Trying to make some dough
Nov. 3rd, 2009 | 09:39 am
So, I have moved with my girlfriend and none of us have a proper job as of yet. My savings are being eaten away (so they are being used according to plan) and it is really hard to get a job here. So I have been trying to find legit things online to earn a bit extra. Nothing more than small change, but everything helps.
That was when I found out about these sites where you earn money by clicking some links every day. I started researching some, and found a site which tests these things to see if they are scams or not. I have found a couple that are legit, and who actually pay out very well. The best part is that they are totally free.
But like everything, it helps to have friends. I can only earn about ten cents in two days with this site right now, and that isn't going to help much. It's not that bad for a few minutes of having an extra tab open in Firefox though. But if I have referrals, then I earn money when they earn money.
Yeah, this sounds like one of those scammy pyramid-schemes right? I thought so too... but it's free, so it's not like you can lose anything. And people are paid, so they aren't conning people either. So I am trying it out at least.
I spent some time finding a site that accepted the use of PayPal, and one that I could get referrals from the get-go (I started this yesterday after a couple of hours of research). And it seems very good. I hope some of you who read this might want to try it out, so that I can earn more money. I don't hide the fact that all I want by this is to earn money. But you will earn money as well, and all you do is to click a link, leave it open till it says it has been paid, then open a new one. You don't even have to watch the site. I just click, click on the "anti-cheating-system" (they have a site before the ad where you have to click a box, so that you cannot cheat by using programs or somesuch) then keep on doing whatever I did before on Facebook or some forum. After about 30 seconds, I close it, and do the same with the next link.
I only have four links so far on that site, and that equals to four cents. With a few referrals, I would earn more than that from them, while they earn the same for themselves. And more if they have referrals of course.
So, want to earn some money? Just click this link:
http://www.astrobux.com/register.php?ref=d
If you have any questions, just ask me. I normally don't do this, and I hate asking other people to join things like this, but I really need money. And it's not like you get a lot of spam or anything from them. This is a perfectly legit site, which doesn't cost you a thing. You can only make money on this.
I have a few other sites which I use, to earn more. But one isn't that good (very messy website) and one I have to wait 30 days before I can get referrals. Which suck.
EDIT: This is the messy page by the way:
http://www.myfreeshares.com/index.php?re
I guess it's ok when you know what to look for. But I think they should have made it a lot better. But a lot of people seem to make money on that as well, so I just throw the link out here if you want to check it out.

..either no one reads my entries, or no one cared to comment... I don't really care tough :P
Well, nothing special happening today... so I though I should post the intro video for one of the best games ever. If you like this, check out the intro of Fallout 2 as well.

