Top Five Friday: Batman Villains

This is my first Top Five Friday! And I am very excited about doing it! So let's get started:

1. Catwoman


Just think about it, Batman can't hit a girl, not really. That would go against his guy hero code. Also, she's very witty and cunning, and she uses the feline tactics to her use. She's almost like a female Batman (or Batgirl) she has that awesome whip of hers, and her claws. She knows what she's doing, and she's very hard to defeat. Her only flaw is that everyone knows who she is, so if Catwoman acts up, Selena Kyle gets thrown into prison.

2. The Joker



Pretty cliche, I know. But the Joker really is brilliant if you think about it. He's insane, so he doesn't stop at anything to get rid of the caped crusader. And he's also funny at times, which keeps everyone amused. No one knows who he used to be, so he has that to his advantage.

3. Mr. Freeze



His powers are awesome, with his awesome freeze gun, and his scientific past, he almost can defeat Batman. He also has something to keep going for, his wife Nora. His only fault is that without his suit, he'd die.

4. Poison Ivy



Pamela Isley's obsession with plants is what turned her insane. But her smarts with plant poisons, and creating amazing things with them, and also her immunity to poison air and gases, help her fight Batman. Her feminine charms also help her out in certain cases. One of her faults is the how obsessed she is with plants, and their well being, it's always her downfall in the end.

5. Killer Croc



Having the strength for a lot of crocs, and really sharp teeth, and great animal instincts, oh, and having the ability to breathe under water, this guy almost always has Batman in the bag. What's Cliche about him is the fact is that all he has going for him is his brute strength, no mind in there, just trying to kill things.


What are your Top Five Friday's? Who's your favorite villain?

New Game!

Today, I learned that in the eshop on the 3DS, Legend of Zelda: Four Swords is FREE!

I was very excited, and I bought it, and I downloaded it, and I started playing it. It's a different format then the other Zelda games I've played, the graphics are more like cartoon, then real looking people. But I'm really enjoying the challenge!


Tomorrow, I'm doing my first Top Five Friday (which I saw on a friend's blog!) and a recap post, since it's the end of the month! :)

I hope everyone had a great Thursday! I just helped my grandparents clean our their basement. They paid us so we can get memberships on an online game called Wizard101. (which we had before, but something happened) so really excited for that.

F(x) more than just a math symbol?

Today, I learned about functions, and finding the slope. We used the equation: f(x) = mx+b, and I was listening to kpop this evening, and I noticed something very interesting:

One of my favorite kpop group's name is F(x)


This will math not be so terrible in the days that follow. (more function on the way!) So now when I'm doing my math, I can listen to them, and I won't feel so sad about math. (which I usually love, but slopes get me every time!)


What I find interesting about this, is that they named their group after a math equation. I wonder if they think us Americans do to be funny. Anyway, have a happy Tuesday! Planning on watching some Batman cartoons before bed. (shhh! Don't tell the Avengers!)

-Louisa

NAME CHANGE

I changed my name to Lousia Kyle. Which may or may not be a character in something. M.L is gone, Louisa Kyle is here! (it was awkward writing M.L to sign stuff, so...)

"Let it go" Writer Verison

Hello there! It's Monday, as you all know. And I found this awesome something that an author I follow posted: It's to the tune of "Let it Go" from FROZEN. She wrote it herself (NOT ME), so behold:



A Writer Let's It Go
The screen glows white in my room tonight
Not a word to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the Queen


My editor is howling like this swirling storm outside
Can’t keep my deadline, heaven knows I tried

Don’t let the pacing slip, don’t let the reader see
Make this character loveable as can be
Conceal the motive, don’t cheat the ending, can’t let them know
Can’t let them know!

