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?

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!

Note the spit cloth thrown over my shoulder. So fashionable!
What a lovely picture. Awww.
I just recently found an old cloth left over from the boys. It was embroidered Spit Happens.
