I have been up for 2 hours and I am soooooo lazy. I did play with the kitties and take pictures of them for this post but I feel so completely at loose ends. Haha... it took me those 2 hours to prepare to write this which should come about organically. Next I will be practicing to shower. 

Things on the home front are quiet. Nothing is going not that is a big deal aside from me cycling, but we have a new med dosage for that. I am looking forward to having D home for the long weekend. I feel like we haven't had time together in a really long time. Nicky is doing better. He is eating 6 or 7 times a day. We started him out on that TessBrianna suggested and from there he just dug in. I still don't see him putting on weight though. He is painfully thin and when I have to hold him down for his IV I worry that I am going to hurt him. But he is getting stronger and he fights fiercely. I don't blame him. I wouldn't want IVs in my back either. In other news we are going to take Deami to the farm this weekend I think. I feel so horrible but he is really not a social cat. He has so many attitude problems. I can wait for years and it won't change. I don't know what to say to Mr. Martin. I will have to tell him the truth but I'm not looking forward to it.

D just told me that I won't be able to get to Comic Con this year.:( Here is where I whine. I never want to go anywhere and the few places I want to go never work out and I am so sick of it. I get dragged to all these bullshit places I never want to go to and I hardly complain at all and then the 2 or 3 places I want to go don't work. Like TBS is in Anaheim on the 6/3 and I won't be able to go because of traffic. It fucking sucks. /end whinge, sorry for the tantrum.

WoW has been fun. I got a sea turtle mount the other day. I love it but it's not a traveling mount really. Well not on land. It is good in the water. I have been working on 50 pets and now I've decided I want 50 mounts too. I'm at a pitiful 12 right now. I'm at 42/50 pets though... that is something. D says I need money to get mounts and it just bums me out some because it makes me realize that I have questing that I can do now but soon it will be nothing but instances and lets face it... that isn't going to bring in all that much. I am going to have my income slow down. I don't know what to think. I do need to do more instances though. I have been doing runs with Mandarb (D), Annäbell, Laureena and Mclaren. I love Mclaren. Next to Anya he is my favorite person in the game. Of course he doesn't know that and it is best that way... I think he would be freaked right out and hide.

I read two trashy romances this week. It's nice to read. I miss it. I have been picking romances because they don't require a whole lot of work or thinking. I have Fragile Eternity here and I am thinking I am going to start it on Tuesday. It's a lot thicker than Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange. Interesting. I can't wait to get back to Seth and Aislinn. I still haven't finished The Vampire Diaries; The Return/Nightfall. I was a little turned off with the direction it was going and I hate Bonnie and so much of the book is from her perspective. Why not Stefan... it is called the VAMPIRE DIARIES. I also noticed on my calendar that Carpe Corpus comes out in two weeks!! New Morganville Vampires. Oh Shane I hope you don't spend the entire book in jail with your dad. I am happy and unsure about where Rachel Caine will go with Morganvile in the next few books. I liked it when Amelie was the unknown evil. I don't like the Bishop story line. I really hope it ends with this book. I also hope that Shane and Claire get a little make out action... she is 17 now. Shane always impied that 17 was the dividing line. Oh Shane... Shane, Shane, Shane.

So I think I want to make some wishes and mayne anyone who reads this could combine their good thoughts and help make my wishes come true, I wish I could go to Comic Con for Thursday and see the New Moon Panel. I wish I could get BlizzCon tickets. I wish that Anya gets WotLK soon so she could hang out with us in Dal. I wish Mand gets a chance to do what he really wants to do. I wish T would come back because I need a break from being in charge. And I wish that I could do more things by myself so that Mand could raid and I could do more than sit and twiddle my thumbs.

