Rants and Reviews and Shoes

Russian Sci-fi
Night Watch and Day Watch are probably some of the best sci-fi/fantasy movies out there! Sure it’s in Russian but the people who did the subtitles were geniuses, letting letters fall away or dissolve into bloody streaks or float away like ghosts. The story makes me think of a combination of Holly Black’s fairy books, the movie Johnny Pneumonic, and David Sosnowski’s Vamped. I recommend these movies whole-heartedly and for those of you Netflix users, you can watch both of them online.

I love shoes. I love my black widow boots made of black overlapping leather. I love my high heeled Mary-Janes and my flat leather and rubber Mary-Janes. I love my black ballerina flats and my black and silver strappy heels. I love my Black and white polka-dotted flip-flops and my American Flag platform flip-flops. I love my femme army boots and my soft leather chunk-heel boots. I love my black tennies and my kitty-cat skull skater flats. I love my black fuzzy house shoes. And of course I love my babies, a pair of black peep-toe pumps with a hounds-tooth heel that is soooo cute!
Along with my love of shoes I love funky pictures of shoes.
Here is a blog that features shoe pictures that I Stumbled Upon today.

Rant
What is the big deal with the Twilight Series? The writing style is that of a third grader, the girl (Bella) is a ditsy idiot after the first book, and the actor is not nearly what I think of when I read how beautiful the main guy (Edward) is. On Facebook Pieces of Flair is filled with love for Edward and the admittance that obsession with a fictional character is odd but no one cares (I personally think this very weird).
I have friends that love this series and I respect unhealthy love for books but good books, not badly written teen romance.
