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.
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.
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.
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.