Oh and this,,,

Last night I went to see Twilight for the tenth time. It was still awesome. I did notice a flaw in the screenplay. It's small but now that I noticed it it will bother. When the nomads come to the field and James does his, "You've brought a snack" Rosalie jumps to defend Bella but then in the scene in the garage she asks why she should help. My answer would be, because you did in the last scene. And how does Edward and the Cullens follow her to Mimi's when she never tells Alice and Jasper where it is located? Another plot flaw. But despite those things I still love it. I would like to go and see it with Belle and Susan. And now New Moon officially has it's new director. Chris Weitz will be at the helm. I don't know if I have much faith in the guy who accepted the screenplay for Golden Compass with it missing the last chapter of the book. I hope we don't miss the last chapter of New Moon. I'm eager to hear what will happen with casting for NM. D has been keeping an eye out for sides but nothing yet. I am seriously leaning towards our Spring trip being Portland. I know it doesn't have the pizazz or sunniness of Hawaii but I would love to see Shanny and to get to play fungirl and go to some of the locations that the movie was shot at. It sounds like such fun and Hawaii isn't going anywhere. It will still be there the next year. So yeah I'm at 75% sure of going to the Pacific Northwest.

Today was a really busy day. We had to get me shoes for D's work Christmas party and I chose shoes that I don't believe I will wear that often over the ones I loved. I really regret getting them. The other ones were even on sale. I love shoes but why do they have to be such a labour when choosing them? Then we had to go to the comic book store and now we are up to date on Spike, Buffy and Angel. Our next mission is to actually read them. We are about five issues behind on Angel. Appalling. Then we went to Petco and got a friend for Nate. I haven't named him yet because I'm leaning towards either Jace or Seth, after Jace Wayland from The Mortal Instruments or Seth from Wicked Lovely and I would be heartbroken if I had to say either of them had died. So for now my little black moor goldfish is Little Fish. Then we went grocery shopping which was an ordeal because I was there. It had to be twice as expensive because I like to shop off the shopping list. It's like I'm the bane of D's life at times. I did get pickles, silk nog and raspberry sherbet. Score! Then we had to go to the boss's Christmas party. I was not excited about it because I have the social graces of a rock. He did have a nice house and the fresh pineapple was yummy. I even had a glass of bubbly and reminded myself that I find champagne god awful. We came home and made french toast with cinnabon bread. D's a master chef and it was so good. Oh and in between the grocery store and the party I wrapped D's Christmas gifts and I love Christmas. I keep wanting to talk to him about them and that would just be bad. I'm so excited for Christmas when he will open them and hopefully like them. I know three things that he will love. The rest is all up to the gods.

I have been reading some the last few days. I read both Novel of the Darkyn books I had and they were sort of disappointing. I will read the others in the series but these books were highly recommended for being good vampire books and they just aren't. I also read the first Others book, Wolf at the Door by Christine Warren and it was a good fantasy romance. The writing is sort of mediocre and the story isn't what I would call original but it had something to offer. Last night I started Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning and I was sort of blown away. I only got 70 pages in but the style and tone is incredible. It's categorized as romance but there isn't any romance in it so far and I would classify it as fantasy/suspense. It reminds me if you were to take Sookie Stackhouse books and Dante Valentine books and then threw in faeries, but better written then the two, then that is how I would describe it. I plan to read Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind this week. I don't know if I am ready for it but I don't think I ever will be. I'm just going to have to jump in.

Tomorrow I'm meeting Team Logan at Mo's in Burbank at lunch. Tam will be there and I haven't seen her since last Christmas. I'll get to show Belle my new silver nail polish. She will love it. I hope to make plans with Susan and Belle to get lunch or dinner this week sometime. I don't see the group, well hardly ever. It'll be good to touch bases.

I have to sleep sometime soon. I am not tired. It's 3:30 in the morning. My sleep is a mess. Stupid red eye. I haven't been the same since. I doubt sitting here listening to music and updating my last.fm helps.

Melissa Marr is absolutely awesome. Her book signing at Vroman's in Pasadena was tonight and she was 100% better than Stephenie Meyer. She arrived and hopped up on the table and gave us some background on her books and herself and opened the discussion up for questions. She told us straight up that she could tell us spoilery things because she could pretend she didn't remember saying them later. So the first thing that we heard about was the next book, Fragile Eternity, possibly Enthralled. She said it would have four narrators, Aislinn, Seth, Donia and Sorcha. It will have to do with not the Dark Court and she wasn't saying if it had to do with the Winter, Summer or High Courts. It's release date is 21 April 2009, with each consecutive book following yearly from then on. The book is a sequel to Wicked Lovely and not a companion book like Ink Exchange. The fourth book will have Ani in it and then we will see Irial again. Oh and Niall will still be in Fragile Eternity as he and Seth are close friends, I imagine he will be in the fourth book too as it has to do with the Dark Court.

