The blood of the angel
I know I can't leave this alone but I really love this book and listening to it at the gym lets me pick up things I never would have before. Last night I got Valentine's answer to who's blood runs through Jace's veins and he says the blood of the angel. Jace takes this to mean he has shadowhunter blood but D has a theory that Jace is an experiment of Valentine to make the Angel on earth again. I don't know what to think about what Jace is, but I do know that he isn't Valentine's son. Which causes me great happy. The one thing was I forget how much Clary drives me to drink. She blames Jace because she loves him and for what happens to Simon and for the formation of the earth and there only being 24 hours in a day. I hate it. But without it I wouldn't love the end of the book so much. Because when she is going home after meeting with Jace and she is just devestated that is the money shot for me. I love her so much as she cries. Only 67 days until City of Glass. I know that there are three things that I hope happens in that
book. Jace and Clary are together in the end. That they retrieve the Mortal Cup and Mellartech (God I think I butchered that name). And lastly Jocelyn wakes up and she and Luke are an item. I already hate Sebastian and I haven't been introduced to him.
I finally read #3 of Spike: After the Fall this morning. I have #4 with me too but I only read the one. I don't know I didn't like it as much as the other two. I thought it dragged a little. I did like the kiss between Spike and Illyria but it had too little of her in it to be a really good issue. Hopefully #4 which is the end of the series will be better. And I want it said... comic book Gunn sucks. I haven't liked new vampire Gunn at all. I want softie/hardass Gunn. The one that was caught singing the Pirates of Penzance. That was the Gunn that I liked. I also read my first issue of Lords of Avalon Knight of Darkness. I forget how much I didn't like the beginning of that book. I do like Varian but all that stuff with Narishka, who is simply the most hatable book character in all of Sherrilyn Kenyon's books. Well maybe Satara and Stryker. When the woman wants to write evil she really can do it.
Last night I watched the new Guild eisode and it was a filler episode. It had a couple funny parts but ultimately it was missing the wallop of previous episodes. Zaboo was his normal annoying part. Vork had some chuckle lines. But there was no Clara, Bladezz or Tink. I give it a 3 out of 5 stars. Wait I'm giving stars now? Who do I think I am?
This entry that I'm writing is 2/3 negativity I should balance it out with some good stuff. I am sore from working out last night. I did 50 minutes of strength training and 50 on the bicycle. I feel like I had a good workout. I'll see what today is like. I plan to just do cardio, no weights. Maybe I will do an hour. But working out does make me feel better. I'm still having low days but I try to do the gym anyway. Maybe with enough working out I won't need meds anymore.
Last night I read a historical romance that was suprisingly really good. It was by Kresley Cole, who now writes paranormal romances, and it had a good but not overweening amount of angst and obstacle but I liked it. I even liked the female character and it's a rare book where I like the female lead. But they introduce this cousin of Grant, the hero, and he's funny and amiable. You fall in love with him and then in the middle of the book he's abducted and forced to work a freight ship and they never find him and your just sort of like 'what?'. I thought for sure there would be another book but there isn't. It's the damnedest thing. I'm not sure I like not having resolution about cousin Ian. And what happened to Erica, Ian's love? YOU NEVER KNOW. Impossible. Wait this isn't getting any more positive.
Oh wait I know something positive. I am playing my arch nemesis on my Fantasy Hockey League and last night was a big face off because Pittsburgh and DC were playing each other. Now you have to understand that I love the Pens, they are probably my favorite team and Geno, Evgeni Malkin is one of my favorite players. After Vesa he is my favorite player. But he's on this Down with the Ducks team and I love kicking this guys ass. So I had to lean toward routing for the Caps. Not a problem because I love Brooks Laich and Ovechkin and watching Federov play. So it was a tense matchup and they were playing goal for goal until the third period when the Caps just dominated and they one the game. I'm still up on Down with the Ducks, which is just a stupid name, and I hope to keep it up. I was doing it good until I disparged about his dumb name. It was almost positive.
I'm at work with David today. We have to see the allergist this afternoon so I had to go to work with him. My plan is to sit and read. I brought Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause and In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, so I have to decide which of the two I will read and I have Spike #4 and LOA #2 as well. I don't know I don't know which to read first. Then I'm going to lunch at Mika.... mmmmm veggie rolls. Then later it's back to the gym and then snuggled in for my day to myself.
I wonder why all my entries jump from topic to topic. I think it is because I lost the art of segue somewhere. I am just so eager to get all my thoughts out that they poop out of my head in little rabbit piles. I'd worry but I don't think anyone reads this on any regular basis. Well maybe Alison and I love her for replying to my posts.
I'll work on being more on the flipside rather than on the side of evil.

I think I'm somewhat right about Jace, it doesn't make sense for it to be just about being nephilim. For the most part, 75% of the characters introduced are that way... the line Valentine seems to have more meaning. Maybe he had access to and was experimenting with the mortal instruments on his "children"?
