I'm a little more at ease now that I've found out that Mays actually died of natural causes and not from the plane incident. I'm still a little sad over all the deaths that happened over the course of last week, but I'm moving on instead of dwelling.


First off and foremost, I'm pretty much proud of myself over the fact that I have finally, after a whole freakin' year of researching, found the name of a kickass techno song that's been buzzing in my mind ever since my ears stumbled across it. The song was only a segment from a YouTube Poop, but it definitely caught my interest the instant I heard it. I asked the dude numerous times what the name of the song was, and ever since he never replied to me back. Damn bastard. However, I decided to watch the video over again and look at the comments below to see if anyone else knew, but sure enough there wasn't. But I did get a vital clue. One guy commented to the dude asking where he got the image that the song was playing to, and said it was from a site called YTMND. And finally I was like "YEEEAH! Now we're getting somewhere!"
So I researched the images and found a YTMND Wiki thingy where it had a popular song choice soundtrack list. Looked them all up on YouTube until I came across the right song, and sure enough, my long awaited prize was there waiting for me. SCORE!!!

And here it is folks, it's called "Supernova" by Transa --> [link] (NOTE: The good part of the song doesn't start until the very middle. Be patient.)


In other news, I finally saw the movie Krabat with english subtitles, and read The Satanic Mill!!!

The book, being a children's novel, was a simple read as I had expected it to be. The characters though I wished had more depth and more descriptive suspense. I wouldn't expect anything less like that from a translation of a children's novel, but still, overall I thought the plot was well thought out and put together. Additionally, I think of it as like a Grimm's fairytale extended to 200 & someodd pages. It has its sad moments, but I can tell you one spoiler about the book...it has a happy ending.
So ja....go Krabat! UHMAZING BUUUUUUUUUUUUK!

Now the movie, I thought was an excellent film. I've heard from a lot of people who said they didn't care for it as much, mostly because the book was way better. I have to agree with them, but then again I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that a movie, 9 times out of 10, can never exceed the expectations and details of a novel it's based off of. The film left out the scenes where Krabat goes to the market place with Juro, and also left out one of the most important parts of the book where Krabat and The Master fly in the horse-drawn buggy to the royal palace, and when The Master holds a brief magic duel with Big Hat.
The acting wasn't half bad. Could have been better, but it was dramatic enough to get its point across. The costumes and makeup were very suitable for the time period, and the setting of the terrain and old mill was breathtaking. The CGI effects weren't bad either.
Overall I give it an A-
