Captain's Log 2/3/2014 - SORRY!!!

Oye, but seriously, lads and lassies, I sincerely apologize for being gone for sooooo long. College had just begun, and as soon as I got my land legs back, tragedy struck--I'd lost my faithful companion, my parakeet. So these past few days, I'd been spending my time with her in her last moments. I'm very sad currently, but I am trying to move on. Just give me some time. And I can't promise any consistent posting as of now or soon, but I WILL be posting. Being away from the Jolly Anne has been kiiiiilling me. (And I have a huge pile of ARC's to be reading and reviewing...) So I thank you so much for your dedication and patience and understanding and a whole, long list of pretty descriptive words!!!

PS: BAP HAS RETURNED!!!! Give a listen to my new ear worm: 1004 (Angel) [pronounced the same in Korean thus the two title words] Warning lassies: ovaries WILL explode, sorrynotsorry. And lads: well, you're life will, too, change.

Now, was that not the best song ever created in this world? Yes? YES? Good to hear. And also, it's good to be back. I missed you guys. Question of the day: what did you do to pass time during this winter storm from hell? Wait, of course you read a book. So tell  me, what book did you read during the storm? Was it good? Meh? Bad? I read...my physics textbook and it was meh [I AM  a physics major, so I kinda liked it...#nerdstatus]

Aye lads and lassies, today be an exciting day. I have not one, not two, but three pieces of news concerning THREE DIFFERENT MOVIES. 

Exciting, right? Okay, here we go. 

First up, THREE NEW STILLS of Divergent have been released. First, we have a totally adorbs moment between Tris and Four:

Next up, with a total turn in the mood, we have the terrifying moment of Tris' simulation:

And finally, we have Tris looking out of the train:

Next up, in the world of Vampire Academy, we have TWO NEW STILLS. First up is the three ladies, Rose, Lissa, and Natalie, hangin' about, lookin' all pretty:

And then we have the sexy Dimitri and Rose, mid-training:

Finally! Yes, it's been a lot of exciting news to take in but bear with me for one more bout of excitement. I know, you know, we all know of Lauren Oliver, the brilliant author of the Delirium Trilogy. We also know her new book, Panic, is due to come out this Spring. What's new is that Universal Pictures has already landed the film rights for Panic! Now, I'm even more psyched to read the book. Aren't you?

Yeah, I can't wait either.

This week, I've been addicted to power-house diva Ailee's newest release, "Singing Got Better" It's such an emotional rock ballad, complemented by the great MV with Lee Joon of MBLAQ and Ailee herself.

Ey mates, currently, I'm emotionally invested in Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini [even better the second time around] My feels for Lucas and Helen are too muuuuuch T^T What are you reading right now? Tell me in the comments below :)

Of course, OF COURSE for today's movie section I MUST speak about the delectable first clip of Divergent. Been living under a rock and haven't seen it yet? 

O_O Man, they aren't holding anything back to promote the movie {a fact that I, along with every Divergent fan, is enjoying very much}. Any people who had their doubts(WHY?!) about Theo James, well, I don't think you can say much after this trailer.

Yes, yes, they missed a line but hey, we've had the book-->movie talk before. And I prefer it this way. The atmosphere was kept and wasn't destroyed by the comedic line. I approve of this decision. I approve of this clip. I APPROVE EVERYTHING. But, really, loving the chemistry. So much that I can't stop clicking replay.

MUSIC

Maybe it's because I'm ecstatic over my finals' result but I've been into some very feel-worthy music lately. My latest obsession is "Run" by the uber-talented Younha. The video is such a visual pleasure. So out of this world, so...not normal, yet it matches the song perfectly. And her voice, wow, too gorgeous. She's too underrated with a voice like that. Here you go, lads and lassies, I hope you find the song a elating as I did. 

*I do apologize for being MIA for a week. It's just, I'd gotten caught up in catching up with life. And reading. Because, you know, I have to review books here as well. And watching some movies I'd missed, which I'll review as well. But it's good to be back on the water, mates! Also, leave your thoughts on the Divergent clip and Younha's song in the comments below ^^ This captain loves to talk to her beloved shipmates*