Let it go, let it go
Can’t keep this plot line no more
Let it go, let it go
Shove that character out the door

I don’t care
What the reviews will say
Let the fear come in
The synopsis never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance
Makes that plot line seem so weak
And the scene I thought was important
Doesn’t speak to me at all

It’s time to see what this edit can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the words and rhyme
Let it go, let it go
I’m going to make this deadline

Here I sit
And here I stay
Let the words rage on

My soul pours out from my keyboard to the screen
My dreams are flying past me in a steady stream
And one thought catches me like an icy blast
I’m never going back
The past is in the past

Let it go, let it go
I will face these edits head on
Let it go, let it go
Until every flaw is gone!

Here I sit
Until the light of day
Let the words rage on

The synopsis never bothered me anyway.

Book Review: The Madman's Daughter by Megan Sheperd

In the darkest places, even love is deadly.

Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London—working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father's gruesome experiments. But when she learns he is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are true.

Accompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward—both of whom she is deeply drawn to—Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the depths of her father's madness: He has experimented on animals so that they resemble, speak, and behave as humans. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island's inhabitants. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her jungle prison before it's too late. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father's genius—and madness—in her own blood.

Inspired by H. G. Wells's classic The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Madman's Daughter is a dark and breathless Gothic thriller about the secrets we'll do anything to know and the truths we'll go to any lengths to protect.


Genre: YA, romance/scary stuff

Cover Love: so old fashioned! Love it!

Overview:

This book was ok. At first, I really enjoyed it. I love historical fiction, it's one of my favorites. All the dresses, and customs are the best. And this book was a little scary at times, which I enjoyed. I don't read a lot of horror (or like ever) and this book wasn't really horror per say, but it was scary at times. And Juliet was a great MC, she totally embraced who she was, and that she may too, be a little mad. And I loved Montgomery at times, and I liked Edward at other times. I went back and forth on which one I wanted Juliet to be with. The romance wasn't thick, which was very nice. I'm narrowing down my romance books just a tad, so I liked this a lot.

Romance:

Very little. Juliet does have one odd dream, which she doesn't have any clothes on, but that's all she says. After the dream, she almost kisses both gentlemen, and she does end up kissing one of them, a great deal at one time though, which I frowned upon, but it was just quick, and then it was over. Juliet spends most of the book thinking to herself which one she wants to love, Edward or Montgomery, and it got annoying at some parts, when I just wanted to solve the mystery in this novel. But all together: very little romance.

Language:

No swearing until the very end of the novel, when all the characters got scared and angry, so it wasn't all through the book and I could understand why they all started swearing towards the end.

Violence:

As said in the summary, someone is killing villagers on the island, and there's mention of blood, cuts, guts, and her father isn't very sane, so he's always working on animals, and they're in pain. A rabbit loses it's head, and people are getting shot at times. There's a lot of mention of blood, but not so much that I wanted to be sick. So it wasn't over done. And it was a scary book! You needed just a bit of blood at times.

Religion:

Juliet's father is very against religion. He hates it, any kind. He makes commandments for all his villagers, which is odd, he hates religion, but he makes himself a god to all the villagers. I don't get this one bit, but he's mad, so I guess it's not supposed to.


This book wasn't bad! I'm excited for book two, coming out next month. And the cliff hanger is so sad. *sobs*

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars!

Sort of a snow day

Yesterday, the snow came. And at first everyone was like:


And things started to get cancelled, and then we were all walking around like:



So this morning, we didn't go to church, since we live in a really hilly neighborhood, and we might have crashed on the way there. So I got a chance to sleep in again.  And I usually have driving school on Sundays, as you know. So I was just playing my video game, waiting for the call that it was cancelled for the day. The snow was really coming down, and getting out of our neighborhood would be dangerous, so when it reached a level 2 and the school called, we were all like:


And then choir got cancelled, and I declared it a snow day! I want to thank Elsa for making it winter around here, thanks!

Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

I just finished this amazingly awesome game. Now, I always love LOZ games, they're my favorite. And I've played five of them now. (one of them I beat in 11 days) so after a bit of playing them, you get the drill of how things work. Dungeon, after dungeon, after dungeon...until you may want to cry, or throw your gaming system across the room. (it's always like this) But as you play them more often, you're able to beat them easier without all the crying and throwing.


