Starborn: A Kuri Origin Story
A draft wafts through the open Build Room window, shivering the dusty curtain and slightly revealing half of a medium-sized piece of machinery hidden in the dimly lit corners of the room. Near and with his back to the window, a young professor in his early 30s stands slanted over a tabletop, where rests a vast array of blueprints, small tools and bits, in addition to a round-white-dome-like shape unnaturally glowing under the overhanging lamp.

It was a cold night. The streets were shining silver from the rain that had not stopped for a while, but it was normal for New York. A tall man stood by the window, he held a crystal glass containing whiskey and glanced down at the world below him. He wore a grey suit; his hair looked black under the dim light, and he took a sip of his whiskey.
What Made 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' a Terrible Movie
Before I delve into my own personal feeling of betrayal, I want to first state that I understand that some people did, in fact, enjoy The Last Jedi. Several of my friends went to see the film and said they thoroughly enjoyed it. I, however, had a drastically different feeling about the film. Ever since the film's release, there's been a divide in the Star Wars community over the film's reception. On popular review site Rotten Tomatoes, The Last Jedi scores a 48% audience rating, ranking it as the worst audience rated Star Wars film behind Attack of the Clones, which comes in at 57%. So even though some people, who are well within their right, enjoyed the film, here's why I feel it ranks, for me personally, as the worst Star Wars film. Yes, that's right. The worst.

Many of us can’t imagine that there are vibrations which are invisible to our own eyes and are always found around us. You will notice that there are so many things happening in your vicinity, amongst which is brainwaves or the vibrations that our minds produce. Dreadful thoughts cannot produce good results, and good quality thoughts cannot produce bad results. The moment you feel stressed or are having any other feelings, it is simply because of two things;

In quantum physics, there's a basic theory on which everything that happens in life hinges upon. Basically, the theory goes like this: everything that happens on a physical level manifests in the spiritual level. Simply — you manifest in your thoughts what you want to happen in your life, in the natural realm. This theory is known as the Law of Attraction.

#HeyKuri It was a warm spring Saturday morning when it happened. Mom and Dad were home from work, and I was glad not to be in school. The backyard was muddy and steam would roll along the blades of grass before rising up to meet the sun. Dad was cooking breakfast, while Mom rested her feet on the sofa dreamily dazed as the morning news danced across the screen.

Mystical creatures have power over and dwell within the elements Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. "Elemental" includes gnomes, sylphs, salamanders, and undines. Some Elementals can also be creatures that are spirit-like in nature and human-like in appearance. While each elemental is different and has a different personality, they tend to share characteristics with other Elementals in their element. For instance, a fire elemental is passionate and easily angered while an earth elemental is grounded and takes a lot of time to think/reflect or act. Often, Elementals are found close to a certain area where their element is most prominent, however, over the past few years they have been seen less and less. For all Elementals, it is very dangerous to your and your bloodlines' health to misuse their aid or deserve them.

#HeyKuri “Listen — Kuri,” Antonio-3K held their head in one of his gleaming metal claws, “you need to hide for a bit.” I had been the most popular actor in the galaxy for a long time, and my fans were getting too rabid. Different planetary governments were banning the premieres of my films because of the hordes which would descend to catch a glimpse of me. "Kuri Mania" had reached a fever pitch. I took a meeting with my agent at an undisclosed location away from prying eyes to discuss what to do.
Review of 'Counterpart' 1.9
With all the killings these days of expatriate Russians in London— presumably on Putin's orders, but what do I know—the doings in Counterpart and its facsimile to Cold War East and West Berlin seem ever closer to our own reality.
