I'm sorry but this is too awesome for words

Online graphic novels that you need to check out!

The Meek

This is a graphic novel that left me wonderfully surprised and I'm embarrassed that I discovered it only last year. The course of the story seems effortless, yet when you read it-- you can tell the creator put a hell a lot of work into it! In my opinion this could be a movie. It's just that deep and intricate. Besides, the artwork is top-notch. (AND IT'S IN FULL BLOWN COLOR MAN) GO READ IT!

Lackadaisy

First thing first. The 20's. Awesome period. Second: CATS. Two things I love all in one comic. You may be thinking: Cats? Furry comic? What? Noo! -- But seriously. Tracy Butler is so good at drawing these guys that I found myself forgetting they were cats -- they have such personality and wit that it's like reading a comic that has people --- only far more amusing than ever. And she has the period down to every detail, it's amazing! All in all, you HAVE to give this comic a try.

Johnny Wander
You know those little episodic comics you're used to reading in the newspaper with the little jokes in them that make you laugh? Well, Johnny Wander is one of those, only BETTER and more epic. The characters are the very creators and their social circle, as they chronicle the many bizarre and amusing things that happen in their lives. There hasn't been one strip that hasn't made me laugh out loud. Or giggle. :-3

Roza: The Cursed Mage
Once again, here is a comic where a lot of work/LOVE was put into it. A great spin on the fantasy genre! I don't know what else to say, for I feel like I'll be repeating myself over again. D: Might I mention it's also in color! (although the most recent pages aren't. but they are still awesome!) It's a story with just enough humor and adventure to keep you reading.

Phoenix Requiem
This story is played in the Victorian era, but with a supernatural twist!  Yet again, an artist that is so kind in coloring her pages. (We are so spoiled!) Suspense and romance are its main focus. As you can see as the list grows longer I find myself more at a loss at what else to say. AAH. NO. FORGIVE ME.

The Dreamer
This is a webcomic that normally wouldn't be to my liking because of the art style. Yes, I am normally not a fan of the whole classical american comic art style. But this is such an original concept that it won me over. The story is about a 17 year old girl, high school senior who starts having vivid dreams about a man called Alan Warren, a soldier that served during the Revolutionary War in 1776. Full of adventure, romance and war, what more could you want? And what better way to learn some good old american history?


Ok, I must retire. I could put up some more comic recommendations but I think it'd be pushing it tonight. Check out one of these guys and tell me what you think! Ta-ta! ;9 (Click on the banner to get to their respective website!)




EDIT: 

Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name
It slipped my mind to mention this one. LAST ONE TONIGHT I SWEAR. This comic is pure awesomeness. It has a great, quirky personality with a wonderful sense of humor. Vampires, zombies-- supernatural galore -- it doesn't take itself too seriously... at first. Then the story gets really interesting! I particularly love the coloring technique, which is very free spirited. And the artwork and panelling. AND EVERYTHING. Anyway, just feast your senses.

I'll mention some more comics tomorrow perhaps...

INCEPTION

Listening to: "Starry Eyed" - Ellie Goulding
'Finally I saw it last Friday and boy oh boy... Batman: The Dark Knight was good, but INCEPTION was beautiful! Not everybody will like it... but I adored it. It's everything I like all in a movie. What could be better?!

[fangirling]
I haven't been so addicted and in love with a movie in quite a while. I was all smiles and giggles after the movie -- it left me with such a "I'm pumped, ready and inspired" feeling. I can't wait till it gets released on DVD! I SWEAR I WILL BUY IT -- WHO CARES ABOUT HOW MUCH IT COSTS! >:D

I'm so in love with the movie that I feel like going to the scary depths of fanfiction.net after so many years not reading it, to feed on my addiction. And of course I reaallly want to draw fanart~ And I end up watching interviews of the cast, haha.

I'm also totally crushin' on Joseph Gordon-Levitt. At first glance he really isn't my type, but he is so frikkin' hot in Inception, gawd! Now I shall finally watch "500 Days of Summer" because of him. He seems cute beyond belief in that movie! *drools*

Sorry peeps, I just HAD to get that out of my system! Even with the rambling I don't think it will be out of my system very soon. And in honor of this post I am making a movies label. I am actually quite the movie buff -- I really need to make a list of the awesome movies I've seen over the years! D:

I could ramble on more about how hot JGL is, the movie and its beautiful cast, but I will spare you innocent bystanders, heh. NOW GO WATCH THE MOVIE IF YOU HAVEN'T!

Late update (John Mayer alert!)

OK, I won't be able to mention much in detail at this very moment, but I'll try and mention the basic details. ...And before I say anything else, I must announce one thing:

I found out last night on my twitter (something I go to very rarely when I'm seriously bored) that John Mayer will be playing in West Palm Beach on Sept. 11th! And there's still seats available! (sadly not front row, though.) It was already past midnight when I saw the video-message from JM. I almost thought it was a joke. My dad was already asking me once again to go to sleep and I seriously didn't think I would be able to because I was so excited. West Palm Beach is only a 2 hour drive from Miami!

