New Twilight Book!?

It's true!!...sort of...What Stephanie Meyer has decided to do is write a short story, if you will, about Bree.  Remember her?  She was the newborn vampire they eventually killed at the end of Eclipse.  You should go check out her official site for the whole details here.  Now I know what you're thinking, "But I don't WANT her to write that, I want her to write Midnight Sun/continue the series/someone else's perspective". And I completely understand, BUT!  Think about what this means!  Stephanie Meyer has hinted since the release of Breaking Dawn that she would like to write AT LEAST 3 more books: Midnight Sun, a book in Leah's perspective, and a continuation of the series in Renesmee's perspective.  Why has she not done that then?  Because, after Midnight was leaked on the internet, she no longer felt like writing, and felt that she needed to take a break from vampires and just spend time with her family.  With this book coming out in June, maybe the break is finally over.  I'm so excited to think that we may finally get some more Twilight books, even if they aren't in the original Twilight Saga.

Oh yes, and guess how much the book will be?  20?  15?  Nope.  Free.  WOOOOO!!  The book will be release online for FREE, starting June 7 and ending July 5.  With any luck, she'll make it stay at least till the end of July so that I can get my hands on it after I get back from the missions trip.  If not, then thankfully, she also has a hard copy of the book that you can buy in stores, with a dollar of the proceeds going towards relief effort in Haiti and Chile.

Things to wear, because sometimes you have to leave the house

I love the days where I can just lay around all day in my pajamas and loaf around without so much as a shower.  Unfortunately, those days are limited, and for some reason, people in the real world expect me to wear actual clothes.  So when I happened upon the epicness that is splitreason.com, I was thrilled.  I love gaming shirts, but it's rare that I actually find a decent site, that doesn't look like a 5 year old designed it and a freshman coded it.  And while I'm aware that there are some good ones out there, all too often it feels like I'm sifting through a pile of dog crap looking for the ring that it ate.  Now, I'm completely aware that this site probably isn't new, and that a lot of people already know about it, but it's still refreshing stumbling upon it, and seeing all of the awesome new shirts.

The new DS?

Well, it's been over a week since my last post, and currently I'm working on a schedule that will (hopefully) go into effect soon, so I can start posting a little more regularly.  What's been taking up all my time is of course this genius right here.  I'm thinking about doing a full on review about the game, but you never know.  Originally I was going to do some story-esque posts based on my in-game adventures, but to be honest, it was way too much to put down for any period of time long enough to write.  Maybe once I get my hands on Soul Silver I'll write about that.

Moving on, Nintendo has officially released that there will in fact be a new DS.  Now, it wasn't too long ago that these awesome looking pictures surfaced featuring a larger DSi that came in dark brown and dark red.  Let there be no mistake, the new DS is not a version of these, but in fact it's own new console.

So what is this new DS's name?  The Nintendo 3DS.  Why? Because it has 3 screens that read brain waves.  Because the new DS screens will be in 3D, but without those awful glasses that never fit anyone.  I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this.  On the one hand, it will be absolutely insanely awesome to play a hand held console in 3D.  On the other hand, Nintendo has tried to do this before in order to boost up sales, and failed.  Hard.  But if there's anything we can learn from Nintendo, it's that for every terrible thing they create, something good usually comes right after it, so I'll be patient; either way something awesome is being made with Nintendo, we just have to wait see if it's the 3DS, or if this is just a precursor to something better to come.  At E3 in June, Nintendo will be giving out more information, so we'll just have to wait until then.

As I'm currently finishing this up, I'm now becoming giddy with the thought of all the games that I might be getting to play in 3D.  Zelda, Pokemon, Mario...and those are just the staples!  I'm not gonna lie, a 3D Pokemon game would probably one of the greatest games of all time.  Of. All. Time.  Now they just need to make a 3D computer Mac so that I can play WoW in all it's glory...  /faint

Fuzzies

A while back, the Blizzard Store introduced these two absolutely ADORABLE plushies of a baby gryphon and baby wind rider.  As if that weren't good enough, they also come with an in-game pet version.  Being a pet collector myself, I was thrilled, and searched all over the interwebs to find a picture of the in-game version, but to no avail.  However!!  Going back to possibly purchase one, they now have the moving pictures of what the pets will look like in the game, and oh my are they gorgeous, though in my opinion the wind rider is far cuter.

YouTube - Warcraft Themed Restaurant in China

WHY DO I NOT LIVE IN CHINA?!?! I mean honestly, I think I can get over there "slight" communist style of running things, because, lets be honest, it's a WoW RESTAURANT!! More importantly, why do we not have anything like this in America? There are over 11 million WoW subscribers, are you telling me that that restaurant wouldn't make a profit? Lies!! If I don't see one of these by 5 years, then my life has come to nothing.

Scrabble Tiles = Epic Win

Being a uniquely-creative person (aka hoarder) I love to see when people use the crap that's sitting in the back of my junk drawers to make something that is so completely awesome that it makes my heart cry with joy.  Case in point, these Scrabble Tile Necklace's on Etsy.  They are absolutely gorgeous, not to mention quite funny, definitely something I am going to have to go buy.
