My sister picked up Soulless a couple weeks ago.  She read it in one night.  Because I am oh so penniless (still job hunting), she let me borrow it.  I read it in one night.

(LiveJournal has decided to hate me and erased my review portion and won't let me type anything below the cut portion.  Erg.  Ok, Take 2.)

I am completely impressed by Ms. ( Read more... )

First of all, Alex Bledsoe is a classy and thoughtful guy.  Most of you know I was laid off (OMG FOUR months ago!!) and so my book buying funds have pretty much dried up.  On Twitter, my friend Zombie Joe was kind enough to offer me The Sword Edged Blonde ( my review).  I used it as a teaser to get myself to workout and BOY did it work!!  So then I  ( Read more... )

Poll Random Movies Missy LovesI'm watching Earth Girls Are Easy right now and it got me thining about some of the off the wall movies in my collection (I have over 500 moves.....).  The ones in the poll are only DVD's.  I didn't even look through my VHS, which has much more randomness.  I promise you.

I talked earlier about my new found love of the mini-series Tinman.  Well, I had to return the library's copy so I looked it up on Amazon and it was only $9.99.  Awesome, right?  But since I had to go into town for Weight Watchers (lost .4 lbs), I decided to stop by Walmart.  No go.  I didn't think they'd have it.  So I stopped by Borders.  Couldn' ( Read more... )

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

( Wherein I talk about war )

I was going to post this the other day but kind of chickened out... not sure why.  Don't want to over-tax the hive mind with my questions, I guess... is that insulting? B/c it's not supposed to be.

Anyway, I've pulled open my poor little MS and have started reading and tweaking it again.  Still have to write more (I'm crossed 51K last night though I ( Read more... )

I'm just taking a moment to remember those who died on 911, hero, villian and victim alike.  The sad state of the world that would allow something like that to happen.  And the fear that it may be repeated.

War is ugly and terrible and scary and sad and wrong... but I still don't think we should pull out of the Middle East.  We're there b/c they ( Read more... )

But seriously.  *chew*chew*  I love chocolate in the unhealthy way a drug addict loves their drug.  I crave chocolate like a heroin addict on withdrawl but without the side effect of getting skinny.  No, instead it adds to my weight.  The bitch.  *licks crumbs from fingers*
