I forgot to mention... I read Twilight. I think if someone had told me the plot would start around page 300 I wouldn't have bothered to keep reading. But my friend loaned me the whole set and I was done after the first book but it was drowsy morning time and I had a cat on me so I started in on the sneak preview of New Moon and damn it, I'm intrigued. Will there be more plot and less swoony-swoon in this one?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Sure. Blame the cat.

I didn't want to borrow them. I made a joke about almost reading Twilight while I was cat sitting and she shoved them at me. They sat on my bedroom floor for a week before curiosity overcame me. Now I feel kinda soiled.

At least you didn't buy them and contribute to the problem. I bought Left Behind off of eBay specifically to avoid adding to sales figures.
Though come to think of it I never did get around to reading that. Oh well, plenty of time after the Rapture.

Not really.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Doesn't she eventually have a baby and become a vampire? I guess it eventually gets less swoony then. But it's a long time coming.

I'm not sure about the second thing but I believe the first thing happens in the last book.

Yes. But even with those plot developments, it's still overwhelmingly swoony.
(Note to self: watch Near Dark tonight.)

So we're been watching da Bears '85 season on Netflix. (boy do today's running backs look slow and awkward compared to Willie and Walter) I haven't worked up the courage to rewatch "The Superbowl Shuffle" but I did read the Wikipedia article. It claims the song shot up the Billboard charts and stopped dead at #41. Some speculate that the numbers may have been manipulated so Casey Kasem wouldn't have to play the song nationally on top 40 radio. Scandalous!
