I had therapy yesterday and we talked about something that I am starting to feel terribly bad about and it's not very funny although for a while I was laughing about it. Dr. Moore made me realize how wrong I was to share the thought and now I just don't know how to take off the table. I think I'm going to avoid it and see if it won't go away. She'd be really proud of me taking that route too. Damn, what a mess.
I finally got my big Christmas present hung and displayed in my bedroom. I like it very much. D done good. I love my poster. My only wish is that I had had one of the 11.21.08 posters too. I would have put them right next to one another. But that is probably a greedy thought. I love what I have. Thank you Puppy.
So I was up all night reading Rachel Caine. I finished Lord of Misrule and found the first three chapters of Carpe Corpus on her website. I liked many many many things about Misrule. I did think it needed more Shane but I would probably think that regardless of how many pages he graced. It was strange that the entire books spans about 3 days. It feels like it should be many more. A lot happens. And just when I start grumbling that it seems she will never turn 17, I see that her birthday is the first day of the next book. So it then staggers me to realize that months pass between Misrule and Corpus. My favorite character out of Misrule isn't Shane, it is Myrnin who has some of the best lines in the entire book. My least favorite part of the book is the ending. I would really like to have them have a week solid of peace. And there are 5 more Morganville books. I can't even fathom the sexual tension between Shane and Claire in book 10. Unless she starts writing cut scenes. Come on cut scenes. Shane deserves some nookie.
The book I'm going to be starting soon is Sunshine by Robin McKinely. D spotted it at the bookstore because of the cover. When he read the backcover he knew I would be into it because there are vampires. So we will see what it's like. Although I haven't read any of it today. I slept late and then have been playing on the KMM message board. I always feel like a twit on message boards. But I have been sporting my love for Barrons and explaining how I think making Jericho be a vampire or a werewolf would be so mundane and wrong. I hope the story doesn't take that road. Some girl suggested that he will be something unique and I hope she is right. Something unique and powerful. Hello, is it August 25 yet? Only 230 days. I think that it was longer when I started counting down Twilight. See not long at all.... and the wait until City of Glass? Just 76 days. I can't wait. I'm vibrating with anticipation.
This week Possession comes out. It has Lee Pace and Sarah Michelle Gellar and I'm really looking forward to it. I love me some Lee Pace, although he forgives me for not watching Pushing Daisies this year. I don't know where it is opening yet but I think the boy will be taking me to see it. I would also like to go and see Twilight sometime this weekend. It would make easy if we could movie hop but Twilight isn't up in a lot of different places anymore. So we will just have to wait and see.
Thursday night D and I are going to the Staples Center to see the Ducks play the Kings. Go Anze and Raitis. I would like to be able to stay up the entire game. We'll have to try it out as a new thing. There is just something embarassing about falling asleep at a sporting event. A year ago I would have been all for the Ducks but then they traded Andy. I have man-loyality. And Teemu and Beauchmin aren't playing. It leaves little to be excited about. Hell, they don't even have Bertuzzi for me to be excited about someone hitting. But it will be a good game. We will have fun.
I had a really nice weekend. Saturday Belle came over and we all went
bowling and it was a slaughter. To think I took classes for bowling. Pathetic. I should stick to reading. But then we came back to the apartment and Belle gave me my birthday present and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! It was a hardcover copy of City of Bones. I most love it. It smells good too. Pulpy, as it should be. But now I have the core of my set. I just have to get the third book now and it will be most glorious. Thank you so much Belle. I love it so much. It was >the perfect gift<. D really should have beat you to it.Anyway after all the fuss we sat down to watch the first 5 episodes of SYTYCD Canada. The first 4 episodes are the ones that generally drive me nuts. It's all the auditions and I would just as soon as see the real dancing then watch all the half assers. It just brings me no joy to watch the dancing dipshits. So I was a little over tired and rubbed the wrong way by the time it got down to the top 20. I like Nico and Arassay and Danny and Allie. I don't mind Lisa and Vincent, they are probably the better dancers but they are just unattractive as all hell. I like the pretty. It did strike me that they didn't have any b-boys or hip hoppers in the top 20. It tells me that all the hardy ones are in America. That's certainly sad. I like to think of Canada as a hope to which my country could aspire. This kind of weakness with all they wishy washy contemporary dancers is inexcusable.
Sunday night we went to the Sharks game at the Staples Center. It was interesting seeing Rob Blake dressed up in teal. And the poor man, he couldn't touch the puck without being booed very very loudly. Kings fans apparently hate him as much as they loved him. It's not like it's his fault he didn't wake up one day and decide to be a Shark. Of course no one wants to be on the Kings so that should be taken into account. It's the nature of the beast I guess. As for the rest of the game, all I have to say is that games where Nabby isn't in goal are infinitely shittier. If I had known that Nabby wasn't going to be between the pipes I would have had D take Paul. We know this for next time. I spent the night watching Kopi skate and then breaking glass with his stick. A temper tantrum that the A should bank. But it's Kopi and his feet alone make me tolerate a lot that I wouldn't from someone else. But he is the only reason to ever watch the Kings. The game was a one goaler. It was hardly offensive from either side and maybe both teams were tired of one another as it was the second night of a two-nighter. Who can say. I just know a few facts that I will impart... Boucher is a crap goalie and I will never like his goalie style. Kopi is sex on skates. Joe didn't show up to play. Cheechoo has a fire. JR will check everyone on the other team... and that might go for the goalie too. Kaspar should play like that in every game. Of course when the rookie is your only goal, some others aren't showing up in skates. I miss Lubo. And how long until Torrey
