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
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.
I read two trashy romances this week. It's nice to read. I miss it. I have been picking romances because they don't
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,,,
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.
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.
Yesterday was a day full of surprises. I wore my green sweater with my green converse. They aren't grass green, more of a gem colour and it looked really good. It isn't often that I like what I wear. So it was a good start. I went to the bookstore to get Faefever and found Lord of Misrule was out on the shelves early. I whooped and jumped up and down. I have little self respect when it comes to books. I haven't started it yet but I plan to start it today. Oh where for art thou, Shane? I went to a hockey game. Kings vs. Flyers at the Staples Center. I found myself routing for the Flyers... and that is just not acceptable. I have never liked Philadelphia. Even when Mclaughlin was making me watch every game. But I do like Braydon Coburn and D has Scott Hartnell on his fantasy hockey team. It was a hard hitting game. I imagine they will be feeling it today. Although the Kings won in the end, I didn't see it because I fell asleep on D's shoulder and we left early. Hopefully I'll have a better time of it this Thursday when we go to see the Ducks play. I can route for the Kings that game. I never have gotten over them trading Andy McDonald.
I'm of half the mind to watch some TV today. This is highly unusual. I have the gym today so anything I would want to watch gets cut into by that. And then we are going to go and meet Jamie in LBC for some Indian. By then this idea will have burned off. Tomorrow I'm meeting Nicky online at 11:30 so it is out then too. Then I have Dr. Moore. I have plans to read Lord of Misrule sometime in the next 24 hours too so that leaves me really short on time. But I have Sinchornicity, which D found for me and Lost in Austen. D is going to have Hex come through on Netflix this week. I will have to readjust my mental thinking to work on this.
New Years Resolutions!!
I made a few... alright more than a couple. I was generous with my resolve and not doing so great on a few of them. But I will list them here so that I can look back and know which ones I need to work on.
- Go to the gym three times a week. 3 hours cardio and 1.5 weight training.
- Lose 15 lbs and keep it of.
- Be more mindful of my hygiene.
- Do something social each week.
- Read 5 books a week.
- Walk more.
- Clean the house one a month.
- Keep on top of the kitty litter.
- To let my hair grow. No cutting it.
You know that feeling when you have just feasted and you still want more? I'm living that feeling. I finished Faefever this morning and I crave the next book. The ending of this one is so fucked up and twisted that I need to know how to come back from it. It will be 8 months before the next book comes back out. A long 8 months. I think that I will reread the fever books just a couple of times. I love Barrons and I could live in the world to be near him. I do wonder what his reaction to what Mac does. It won't be pretty. I wonder how you cure pri-ya. And V'lane... where was he when the princes appeared? Yes. I have found another series to love.
Next week the new Morganville book comes out. I am eager for it because I want to know what happens with the group once they are split up. Shane is sent out by Amelie on a suicide mission. Claire and Amelie are off to find Myrnin. Eve with Oliver, and that has to be an ugly pairing. And Michael off to the campus to reduce people in the neighborhoods. Morganville up in flames. No bloodmobile for the vamps. It is going to be a tense read. I can't wait.
I've been feeling a bit off center for a while. Like I'm cycling my mood is normal but my energy is up. I feel elevated. I've started taking more neurontin to help me sleep. I don't think it works. My sleep is all over the place. I need to call Dr. Scott and get an appointment to adjust my meds. I worry that if I don't things will get worse.
Being in LA has me feeling decidedly of two minds. It's home but it's also a cage. Really hard to be excited about a place that suffocates me. I miss big open spaces and fresh air. I miss home. At least I know that this July I'll be going home for a while. I do miss laying on the floor of my bedroom reading books all night, the sound of crickets coming in through the window. That was near perfection to me.
Last night I found a Rachel Caine audiostory of Dead Man Stalking. It was a story from Shane's perspective and I got very excited because in it he admits he loves Claire. He's never said it in the Morganville Vampire books so you were left wondering what he felt. I was giddy. I wonder when he will tell her. Lord of Misrule comes out in just over a month. Caine has three books coming out next year; January, July and November. It's like a banner year for me. But back to Misrule--I can't help but wonder how she is going to save Morganville. She left it burning to the ground at the end of Feast of Fools. And splitting up the core. My entire body is in EEK! Mode.
I haven't finished a book in a week. I am reading three at the moment. Dead After Dark, Snakecharm and Wizard's First Rule. I'm kind of blowing through Dead After Dark so I may finish it tomorrow. I liked Fury's story and I love Sherri but I feel like she is really falling down on her storytelling. Angelia hates Fury and then all the sudden she loves him and wants him as her mate. It's frustrating because she used to be much stronger than this on plot. One Silent Night was similar to Fury's tale and I don't really like it. I loved Fury though and wanted his story to be compelling. I did LOVE the JR Ward's The Story of Son. It was a good spin of on her vampire lure and well written. I loved Michael. Although the story bled Lover Unbound influence. Still I loved it. I still have two more stories to read.
The last two days I've had D home with me and it's nice. I like it. I like that boy very much. We decorated the Christmas tree last night and played Scrabble the last two nights. It's much nicer than me reading in bed and him out on the couch watching TV. I'd like to keep it this way. Oh and when we were in Alaska we got our gTalk video chat to work. So now while D is at work I can video chat with him. I have noticed not many people have it though. Too bad Nicky doesn't. I'll have to set my mother up wiith it.
I still haven't unpacked from Alaska. I know I need to. Maybe today. I have a caboodle of books in the one bag. I also have to pack a box or two for my mother. I ahoulsn't use my Vox as my Things To Do list. It's not the venue. While in Alaska I found a copy of Demon in My View. I love the cover of it and because I didn't recognize it as a Den of Shadows book. So now I have two copies of it. I have to quell that acquistiveness. It does me no favors.
I have to get the Alaska pictures off the camera. But for now. Here are two that Erin took for Thanksgiving.
So now I've read almost all of my new books I will have to read ebooks for the next while. I need more vampire books. Oh there you go I can read Sookie Stackhouse books for a few days. Come Sunday and I will be back to reading 20 in 20 books. There is a lot to read. Not to mention that D should be done with City of Bones soon so I will be able to reread that and there is a shortage of Jace Wayland in my life at the moment.
Today I called home and got to talk to my sister. She had her first real boy/girl dance today and she said she danced and had a good time. We chatted about other things. She stilled my heart and made me smile because she told me she was reading a book. It's about shelter dogs but it could be about play-doh and I wouldn't care so long as she was reading. She also told me her plan for the weekend was to watch TV and do homework. I guess my life is pretty simple now but hers seems idyllic.
