Knowledge from the Most Unlikely Places
Thanks to the Smart Bitches, today I learned all about Haka and the All Blacks rugby team.
A little poking around on the interwebz netted me this cool video:
That is sooo cool. I think I've just discovered the REAL roots of crunk dancing! Watch some of those moves turn up in "Stomp the Yard II - Maori Boogaloo."
Who says you can't learn cool shit ( Read more... )

LoL, couldn't resist. In my defence, they are the national rugby team. (I don't understand the sport, but I love watching the highlights on the six o'clock news. The skipper's pretty good-looking too)
And currently, I'm slogging through Lydia Joyce's Shadow of the Night. It's gothic historical romance apparently, and I can't say I'm liking it too much. On the other hand, it's put-downable, so I actually study.
Just finished Suzanne Brockmann's Force of Nature.Extreme Danger by Shannon McKenna (Can we say lots of shagging?) and the third book in Jacqueline Carey's Imriel trilogy awaits. I've also (stupidly) purchased Nauti Nights by Lora Leigh (without having read the first book in the trilogy...for some reason, Nauti Night appealed to me more) and the first three of The BulletCatchers Series by Roxanne St. Clair. I'm a bit concerned about The BulletCatchers Series because I have no idea what they're about, but hey, the blurbs and amazon reviews sound good.
Hmm...maybe that's why I'm so antsy? I've been jittery all week since I ordered that Lora Leigh novel, but tomorrow, I'm going to the Post Shop to pick it up (Sounds weird, but I have my stuff delivered there. The people know me, or they should, considering how I worked there last summer).

Have you read the other Troubleshooter novels? I have a few, but I've yet to read any of them. I got the first one (Unsung Heroes, I think) from Paperbackswap a couple of weeks ago. And promptly threw it into the TBR pile. NO telling when I'll actually get to it.
Lora Leigh is a'ight. I read Dangerous Games and thought it was mediocre. I have a lot of her books though and I also have Nauti Nights/Nauti Boys on ebook. That stuff is just trashy trash...but hey, you knew that already. :-)
The Bullet Catchers I read about in Romantic Times. You'll have to let me know how those are. I'm currently reading "Fantasy Lover" by Kenyon since things are about to whip up into full-on frenzy for Acheron in a week or so. I've only read Dream Hunter which was unremarkable, so I've no idea what's going on in the Dark Hunter world, thus me starting now with the first one.
Everyone else seems to love them though. So far, FL is entertaining, but I've definitely read better. That said, Julian does kind remind me of Rhage in a way.

Yeah, I've read some of the other TS novels! The earlier ones have a different tone to the last three though...they're a bit more "action-based" I guess. A lot of fans of SB don't like her last three novels, mostly because of the slight change in tone, but for some reason, those have appealed to me more. Maybe because I enjoy the pithy one liners? Hm...
Will do. Now that they're on their way, I'm excited about getting the BC novels again.
OMG. If Julian reminds you of Rhage, Kyrian, who's Julian's best friend and the hero of Night Pleasures (which is after FL) will really remind you of Rhage. He's like Rhage, if Rhage was a former General in times of yore. Incidentally, Kyrian is one of my favourite SK heroes. Funny that.

Kyrian is like Rhage too!?
::thud::
I fear that Rhage has ruined me for most romance novel heroes. He IS the standard as far as I'm concerned, especially with the paranormal stuff. That said, I do like Frank's Nightwalkers and Feehans's Ghostwalkers. Those guys are pretty awesome too.