The end of Playstation?
Sep. 12th, 2006 | 10:54 am
Where I am: Gol
My mood: 
Calm and happy
What I am listening to: Dream Theater!
I just have to make this post. I doubt anyone cares though... But here we go!
So, the PS3 will soon be released. It's competition, Nintendo Wii, will launch soon as well. It's other competition, the Xbox 360, has already made a steady market for itself. So let me talk a bit about the competition before I go on to Sony.
Xbox 360
This is a good machine. It is capable of great graphics, and everything else next-gen games need when it comes to the visual. It has a good design, and if you buy the "good" package, you get a HD, wireless controller etc. It's a good buy. They have however had a bit of starting problems.
Myself had to send in mine for repairs, and countless of others have done the same thing. But since this doesn't cost you a thing, and everything works fine afterwards, it's a minor fault I would say.
Reasons to buy this machine is numerous. You have all the great games, no matter what you like. Dead Rising, Oblivion, Final Fantasy (insert roman numerals here), future GTA titles, driving games, sports games etc. I would dare to say that no matter what you like, you will find it here. And there is a chance that the games you really like here, is Xbox 360 Exclusive.
Xbox Live is another good reason to buy an Xbox 360. Live have to be experienced to see how good it is. And it should be a blueprint for all the other consoles.
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo. That means "great console with great games" as far as I'm concerned. With all the classical titles, Zelda, Mario etc, and the innovative controller, this is a must for everyone. The graphics on the Wii will not be as good as Xbox 360 or PS3, but that is because they focus more on making good games. That is a good thing.
So. Why buy a PS3 then? Let's see what they have: Blu-ray technology. Great graphics. And good games.
Well, the blu-ray has been said to be, what was the word... totally not needed. Or something like that. Most of the experts claim that it's stupid to use it. Might be they are wrong, and let's hope they are for Sonys sake.
The graphics, ok. They are good. But a game isn't good just because of the graphics. The graphics is one of the least important aspects of a game really. And while some people say that PS3 will blow Xbox 360 away, the screens I have seen tell me that PS3 are only slightly ahead on the graphics.
The games... well, let me list the games Playstation has, which makes it so that you have to have one. Devil May Cry, GTA, Katamary Damacy, Final Fantasy, and some racing games and stuff...
I haven't played DMC or KD, but I think those games look cool... every other game that used to be PS Only, can now be found on the computer, or soon on Xbox 360. The only reason to buy a PS, have in my book been the games you could only get there. Now, that reason is gone.
So what is left then? A good brand. A good product. But it seems that is not the case either. Sony has pushed back the launch here in Europe, to March next year. Why? They have also said that instead of the couple of millions of machines they would ship at launch, they will only ship 500.000. 100.000 for Japan, and the rest for the US. Why is this? Some says it's because they have lost confidence in their own product, thinking that they cannot compete with NWii and Xbox 360. I certainly think that is something they have to fear now. Just look at the price as well. The Xbox 360 is 400$, and will most likely drop in price before Christmas. The Wii is said to cost about 250$. The PS3 will cost 599$... and up, apparently.
I think people who are interested in gaming, either owns an Xbox 360, or will buy one. And those with a bit more money will buy a Wii as well. Those who will buy the PS3, are those who are "fanboys", so used to a PS that they don't want to convert, or those with so much money they will buy all three. I believe this will be a though time for Sony, and perhaps even the end for Playstation. In my opinion, they have fucked up. And I love that fact :p
On another note, I am happy, and hoping for Dead Rising to arrive today... Will most likely make another entry later today... about things that matters that time, instead of this gaming nonsense :p

Where I am: Gol
My mood: Happy!
What I am listening to: Foo Fighters and RHCP
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...
I believe I have reached a new level of geekdom now, after getting to know Firefly. Every other sci-fi show pales in comparison, IMO, and many shows in general as well. I dread the day when I have seen every episode, 'cause this is one of those things I don't want to end. I just wish it could go on and on, forever. I guess I just have to wait for some kind of Firefly game to come out. A game like Eve Online perhaps. That would be sweet. But right now I am happy with watching a few episodes a day, and dream myself away into that alluring 'verse. And I want to share this show with people I know, who haven't seen it, or the movie. But now everyone is gone... I am alone, completely, only one left of my friends here. I have a feeling the next months will be quite boring. Untill the fall vacation at least...
Still, I am unbelievably happy. I have great music assaulting my ears, I have a good book I am reading, I have several games to choose from on the computer, if I am really bored. My Xbox should be back where it belongs by tuesday. That means I will sit up all night til wednesday playing the Dead Rising demo... I am having fun by cussing in chinese, I have a glass bottle of Coke for later, chips and chocolate. And... one other thing that just make me happy. Really happy. If I had some way of traveling longer distances in the matter of minutes, I would be more than happy.
This does of course mean that one day, probably soon, I will be shot down hard. The amount of happiness surging through me now means I'll have a long fall... But I won't worry about that now. I'll just savor the moment :D

