Nana korobi - Ya oki

七転び八起き

Seven falls - Eight getting up. 

Perseverance.  No matter how many times you get knocked down, you get up one more time.  Not easy.

Quality TV

Watched a Carol Burnett show.  One of the skits was Jowls with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.  Hilarious.  Modern TV shows just can't compare.

Latest Review for Power Play

4 out of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed this story and the take on vampires, were-wolfs, and the other beings. I liked Arek and wish I had a friend like that. I do think the main character was a little cliche'd but she still was awesome. Maybe it was just because a man wrote her. I also felt the ending was a little sudden. All in all a good read.
