Wordpress

Welcome to Wordpress. 

Basics

Wordpress is the second Blog-Site I've ever used. (x)
It was a bit strange after Blogspot because it has on the one side so much opportunities like the countdown, but on the other side the design is really restricted - except you pay money.
Also it was the first blog where I had actual not-known-to-me Followers, what is quite an achievment for a little girl like me :)

Using

After you mastered the critical first 10 Minutes Wordpress is really easy to use.
You just write your post into a given formular, click on post and that's it.
Easier than easy.
There are some complication with the design, expecially when you like it on the one side easy to understand, but have on the other side loads of stuff that you want to put in your side bar.
What I find strange is the fact that you can reblog posts from others - something that in my opinion doesn't belong on a normal blog site. But well, what can you do?

Pro and Cons

Like I said before, it's pretty easy to use, especially when you've already encountered other blog-sites.
But, and that's a definite Con, there are really few designs to choose if you don't want to pay for your blog. If you're a Free Time Blogger like me it could be difficult to adjust, but you'll manage. 

Inu Yasha

Doggy

Basics

This is a Manga serie about a jewel that can destroy the world if it falls into the wrong hands.
So, first things first: Manga is the japanese comic. It's a style to draw pictures, a style I personally like but I dunno about you.
There are the books (german Version 56) and the films (dunno how much, but over 100 plus 5 longer movies). I started with watching the movies, recognized my mistake because the movies aren't really in the whole storyline of Inu Yasha. Then I moved on to the films, each one about 20 Minutes I guess. But my internet connection was so bad that I continued with the books, which are also faster to finish than the films :)
But it's your choice!

Characters

Inu Yasha - Half Dog Demon that falls in love with the Miko Kikyo, after they're divorced through Naraku they kill each other, he later helps Kagome to find the splitters of the Jewel of the 4 souls, his sword Tessaiga gets a lot of powers throughout the series

Kagome - reincarnation of the Miko Kikyo, even looks like her, has some of her powers, she accidentally shatters the Jewel and than tries to find the splitter together with Inu Yasha, fights with bow

Story

Kagome is a normal girl that live in Japan in a Shinton Shrine.
One day she accidently falls into a well and finds herself in the Middle Ages. She meets Inu Yasha, a Half Demon, who is trapped to a tree by a sacred arrow. She releases him to save her life from a monster and, after a while and because they have to work together, they become friends.
The Demon, who has threatend her life is killed by Inu Yasha, but not before it frees the Shikon no Tama that was inside of Kagomes body.
In the following episodes Kagome accidently destroys the Jewel and it shatters into splitter. She gets the task to reunit the splitter of the Shikon no Tama because even one little piece of it can turn a simple demon into a life threathing Monster.
On this journey she meets a lot of different Demons, Monsters, Humans, gets new friends and new enemies, of which the worsest is Naraku, exactly the Naraku who divorced Kikyo and Inu Yasha in the first Place.
This half demon cares about nothing but the Jewel and would do everything to reunit it again.
The Fight begins!
(I can't tell the whole story of 56 books in one short post, but you're free to ask me questions :) )

Pro and Cons

You can decide if you want to watch the films (196 episodes) or read the books (56 books), but as you can see you'll be faster with the books. On the other side it is just amazing to watch all the fights and the emotional scences in full lenght as a film.
I must also admit that the whole Inu Yasha thing can be a bit addictive, but it's definitly worth it.
The movies are nice to watch, too, but they're not necessary for the actual storyline, in fact it can be a bit confusing because there are maybe some characters that appear later in the Series.

Funny and awesome Quotes

I read it in german so I can't come up with any quotes, I'm sorry.
I'll try to figure out how to find some and post them later! 

Dr. Who Volume 5

Geronimo! 

BASICs

So, that is the 5th Season of the wonderful Show Dr. Who. 
The Doctor has regenerated to a new face (Matt Smith) and has to save the world from Aliens, who are about to incinerate the Earth. Again. I know. 
He also has some new companions, this time two! 
The Doctor takes Amy Pond away in the Night before her Wedding and later even her fiance Rory Williams!
Yes, her fiance.
And yes, that means trouble. Big trouble!
Oh and the Mystery of Professor River Song (Season 4) will be revealed!

Characters

The Doctor - the Eleventh Regeneration of the Doctor, played by Matt Smith, with a remarkable chin
Amy/Amelia Pond - the Doctors companion, first meets him at an age of 8
Rory Williams - Amys fiance, easily frightened
River Song - Spoilers :)

Story

The ast Regeneration of the Doctor was very painful and there was no one who stayed with him to the very end. Nevertheless just after he is (almost) able to stay he is off to have new adventures, this time with Amelia Pond, a scottish girl.
The First time she meets the Doctor she is only what? 8 years old?! But their meeting is heartwarming and very funny!
There's a bit of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff but in the end he travels the universe with 23 year old Amy Pond, the now grown-up Amelia. She is about to get married and the Doctor has to work hard to give her her wedding and save the world - the second completely incidentally of course.

Pro and Cons

For some it's going to be strange to get used to a completely new Doctor, but it will happen pretty fast. Matt Smith plays this role in a amazing way and he's the Doctor: So there's nothing to be afraid of!
It's a bit unserious and too funny to watch the Doctor, he's a bit of a child in this regeneration, even more than the Tenth One, but on the other side the season can cheer you up quickly.

The Doctor: "Everything's going to be fine."

The Doctor: "Her and me, we're safe. Wanna know why? She sent for back up. "

The Doctor: "No, but I've put a lot of work into it."

The Doctor: "Didn't anyone ever tell you? There's one ever tell you? There's one thing you never put in a trap if you're smart. If you value your continued existenxe, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never, ever put in a trap."