What I am listening to: RHCP
So, I saw Dead Man's Chest for the second time right now, and I really REALLY like it. Captain Jack Sparrow is awesome as always. Just love that character. Liz is... hot, as ever... :p Will is ok. Norrington is way better than before. Like that guy. And Davy Jones... man, he rocks! He's just so awesome! He speaks in a cool way, he looks cool, and he acts cool. And I love the fact that I recognize the actor in the way he uses his face and stuff. I don't remember his name right now, but if you have seen Shaun of the Dead or H2G2 you may recognize him as Shaun's step-dad and Slartibartfast...
Oh, and Tia Dalma... love the way she talks. "He cut out him heart"...
Oh, and I have finally found out why people love Firefly and Serenity so much, because I have seen a few episodes and the movie. It gotta be one of the best series ever. I mean it. There are better series of course, like Band of Brothers, but Firefly is really great. The whole western-sci-fi feel is just great as well. And the characters are great as well. I think they got really lucky with the actors. Oh, and I think I have a crush on one of the characters *look* It's Kaylee... her way of acting, talking, her smile... She's beautiful...
Yes, pitiful, but I am allowed to have fantasies and dreams, right?
Other than that, I am almost bored to death... My Xbox 360 is still at repairs... I called them a few days ago, to find out what was taking so long... apparently, it was missing. Seems like they found it today though...
The only thing keeping me happy, and not bored out of my skull, is the moments when I get textmessages from someone... special. *look*
I have sent more messages these past weeks than I have done in three months or so... expensive, but worth every Kroner. Heck, I wouldn't mind spending a lot more... I'm just afraid this whole thing will turn out... bad. That I am keeping my hopes up for something that won't work out. I guess things like that happen, and it's normal, but I hope that is not the case. Not sure if I can handle that right now.
Bah, anyway. I am happier than ever before, so no need to look at things the wrong way.

What I am listening to: Tool - Pushit
So, tomorrow, I am going to my dads again. Staying there till monday. So, no or very little internet. That's ok, IF I get my Xbox 360 soon. I want to play it now! But I can find things to do I guess. Computer games, some fan fic I am kinda working on, reading... The only thing I really miss when I don't have access to internet is TV.net, and MSN...
Mmm, damn. I had planned to meditate today, since I really want to learn that, but I forgot it... I better make a note on my cell or something about that.
And I made a "grudge sound" SMS noise on my cellphone, so everytime I get a message, that noise is played. I think that noise is scary, so it's probably not a wise move :p

My mood: 
Not sure
What I am listening to: Tool
Ok, school has begun some places around the country, and soon the rest of Norway also goes to school. I don't go to school, but this does affect me as well. 'cause now, I won't be able to talk that much with people on MSN.... and that really sucks. I am thinking mostly about a recent new friend, but there are several I won't be able to talk that much to. And to top that, all of my friends where I live moves to far away places to go to school, or military. So I will be all alone, on MSN and in RL... this sucks. I hope some of them decides to "bother" me with text messages... again, especially one of my MSN friends...
Anywho, not sure why, but I really want to tell people something about Tool. One of the reasons I love them so. And that is... the "Tool-climax" as I call it. What is that you ask? Well, that is the point the entire song has been building up to, instrumentally and lyrically. Many of their songs have this, and I think those are the best songs. One of the first who had it, is called Prison Sex. It's a... calm start, or whatever you can call it, in the fact that it is not nearly as powerful as the more recent "climaxes". In this song, Prison Sex, it builds up to the point where Maynard sings: "I have found... some kind of temporary sanity in this... shit, blood and cum on my hands..." Ok, that sounds disgusting, but when you hear the song, it's just great.
You really have to hear this to understand what I mean, and you really should. I do not say that you should download the songs or anything, but I am saying that you should talk to me on MSN and ask if I can help you to hear some of these songs...
Anyway, the best album regarding these climaxes is "Ænima". There are a lot of great climaxes here. Stinkfist and Pushit have the best ones:

"Something kinda sad about
the way that things have come to be.
Desensitized to everything.
What became of subtlety?
How can it mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?
I'll keep digging till
I feel something."
From Stinkfist, and:
"If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay,
You minimize my movement anyway,
I must persuade you another way.
There's no love in fear.
Staring down the hole again.
Hands upon my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.
Just remember I will always love you,
Even as I tear your fucking throat away.
But it will end no other way."
from Pushit. The one from Pushit is from where the climax begins, IMO, and where the song ends... and I tell you, you have to hear that song! It's brilliant.
But one of the best ones, is from the new album. In the song called "Rosetta Stoned". I tell you, if you listen to this song, really listen, you will understand what I mean instantly. The climax there is so powerful, it's almost scary...
Well, I guess I have rambled on enough about this now.
Still waiting for my Xbox 360... I need it now! I have to play Geometry Wars and the Dead Rising demo!
Oh! And I tried to drive today. With a pillow in the seat and stuff, I actually managed to operate the clutch! I can drive again! But I got tired very fast, so still not quite there yet....

