Review - B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: Gods and Monsters

B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: Gods and Monsters (B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth, #2)B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: Gods and Monsters by Mike Mignola
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well blessed be. What can I say? I'm only slightly lost because like a fool I haven't read the one before but heck if I didn't enjoy this one! I believe Abe and Liz are two of my favorite characters. And I was quite pleased with the story lines and the art work. And even though I wasn't sure what had happened before in the previous works, I was about to continue reading through this volume and get a picture of what had happened.

Poor Abe, is all I can say without letting too much go. I must say though, makes me want to get the next one just to know what's going to happen to him! As I said, he's one of my favorite characters and I'd hate that this would happen to him.

And Liz. Well, dang, I would not want to be on her bad side. Her whole story arc in the volume was intense. She doesn't take any crap and knows how to kick butt well enough to keep her head up. Though life isn't on her side, she's done as well for herself as she can while laying low.

Definitely need to pick of a hard copy at some point. And the next one as well! I just can't wait to read and find out what happens next.

Yes..... there is more! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! At some point Buffy reviews may appear. Maybe. I'm a lazy brat so you never know. Wool is next. I need to get back into reviews and I just need to stop being lazy. I'm a procrastinator extraordinaire unfortunately. Until next time!

Review - Abe Sapien Volume 2

Abe Sapien: The Devil Does Not Jest and Others Stories (Abe Sapien, #2)Abe Sapien: The Devil Does Not Jest and Others Stories by Mike Mignola
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unbelievable.... I must say I was excited when I was able to get this on Netgalley. I stopped reading everything else to read this! I must stay I wasn't disappointed.

I was enthralled with all of the stories in this volume and couldn't put it down, at all. Each was engaging and dynamic with the action. Abe's cool demeanor though is refreshing. He is wonderfully logical and though he may lose it every once in a while it's well deserved.

I love the artwork though children creep me out a little and the last story make me shudder. The monsters really weirded me out and honestly that doesn't happen often. I believe I may just have to start purchases all of these because I just want to reread them over and over and get a much better look at the artwork within the volumes.

A must read!

Noooo, I'm not dead

So far this is my final semester of college and I've been hit with senioritis.  I just don't feel like doing a lot.  I've only just started reading again and that's only because the net has been boring me.  I plan on posting at some point my reviews for 3 and 4 of Wool but I have to reread them because it's been so long!  Not cool right?

Fighting with the stupid phone company to get my phone working again.  Never go with Tracfone people.  As soon as I get the money/job I'm getting rid of them because they have the worse customer service ever.

Madness with Dinner!

Well, my madness has finally moved to food. lol My fiance had decided that she was fed up with not feeling good and decided to start a diet of sorts. Well, can't let her go it alone in this so I decided to join in in my own way. Since I'm mostly the cook I need to come up with different meal ideas that are interesting because I can't stand bland meals and neither can she. Well, this week alone she's lost over 5 pounds! Just by eating healthy and working out 4 times a week. I've lost about 4ish myself which is interesting.

Anyway.......  Tonight we had a casserole that used some of my left over stuffs from the fridge. Mostly Chicken. But hey it was awesome! And we're full. A serving is only about 4 points + by weight watchers standards. And I say about 4 because I'm not completely sure about my measurements of the noodles. Anyway.... on with the recipe!

Chicken Casserole


1 chicken breast cooked shredded
around 6 oz of No-Yolk (3 hands full honestly.  it was going to be 2 but I have small hands)
1 cup broccoli
1/2 cup onion cut
1 cup of a rainbow slaw
1 can of a healthy cream of mushroom soup
1 cup of chicken broth
1 tsp of garlic powder
1/2 pepper
5 ritz crackers
5 or 6 cherry tomatoes cut into fourths

Turn the oven to 400 to let it heat up.

Begin cooking noodles as stated on the package.  While noodles are cooking boil water and cook the broccoli till cooked through.

In a large bowl mix the mushroom soup with chicken broth garlic and pepper.  Mix till smooth then add the broccoli, slaw mix, tomatoes, chicken and onion until they're coated.  Add the noodles after they've been cooked fully and drained.  Mix it all together and poor it in a casserole dish.

Crumble the crackers over the dish and put into the oven for about 15 minutes till bubbly.

Serving is around about 2 cups I think.


I served up a fourth of my casserole dish to each of us and with half a cup of applesauce we were both full!  Sooo good!  Next time might try to crumble some bbq chips on top to spice it up.  That was her idea.  Totally a good idea!
