It's finally here!
What is here, you might wonder. Is it my will to blog again? Is it the spring? Is it the realization that I have less then a month left of school until I graduate? - Well, to name a few. But most important of all: Volta is here! After a month's worth of waiting, Björk's new CD has finally reached me, and my God is it wonderful? Somecritics say Björk has lost her vision, that she's not as poinering and trendsetting as she used to be, but I say My ass, she isn't! Volta is a masterpiece, and it mixes electronically, noisy rots of songs with calmer, string based floating ones, and it ties them all togetherin a wonderful way. Thou shalt not mock the Björk!

As for some more good news, there is talk about a possibilty of a fourth season of Veronica Mars. Apparently, the CW liked the trailer for new, improved, FBI studying Veronica, and with the cancellation of Gilmore Girls, it became even more likely it would happen. Well, we can only cross our fingers and hope, because in my eyes, a slightly worse Veronica than before, is still better than most other shows.
Heroes is now my new obsession, and I'm dying to see how it ends. I loved last week's episode, with its epic plot and wonderful character developement, and I loved this week's episode, because of the huge amount of Hiro, and the fact that we were reminded that Sylar is in fact a human being with, believe it or not, feelings.

And even more wonderful: I've finally given in to temptation and watched Grindhouse. It's really not a movie (or two) that I'd normally like, with lots of zombies, shooting and cars going really fast. Yet, I simply loved it. Planet Terror was so much fun, and even though the story was a bit nonexisting, or just nonoriginal, the wonderful character, amazing acting and extremely entertaining actions scenes made up for it. The first five minutes, with Rose McGowan as a googoo-dancer is worth watching the entire movie for. As are the last ten minutes, with kick-ass McGowan with a michine gun leg. I never thought I'd say this about a woman, but My God, that woman is so HOT! Death Proof, on the other hand, was great straight through. Once more, Rose was marvellous, and I think it's incredible, that she can pull off two so very different characters in one film, and make them great, when her acting in the late seasons of Charmed was *erm* questionable. Death Proof was just filled with great dialogue, and I loved how it all of a sudden just changed direction and surprised you. Oops, the nice, sweet old guy was really a crazy psycho who hits people with cars. Ooopsie, the poor defenceless girls turn the chase around and mauls the psycho to the ground! It also featured the wonderul Tracie Thoms, who I've adored since Wonderfalls, as well as the charming as hell stunt woman Zoë Bell, who just makes me melt. I don't normally liked car chases, but this one was maginificent. I also enjoyed the fake trailers, and especially "Thanksgiving" as a hoot. It was like an homage/spoof on "Halloween", and the death scenes shown in the trailer were just hilariously gruesome and gory. Jumoing on a trampoline naked, landing on a knife anyone? That would've made one scary movie, and I've heard rumors that director Eli Roth might collaborate with Edgar Wright and combine Thanksgiving with Don't.

Last but not least, there is less than a month until I graduate! Seriously! And the best thing is that we have so many days off. Around two a week, plus the fact that we don't have any lessons the last week and a half. Wooot! It's a great time to live my life.
Oh, and I have a new banner and icon. For those who hadn't noticed.