Even though the ticket's pricy, I reeeeaaaalllly want to buy a seat anyway. (This is coming from a stingy person when it comes to spending money.) Who knows when's the next time I'll be able to go to his concert!

Honestly, that made my night yesterday. /o/

Now, onto more boring things:

• I've been in Miami for almost 2 weeks now. Still in a motel with my dad until we have found and decided on a temporary apartment. That aspect has been a bit of a pain.

• I've finished my registration for MDC and already chose my classes. They're all in the afternoon! I mean, my classes. I can't see myself waking up who knows how early to go to a class starting 7AM or 8AM after this long vacation.

• Don't have a purchased car yet, because I still have to do the DMV exam. I think today I'll pay for the DATA course online (drug and traffic awareness course)... Yesterday for the second time, I learned a little bit on driving in my dad's car. We went to one of those big empty parking lots, but even so, I felt so nervous driving. Maybe 'cause my dad made such a darn serious examiner. I also realized yesterday that I still have a lot more to read on the DMV handbook. -_-

That's pretty much all I can tell you for now. I'm also trying to get rid of a cold I caught from my dad (which he hasn't gotten rid of yet haha). I miss Brazil, but I'm also liking the change. I can definitely see myself getting excited if I hear any people speaking portuguese here, though. Which already happened a couple days ago at the Apple store. :D

I'll try to post more soon.

Update

I’m terribly behind on this blog, it seems. So that I don’t drag out my thoughts aimlessly here, I’ll mention some things that have been on my mind:

1. College life and the idea of my registration going wrong. See, I registered ages ago, like at the end of last year, I think. But there are still some loose ends to tie (college leveling test, registering for classes, etc) , which I can only do once I’m in Miami. And since I love to worry about possible scenarios, I can’t help but think something’ll back fire. I know there’s no point worrying, but what if I can’t register for the classes I want or need? What if there’s a space limit? What if a ton of people are going for computer animation as their major?! Ah well... time will tell I suppose. >;p
2. Packing and ridding of junk. See, my dad wants to be completely mobile. In other words, we’re getting rid of pretty much everything we have except for things I wish to take with me to Miami and vice-versa for my dad. We’ve sold a lot of furniture already, thankfully. But there’s still a TON of stuff that’s just been hiding itself in the house and UGH I can’t wait to be over with it. I dread tomorrow and the amount of stuff I’ll have to go through. The good news though is that today I got my whole room pretty much wiped out -- that is, rid of junk. At least it isn’t as crazy-messy like it has been recently.
3. Dragging on the topic above, I have this second suitcase which I’m suppose to use to figure what I can fit with things I feel I really want to take... and I had to go through it all again today (meaning I had to take out everything in that suitcase out) -- and it lead me to realizing I’ll have to ship all of my heavy books and comics in a box to Miami, while the other half I can take with me... IF I’M LUCKY and it doesn’t weigh too much. Seriously I can’t believe how much I have! Even with all the bazillion books, papers and other things I got rid of -- it’s still a lot!
4. Also, on the topic of college: On videojug.com I discovered a fellow called Harlan Cohen, where he gives tips and advice regarding college. I found him so likable and funny that when I went to his website I found out he was also an author of several books, one of them being a guide on college life (“The Naked Roomate”) I immediately told my dad I wanted to buy once I was in the U.S.. Check out his two websites: The Naked Roomate and Help me Harlan!
5. Oh, I might as well mention when I’ll be in Miami. I’ll be arriving during the first week of June, staying at a short term apartment until we find a long term rental that is to our liking and fits our budget. That may also be hindered/influenced by the possibility of Cristina coming to live with me in the late Fall of this year or the beginning of next year. Even though that has been a known possibility, my dad isn’t too keen on the idea now. We’ll see what happens in a couple months! We haven’t chosen a short term apartment yet -- hopefully me and me dad’ll have that done and over with finally tomorrow.
6. Once in Miami I’ll start going to math review classes at the college. I don’t consider myself a total ignorant about math, I’m actually not that bad -- but going through almost six months without studying a whole lot of math (I honestly tried but it’s darn hard without no one pressuring you!), it tends to become a blur, even the things you use to be good at. So I need that  “refresh” button pressed in my brain!
7. Uuuuh, I’m tired. I could talk about a lot of other things, but it’s gonna get late and I still need to get my bum in the shower. I’ll just finish this post saying I discovered this awesome web comic this morning and could not stop reading (unless I was forced to). It’s called Hanna is Not a Boy’s Name. This title doesn’t say everything, but it says great humor, which you’ll notice once reading it. At the beginning that may be what it seems, just humor -- but upon reading more it’s got a great set of characters and an interesting story. Not to mention humor!! (Sorry, I like things that make me laugh.) So check it out and see if it’s your cup of tea. It also has rock-your-socks artwork and awesome coloring. Hmm.. I should make a post on all the web comics I love and recommend. That’s be fun!
