It’s the Cloud Nine catch up edition!  The end of the year tends to get a little
crazy, but here’s some cool stuff that happened.

 * Visited the family at Christmas and had a blast playing with my niece.  She’s
   so cute!!
 * Lots of awesome Christmas pressies from family and friends.
 * I decided to start doing more letter writing.  So naturally I ordered stamps
   and wax so I could put wax seals on them!
 * GILMORE GIRLS!!!  
 * Rogue One, in theaters, opening night (or rather the night before actually).

SIA IN CONCERT

categories: Music

I remember when I first heard Chandelier, I was kind of like “What is this?”,
and then I looked up the video and that feeling was only reinforced. However,
due to my days in the color guard back in high school, I really enjoyed the
modern dance elements of the video and was majorly impressed. So I started
telling people to watch the video because it was different, and awesome, and
kind of crazy.  I checked out other songs, got one of her albums through Google
Play, and enjoyed all the dance aspects to her videos. In short, I was hooked.

I wasn’t sure exactly what she would do for a live concert, but based on her
appearance on The Voice last season I hoped it would incorporate dancers.  I was
not let down.  Her concert was not only her music, but a modern dance show as
well.  I loved it!

Sia stood off to the side, on a box, with her signature wig and bow.  And there
was a smaller stage set up on the stage that was the setting for the dancers.  A
few props were brought in, and the effects were simple. There were no
pyrotechnics or over the top costume changes as one expects with a major pop
star.  It was different, and interesting.  

I look forward to seeing what she does in the future.

MONSTRESS

categories: Books

> deco-inflected steampunk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is
> struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic
> link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them
> both.

Monstress by Marjorie Liu

I was able to read issues 1 – 6 from NetGalley, which comprise the first volume
of the comic.  For me, I find reading comics a bit different from novels.  Which
I know is stating the obvious, however with novels all the pictures come out of
your own head.  It’s your imagination choosing how to portray things.  With
comics, the pictures are there for you, and it’s something I have to remember to
pay attention to as well as the words.  Especially because with the more
condensed format of the comic, the pictures are a large part of the story and
can tell you things that aren’t included in the writing.  I find that reading
comics is almost harder for me because of this difference.

On the other hand, comics allow you to enjoy art that enhances the story.  There
are so many styles, and the artwork for Monstress is gorgeous.  The cover art
combined with the title is what drew me in.  The story is dark, and can be
disturbing, which is reflected in the art.  It’s also beautiful.  

The story is intriguing as well and I want to know more about Maika, and the
people she’s picked up as companions.  I feel like these characters can not be
taken at face value.  There’s too much going on for that to be the case.

I’m interested in keeping up with this series, but I have a feeling I’ll wait
until the other omnibus volumes come out, rather than reading each issue
separately.  Here’s hoping it doesn’t take too long for the next one!

CLOUD NINE (#13)

categories: Features
 * It’s fall!  I’ve been able to wear long sleeves, even a hoodie!  
 * Pumpkin Spice!!  I’ve already had cereal, cookies, and a pumpkin spice chai.
    So yummy!
 * Kenshin Part 2
 * Intervention 7 – Got to see Juliet Landau and Alex Kingston.  Woot!  Plus
   yummy food from Smashburger.
 * Figured out how the usb drive worked for music in my Jeep.  I don’t have a cd
   player, and using my phone can be cumbersome.  The usb works awesome though,
   so now I need to buy a physically smaller one, and load it up!
 * I made it to book club this month!
 * Figured out at least the start of a concept for NaNoWriMo.
