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 got a new purse from D's mom full of tea from refugees from Nepal. Kai Kai spent this morning pulling it all out of the bag under the tree and playing with it. I got two long sleeved t-shirts from D in gray and black. A black Gap cardigan from D's mom which I love to death. A gray hoodie shirt from Old Navy. A gray hooded cardigan from American Eagle. A green sweater from Old Navy. A gray hooded sweater from Old Navy. All of which were from D. Oh he also got me jammie bottoms. They are really heavy and that rocks because the apartment is so cold during the winter since we don't use the heat. Someone got me a Taking Back Sunday t-shirt. So I will be way fashionable the next show we go to. I got Carnivale, Season 1 from D and I think D's parents got me Hellboy 2. I got the Magic Bullet from my mom. She does a lot of weird cheap stuff but then she comes through with the bullet, a B&N gift card for $50 and cash. I love her dearly even if there are times when she just confounds me and drives me to tears. D also got me my Twilight poster framed. It should be ready next week. Then it's going to be hung right over the bed. I hope that won't be creepy for D.
D got the newest Prince of Persia game and DC vs. Mortal Kombat from me, so we may never watch real tv again until they are beat. I got him Dr. Horrible. His mom and dad got him a special screwdriver with replaceable nibs. We never really have projects that require screwdrivers but maybe we can lookout for them now. I got him a pair of jeans from Old Navy and two Gap sweaters with three pairs of Gap socks. His mom got him a pair of Gap jeans, a blazer and a vest, which is too big, so we are going to have to exchange it. I also got him the Iron Gym. It's the pull up gadget you see on TV where you install it over the door frame for doing pull ups. He loves it and does some everytime he comes through the door. I got D a Sharks t-shirt and a license plate holder. Ah see something he can use his screwdiver on! D's mom got him some of the edgiest ties. I should have taken pictures of them. Maybe I will make him take some pictures of his gifts for his Vox. That is a good idea.
We had a good take. I think it will hold us over until Easter which I am making a gift giving holiday. Wait I can't if it interferes with going to Portland but then there is Valentine's Day. They should all be holidays where we decorate the tree in a new color scheme and exchange gifts.
I forgot about my books that I got. I got Moonheart from Heather. I am dying to read it. I had it before and mooched it being dumb. I also got two other de Lint books, The Onion Girl and Dreams Underfoot. Bother are Newford books. I have a long way to go to have them all but this brings me closer. I somehow got two copies of The Onion Girl and I'm going to exchange it for Little (Grrl) Lost. I want D to read it so badly. I also got $100 in B&N gift cards. Combine it with what I already have and that is easily $140. Which is good because Lord of Misrule comes out next week and there is a Kresley Cole book out in a few more weeks. Yes Barnes and Noble will be seeing a lot of me.
Yesterday D and I went to Universal Citywalk to see some movies and we ate at Wasabi where, usually, I gripe about something. Yesterday was no exception. We got the uneven table that they said they would fix and never came back. We were in the draft of the door which they kept leaving open when it was 50F out. They brought me yellowtail rolls instead of veggie rolls and asked if I wanted them instead of what I ordered. It was a disaster. I love Iso and Wasabi just makes me realize that so much more. When we left we went to It'Sugar and I fell a little in love. I got two mugs one says A Little Coffee With My Sugar Please and the other says When It Comes To Sugar I'll Say When. I also bought candy there. It's like heaven for my sweet tooth.
We went to see The Spirit and Twilight yesterday. I had started to have hope for The Spirit after having generally no interest and that was where I was wrong because the movie was just terrible bad. I did like Sarah Paulson in it but that was about it. The screenplay is a hot mess. Gabriel Macht comes across as wooden. The jokes are so heavy handed that only the 12 year olds in the theater found it funny. I never thought I would say that Samuel L. Jackson could to worse than Mace Windu but it was a travesty. They snuff a kitty. Scarlett Johansson is so so so bad. I think the only part D liked was the part where Eva Mendes is naked. I didn't think she was that attractive to begin with. I blame Frank Miller. I wasn't a big fan of Sin City either and the only good thing he's been involved with in my opinion is 300. And did you know they are making a sequel to that? How I ask! They all died in the battle of Thermopoly. And I'm more disturbed because I still want them to write Gerard Butler into the sequel despite knowing the King went down fighting. So, no.... I won't be going to see The Spirit 12 times. I am sad that Twilight is going out of theaters. I would like to see it three more times before it's gone. I some how spaced out last night and missed the final kiss. Go figure.
I have been pouring through my feeds lately. I miss the breadth and depth of the articles that were out a month ago. I find I am just grabbing desktops and pictures. The Twilight world is quiet and will probably stay that way until March when maybe, maybe New Moon Mondays with Larry Carroll will start. Until then life is going to be kind of dull. Althought I do have Rachel Caine livening things up. She is pretty good about writing about how far she is in her books and updating her website. She even does contests in which I can enter. I'm never going to get over the Cassandra Clare thing.
Now I need to start thinking New Years Resolutions and Christmas clean-up.
