I am an avid LiveJournal user, however I have decided to make my way over here to check things out and perhaps start a less...private journal.
My name is Rianna, and I am a 19 year old college student attending UW-Madison.
This blog will be used for me to discuss any sort of entertainment I am interested in, want to discover or am currently checking out.
The title comes from a song by my favorite band, 3.
They are a prog-rock band from Woodstock, NY with a distinctive sound and a fantastic vocalist, who is also one of the best guitarists I have ever heard.
Now onto my current finds.
For starters, I saw You Don't Mess With the Zohan about two weeks ago with my brother and sister. Now, as a warning, my sister is 11 years old and I did not think it was a good idea to take her, but my mother insisted. I still don't believe it was a good idea, but most of it probably went over her head. My brother is 14 and got a kick out of it. It is a very sexual movie but luckily there is nothing graphic, just a lot of implied sexuality and more innuendo than I think I've ever encountered in an hour and a half. I did enjoy it greatly however. I'm not a huge Adam Sandler fan, but I do like some of his stuff, and this was a little different than his usual type of character. I highly recommend it for any Adam Sandler fan.
Currently I am reading the third book in the Ender series by Orson Scott Card, Xenocide. I loved Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead, so I am hoping this book will meet my standards for science fiction. Anyone that knows me well understands how picky I am with my sci-fi. First of all, I am very anti-aliens in any form of media. I only saw half of Signs and couldn't take much more. I loved the War of the Worlds remake until they showed the alien. Yet I consider Ender's Game one of my favorite books of all times. I think since it doesn't focus on the aliens themselves, but rather the psychological aspect within the training of the children, it held my interest all the way to the end.
I am also reading Dante Aligheri's The Divine Comedy, but I haven't gotten far enough into it to have a clear opinion on it. It is a book I have been wanting to read for a long time, so I hope I will be pleased with it.
Well, it looks like I am off to the store to buy some ice cream and snacks for my brother and I.
A domani,
RJ
