Oh my I am weeks behind in updating. I kind of feel like parts of my life are being failed. My apartment is a disaster area. My email commitments have gone to hell. I don't eat properly... okay I have never done that but still. For a while in January I was getting my shit together and now I am worse than ever. I am making a promise right now to post a Vox at least twice a week. Even if nothing new is happening. I can post how nothing ever strikes me as noteworthy. Oh! See? Now that is a lie. Things are noteworthy, I just always feel silly for what is of note to me. So on with this.
Last week City of Glass came out and I devoured it. Hard to believe The Mortal Instruments is over. I loved COG. There were a few places that I almost threw the book and I did scream at it some. The first half with all the Simon stuff when it was my last Jace book, annoyed. I felt so bad for Jace through out though. He more so than Clary. He's my favorite character of the three books. But I am having a hard time not writing anything that would spoil D who hasn't read it yet. I think that after he does I may have to write a play by play, chapter by chapter synopsis. For now it's a new tattoo I can't scratch.
So I have ebeen the world's worst BSG fan. I don't know what is up with me. I watched two eps and then got really stubborn. But no more. I have a plan. Nielle will be here visiting next month and we are watching all 10 eps. We can watch them 2 at a time and still have time for the Ren Faire and Salton Sea or San Juan Capistrano. I am making lots of plans for when she is here. I would take the car and drive her to some of the places alone.... but I can't handle the stress of driving anymore. Especially not in LA. So we will be stuck to the whim of D. Oh and I have to take her to Scoops for vegan ice cream for the win!
As for what I've been doing in game... well I'm a 69. Just a few tens of thousands away from lvl 70. Then all the good stuff starts. We are finishing up Nagrand... we are 2 or 3 quests away from the achievement. We have been playing a lot still with Terun/Deathtoou. We did Ring of Blood as primarily a 3 man. We needed help with the final boss and with Durn: the Hungerer. I'm always pretty amazed by what the three of us can do together. I've been having some disagreements with G since T and I started Tali. He really resents the fact that we didn't stay with him and I get it. It was a betrayal but I wouldn't have been happy in Ring of Fire. I don't know how to get that across. I have been spending a lot of time talking to Thelyon and I wish, wish, wish I could convince him to come to Tali. I don't want to pressure him but he's the kind of people I want to surround myslef with. But hey he could feel about Tali the way I feel about RoF and Warlords. Who knows. I've also been spending a lot of time with Sylianya. She is so cool. We spent the first morning killing big babies and walking to Lakeshire. The second morning we went to Exodar. And Tali... I mentioned it above but it's been a while since I last updated my Vox and I definitely never mentioned that T and I started our own guild. T and ali = Tali. It's small but growing. I hope it grows to be a very successful guild. Low key but fun.
I love this...
I have been caught in a trap and Voxing has been the last thing on my mind but I promised myself that today I was going to do it. A little too much questing and a little too little living in the real world. My life is really in the toilet.
I've been doing a real little of reading. I'm reading You Will Know Our Velocity! in 15 page segments. Jason is going to get the impression that I don't want to read it at all, which just isn't true. I just have this buggy personality and when I obsess it takes up all my energy. I haven't been able to concentrate at all. Of course I'm going to devour City of Glass when it comes out a week from tomorrow. Oh my god am I excited. And in my feed this morning was a Rachel Caine update about Fade Out the 7th Morganville Vampire book. The cover design to the left. So she has the next two books in the box. Oh Shane, I'm wishing happy things for you.
Class has been more interesting. I still think my prof is a tool but I really liked the video we watched in the last class. I liked the debate of Intelligent Design/Creationism and Evolution. Go Evolution go! I'm eager to see what happens in class tomorrow. I hope we actually start learning about something other than religion and politics though. D needs to know about psychology before he goes to grad school.
April is coming soon and we have Portland and Shanny and then Nielle will be coming to visit. Oh fun everyway around. Speaking of Shannon she took the pic to the left and I loved it so much that I snagged it for in here. She is so awesome. And Nielle... when she comes here we are going to do the RenFaire in Irwindale. I'm hoping we can do it on a day when Belle can come too. Note to self: remind D to buy plane tickets.
I haven't been watching hockey but I have been playing fantasy hockey and my team beat James for the first time all year last week. WOOT! D tells me that Chris Kunitz is playing well in Pittsburgh and Ovie is edging in on the 50 spot for goals this year. Go boy! Do DC proud. I can't wait until Thanksgiving this year when we will be in DC and I have high hopes that we can see a live caps game.
Oh I am getting too excited. It's only 22 days until City of Glass. I have been reading the COG cookies at Cassandra Clare's My Space and I am completely abuzz. The earlier cookies were longer, the last two were snippets. And I love the picture from the tour to the right with Sebastian as the dark angel and Jace as the light. Oh but I don't want it to end. But she has her new shadowhunter series The Infernal Device. I just want more Jace and Clary.
I watched all the video and read the articles about Rob over the last few days. I love that he is still clueless as to why he is so popular. I was a little disappointed to hear that Little Ashes was pushed back to May 8. But incredibly happy to hear that Eclipse has been greenlit (is that the right tense?) and should be out June 10, 2010. There just isn't enough Twilight stuff for me. I haven't gotten my dolls yet but I plan to.
Note in the pic right that Ali is wearing pants instead of her robes. It's like she's naked.
We had a couple of good runs over the weekend we ran mainly with Kaei and Garvey and interchanged others. We played with Nasmirn and Dawsacre which I love running with, even if Nasmirn was a bit of a tool. He did give me 10 pieces of heavy leather so I could level up my tailoring. I was going to play after I wrote this but I don't have time before I have to get ready. I think I will take my computer with me and play at Iso. I also have the new Vampire Diaries book to start. Maybe in the waiting room.