What I am listening to: Tool - Disgustipated
Let's see... oh yes, I am actually thinking of buying >>this<<
Because Zelda: Ocarina of Time is THE best game. Ever. And therefore it would rock to have an Ocarina, and actually play stuff with it. I don't know how it is with shipping and stuff from that site though, so perhaps I need to talk to someone in the States... Perhaps order it for someone there, who can send it here afterwards, as a gift so that I don't need to pay customs. I dunno. Shouldn't use that much money right now anyway.
And today, or this evening, we are going to my dads again. Staying there till wednesday. So today I finally get to see our new kitten at home! I have seen her before, but only like an hour combined. I have gotten a lot of suggestions for names from members on TV.net, and I like a lot of them. But I am not that certain that dad will like any of them :P
My mum and I cleaned my room today. Normally I would do that myself (Hello! I am 19 years old for friggin' sake!) but it's not that easy with a crushed spine... Hey, I seem completely normal now, but as soon as I have to bend down and lift semiheavy objects, things just stop... I simply don't have the strength it takes in my back to straighten with then. So I needed help. And now my room is finally clean! I hate mess.
And when we cleaned, my mum fetched this mirror she doesn't use, and hung it up in my room. "In case some girl come to visit unannounced, and I don't have time to tidy up in the bathroom" :p Like girls visit me at all!
Don't know what more to say today. Other than this: If any one would see me now, I know they would think "Oh, what a pitiful guy" I did after all spend the entire weekend in the couch, infront of the computer, eating chips and drinking Coke. No wonder I am lonely. But I kinda like living like this. It's only the loneliness that bugs me.
And to end this entry, my very own Chuck Norris fact:
There is no such thing as death, life is but a dream. That Chuck Norris has.
Because Zelda: Ocarina of Time is THE best game. Ever. And therefore it would rock to have an Ocarina, and actually play stuff with it. I don't know how it is with shipping and stuff from that site though, so perhaps I need to talk to someone in the States... Perhaps order it for someone there, who can send it here afterwards, as a gift so that I don't need to pay customs. I dunno. Shouldn't use that much money right now anyway.
And today, or this evening, we are going to my dads again. Staying there till wednesday. So today I finally get to see our new kitten at home! I have seen her before, but only like an hour combined. I have gotten a lot of suggestions for names from members on TV.net, and I like a lot of them. But I am not that certain that dad will like any of them :P
My mum and I cleaned my room today. Normally I would do that myself (Hello! I am 19 years old for friggin' sake!) but it's not that easy with a crushed spine... Hey, I seem completely normal now, but as soon as I have to bend down and lift semiheavy objects, things just stop... I simply don't have the strength it takes in my back to straighten with then. So I needed help. And now my room is finally clean! I hate mess.
And when we cleaned, my mum fetched this mirror she doesn't use, and hung it up in my room. "In case some girl come to visit unannounced, and I don't have time to tidy up in the bathroom" :p Like girls visit me at all!
Don't know what more to say today. Other than this: If any one would see me now, I know they would think "Oh, what a pitiful guy" I did after all spend the entire weekend in the couch, infront of the computer, eating chips and drinking Coke. No wonder I am lonely. But I kinda like living like this. It's only the loneliness that bugs me.
And to end this entry, my very own Chuck Norris fact:
There is no such thing as death, life is but a dream. That Chuck Norris has.

Where I am: Gol
My mood: bored
What I am listening to: Tool
Let's see...
Nothing is happening. At all. Because of that, this entry will be very boring... so perhaps I should just post the lyrics for the song I am listening to right now:
Intolerance by Tool
I don't want to be hostile.
I don't want to be dismal.
But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existence either.
See
I want to believe you,
and I want to trust
and I want to have faith to put away the dagger.
But you lie, cheat, and steal.
And yet
I tolerate you.
Veil of virtue hung to hide your method
while I smile and laugh and dance
and sing your praise and glory.
Shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma
as I smile and laugh and dance
and sing your glory
while you
lie, cheat, and steal.
How can I tolerate you.
Our guilt,our blame ,
I've been far too sympathetic.
Our blood, our fault.
I've been far too sympathetic.
I am not innocent.
You are not innocent.
No one is innocent.

