Aha - that makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well, and I only read the first book, but technically, aren't MOST vampires still bad? I mean, the ones that the chickie in the book likes are good cause they've given up eating people, so the werewolf Natives have come to an uneasy truce with that family, over the years, but still don't want her to like them, etc. But most vampires still eat people, so they're bad, adn should be hunted by the werewolves, or whatever?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
OK, since no one will tell me, I'm going to have to make a guess about what vampire baseball is ... where you know both teams suck?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Either that, or a night game.

“Not dead yet!”
Excellent column by Erica Heller at HuffPo on publishing craziness, Sarah Palin, and Joe the Plumber.

Because books.

Bwah!
From the book, all I remember is Edward's vampire family playing with Bella, and ... maybe some extra fast running or something? Nothing more than the fact that vampire were playing, unless I'm forgetting.

Back before Wrigley got lights, I had a friend who kept saying he was going to write a story about a vampire baseball player who was traded to the Cubs.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Amy, your white-font is correct. There really isn't anything more to it than the Cullens play baseball. In a forest clearing. And run super-fast, before the OMG human-eating vampires show up, and deliver the funniest line in the book.

Punishingly Intricate
Either that, or a night game.
Wait, isn't one of the things about the Twilight vampires is that they can go out in the sun?
I'm actually going to see the movie on Friday with a group of 30something (and + like me) ladies. I'm hoping it's hilariously bad!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
From an interview with Meyers re: the adaptation from book to movie:
"The vampires have to have the same basic rules as the vampire world I’ve created, which means no fangs, no costumes, they have to sparkle in the sunlight.."
"I am not a vampire fan, and never have been."
I'm not saying, I'm just saying. And being vampier-than-her.