Another thing I really love about LOZ games is the music. It's so amazing, and I love to listen to it. It's soothing, (it becomes really annoying after an hour of the same music over and over again if you're stuck, though) I also love how things seem to be the same throughout all the games, Link is always the same, sometimes he's in different shapes and forms, but always, he's always brave, and...sleepy.


And he's always wearing that awesome green outfit. There's another character that is always in every LOZ game: Zelda herself.


REMEMBER: Zelda is not the boy, Zelda is the girl. LINK IS NOT ZELDA. (amazingly people get this confused) I think they get confused because it says the Legend of Zelda, and you're playing with Link the whole time. You just have to rescue her almost every game. One of these days, I want to play as Zelda, that would be fun.

Things that are always the same are the dungeons. They may have new names for them, but there's ALWAYS these dungeons:

Normal One, Ice One, Heat One, Water One, Earth One. I could go on forever, but they're always the same, just new puzzles to solve. I LOVE solving puzzles without a walk through (which I stopped using after two dungeons) it makes you feel smart, and like you did the whole thing by yourself. And it's surprisingly easy after you've played four games before this.

Ok, enough about the whole Legend, let's talk about  A LINK BETWEEN WORLDS:

Plot:

Link has to save Hyrule yet again. Looks like some strange character named Yuga is turning people descended from the Seven Sages into paintings! And oh, looks like some strange rabbit character is starting to sell items at your home. Hm...oh well, he could help us out. Now we must go find the pendents of virtue. Got those! Now to go track down the Seven Sages, oh look, the bracelet thing let's us travel through walls. Very handy.

This is Ravio, the rabbit character mentioned above:


And this is the princess of the other world, Lorule, Hilda.


And here's Yuga:


Here's the Seven Sages:


Oh, and here's a friendly octopus named Mama Maiamai. Link can go and rescue her babies on his quest:



...

It was a really fun game, and I enjoyed it a lot! I can't wait for the next Legend of Zelda game!!

Thursdays

Let's talk about Thursdays. What are Thursday's exactly? 
                                                "It's the fourth day in the school week!" 
"It's the day after Wednesday!" 
"It's just another day in the horribly long week." 
 What is really is...

 "Is the day before Friday."

Just think about it, Friday is so close, but we have to go through this day called Thursday first. Usually, when I wake up on Thursday morning, I just groan because I have to get through Thursday before I can get to Friday, by Thursday, I'm just exhausted from the week, and I just want to sleep and relax.

A lot of people call November the Thursday of the year. And are they right. It's the month before December, the month with Christmas and New Years Eve. (personally, I like Thanksgiving the best, all the foooood.)

As is Thursday the day before Friday, the day before SLEEP.

So...if there had to be a most hated day beside Monday, it would be Thursday. That's my logic. It's that day before your freedom, before the WEEKEND. 

I also discovered, since school started on Tuesday this week, that I didn't hate Tuesday as much, considering it was the day before Hump Day, and then the week was almost half way over. 

So...my thinking on this is: just get rid of Thursday and Tuesday, and we would all be very happy people.

Review: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

In Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life—and she’s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving.

Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.

Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.
Now that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone.

For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?
 
New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book of 2013


Genre: Older YA, contemporary. 

Cover Love: Love it! It's like a mini comic.

Overview:

First I want to say how amazing the author's name was. Rainbow. Dude, I don't know if it's a pen name or what, but it's awesome. I approve. Ok, onto the bookish stuff: I REALLY liked this book. A lot of books I've read where the characters are in college basically go like this: "Nervous, idk what I'm do to, oh my gosh cute boy, let's not date because he's a mean person, oh let's date now, etc" I hated those books a lot. Fangirl was nothing like those books, this girl was a normal person, her own faults and her own fears. Barely any romance until the very last chapters. It seemed like a possible college story in real life. It seemed real. I think Cath could be me if I was in college, (not exactly, but close) she was a great character, and she took on the world like a normal person should. She wasn't perfect, and all her friends were great people, and her boyfriend as you got further into the story is a great guy. Perfection.

