Kikipop Diner Doll Review: Cherry Pie (with video)

En français
Today, I'm reviewing the new Kikipop KP Diner Cherry Pie doll.
I already opened her box in the live video here. If you want to check that out.

She is one of the three Kikipop diner dolls with Cream Soda and Pink Cream Soda. She arrived home a few days ago to join her friends.
 She comes with extra pony tails, bows and a waitress hat for her hair, a dress, an apron, socks, shoes, wrist warmer and a tray and piece of cherry pie on a plate. It seems to me that her skin is a bit darker and more orange than that of the other kikis.

Here is the video

Book Review: Origin by Dan Brown (with video)

The last Dan Brown book came out of October 3rd and of course I had to get it and read it immediately.
I'm a bit on the fence about this book I have to admit. There are a lot of thing that I like about it but as a part of the Robert Langdon series, it falls a bit short from the previous books.
I wanted the thrill of looking for the clue and decoding all the symbolism but it wasn't there. Instead, this book takes you through a race against the clock let by a computer. I think you can say that Origin stand for the Origine of life but also for Dan Brown going back to his original theme of writing about computer and science fiction.
I wasn't prepared for that.
The thing is if it isn't a Robert Langdon book, it's still a good book, though it was a bit predictable.
The threat to religion this time is science, or more accurately the grudge of an atheist using science to kill the religious idea of genesis. I mean there are already a lot of Christian who believe in Evolution as a fact without turning down the rest of their religion. The idea that knowing for sure what the start of live was would kill religion as a whole is a bit presumptuous but it still might do it for some people. The thing with this book is that it also uses the fear of technological progress. Just like previous Dan Brown book. The computer are going to be starter than you and they are going to want to kill you, which sort of annoys me a little because it's just so easy. It would have been so much more interesting to have a real antagonist that you wouldn't get rid of by just unplugging it. In this book the human reaction to the news of the origin of life is totally tuned down which is a bit of a shame.

Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 143

Welcome to a new part of Vampire Heart unedited. Have you been bitten yet?
Sign up to be part of our awesome Vampire Friday blog hop team! You know you want to!

Summary of the previous episodes: Viorel has been tortured by his supposed family who wanted to have him burn in the sun. Strangely enough the sun didn't burn him as expected but Viorel has no memory of who he is. Following the advises of his supposed father, he left Sighișoara and is now traveling to the West. After some skirmish in a previous city, he found refuge on a boat. Viorel is now in Vienna. The little problem is that the guy at the inn was a bit of an asshole and helped capture Viorel thinking he was a vampire, which he is but nobody needs to know. Now there is a huge man (which I call the colossi) taking care of Viorel and a priest. They brought a girl. Torture my holy water... Fail. Viorel managed to confuse everyone, now he would like to get out of here. But the girl seems pretty useless. They still managed to escape and he left the girl to the care of the boat lady before going back to have two words with his captors but his power of persuasion were failing him. The priest wanted to crack a deal but Viorel is not really up to help his enemies. He finally got some blood but he can't risk to stay in Vienna. He travel to Linz were he stays a bit to learn German.
Viorel wanted to go to Praha but redirect himself toward Augsburg instead where he wants to get a horse, except that the horses are a bit scared of his vampirism and maybe something else. Viorel is really not a horse expert. Then he comes into an altercation with couple of people, he wants some fear in his blood. The girl Viorel has found seemed to enjoy the game. Viorel prepares for the nightmares that come with a feast of blood, in a rush to leave, he cross the dukedom of Lorrain.
We introduced Sorina, three weeks after the beginning of Viorel's escape.
Viorel dreamed of Sorina and woke up not really remembering anything. Traveling to Paris, he arrives at "La cour des miracles". He is rescued by a stranger who turned out to be Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist he was looking for. Nicolas does some strange experiment without Viorel's agreement. Some people are looking for Nicolas's secrets. On the other side of Europe, Sorina awakes and Viorel's past in haunting him. Viorel discovered that he can change into a wolf but that's not the easiest thing to handle.

Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left of last week


I only waited about half an hour before he appeared. He was in fact taller than the one I already killed but not by that much. He had the light walking way of a vampire who had just fed, the way he walked I could deduce that he was fast and unpredictable. I didn’t think I would be able to use the surprise effect on in. The smell of discomposing vampire was more harrowing than the smell of death itself.
He rushed as he came closer and closer to the house. I decide to stay near the window until the last moment. I heard the entrance door open and rushed inside the room.

“Good evening”, I said as he walked toward the rest of the other vampire. 

He turned to me in one block like a grizzly bear. He had his legs and arm spread the same way. I remembered meeting a bear standing like that a long time ago. It was spring at that time and I was running wild. It was always a game for me to run until exhaustion until I was unable to stay where I started and where the wind ended. I had run to the river, it was still a bit frozen at a time but I really needed a drink. I had been running for a long time and I could send my mum not too far away. The others were there too, the other that I never saw, they would accompany us, to show their support but never come close. I had never discussed it with my mum, I knew that I couldn’t. She was already feeling the pain of the separation, she didn’t need to be reminded about it. My father had said that they were just spying on us, making sure that we wouldn’t go to their part of the forest but I knew he was wrong as well. They weren’t like that, they were my family. I bent myself over the water, and saw my disturbed reflection in it. Even at that time, I was attracted by reflection and mirrors but I could see myself only when I was a wolf.
Except that that time, it wasn’t my reflection which had attracted my attention, it was the reflection of the large and brown grizzly bear standing above me, ready to fall on my with both front legs. I took a little sip of water, it was cold on my tongue. I didn’t really know what to do, I was telling myself not to move that if I didn’t move it would go away but the truth was that I was absolutely paralysed with fear. I was small and fast, I looked at the bear in the water without moving an inch. The finally felt back on the floor, turned around and left. I turned around to look at the place where it had disappeared between bushes, thinking that it was going to come back any time soon and attack me. I looked at the place a long time afraid to move, afraid to run and too damn happy to ruin my chances at being alive. It never came back, I lay on the wet rocks on the river bench, I waited for it to come back I don’t know why but I felt like this encounter had been magical.

Thursday Fiction 136: Parallel Slip

Welcome back to a new part of Parallel Slip, where we follow the adventure of Frederique through her slip in different parallel universes.

 
Let's start right where we left off last week.


Thinking of which, I wondered why I didn't black out yet. It had been hours since the fire. Maybe my theory that I don't black out when I'm in danger was actually correct. Maybe there was a safely switch somehow and I wouldn't black out if someone or something could hurt me. Somehow I was grateful to have been lucid during the entire time at the bar. I couldn't let myself to imagine what they would have done to me if I was blacked out.
My other preoccupation now as I lied under my comforting blanket was that Amy would have to face Tamara alone tomorrow. I didn't know how she was going to do that. I didn't think there was a possibility for a relapse but I couldn't be sure. If Tamara was to sugar coat everything that happened and invent a story to convince Amy to get back to the group, I didn't know how Amy would react. The thing is, she was desperate enough to please her parents with good grades that she had felt the need to cheat for it. I couldn't get my head around it. It was so different from anything I had seen before. I feel asleep thinking about it hoping that I would slip to a world that would be able to give me some answers.

I didn't black out. I woke up feeling like I was late to class. The alarm hadn't ring and when I looked at it it showed seven thirty. I still had thirty minutes of sleep left. I never woke but before the alarm. I fell back on my pillow looking at the ceiling before deciding that something had to be wrong with the alarm. I stood up to get my phone on the desk and it said seven thirty two. I couldn't shake the feeling of being late away though. It was as if something was really wrong with me. I didn't black out. I had a full night sleep without blacking out and that was not normal. It never happened. The only thing that ever made the black out go away were the pills my mother had forced on me and the retribution was a sort of never ending black out afterwards. I couldn't go on a forever black out here. I took a deep breath and look at myself in the mirror. My clothes where still in the sink so I took away the water and put them to dry before going for breakfast. Amy was already in the kitchen.
"Too excited about today to sleep," she said as a form of greeting.
I realized that I wasn't the only one emotionally jumpy and so I blamed it on the party.
"What are you girls doing here?" Alex asked entering the room.
"Having breakfast before class obviously," Amy said.
He was convinced that we were going to stay up all night and would never make it to the morning class and he could have been right but a part of me was happy that we were both proving him wrong.
