AC III

Just finished and watched the ending of Brotherhood… for the second time. After the first time I somehow did not want to go through this again for a while simply because I needed some rest and relaxation after such intense ending. Yes, it was a shocker at first, who would have suspected Lucy gets killed – but hey, I always knew something was wrong about her… Never seen a stiffer female – hey, did she have a broom up her a$$ or what? So glad she will not be back in AC III. I might be the only one who’s glad about this.

So… It is obvious where AC III is taking place… Phyrgian Cap and Masonic Eye =  France during the Revolution. Nice, what era could be better? However, what’s with the cross? Apparently pre-French Revolution flag was a white cross, perhaps it’s another confirmation we’ll be thrown into some Templar action at the onset of those awesome times.

I have one worry though, and aside that I have full faith in Ubisoft not to disappoint me. Well, it looks like Desmond will not come back. Not a fan of Desmond, but hey, Ezio and Altair LOOKED like him and I liked it. A lot. Desmond has a bad a$$, awful haircut and “dead” eyes but his ancestors… mhm… they were something. To look at. And the personality, of course, to fall for. Now however, when it has been revealed that Animus these days has “memory within memory” feature enabled, and the two unknown voices shouting to put “him” back into Animus as “he” is going into shock, it makes one wonder: are we going to deal now with someone whose ancestor was Desmond? How is that possible though? If implied end of the world happens in 2012, Desmond still has no kids 72 days before that, how can that be then? Unless something happened that prevented that end of the world, and we haven’t been told yet.

Well, can’t wait for AC III.  And also any single player DLC for Brotherhood that would hopefully shed some light on the next beg release.

Well, I decided that a move was not for me

So, welcome back. Teh move I made for purely for the sake of being able to edit css and styles, add add-ons etc but heck, I’d rather have freedom of writing what I want when i want than tie up the website that runs databases extensively. Well, I guess I can live without fancy Davey background. Hence, welcome back.

MOVED!

The whole blog with its contents was moved to: http://ladygahanblog.daveshiddenhouses.com/

Refreshing page

Just a short update, have been busy recently; so many projects, so little time. Also found a few things I’d like to watch (or rewatch) hence even less time to whining. I surely will be back at some point, perhaps my brain needs a tiny break from blogs.

More whining about books

I got so disappointed the other week. Got THREE new (to me) books by Reese Gabriel and another one by someone else.  I keep on promising myself to read the latter but it’ll be tough. Why? Well, it is a part of a trilogy so naturally I should read it if I liked the other two books. I loved them though they were rough, I mean bloody rough in the sense of bloody like blood flowing, skin torn etc. Bodily modifications, piercing and all the enchilada. Yet, it was very well written and had a plot from hell, in both cases we’re talking m/f/m – I don;t mind as long as those “m”‘s are separated by “f”. And here comes the problem with that third book. It is m/m. Those two m’s come from one of the books from m/f/m. Darn it. I’m very curious about the two’s history but… can I handle it? I know SOMETHING happened – something real “good” between them, not sure if I want to go intoo their relationship’s details if you know what I mean.

ANYWAY. This entry was supposed to be about Reese. MY darling Reese. Three books, dated 2009, 2007 and 2004. Considering that More Than Male series was around 2007 – I am so awfully confused. How can the guy write something such as the whole perfect series of More Than Male and a few standalone short books such as Slaves of the Outland, Scorching Sammie etc which are pretty good and then release something so lame as those three I just got? I don’t know, I thought they guy had the whole Dom/sub thing swallowed, minced, pickled and frozen to serve later in its perfect form as it should be but NO, one huge NO.

I am so deeply disappointed How hard it is to keep this in the head: Doms are confident, know what they want and know what their subs want. The basic story background/plot: a lonely Dom meets a lonely sub, maybe with some scary past, or they meet in some original setting, then we just progress. There’s an event close to the end that stands out, and duh, it’s called CLIMAX believe it or not. What kind of an editor does Reese Gabriel have that lets him publish books with Doms who go for “a” spanking and then whine for 60 pages how much they don’t want the girl because she deserves someone better? A girl who tops from the bottom for that 60 pages? Never gets punished for heinous deeds she does to get the man? What is this? I wouldn’t even release this piece in a Harlequin series because it makes no sense whatsoever. Does that man even have a spine? Not in my dictionary. A tiny whiner and WOW – Reese Gabriel releases that and is not ashamed of himself!

Uf. I’m done. I read one in full, went to half of the second and read 10 pages of the third. And I’m not going back. Bye.

Does God know Ethics?

I feel like a lab mouse, most of the time… Wouldn’t you agree that performing experiments and general torture of lab mice/animals is ethically wrong? It is, isn’t it.  Why is god treating me like a lab mouse trying out how humans would react to this unhappiness, this drama, this disease or another, this abuse, that accident… Since I remember I watched my friends having parents who could talk to one another, would go out, walk with kids holding hands, my friends having colds and runny noses, having kids in nasty hospitals and walking out healthy, having husbands they talk to, celebrate holidays together, talk (aha) etc. Why the hell I was given a psychopath for a father, puritan mother, two health problems that put me on a highway to two other diseases endangering my life greatly, plus huge libido and husband who refuses any sexual relations, also a psychopath keeping me behind closed doors for 9 years now. I could whine for another page. Or so.

Some people have one or two problems – I mean one of those really big ones. I could survive that. But why god decided to experiment on me, to give salvation from earthly problems to most of my friends I remember but take me as a scapegoat? Why is it such a great sacrifice to give his son for our sins, but then also sacrifice for example me? I realize I am not the only one with abundance of hell on earth, but…

let me ask you, god:

WHAT THE HECK???????????? Easy to pick on little ones? Huh? Huh? Choose someone of your own size! You want me to be good and ethical, moral? Why don’t you BE an example of the whole goodness you’re preaching? Let me see.

Stop picking on me. Leave me alone.

Refreshing the page

I don’t have much to write about recently… School started, exams passed, blah blah blah. Time to fold the Christmas tree (eventually? heh) and maybe even start thinking of midterms. *shudders

Anyway, found a glitter application thanks to a friend from facebook, and even though glitter is such pretentious decoration, some gif images are pretty cool.

Did I ever mention I like red?

Aha

Marinated chicken

To my best knowledge

For chicken:
1 pound chicken fillet
4 eggs
bread crumbs
salt
pepper
vegetable oil
For the pickle mix:
1 tablespoon salt
4 teaspoons sugar
1 litre water (4 cups)
3/4 cup vinegar (for mild 5%, for stronger 10%)
3 medium onions
5 peppercorns
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 teaspoons tomato concentrate

Slice chicken fillets into pieces (the thinner the better chicken will fall apart later). Rub in salt and pepper. Cover the slices in bread crumbs, egg, and again bread crumbs. Fry in the pan using vegetable oil.
Boil water with salt, sugar, peppercorns, sliced up onions and bay leaves. Then add pepper, paprika, vinegar and concentrate. When the water is still warm, pour into a dish with prepared earlier chicken fillets. Cover the dish tightly (may use a large jar and the lid) and wait for 24 hrs before trying the chicken!
You can follow exactly same procedure for marinated fish fillets!