Today suck. D is dying of some plague and has been in bed all day. I love him home but not when all he does is sleep. We are supposed to be going to a Sharks game tonight and I think maybe we should nix that idea and get him better.
Little Ashes finally got a release date for the states, March 27th. I am really excited about this film. It would be nice to see how Rob Pattinson does in an edgy role. Salvador Dali and his lover should turn off some of those teeny boppers who think Rob is just Edward Cullen. I hope it shows a lot of male on male french kissing. Brian Kenney used to do it and make me feel like I was watching the hottest thing going.
So we are all packed and I have to grab the books I'll read on the plane and make sure that my iPhone is set to play the rest of City of Bones and City of Ashes if I finish COB. I might buy a magazine for the plane ride between Fairbanks and Anchorage. It's going to be a truly hellish night of travel.
With the holiday being so close at hand Erin had errands to run so we got to see a bit of Fairbanks but before we got to that point we had to make a stop at the dump. They don't have
But intersperesed with my day was time spent on Lion & Lamb and there were so many Twilight/Rob/Kellan related pics posted that it gave me something to be thankful for today. And that is what has to be tagged to the end of this post.
Alaska in 17 hours. I was up at 3AM this morning. I don't know if it is mental retardation or pre-travel nerves but I was bright eyed and alert in the early hours of the AM. Which is really nice so that I can shower before we have to leave. I wanted to last night but read above of near narcoleptic hoo-haw. Alaska. I am so very excited. Although I can't even conceive of how cold it is going to be. Not even in a nightmare can I imagine. I hope it doesn't hurt. I have such thin SoCal blood these days. There will be a million pictures I think.
And despite all this I still love Jace and Clary more. I will be reading City of Bones while up in Alaska. After Wizard's First Rule, of course.
I've had the most painful Monday. My reading habit turned evil and consequence was scaring. I was reading a Night World ebook and I kept putting off leaving for therapy. I usually leave at 2pm and it was 3:15 before I started getting my stuff to leave. I forgot my phone. I dropped my keys on the bus and they rolled away. I was reading The Kitchen God's Wife and I missed my bus stop and got dropped off 2 miles away from where I needed to be. No phone to call D. The return bus stop was packed with students from the nearby school. So I walked it, as fast as I could because I was worried I'd be late. I passed every scary homeless person I could and that always makes me really uncomfortable. I finally made it to the office and I was positively exhausted. Lesson learned, don't be such a slave to my obsession or my ass will be stranded in Santa Monica.
A lot was shaken in the Sherrilyn Kenyon world yesterday. She announced the characters and synopsis for Dream Warrior due out in February. I'm totally confused because I thought that was to be Aimee and Fang's story. Who knows. She also announced the cover of the DH manga. I like the red one better but this is okay. It's probably more expressive of bad ass Kyrian. Then last night I got an email from St. Martin's with the excerpt from One Silent Night and I still have my reservations. I'm just not a Stryker fan. Although if it promises Urian then I it's almost a given that I will read it.
I just finished reading the Night World books. I maintain that Ash is my favorrite character with Morgead a close second. It makes me want to go back and read some parts of Jez and Morgead's story again. But the last three stories are way different than the first six. They are all millenium stories about the apocalypse. And to go from James and Poppy's story well it is like a whole different world. And Ash stops showing up after the sixth story too. They don't reference back to anyone other than Rashel and Quinn. The one thing that did get me was reading the summary of Strange Fate which will be the tenth book was that she says seven characters go off to fight the apocalypse and only two come back and that destroys me. There was no one I could say was annoying enough that they could die. Okay Maggie has something like death coming to her but I don't know if it's death. And she wouldn't be sent to fight. She would be home inciting the underdogs to revolt.
I picked up Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder from the library and I plan to start it today. Belle recommends it so I have pretty high hopes for it. I also have to get somewhere in The Kitchen God's Wife today because it's my 20 in 20. I should have picked Jekyl and Hyde. I would be done with it already. But I didn't so I have to suck it up. I think my real problem is this is out of the genre I'm used to reading and it just doesn't hold my attention like other books do. It's not bad, but it's not the elixir for what stirs me. I'm hoping Poison Study will be able to hold my attention.
There were a few interesting Twilight related photos out in the last few days. I like the Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson photostrip the most. I think Rob's face looks too angular in the new poster. There are a lot of articles coming out in the coming weeks and I guess that is to be expected with the movie release being about six weeks away. I kind of thought there would be a bigger push. It doesn't really seem to
This Wednesday is the So You Think You Can Dance show. I am excited but somehow nervous about it. I don't know what is bothering me about it exactly. I hope that Matt and Kourtni will be touring with them. And I want to see Gev and Courtny again. It should be fun. So what's my problem? I don't know. But after the show, Belle, Susan, their friend April, D and I will be going to the 101 for a really late dinner. So I'll have a double dose of the girls this week. Wait if we include my birthday party this weekend it will be a triple dose. They will be really sick of me by then. Heather will shoot herself in the head from me asking if she's read City of Bones a hundred times. It will be to the point where they will cancel on Monday for Friday.
Today is a therapy day and I am listening to my playlist and I should be getting ready. I'm going to be late but since I don't think I'm going to eat today it shouldn't be a problem. Although the bus will still be ugly. I have a few things to talk about. The main one is this general back slide I'm doing. D has even taken notice of it. I mean I'm not doing bad. Just all the sudden I've started losing ground. No more progress. Maybe that is natural. We can't always move forward. Only sharks keep moving and I'm more of feline. And with that I should really be going.