She talked about the ending of Ink Exchange and how she wrote the only ending there was to tell. I agree and I still don't like it. She spent a good amount of time talking about the psychology of characters and how Leslie starts out the story as a rape victim but ends the book as a survivor. She also talked some about Keenan's personality. She touched on how it is to write the books and what her process is. She says that sometimes she is writing and one of characters will start yelling at her. She mentioned Seth doing a lot of yelling in Ink Exchange and how he isn't as good as he has seemed. I took this as Seth has been depicted as a paragon so he is human. I'm sure she isn't going to make him a scumbag.

She discussed a lot about the process for editing. She explained how she had two editors for the next book and they don't always see eye to eye. She also talked about the tedium of the final processes where they are discussing moving punctuation and starting new paragraphs. She was asked a question about the number of narrators in the stories and how her editors were really having a hard time with four different perspectives.

I'm sure she said a ton of stuff I can't remember. Oh, she talked about folklore and how she learned it. Happy endings were a topic. Tattoos were a big subject. Theories over facts. I'm losing it again. It was a really lovely time and I am over the moon that I went. When I was getting the book signed she talked to me about the website and invited me to use the forum there to ask any other questions. She answers them weekly. She also gave me her email address to email her pictures. They aren't the best but they are something. Oh, she told us how to get advanced copies of books. She said that they were easy to get. I might give it a try.

Today I got to read Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr and I don't really know how I feel about it. I want to get the next book, Ink Exchange, so I apparently liked it to some degree. I didn't mind Aislinn, the main character. Finally a female who isn't overly stupid or self sacrificing, so that was nice. I loved Seth who is the best friend and love interest. I could definitely take a guy like him. Keenan was interesting. I spent the majority of the book cringing when he was mentioned, but he's not like that. I think I just was worried about the situation. I know Belle loved Donia, and I didn't mind her but I found her rather flat. I think Donia plays best with Keenan. At least there is something there that is believable during those interactions. The book was a quick read, I read it in one day. I am really interested in getting Ink Exchange now because I want to read more about Ash and Seth. The book didn't give me a satisfactory ending for them.

Before I read Wicked Lovely I was rereading The Host again and I loved it as much on the second read as I did on the first. I read all the signing questions on Twilight Lexicon and I am really excited about the prospect that this could be a trilogy. I really am hoping that it is. I know Stephenie Meyer is taking next year off to write and I hope she gets the urge to revisit Wanderer.

I got the 1st chapter of Breaking Dawn the other day. Belle found it had been leaked on the internet. I was really excited to read it but it made me immediately aware of the fact that Bella drives me nuts. She waffles and wars over the silliest of things. Edward apparently buys her a new car, a Mercedes Guardian, because the truck dies and she is embarrassed by it. She's not embarrassed to ride in a truck that no doubt kills emissions standards but a nice car is too much for her. And she is still belaboring the getting married thing when she is the one who insisted on it after Edward tells her that he rescinded his demands. The girl is marrying Edward Cullen, her dream guy, you think she could pull it together and be happy about it. The first chapter just made me want to devour the whole book. I don't know really if I can make it the 65 days until it comes out. I guess I can reread my Twilight Saga and The Host and pretend that time is passing more quickly.

Today, well yesterday I guess, was Twilight Tuesday and I actually wasn't disappointed in the article this week. I thought it was a nice little grab bag of some really dorky questions. I especially loved the RPattz one. I think I could call the guy Spunk Ransom. Although D thinks it sounds like a porn star name. I think we are going to go to the red carpet for the MTV awards on Sunday. It should be interesting to see what can be seen. I hope that we do see Rob there. Kristen I could take or leave. I was talking to D and I can't even really name that many good movies from the last year. Stardust should win something though. Just so Ben Barnes could maybe get some love. I realize Charlie Cox is the star but Ben is cuter.
