I regret to inform the public that I've moved to blucat @ blogspot . I think I've posted about how I was getting increasingly frustrated with diaryland's outdatedness. Of course the fact that I'm sorta techno bimbo with doesnt help cos I like having extra thingies in my blog without having to spend 5-6 hrs figuring out how to get them onto a diaryland blog. So I figured to make things easier, and since I already have an existing blog there, I'll just shift over to blogspot. It helps that flickr posts the pics tt I want to be blogged with ridiculous ease to blogger. So there we go. My sis, took up the whole day, in between tuition and chores to finish the template for me cos I gave up after I tried for 8 hrs straight a few mths back and it didnt work out for nuts.
So.
Change your links and bookmarks guys.
I think I might be more or less permanent there.
Archives are still at diaryland cos I havent figured out a way to get them all to blogger and I havent asked my sis to help me find out also. Soon, soon.

~ 'The Supernaturalist - Eoin Colfer'
Having waited for the next Artemis Fowl book but not gotten it yet, I decided to grab this one since I knew I was going to get it sooner or later. Colfer constantly amazes me with his out of the box storylines using a superb mix of tech-n-lore from start till the end. With endearing characters n hilarious situations, he pulls off another great one. Next up, Opal Deception, Artemis Fowl Bk 4. Can't wait.
~ 'Black Water - D.J. Machale'
I stumbled on the Pendragon series when I was looking for new books to start on. I was thinking what the heck when I saw it. It turned out pretty good and I started reading all 4 of the books in the series they had then. Black Water is the 5th book of Bobby Pendragon as Traveller and this time he's in another territory. The real excitement in this installation of Dj Machale's book is that his two best friends Mark n Courtney, are very much involved in this adventure. As usual, Machale brings off a spectacular ending n adds on to the mystery that is Halla and Saint Dane's evil plots gets more wicked. Next up in May, The Rivers of Zadaa. This is Loor's territory so we see much more of her. Though she's improved much from her first appearance, I would really like to see a deeper dig into her character. Please? Abit of AI: Machale was the producer of that TV series 'Are you afraid of the dark?'
~ 'Rise of a Merchant Prince - Raymond E Feist' and
'Shadow of a Dark Queen'
What can I say, if I deviate from my normal structure of action, it would just end with a little bit of disappointment on my part. I'm talking about my research into the chronological order of series by any particular author. In this case, I didnt finish up the post Magician series and neither did I go through th Riftwar series before going into the Serpentwar series. So now it's 50 years later, almost everyone is gone except Pug n Thomas (and the rest of Elvandar obviously) and of course the mysterious Macross the Black. In this series, Midkemia is being overrun (or going to be since it hasnt reached Krondor yet) by serpents. Panthians if I'm not mistaken. They were of another time and world and sought to cross the rifts to different worlds and dominate all of them because they believe it as their duty to their Creator, one of the Valherus. Interesting no? 1st book does a great job of introducing the main characters, Eric, Roo and their other friends. The 2nd was the surprise for me because for once, when the series is about a war, most of the book was really dedicated to the rise of Roo in business. It left me wondering about their fates in the next 2 books. If I can get my hands on the 3rd book that is, Ive been to SANS, Times, Popular (desperate there) but nothing. Maybe Borders eh? Yes the disappointment was in seeing the absence of the clan of characters from the Magician series and that they might have been present in earlier series :p
design
This design is thanks to Liz of the now closing migraine designs. She's prolly one of the best template designers I've come across. Sadly she's not designing anymore and her stuff are going to be gone by Jul 05. For those interested go to her webbie
here.
Once again, thanks Liz. c o m m e n t s b y
