Amy & Roger's Epic Detour

It's very late here and it' so quiet with everyone sleeping... it's very surreal... I've been trying to sleep earlier so I don't wake up in the afternoon hungry but it's very hard to change bad habits... haha

I needed an easy read so I ended up reading this book, what I like about it is that it includes a playlist of what they are listening while they are on the road and there are mentions of the songs in the books so it feels like I'm inside it. The bad thing is that I think I'm reading too fast so I'm getting behind with the songs and I think they will reach the hundreds soon... mmm... oh whatever! if I have some left when I finish the book I'll just listen to them later!

Yesterday I read Anna and the French Kiss which proved to be not that silly, haha! But in the sense that the girl recognized that it's really embarrasing to be an american and that most of them look really stupid while traveling to another country where the people are more cultured. Also, it's not the clasic book of; Oh! i'm in Paris and I found a cute parising and we fell sooo in love! and we couldn't help ending up together!!! haha... I mean, it's more realistic and I really like the couple especially the guy. I ended up liking it so much that I realized that the author is the same of Lola and the Boy Next Door (that I had read before) and I just realized at that moment when I remembered that Lola had some friends named Anna and St. Clair and I figured out that they were the same. And I tell you, it suddenly made sooo MUCH SENSE!!!! So I opened the ebook and searched it for any part where their names appeared and then I read those parts all over again! haha

It was very fun!

The Tree of Life

Yesterday I watched this movie with Brad Pitt. I had heard that you needed a lot of patience to watch this movie and it's really true! The introduction lasts like forty minutes and the only good thing is that you get to watch a lot of beautiful scenes.

I think this movie is made to make you think about life and the loss of innocence. It's really artistic so you have to watch it with an open mind. I think it won in cannes so it's worth watching!

BECK or MCS

For almost two days, I spent all my time reading this manga nonstop. And I must say that I had some life-changing revelations. What I liked best is how it starts really simple with a normal lost little boy that finds something worthwhile in his life. I like how all the characters develope and how they overcome obstacles with hard work and a lot of passion!! haha...

But it has some magic that makes it really good and if you look closely you can find a lot of music references from a lot of great bands.

This is a snapshoot I took in a really epic moment of the manga!!! haha

The best is that I can relate to a lot of stuff they are talking about and it somehow helps me to overcomes problems in my life. It also reaches a point of the story where I just cried. I like this kind of stories....

Ready Player One

Right now I'm reading this book by Ernest Cline and I must say that I was craving for a highly addicitive book for a while. In short, THIS BOOK IS REALLY GOOD. And is not your normal futuristic novel, No!, it's a very actual book and every teenager today can relate in some way. Another cool thing is that the main character is a book, something that is very unusual.

The book is a about a boy in a very possible future where every practically lives in an online videogame, he almost never goes outside and has no social skills whatsover. But one day the maker of this game dies and leaves his whole fortune to whoever finds three keys that will open an secret easter egg that he left encoded in the game. But to do that he has to have a lot of knowledge of the culture in the 80's.

There are a lot of geeky references relating to videogames, music, comics, tv shows and computers, and I understand most of them thanks to having a lot of geeky friends and that is what makes the book even better for me!

Now getting back in my life, I haven't been updating a lot probably because I'm enjoying my life too much right now. But I have taken time to visit friends and seeing my family by going to the country club. I'll do a music update later but I'll probably divide it up because it's a LOT!!!
