The Thief Lord

The Thief Lord is set in Venice and is about a group of runaway kids who steal things and sell them for money. Prosper and Bo had run from their aunt and uncle and met this group of kids. They are almost a family. The head of the family would have to be Scipio AKA the Thief Lord. He does most of the stealing. A greedy shopowner decides to have them steal something for a client and they accept the job. The item turns out to be a missing part from a magical merry-go-round which can turn kids into grown-ups and grown-ups into kids. Scipio and the shopowner tried it out but they break it and have to live with their changes. One chapter can be about one characters work, the next can be about anothers. I personally think that is a good thing. The characters are well defined, it has a good plot with just a touch of magic added to extra flair.

Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy (DS)

This is a very good game. My favorite character that I have so far is Darth Vader. The game is good because you get to go to all the places in the movie. You also get to customize your own characters like you can give him new clothes, new heads and weapons. You can also battle your friends in the Bounty hunter Battle Arena. The game is based on the original Star Wars movies. Chewbacca can rip other peoples arms out.
Bottom Line: I found this game very enjoyable. Grade: B+

The Killers: Sawdust

The Killers third album Sawdust is just a compilation of B-sides and rarities. The song Tranquilize features Lou Reed and there is an extra long version of Mr. Brightside on it. But those are like the only bright spots on this album. The other songs just didn't cut it. Out of Hot Fuss, Sams Town and Sawdust, Hot Fuss is still the best Killers album out there.
Bottom line: For sure the worst of the three albums. Grade: C+

To Test Or Not To Test

Testing medicine on animals is a fairly controversial subject. Though it has helped with many discoveries. I personally think that this is wrong. First because it is downright cruel. Scientists can deliberatly make an animal sick and if the medicine doesn't work, the animal will die. That thought makes me sick. Second, the testing can harm them. Their bodies might not be used to this. Why would you want to go so low just for medical purposes? Third, how do you know the animal is okay with having a drug injected into them? That is like an animal doing the same thing to us when we clearly don't want them to do it. Plus there might be some thing else we can test on. We might not find out for a long time.
