Ah, hints of hell.

Gotta pimp'up that limbo.

So yeah, back to full time work, for a month at least, at the good old bookstore. It feels weird looking for work while working full time. It's actually kinda stressful.

Gonna go get some frames don ethis week. I've also got a bunch of interviews and I have to call an employment agency in montréal that seems to like my resume very, very much (yay).

Money wise, things seem to be looking up, although now all my free time is dead. My days look alot like so: search for work, go to work, eat, respond to emails, draw for two hours, die in bed. I guess you win some and loose some. I'm gonna get ready for some interviews for tomorrow... I also have work at 2. Gah.

Hopefully next week i'll be able to see a few friends. Maybe on saturday. I kinda want to see my friend Fauve and my friend tama. I also need to meet up with the exhibit crew and i'd like to see my friends Natalie and Tanya at some point. And Marie-Claude. Gah, so many people, so little time...

Aiee! Here, have some fire with which to kill it.

This just tempts me to tell any fan of the series I encounter at school that ALL Washingtonians are vampires, myself included. :P I already have the fangs, might as well make a show of them and freak out the entire teen LDS community.

..that'll teach them to fangirl over sparkly vampires... XO

The sparkly part is a lie, there's no sun in washington.

There isn't? Then what would we call that big orb of fire seen breaking through the clouds here:

Seattle Sunbreak!
Actual shot of an actual 'sunbreak' in Seattle. And yes, sunbreak is a real term here! ^_-

I find it rather funny, all the talk on vampires. Hopefully on Saturday a whole handful of Washingtonians and I shall gather together for the sole reason of killing a vampire so dead, he's made human again. Should be fun! (Death to the sparklies! They're a lie!)

At least you didn't actually READ it. I've seen hairballs that contained more sustenance than that book. I couldn't put it down, it was that bad of a train wreck. So I nursed my poor brain by heading to the library and finding some new fantasy series to try.

*picks up "The Secret Atlas" and flips it open*

*sees the dedication to John McCain*

Aw geez, let's hope this isn't an indicator of how this one is gonna turn out...

Well, in the book's defense, some parts are actually okay. Some of the secondary protagonists seem pretty okay too. And once in a while, there's a good metaphore and hummm... The covers are very pretty (I almost bought twilight when it came out because the cover was so beautiful)

However, the content is still fangirly. However, i'm hoping the writer will do better next time. Maybe she just needed to get her fangirl out for the first series and later on she'll just get better. I'm hoping anyways, especially since some call her the next JK rowling.

I sold 3 copies of the book today, all to 14 year old girls.

Eek! Well, maybe you'll be lucky and all of the fangirls will buy it and there will be none left in the store. What is it about vampires that make them so appealing to fangirl? -_-;

I,m pretty ok with vampires, I just don't like the whole "day walker" idea. It's like, dude, if vampires could walk in the sun, they would be supermen and we would have all gotten eaten already. Flawless vampires do not interest me. I prefer the whole "living on the frindge of society in the dead of the night" vamps.

Someone should re-vamp (PUN!) vamps. They need a good story to make them super cool again. Like Dracula the first time it came out.

Idea for a comic: vampire writers fights!

Oh come on, you don't like the book that has a woman breaking her SPINE during labour?!

Ouch!!!!

I guess whomever she was giving birth to was destined to be a pain!

..ahaha bad joke.

LOL, I hope you didn't burn yourself unpacking them all.

I'm avoiding that series like the plague. Ugh. Of course, I'll enjoy the wank.

Yay for bookstore job! My dream job!

I'll admit I read some of it. I figured I can't mock something if I at least don't know of it. I wasn't a big fan, but I give the writer a chance to do better. Maybe she just needed to get all her fangirl out and her next series will be better (hopefully because she's so popular)

And if Twilight and whatever else she writes remains in that same style, that's fine too. Okay, it's not grand litterature, but it aims 12 to 14 year olds who LIKE cheesy stories. Not every book out there can be the next bible. It takes crappy stories, it takes okay stories and it takes good stories. And every type comes with it's fanbase. I dunno. I think Twilight has hit it's market well and I think that anything that can get teenagers to read is good. However, I would stop comparing it to Harry Potter and the Golden Compass. That's just not fair.

Teenagers are one thing, but this series has massive fans of 40 year old women amongst some of it's fangirliest fans.

And I heard that some people like her other book The Host a lot better. *shrugs* Go figure.

My sister's reading Breaking Dawn right now and is totally in love with it. Me, I'm still into the old Anne Rice vampire books. But I'd be willing to give Bella and her crew another chance. Right now I'm reading Mercedes Lackey and Animal Farm

I'm not sure i'd give Bella herself another chance. That character just seems like a bad idea. But the author's secondary characters are quite interesting. I think the author just has trouble creating good lead roles.

I,m glad your sister enjoys it. I feel that Twilight is aimed at a younger market and definitly hooks that market and in that aspect it's a great book. However, it's not a book great enough to cross over that age line, according to me. Ann rice is definitly for an older or more sakesperian audience.

Despite everything I still enjoy the covers of twilight. Nice covers. I hate books that market with terrible covers.
