television series took kinda a dive down in the third season but the fourth season just blew everything out of the water. I mean my prediction that Dexter will actually have true feelings for one person and that one person being Deborah are coming more and more true. Like he said in the first novel and season one, if Dexter could have feelings for anyone, he would have them for his foster-sister Deborah. Will she accept the Dark Passenger, the Dark Avenger, known as Dexter. Mr. Dearly Devoted Dexter. Mr. Darkly Dreaming Dexter? A Dexter by Design?

I am now up to four books done for this year and it seems I am going to blazing through with them. I am now reading The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen but I got so many books I want to finish. I got to read The Poe Shadow and The Last Dickens by Matthew Pearl, Lucky and The Almost Moon by Alice Seabold, all the works by Sophie Kinsella, and who knows what else since the "Need-To-Read" list keeps growing.



I am such a Showtime whore and I love almost all the shows on that premium channel. Over the weekend, I have finished up watching both season one and two on DVD of Californication. Seeing Mr. Fox Mulder himself David Duchovny play the role he plays was awesome. Not to mention how much pussy he gets in that series for such a fuck-up. If I was who I was back then still, I would easily be Hank Moody. God Hates Us All right? I also took the time to really watch The Tudors which is another awesome series based around King Henry VIII. Jonathan Rhys Meyers does a good job playing the role of the forementioned King. Finally, I watched The United States of Tara which stars Toni Collette who plays a mother named Tara who has DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) formerly known as MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder). It is created by Diablo Cody who is famous for creating the movies Juno and Jennifer's Body. However, I liked her memoir Candy Girl: The Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper more than anything else even though she comes off self-absorbed in that novel. Now I need to finish up The L Word and get into The Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

Faith. Love. Hope. Will.