Romance:

Like I said above, not a lot of romance. BUT, Cath does right fanfiction about two boys falling in love, but it's never anything bad. The romance with Cath is just some kissing, and they flirt a lot. Not the kind of flirting I approve of, and some things I really didn't like, they used some terms and things in there. But then again, this book was about college, and making choices in your life, so it wasn't like they totally threw stuff in there for no reason. But it was never in your face either, you can always see when something's coming up and you can skip right over it, even though the author never writes anything over the top. Overall, the romance was sweet. (can't say I approve of everything though)

Language:

Typical stuff. Words you shouldn't say. The end.

Violence:

Not really, aside from Cath's sister getting drunk from time to time (which Cath and their father thinks is really bad, which I gave an A+ to). there wasn't any violence.

Religion:

Cath many times thinks to herself if she has an abstinence pledge, and things like that, which might seem a little like religion. (Abstinence pledge FTW) and God is mentioned once in the context of religion, but there didn't seem to be any real religion in there. 


I also want to say that there's a scene when her boyfriend is trying to carry something for her, and she's convinced that he's insulting her because she's a girl and she can't carry things, but he makes a valid point that he just wants to be nice and carry things for her. WIN.

Rating: 4.8 out of 5!

Driving School Day #3 + Other

Today was the halfway point of driving school for me. We had a new teacher, he's very nice, and funny, but not as animated as the other teacher, so class seemed a little bit longer, but I felt like I actually learned something this week.

I ended up sitting at the very back in the last row in the last chair, by a girl who was new, who texted through most of the class, but she took lots of notes when I didn't, so I can't say I'm judging her. I spent most of class trying to eat an apple quietly and not chew my gum so loud. (#FirstWorldProblems)

I didn't write on the white board with the wrong marker again, we didn't use the boards at all, he only talked to a few of the students and asked them questions, so I didn't answer very many, but when I did answer one, I was wrong and I hate it when that happens. lol

Oh, and my fish Lightning died. *sigh* didn't even have her for a week. I think if I get another one (which is a little doubtful at this point) I'm going to name it Hope, after ANOTHER video game character.

Hope

Speaking of my game, I finally beat that really hard boss, and I got really far and now there's another hard boss that has a really long life bar, and I get really far (almost fifteen min.) and he starts attacking in a new way and then Hope dies, and then Lightning can't go on by herself, and ARGH. #GamerProbs

I hope everyone had a great Sunday! Tomorrow I have off! Yipeeee.

Sherlock Outfit

So yesterday, I watched episode one of season 3 of Sherlock. (OH MY GOSH)


ALL THE FEELS I CAN'T EVEN RIGHT NOW. #SHERLOCKLIVES (I know I'm a little late to it, but I hadn't had the time until yesterday to watch any of it)

Annyyywaaaayyyy...

I found this coat that I didn't want until I saw it, and then I bought myself a scarf today, and it sort of looks like Sherlock's outfit. I just need a deerstalker. (and I will get one, you just wait.) you should watch Lune's video on a deerstalker.

Here's the picture of my beloved "Sherlock outfit":


It looks better on someone, the scarf refused to look the right way on the hanger. Anyway, I'm proud of it, and I've been wearing it around everywhere, and I've been getting comments on my hair as well, people just see something new and odd and just stare.

Have a happy Saturday!! :D

A Squid, and Eleven Study Islands

Here's a picture of a cute squid just because:


IT'S SO CUTE I'M GONNA DIE! *Eleventh flail* I WANT ONE.

Oh, and I did eleven Study Island's today. For those who don't know what those are, it's a ten question quiz you take in almost every subject, and they're really hard and boring, and I had to do eleven of them for some extra credit. But it was still painful...