"10.023 Days for Marie"
Aug. 11th, 2006 | 03:43 pm
Where I am: Gol
My mood: calm
What I am listening to: Tool
So, I followed this weird post in some forum, and did this:
Use some audio mixing program, Audacity is free and good, and open up these songs from Tool's new album, 10.000 Days: Wings for Marie, 10.000 Days and Viginti Tres.
Now, when you have the songs in the editor, arrange it so that Viginti Tres and 10.000 Days play at the same time. Align Wings for Marie so that it ends at the same time as 10.000 Days.
What you have just done now is to synchronize these songs. Viginti Tres means 23 in latin, and is also used for synchronization. And, when you add up Viginti Tres and Wings for Marie, the play time is the exact lenght of 10.000 Days!
So, with this little mix, which you can call a hidden track, 10.023 Days for Marie, 10.000 Wings, I don't know, you have the ultimate song...
Well, there are some parts of it that is just noisy, but it's usually really cool. The lyrics from the songs kinda answers each other, and the music just adds up in a cool way. I think all of these songs are great, but this thing actually gave me goosebumps... and they lasted the whole song... that's over 10 minutes...
So if you are a Tool fan, try it out! Or ask me on MSN to send you a MP3 of it, if you don't think you'll manage it yourself.
Oh, and I am thinking about studying electronics, but it seems I need one more year at school before I can begin with that... now that sucks. But reading about it, seeing that I can specialize in nano technology and stuff, really made me eager to start... So I think I'll do whatever I can to do that. That does mean I have to go to school six more years, and I cannot start the first year untill next year... so when I am done at school I'll be... 26... Woah... I'll still do it though...

Gentlemen, behold!
Aug. 9th, 2006 | 09:18 pm
Where I am: Gol, up on a mountain. Really.
My mood: content
What I am listening to: The Mars Volta - Son et Lumiere
Aqua Teen Hunger Force kick ass! I love it! Instant classic as soon as I saw the first episode. And the thing is, everyone in it is awesome! Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, Carl, Dr. Weird, the Mooninites etc. All of them rock! I think I have seen almost every episode soon, which sucks, since I wish it was more.
Anyway... not sure what to say now. I am in a state of indifference most of the day, when it comes to how my life is and will be. I just don't care. What matters is right now, and if I am laughing my ass of because Dr. Weird just blew up Steve, then I am happy. I rather want to dwell on that very moment, than worry about what I should do next week or something. Fuck that. I do care about others, don't get me wrong. For instance: I just heard that one of my best friends does not date this guy anymore, and that makes me sad. She seemed happy when I talked to her last, when she was with him. She did seem fine now as well, but I still find it sad.
Um... ok, now I don't remember what I intended to write. Curse my memory! I tell you, there is something wrong with it. I am sure. I wonder if anything about my body is in full working order... My brain is obviously not fully as it should be, the rest of my body looks like a skeleton, more or less. Well, more less than more, but you know what I mean. Oh, and I have small jolts of pain behind my eyes now and then. Might be the computers fault, and all the books I read. I don't know. Plus there are several small things due to my back injury.
Bah, are there any more happy things I can put in here today? I think it sucks that this space always turn out so negative... Oh! Yes. That's right. My newest acquaintance through TarValon.net and stuff (which is a girl... why do I know so many girls all of a sudden?) turns out to be really cool and smart and clever and stuff. But, as usual, she lives a bit far away. Curse whatever rule that says it is impossible to teleport people... >_

Right...

HAHA! Yeah right! If I was that smart, I don't think I would sit here now with a broken back and work like a factory-worker :p
Anywho, this is not the important entry today, this was just because it was fun. The important entry is that way "vv"
Bah, you understand what I mean...

