Favourite of the Week

This week I'm giving you one of my, recently discovered, favourite songs. I've probably heard it a million times before, but since my new found fascination with vampires, it just speaks to me! ;)

Vampire Heart by HIM

So, I had actually thought of making a Twilight-fanvid with this song, but a visit to YT showed me that there are a million already. Perhaps I will resolve to write something instead.

The lyrics are marvelous too:
You can't escape the wrath of my heart
Beating to your funeral song
All faith is lust for hell regained
And love dust in the hands of shame
just be brave

Let me bleed you this song
Of my heart deformed
And lead you along this path in the dark
Where I belong
Until I feel your warmth

Hold me like you held onto life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

I'll be the thorns on every rose
You've been sent by hope
I am the nightmare waking you up
From the dream of a dream of love

Let me weep you this poem
As Heaven's gates close
And paint you my soul,
Scarred and alone
Waiting for your kiss to take me back home

Hold me like you held onto life
When all fears came alive and emtombed me
Love me like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

Nothing more needs to be said. I love it, I adore it, I want my own vampire. Give him to me! ;)

A Dream Come True?

Me and my Mr Darcy, made by a new friend. :) Aren't we cute? :P

There's a New Doctor in Town...

Doctors 1-8

Or in space, rather. I've followed the new series of Doctor Who since they started in 2005. It's, I guess, one of the oldest tv- series out there. It originally aired between 1963 and 1989, but was taken up again by BBC in 2005. I have seen some of the old black and white eppies from those days, but I think I prefer the newer ones. We are now down to the 11th doctor.

The doctor is a Timelord and is travelling through space and time to, well, not really meddle, but help out. He usually travels with a companion or two. The most famous one, at least of the 2005 version, I think is Rose. She was with him for quite some time. He met her in the first season, as the 9th doctor.

The 9th Doctor is played by Christopher Eccelston. It was really my first encounter with the series and I really didn't know what to expect. But I liked what I saw. Looking back, I think he's the darker, moodier of the three I have followed. It must be hard to take a role that has been played by so many before you.

Then came he turned into the 10th Doctor, and David Tennant, and I fell truly in love with the series. I really enjoyed his quick humor and sort of geeky handsomeness. He's still funny and all, but there is something darker lurking beneath the smiling surface, which we also get to see later in the series. Being the last of one's kind cannot be easy, even if you are the Doctor. I kept on wanting him and Rose to get together for real, but it didn't happen and she ended up in another universe. Too sad really.

And now, here he is, the 11th Doctor, played by the youngish Matt Smith, well he's younger than me anyways. ;) And he's already got a good companion in Amy Pond, a fiery Scot. There's only been 3 episodes so far, but I think I like the new doctor. The concept is still the same. But I'm eager to see what will happen with Amy's wedding...

Northern Sky - North & South-video

I've been working on this fanvideo for some time, and is finally finished. I really like how this turned out. I'm reading Gaskell's novel at the moment, so I will return with something on that. I'm currently quite infatuated with the passionate Mr Thornton!

Favourite of the Week

I found, through a friend, a new fantabulous blog to follow. I'm in love with it! Check it out here. There everything between heaven and earth, and filled with crazy stuff as Hello Kitty-rifles, awkward Christmas Greetings-cards and what not. It is really worth a visit. :)

The Notebook

I have heard so much about The Notebook, and was really glad to stumble upon it on telly the other day. I had to see it. But I was gravely disappointed. I don't know why, I mean it's all there. A great love story, the regular difference in social status, the forbidden love and someone has to leave. I should like it. But I didn't. I didn't even cry, and I'm a big softy. Sure, a little teary-eyed in the end. Because, that was the best I think. Perhaps it was too predictable. There was nothing more to the story, nothing that really made it special. I thought it rather boring.

Not even Ryan Gosling or Rachel McAdams could make it come alive. The scenery was great though. I love the costumes and cars... But there it ended.

You may very well disagree with me. If you do, please leave a comment and tell me why it's supposed to be so great. Thanks! ;)
