Yay Dylan!

meara, I meant to say earlier that your boss is annoying me. Of course you aren't engaged. That shit is BORING. Also, repetitive. Also, also, he should shut it.

Thanks Kristin!

Is it bad that I'm very sad "Made of Honor" doesn't come out THIS weekend, so I can't see it while I'm marooned in Indy? BOO. Likelihood I will see it when I go home is very low, but this weekend i would totally go.

I want to see Smart People, Leatherheads, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Especially the last one. I keep hearing great things about it.

For those I will point you at the Vampire Kisses series (silly name, great books) and the Morganville Vampires series (written by the same woman who writes the Weather Warden books, which I have not yet read).

Cheers! I'll look for the former - am already picking up the latter, and they remind me powerfully of a short story Rebecca Lizard was working on for the Great Never Completed Bitch Porn Anthology, back in the day.

But the thing is, in relation to Aimee's topic, that it's Twilight that's getting all the publicity, at least in my bookshops, and being wolfed down and talked about by the kids, and getting a movie made. Which, from the teacherly pov, is kind of 'aargh'-making. Glad to hear that the subsequent books get better, though.

(Between Twilight and the TV show Moonlight, (hell, let's add Angel's creepy lolly-sucking-wee-Buffy-stalking ways in there too) I'm finding myself powerfully tempted to write something involving a hot vampire who doesn't get all lustful and icky over girls he really should see as children, and who is genuinely aghast to find the teen girls trying to get in his pants. You know, one who ACTS like he's well over 80 and no longer interested in shagging, and sees the 17 year old as a kid. A crotchety vampire.

I hate being sick. I turn into such a whiny child. I want my mommy to make me PB&J cut up into tiny little squares (she called them "pops") and Campbell's vegetable soup with extra added veggies.

Or at least wants a woman who can buy her own booze--or get weak-kneed for the Deneuve/Loren/Bardot types, much to the chagrin of the teenager who thinks only kids have sex.

That would be awesome. And much-needed. Part of the reason I like Vampire Kisses so much (besides the adorable babygoth lead character) is that the vampire is also a teen. Not the typical "Older Man" stalking wooing a teenaged girl. In the Morganville Vampires series, none of the older vamps have shown any romantic interest in the kids.

Considering how much vampire fiction I read, I have an awful lot of issues and complaints with it.

Spooky. Right after I posted that last post, guess who called?

Moms have super powers.

FSM is great. Smart People is okay but nothing special. You can wait for it to hit second-run theatres.

Also, I just now realized you were Kristin, not Kristen, which makes more sense since I was wondering what Kristen was doing in Bitches.

Jon removed the T. I was sick of it, and I figured I've been around long enough now that confusion would be minimal.
