Arrietty Trailer-{JUNE 2011}

                       

I was taking this rare time to visit blogs and I came upon ABackwardStory's site  mentioning about "The Secret World of Arriety"  which will be released in English on February 17, 2012. A Ghibli studio movie offering that previously gave us "Sprited Away" and "Howl's Moving Castle". So add "The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey" and "The Hobbit: There and Back Again"  in there, yeah pretty TBW list growing too. lolz.

Enjoy the trailer. I can't wait for it too! '☺

TBR Thursday (8) The Square Root of Murders

To be Read Thursday meme is hosted by Drea which was inspired by Waiting on Wednesday by Breaking the Spine

TBR Thursday highlights all those book that are already about (whether you own them or not) that you're dying to ready but haven't had the chance yet. This can some old books, some new books, and some that are in between but they have to be books that you want/hope to read and review!



The title was catchy that it reminded me of my laborious efforts to get a passing grade in radicals, square roots divisions etc back in high school. Efforts that turned me white as sheet from pushing my brain cells to the limits. lolz  One should really try loving numerals. 


I found this book from Petra at HazelTheWitch. Thanks! 


From Goodreads:


Dr. Sophie Knowles teaches math at Henley College in Massachusetts, but when a colleague turns up dead, it's up to her to find the killer before someone else gets subtracted.

A Ripple in Time - Angel of the Titanic (Celtic Cousins' Adventure) By Juliet Hughes

by Juliet Hughes 
I was visiting The Caffeinated Book Review by Kimba and one of her previous reviews caught my attention. A Ripple in Time - definitely a time-traveling tale and I'm drawn to those kinds of stories plus there was mention of Exalibur, Stonehenge  - yeah, pretty much caught me there already. haha

After reading her review, I  went searching more about the book and stumbled upon Hey! Tara's site where she was giving away two ebooks! Too bad the contest was over. I missed by two days. lolz. Hopefully, I can borrow someone's copy. '☺



Captain Power DVD

The soon to be released dvd boxset

So two weeks ago, a member of captainpower yahoo group  posted this pix of the DVD due on December 6. I  hardly think  the boxset will reach these shores and on the shelves here though. According to another post found from the Captain Power Facebook announcements that it will contain 6 hours bonus features. *cross fingers*

I've seen some behind the photos posted on their Facebook,  3 of  6 (original members) invited for the DVD commentaries.  It was great to see them together. I hope the rest of the cast will get a chance to visit   the designated CP offices and there will be a group picture!

Reboot question: For me, it's okay and with the level of technology now, the production can go a little more. I'm hoping to see the original cast members come in as recurring character role players. They could be rebel cell leaders, Passages leaders or some other underground facility members, helping out the Power team. The newer version of Power team  (my dream cast) will have their own stories to tell or they could reference one or two stories from the '80s show. 

Well, that's my two cents. '☺

Troubled Heart
by Raine (passagesofthepen)

Your smile belied the pains 
Your laughter hid the cries 
Your cheer mocked the abyss
Of a troubled heart

Another day came 
There was no change
You pray for peace
For your troubled heart
