A to Z Challenge 2015: U - Underworld

Happy Friday everyone!

Only a few more days to go.

Won't it feel like such an accomplishment once you make it? I know it will for me.

First of the Underworld series, this 2003 release introduced me to the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale, and made vampires cool and dark and mysterious again.

So today's 2015 April A to Z Blogging Challenge story for the letter U:

Underworld

Here is the summary from IMDB:

Selene, a beautiful vampire warrior, entrenched in a war between the vampire and werewolf races. Although she is aligned with the vampires, she falls in love with Michael, a human who is sought by werewolves for unknown reasons.

Director: Len Wiseman
Writers: Kevin Grevioux (story), Len Wiseman (story), Danny McBride (story & screenplay)
Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Shane Brolly

That's it! Only one more day until the final break.

A to Z Challenge: U - Ululation

Ululation

We're getting so close to the end. It's going to feel very strange, to not have these easy posts to write every morning. To not feel obligated to visit as many blogs as possible each day.

If you're taking part in the challenge, then you'll probably want to prepare for the reflections post on May 7th (see the badge over there on my sidebar).

ul·u·la·tion [uhl-yuh-ley-shun] n. the act of howling, wailing, or lamenting loudly

Synonyms: I don't think there are any real direct synonyms for this word, but the internet claims they are: howling, wailing

Etymology: 1590s, from L. ululationem (nom. ululatio) "a howling or wailing," noun of action from pp. stem of ululare "ululate," a reduplicated imitative root (cf. Gk. ololyzein "to cry aloud," Skt. ululih "a howling," Lith. uluti "howl," Gael. uileliugh "wail of lamentation," O.E. ule "owl").
