So it seems that eye patches are kind of a big thing right now:





top to bottom:
-Atrophy/Nelli Scarlet (The Scarlets)
-Kat Dennings
-Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil)
-ME (hahaha)


So yeah, I wanted to see what I would look like with one, so I made one out of some old salvaged fabric I had with metallic rainbow stars. Can't see the stars very well, but whatevs.

It's okay, I know it sucks. Haha.

I just got back from Borders and I swear I wish I could live in that place. I'm craving some real good books to read but I haven't been able to find anything since finishing White Oleander,(which by the way, was SUCH a great novel that I want to read it again but I had to return it to the library, haha). I mean, some books seemed promising, but I'm just not willing to fork over $20 (or more) for something that I'm not 100% certain that I'll even LIKE. I'm looking for something that's gripping and non predictable and NOT lame. But ULTRA LAME is all that seems to line the shelves these days. Ever since the whole Twilight craze, all that I keep getting assaulted with are the so called "next vampire romance thriller for fans of Twilight". Boo-fucking-YAWN. I'm OVER it. I wasn't even thrilled to find that my (former) favourite author, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, has finally published a new work called The Persistence of Memory. I stared at it on the shelf for the longest time, and as much as I wanted to get into it, I just wasn't intrigued.

I remember when telling people that your favourite kinds of novels are vampire novels would get you weird stares and confused reactions. Now it just gets you a roll of eyes and a "yeah you and every other girl in this room" kind of reaction.

I also noticed that Borders has a growing comics section. (And I don't mean Japanese mangas, I mean REAL comics). They had these insane boxed volumes of the entire Sandman collection by Neil Gaiman that cost $100 each. I've never actually read any of those books but I've always wanted to! And I almost bought The Crow graphic novel/booklet that I read in high school, but I was being cheap, haha.



There were also other books/volumes/series that intrigued me but seeing as how I'm NO expert on these kinds of things, I wasn't sure what would be good. One of these days I need to just go into Borders early on and just sit and read a little of each book, just to see if it's worth buying.

Lately, I've been wanting to write, write, WRITE. I've been working on ideas for years for novels of my own (graphic novels/comics included!!) that I think would be good but I just need to be able to sit and let it all come out.

So I guess since I can't find a good book to read at the moment, maybe I should just write one myself... Ella Anarchy: Pirate, Fashion Designer, Photographer (working on it), Stylist, somewhat-Artist, Author???

SURE! WHY NOT?!

we touch the stars.

Ok, so not some of my best work. But it's what I like to do when I have long periods of downtime working the express register on a monday afternoon at work.

Besides, I didn't have my phone on me... else I'd be texting/tweeting or something. HA.

My bro gave me an iTunes gift card for my birthday and I've been using it to buy episodes of The Watchmen, (they offer cool animated little episodes of the actual comic, narrated by someone... it's so much fun!). I hope to be able to get through the entire novel once or twice before I watch the movie. It doesn't come out until March, so at least I have time. I am very excited for it indeed, and I'm not even a huge fan of comics. But this one in particular seemed to be pretty cool. I just hope I'm not disappointed with the movie, if I end up liking the comic a lot. That happened to me with The Crow. I read the graphic novel before I saw the movie, and I was so incredibly let down by the movie that it wasn't even funny. The graphic novel OWNS.

But I saw the preview for The Watchmen movie yesterday when my friend Alex and I saw Underworld3: Rise of the Lycans, (yay for guys who treat me to an awesome movie for my birthday and boo for those guys who made me cry on my bday), and it looked really freaking awesome. I especially loved how they played "Take a Bow" by Muse during the preview... that song is so incredibly fitting and awesome:




Oh and Underworld3 totally rocked my socks off. And I don't even LIKE Lycans!!




And finally, it was 30 years ago today that John Richie Simon, better known as Sid Vicious was found dead...
