There's a long-running gag about Star Trek, how it's always the Red Shirts (security) who end up killed on the away missions, most of which - quite often - include crew who have no call being there (why, for instance, does the captain go so often?)

That's the starting point for this novel, which imagines that the lower-deck crew are well aware of this fact, and thus do their utmost to avoid ever being selected to go on an away mission.

Very self-aware, in other words, although it could probably do with being a little bit shorter than it actually is - drop the Codas at the end, maybe?

Addicting!
I have been playing Disney Emoji Blitz for well over a year now and am still in love with it. I love that I can take the emojis I earn and use them in texts (nerd alert: I am a self-proclaimed Disneyholic)! And there are always new emojis being added and challenges that reset daily, so there's no sense of being stuck in one place to me. Through all my app-hunting, this is by far one of my favorites!

Always watch this with my boyfriend and we find it completely hilarious. Each series contains a selection of 5 comedians (some better known than others) competing to complete various tasks. Always hilarious & interesting to watch. The variation between male and female comedians, as well as some being better known than others means we get to see these people being more themselves and means we can discover new comedians. Highly recommend as it is so funny, it never fails to make me laugh

It has gotten too political. (0 more)
I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook, I love the videos and random funny stuff that people post. As well as being able to keep up with family and friends I can't visit as much as I'd like to. But all the political ranting and name-calling is getting so old I sometimes find it hard to even look at the app on my phone.

Gameplay
Good, but not exactly original.
A well made but dull addition to the Tomb Raider franchise.

The game itself is well made, but it has lost the charm of the original games. The game, like the first in the prequel trilogy, boasts its "free-roam" option, which doesn't really add much to the game or the story.

There's also very little in the way of tomb raiding, with tombs being fun challenges reminiscent of the original puzzles, but feeling like little more than an afterthought as something they should probably put in.

The Vamps - Night and Day album review
This album, being the third album created by British boyband - The Vamps, is such an amazing album with relaxing music as well as amazing upbeat tunes to enjoy. If you're looking for new pop music, this album is highly reccomended to you, especially to teenagers.

Movie Favorite

"I’m a huge fan of Nagisa Oshima, and Empire of Passion and Violence at Noon are two of my favorites of his that Criterion has released. They give a good example of both his shifting stylistic capabilities as well as his consistently provocative and trenchant thematic tendencies. While both these films deal with elements of sexual obsession, predation, and social hegemony, on the surface they are totally distinct, Empire being a gorgeous, classically styled ghost story and Violence at Noon being a fractured, modernist New Wave masterpiece."