Doctor Who: Clara "Oswin" Oswald

Today, I presented in the Doctor Who Club in my school. I made five slides, one about me, and the other four about Clara. Who is a companion of The Doctor's. (the Eleventh). She's one of my favorite companions, aside from Donna Noble, who is equally awesome.

Aren't her outfits awesome? I love them!


Clara was first shown in the episode in Season 7a in the Dalek Asylum, she helped defeat the Daleks, and she erased the Doctor from everywhere. She then appears in the Christmas Special is 2012, and helps him again. In both cases, she dies.


After the Christmas special, the Doctor goes and seeks her out, living with monks for awhile, and then travelling to Clara's time. Regretfully, she doesn't know who he is.

*sad face*

But they go on awesome adventures, and they eventually figure out who the heck This Impossible Girl is, but I won't spoil you on it. But Clara is awesome, and I hope she stays for a long while!

Happy Friday to you all awesome people!

Lightning isn't doing too well. Pray for my poor fishy.

Stripes, oh my!

Yesterday, I got my hair coon tailed.

No, no. Like this:



It took almost three hours (plus trimming it) and I should have taken pictures as the lovely lady did my hair, but I forgot to. She put paper things under the hair we were striping, and then she just pained them on. The dye was yellow at first, but once it touched your hair, it turned the right color. I almost freaked out when I saw that it was yellow because I DID NOT want yellow. lol She had the hair I didn't have striped all pinned up and I looked pretty weird.

Also, the awesome lady who did my hair is an author too, and we talked and talked about book stuff and all sorts of things, it was awesome.

Why did I do this, you ask? I saw someone on a book chat called #TeaTime, with stripes and I reallllly wanted it.

So there, I did it. My hair smells really nice, as just cut and shampooed hair does. haha

Happy Wednesday!

P.S: Lightning, my betta fish is STILL ALIVE!

Monday, January 13, 2014

Ok...trying this again...

Say hello to, Lightning. My new (and hopefully only for a lonnnng time) fish. She's a Betta, and doesn't seem to need anything but water and food.


I named her Lightning after a video game character from Final Fantasy XIII. (which I haven't been able to continue on because I'm stuck at a hard part and keep dying)


Lightning
The pet store guy said that my fish kept dying because there wasn't enough room in it, or there wasn't a heater, he said a betta would probably live, so I went with it. If this doesn't work, I'm suing someone. lol

-M.L

American Authors

Happy Monday! I have not school, because it's final's week, and I'm exempted from so many I don't have this week. lol Aside from my French and History. (which was last week)

So I'm spending today doing whatever I want. (all that is legal, that is) I'm going to go to the pet store and try to figure out what the heck is wrong with my fish tank, and while all my fish keep dying. I also recorded myself playing "A Holly Jolly Christmas", for my music exam, which is tomorrow. (but that's all I had to do. Score.)

Enough of that school junk, this post is about AMERICAN AUTHORS:


There songs sound a lot like FUN and Imagine Dragons. I can't say I approve of the "Best Day of My Life" music video, but I love the dog version they made:



You can check out the rest of the their songs on Spotify!




One song has one bad word, and they only say it twice. (it's in Hit It) It would have been better if there were NO swear words, but I guess you can't have everything.

What caught my eye about this bad was their name, AMERICAN AUTHORS. I approve of this name. Bruce doesn't like this music, but I'm listening to it anyway. He says he can't focus on his science-y stuff with it. Well TOO BAD.

Driving School Day #2 + Fish Stuff

Hello there people of the world! (or the US, whatever)

I have just come from my second Sunday of driving school. Went faster than the first one, and the teacher is awesome, so that helped.

He told a story today about an accident he was called in for (he's a retired cop) and it was a very sad story about a bunch of girls and a guy in the car, and the driver freaked out because of an deer and crashed, but the way he tells things makes me and my friend laugh. Which is horrible, I know. But I'm a very happy person, I like to laugh, so when everyone else was looking horrified at the story, my friend and I were laughing our heads off.