Subject? Why do I need a subject?
Aug. 6th, 2006 | 01:08 pm
Where I am: Home alone, and loving it!
My mood: Happy in a strange sort of way
What I am listening to: Richard Cheese FTW!
Let's see... First things first.
The Dead Rising demo looks sweet. I wish I had it. But instead of fretting about it, I have put together a playlist for when I get the game. I thought I should list a few bands and songs here, just because I can. Remember, this is a game which sole purpose is to let you wack zombies. Or that is what I will do anyway. So, here we go.
Disturbed - Down With the Sickness
The Benny Hill Theme
Aha - Take on Me
Queen - Can't Stop Me Now
Queen - Bohemian Rapsody
Queen - Another One Bites The Dust
Village People - Kung Fu Fighting
Jesper Kyd - Ave Maria
Tool (of course)
System of A Down
And a lots of Richard Cheese! Like, Chop Suey, Down With The Sickness, Hash Pipe etc...
So, if anyone else have some tunes that would suit some zombie slaughtering, please tell me! I need more music!
So, what else is happening. Well, this is the last day I'll be home alone. I really liked being alone this time. Most of the time was spent here, infront of the computer, but I don't care. It was fun, I got to know a new gal. And I have begun watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force! Meatwad FTW!
Mmm, oh, and I have this theory. You see, two years ago or something, I had one female friend. That's right. One female friend I talked to now and then. Now, most of the people I talk to on MSN is gals. I have even met some of them. They are all really cool, and range from being really pretty to be downright beautiful. Now, what the heck is happening? I have trouble with looking at pretty girls when I talk to them, yet I seem to talk to and know a lot of them now. Even though it's just online.
So my theory is like this. All of those I know are either taken, live to far away, or, as all of them are I guess, not interested. But, if suddenly one of them, or some new friend seems interested and all that, I will know for sure that there is a God. And a tricky God at that, because I am certain He have been planning this a long time. Listen to this: I am without self-esteem. I don't have many friends. Then gradually I meet and befriend more people, and women especially. (This is where I am now roughly). One day the perfect woman tells me she is interested. We meet once. We figure out that everything works out. We decide to go on a vacation to some hotell or a cabin. This is what Gods plan leads to, this very moment when I am traveling to meet her at wherever we are staying. When my car suddenly goes up in flames, or is hit by a rock from heaven. A fireball. Anything. He was messing with me all this time, just to kill me when I am finally happy.
... It could happen!

What!?!?
Aug. 4th, 2006 | 07:13 pm
So, I managed to make a total ass of myself today... here's the deal:
I'm on MSN, chatting with someone. I start to type something I have been thinking about for a while. But when I'm done, I realize it won't do anything good to say it. Things will either stay the same, which is most likely, or things will be worse. I don't think that will happen, but you never know... Anyway, I am just about to press "Backspace" and remove everything when my cat jumps up and press a few keys. One of them is "Enter"
Now, this is really strange, since he usually never jumps up on the table. And all he did was to put his paws just around that button.
So, what I thought would be better to be left unsaid, was said... I really wish that hadn't happened, but at the same time I am glad it is said...
And for you guys who actually read this and wonder "What did you say? And who did you say it to?" Well, I won't tell. So there.
On another subject, seems the Dead Rising Demo hit Xbox Live today... crap, since my box isn't fixed yet!

I am alone!
Aug. 3rd, 2006 | 05:52 pm
Where I am: Home alone!
My mood: Who would have thought it!
What I am listening to: Tool - Ticks and Leeches
So, the rest of my family went to Molde. That is about... 7 hours away by car. They are staying there till late Sunday. This means I will be alone home till then. I have to say, this will be great! Finally I can be alone! Truly alone! Ok, I know it will be boring as hell probably, but I realized something. I like being bored. I do like to be with friends and stuff as well of course, but I am happy being alone and slightly bored.
Tonight three friends are coming over though, to watch a movie. That is ok. I just hope I can get one day all by myself :p Some of you might say now: Hey! You are always complaining about being lonely! Why do you say that you like to be alone now!
Well, here's the deal. I like being alone. But I cannot stand being without someone to love. I want that. I need that. So I feel lonely. The way I see it, being alone and being lonely is two different things. If I could spend these days with the love of my life, I would be so happy you cannot believe it. But that is the only way I could be more happy than I am now.
Anywho, no one has picked up my faulty Xbox 360 yet. I need to get it fixed before Dead Rising hits the stores here in Europe. But that is like... a whole month ahead. I really want to play Geometry Wars as well... I might be addicted...
Just watched Underworld Evolution. What a load of crap. The vampires are weak and stupid. The lychants are stupid. The whole story is stupid. Ok, I think more or less every vampire story is wrong and stupid if it is not like in Anne Rice's books or Bram Stokers book... but still. The only cool thing about the movie was the eyes of some of the people. Especially the full black eyes of the hybrid dude. Eyes really fascinate me by the way...
Not sure what more to write right now... other than... I love lamp.
I love lamp.
