Is it Tuesday already? Time is passing so very quickly. Maybe this bodes well for all the books coming out that seem so far away right now. I did meet with Jamie on Sunday at Kamal Palace in LB. I should have had D get a picture of us together. I didn't think of it at the time. I wouldn't mind seeing more of her. It's nice that she drives now. Maybe we can go for sushi after she and D get off work one of these days. A Monday maybe.

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.

The Fall was even better the second time. David and I went to see it with Susan and Belle this afternoon and it was as good, in my opinion, as it was the first time. I got to look more at the locations and the scenes. I wish I could find screen caps of this film. There are too many places where I want to expound on the camera angles or the composition. It's such a lovely movie.

And then there is Lee Pace. I loved him in Wonderfalls. He was awesome playing off of Caroline Dhavernas. And I think he is brilliant in Pushing Daisies. I was really disappointed in the shortened season because of the strike. It's wonderful to have him star in a movie. I'm having mixed feelings about Possession because I don't watch scary movies. I missed Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, I'll have to Netflix it.

Speaking about movies David and I are watching Can't Hardly Wait and it is such a six degrees of separation film. Lauren Ambrose gets licked by Eric Balfour who plays her boyfriend in Six Feet Under. Seth Green hits on Paige Moss who plays Veruca in Buffy. Also Amber Benson is in one of the kitchen scene intrigued by a banana. Of course those two are connected via Willow in Buffy. One of the guys that hits on Amanda after her big confrontation with Mike is Owen from Never Kill a Boy on the First Date from Buffy Season 1. And then there is Ethan Embry, I can't connect him with anyone else but he is in Empire Records which I love. And while I'm mentioning connections and nonconnections, I must mention Mike Dexter, aka Peter Facinelli, the man who plays Carlisle Cullen. This movie is awesome. Oh! and I just noticed Jason Segel too.


Speaking of celebrities, I had a badger moment at Mann Chinese 6 in Hollywood. David saw Robert LaSardo a little over a week ago in Santa Monica and today he was in Hollywood. He's smaller than he looks on TV. His tattoos are really dark and he is just covered all over his torso and arms. He's a bit menacing but so small that it takes away the edge. I was very happy to see someone. I rarely do. Woohoo for a Nip/Tuck spotting though.

Today has been a good day. I plan to read more in Sebastian after the movie. I might try to get some emails done. Just try to keep today mellow.

I saw The Fall tonight and it was the best movie that I've seen all year. It just blew me away. Lee Pace plays Roy Walker, an actor/stunt, man who meets Alexandria, Catinca Untaru, a young child who is recovering from a fall. He starts telling her stories and they bond as his tales take them away to a fantasy place. Upon learning that she has stolen communion wafers from the priest he asks her to steal drugs for him and their relationship gets more complex. I won't divulge the rest of the story because I think everyone should go and see the movie for themselves. Lee Pace is ungodly wonderful in it, playing the broken and reluctant hero to a young girl. He has a way of acting with his face that is superb. Catinca Untaru is cute and funny and she just shines in this story. The two have the most incredible chemistry it's like magic. The film was shot in 18 countries and the locations were just breathtaking. The costumes, which were showcased in the lobby and D took pictures of and I am hoping he will post on his Vox, were just stunning. The wedding dress of Evelyn is elaborate and gorgeous. There is one scene in the beginning with Alexander the Great in an orange desert that looks like a whimsical production. Going back to scenery there is a castle surrounded by a blue city, that I really liked and an island that is just out of a dream. I'm so excited by what I saw tonight. I wish it were a book, because I just want to relive it again. Maybe if I am really good, D will take me to see it once more before it's out of the theater. I know for a fact that I will own it on DVD when it comes out. I hope it wins lots of awards.

The other big news of the night was the Comic Con info on Twilight. Greetings from Twilight announced that Rob, Kristen, Taylor, Cam, Rachelle, Edi, Catherine and Stephenie will be doing a panel on Thursday and that they would be doing autographs and an eyebrow raising 'more' while there. Summit has it's own booth and that is going to make me a happy girl. Hopefully marketing will have Twilight giveaways. I am so looking forward to this that after hearing about it I immediately put myself into panic because I realized that we would only be driving in Thursday morning. So D and I discussed it and we are going to call the hotel in the morning and see if we can't get a room for Wednesday night. We'll get our badges Wednesday night and then we can get into the hall early Thursday morning so I can be as close to the front as I can get. D even said he would stand in the autograph line to save me a space so I don't miss anything. These are the reasons I married this man, because he really takes care of me when something means a lot to me. I am all sorts of excited about what this all means. I am hoping that they will have something to show us at the panel other than the fight scene. I want a little dazzle. And Comic Con isn't really that far away anymore. The schedule will be out in the next few weeks and then the planning will be in gear. This year it is going to be so good. My one goal is to meet Rob. I'd really like to meet Catherine too, but Rob is my main attraction. And I want Belle to meet him. I told her tonight that it has never occurred to me that she wouldn't be beside me when I met him. Oh god, I am such a fangirl. It's alright though, I accept that I am like this and it is going to work for me this Comic Con.

Pride is this weekend and Sunday is the parade and I would really like to go and see it finally. It means waking up early which I proved I could do last week. I want to take tons of pictures. We will have to see if it happens.