Also, everyone had to draw the dashboard of their car they're taking their driver's test in, and another person and me volunteered to draw ours up on the whiteboard. It was kind of nerve racking, but then it got worse because I didn't use a dry erase marker.

It was a permanent marker.


Sigh, I know. It was horrible. But the teacher was really patient and just spent 20 minutes trying to find something to wipe it off. And he always says he wins, and he did. He got it off eventually.

So I say driving class day two was a success. Everyone is so quiet though, but people are getting braver, there's some know it all's in the front row. *cough* oops, sorry. *whispers* but it's true!!

Now to fish stuff:

As you know, I got a new fish named Oreo. Well, he's dead now...he barely lasted four days. SIGH. And my other fish, Symbiote, died as well. BUT, my fish decided to elope, and there were baby fish in my tank as of last night. Now they're dead, but....I'll be ok. We're going to go to the pet store, with the tank and try to figure out why my fish all keep dying. I give them food, good water, and bubbles, and yet, they still die.

SIGH.

I hope your Sunday was an eventful as mine! *eats McDonald's*

Book Review: The Brokenhearted by Amelia Kahney

A teenage girl is transformed into a reluctant superhero and must balance her old life with the dark secret of who she has become.

Prima ballerina Anthem Fleet is closely guarded by her parents in their penthouse apartment. But when she meets the handsome Gavin at a party on the wrong side of town, she is immediately drawn into his dangerous world. Then, in a tragic accident, Anthem falls to her death. She awakes in an underground lab, with a bionic heart ticking in her chest. As she navigates her new life, she uncovers the sinister truth behind those she trusted the most, and the chilling secret of her family lineage…and her duty to uphold it.

The Dark Knight meets Cinder in this gripping and cinematic story of heartbreak and revenge. From Alloy Entertainment, this inventive new superhero story is sure to captivate any reader.



Genre: YA, romance, dystopian

Cover love: AHHHH OFF THE SCALE RIGHT NOW.

Overall:

I loved this book a lot. I don't often get excited about books like this, and this book made me excited, and I looked forward to getting a chance to read. Anthem was a great MC, she showed what it was like to be a human teenage girl in hard times. She appeared weak at times, strong at others, and then a mix of the two. But she was someone who would want to be friends with. She made mistakes, sure, but that's all about being human. The writing was a kind of writing I used to hate, the "I stammer" "I say". But now it's my favorite tense to write in, so I'm in love it now. Bedlam was a lot like a Gotham (BATMAN), so I approved strongly of this. And Anthem is a ballerina, WIN WIN for her. There were little things that didn't need to be in there, but towards the end, it really pulled on your heart strings. All in all I REALLY enjoyed this book.


Romance:

In the beginning, Anthem "falls in love" with a boy named Gavin, they've known each other for a week, and then they decide to do married people things. Which I frown upon a lot, especially since they weren't married. But the author doesn't write it, so if you don't know anything about it, you don't know it happened. Simple. There's a little bit of kissing, but not a lot.


Language:

I have read so many books with swear words, that I often just not even see a bad word when one comes up. If there were any in this book, I didn't see. I got so sucked up in the plot I didn't notice anything. Which I was thankful.


Violence:

Just like Gotham in Batman, the city is pretty run down, there are bars, and drugs being passed around. People are getting robbed and murdered, so that presence is in it, and a lot of people are bleeding often, but nothing that a normal person can't handle, the author is very simple in how she writes, and I liked that. And Anthem, being kind of a superhero now, her ballet really comes in handy with fighting the bad guys, so it's really cool to learn how I could use some of my ballet to kick someone's butt. lol

Religion:

None.

This book also shows how there are two different types of guys: the awesome ones, and the crappy ones. I really approved of this, since I wrote all about feminism just a few days ago. The author gave an overall look of everything, and I liked that.

Rating: 5 out of 5!
