Random post day

I had a lot of random things to post, because I had things I wanted to tell you, but they didn't fit into the theme of any of my other post. So I'm posting a special post just for that collection.

So how's my life?
I avoid posting about my personal life on here, because that's not really what I want my blog to be about. But...hello! I'm feeling especially cheery today. Why, you ask?


Okay, so today I got up and walked downstairs to turn on my computer, because I live on the internet. 

My dad surprised me with a new monitor! 
You see, I've been begging for a new monitor for quite some time now.  This one was a super big, nice, one, that could eat my former monitor for breakfast. 
But wait! There's more!
He installed something I really wanted on my computer, this thing which lets you split your screen between two monitors! Your mouse can move in between them, and work in two windows at once. 

Guess which one is the new one. 
Well actually from this angle, they both look like the could be about the same size, but the one on the right is much bigger in real life.
You can see where the window is split between the two monitors. Cool! I'm still happy about it(tip: if you know someone who lives online, then give her something new to plug into her computer for Christmas.)

Actually, the prime reason I wanted a bigger(not necessarily split-screen) monitor was so I could display this:

This is one of the widest backgrounds I had ever seen, and it definitely wouldn't fit on my small monitor, at least not in its full glory. It works great on this one, though.

Next up: I found the perfect rock song to describe my book. 





This is an AMV for the song. I didn't really watch the video, just listened to the music.

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhelmed by our sins,      you forgive them a

Ciel Phantomhive vs. Artemis Fowl

  Don't laugh. XD The similarities between the two characters are so distinct and obvious that comparison is inevitable for anyone who's read/watched both series. I seriously thought when I first noticed Black Butler(more popularly referred to as Kuroshitsuji) that it was literally an anime adaption of Artemis Fowl.  Other people have read Artemis Fowl and thought "CIEL HAS A CLONE??!?" So I thought I'd outline some of the differences and analyze who would win. XD Similarities: Appearance:  This is the first similarity, and one of the most major, because if they didn't look so darn alike I don't think the comparison would have been as striking. The above picture of Artemis is a fanart, because there aren't really any good pictures of Artemis, and the manga style makes it more obvious. They are both from the British Isles and have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them lose/change/switch an eye resulting in two different colors. 

I need book recommendations!

    I heard this movie stunk. C'mon, I'm dying over here! In other, unrelated news, want to hear one of the most overrated book series I've ever read is? Alex Rider. I picked up Stormbreaker after legions of people going "READ ITZ AMARANTHINE TIS AMAZING". It was alright....I guess. I didn't...fall asleep or anything. But it was definitely not mind blowing. For starters, Alex is way underdeveloped as a character. He was a little funny and relate able but not on the same level as I was expecting. And he's a bit cliched in the fact that he's just generally smart and knows everything, without any explanation or emphasis. I guess you could say that he's only a genius when he needs to be, and it doesn't add any other levels to the story. Oh, and did I mention that he's well versed in martial arts too? Yeah. Ender could still kick his butt though. I guess it would be a good read for boys who don't read much. Definitely not YA lev
