THE STORIES:
UNTOUCHABLE By Kresley Cole
A breathtaking tale of a brutal vampire soldier about to know love for the first time…and a Valkyrie aching to be touched.
Murdoch Wroth will stop at nothing to claim Daniela the Ice Maiden — the delicate Valkyrie who makes his heart beat for the first time in three hundred years. Yet the exquisite Danii is part ice fey, and her freezing skin can’t be touched by anyone but her own kind without inflicting pain beyond measure. Soon desperate for closeness, in an agony of frustration, Murdoch and Danii will do anything to have each other. Together, can they find the key that will finally allow them to slake the overwhelming desire burning between them?

I stayed up late last night, or should I say this morning? I got started watching a movie and could not turn away even though I came in midway through and usually, that is enough to turn me away. Anyway, the movie is called Oldboy and it is a subtitled Korean movie.
This movie has a lot of twists and turns, some of them totally unexpected and the cinematography is fantastic. Very artfully done. I guess that is why it was awarded the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. The movie is loosely based on a Japanese manga and is the second installment of the Vengeance trilogy.
If you don’t mind spoilers, click here for the Wikipedia Site for Oldboy which provides a really good synopsis of the movie’s intricate plot.
One site that I have been subscribed to for a while because it has been tremendously helpful in my blogging attempts is Kikolani.com. Whether you’ve been blogging a while or just getting started, Kikolani.com has a ton of useful information for you. One series that I look forward to from Kikolani.com is her weekly Fetching Friday post. Every Friday, she posts about other blogs that she finds interesting that week. Kristi, the author of Kikolani.com, is an avid stumbler and Fetching Friday is a roundup of all the blogs she stumbled on.
I like Fetching Fridays because she organizes the posts she finds into categories that range from blogging, photography, to free seo tools. Here are how she breaks down some of the articles she stumbles on:
Blogging & Writing
Business & Finance
Graphic & Web Design
Make Money Online
Personal Development, Self Improvement & Health
Photography & Digital Art
Seach Engines/SEO
Social Media
Tech Security
Wordpress
Once in a while she would also post about weird and bizarre things she finds online. I don’t always have time to read all the links, but of the ones that I have followed, I was never disappointed in the content and always found something new and interesting.
Oh, and if you’re interested, Kristi also hosts the Do-Follow Blog Directory. If you don’t know what do-follow means, get on over there and learn more about it.
