I AM SOOOOO TIRED. I am back from Florida. Disney was all sorts of fun and crazy. Crazy being my family hitting up multiple parks on the same day. Fun was getting into a random conversation with two cast members about roller coasters in Florida vs. Jersey. Fun and Crazy was on our last night my sister and I getting to go Epcot by ourselves. The bad part of the trip was getting sick in the airport on the way home.

Oh and the Olympic Opening Ceremony? Awesome. I loves me the Olympics.

In the past three days I have read and finished 47.Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer and 28.Dark Lover by J.R. Ward. Breaking Dawn finished up the Twilight Saga and I really disliked it. Thus leading me to read ANOTHER vampire book in hopes that it was better, Dark Lover. DL was good, I think. It is popcorn movie crack boiled down to a romance book. It's pretty well-known in the paranormal romance world as being UTTER CRACK. Seriously. The main heroes, the Black Dagger Brotherhood, are named Wrath, Rhage, Zsadist, Phury, Vishous, and Tohrment. SO RIDICULOUS. I plan on reading them all. xD

Since getting back I've been kept busy in my summer job as a chauffeur, travel agent and personal assistant. Today I've been cleaning out my room with my sister. I'm going to pack up most of my stuff and put it in storage. By next week I plan on being packed up for college and everything else stored.

AND SPEAKING OF STUFF...

FUTURE ROOMMATES theo_winterwood and emhen,
I am stocking our kitchen minus food (though I did just buy seven boxes of cereal). I have cookware, new cookware, and I will show you it as soon as I fix my camera. I'm getting pots but I have casserole dishes, four placesets, matching silverware, and a 51 cutlery/gadget set. So does anyone want to buy a microwave? ^^

Okay back to the Olympics (hell yes, GO EARTH!) ^^. And then reading. And possible sorting out all my stuff. So much stuff to do.

BY THE WAY WORLD:

WHO DECIDED NOT TO TELL ME THERE WAS A NEW SEASON OF SLAYERS?!?!?!


HOLY CRAP!!!!

SLAYERS!!!!

I AM GOING TO GO RELIVE MY MIDDLE SCHOOL DAYS!!!!

I seriously have no idea what is up with me and the world around me this month. On the subject of my wrists. I went to the doctor and got diagnosed with Tendonitis/Cumulative Trauma Disorder. So bleh on that front. I'm taking Celebrex and I am SUPPOSED to go to therapy but we'll see if that happens.

I've been going to my library ALOT. The librarians love my taste in television. I've been checking out Foyle's War and the old Miss Marple series. I have also read a ton of books in relation to last year.

This summer's count:
32. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
-It's over. Finally.
33. The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler
-Ooh. Enjoyable. Loved Grigg.
34. Scandal's Bride by Stephanie Laurens
-The weakest Bar Cynster novel I have read. Barely any conflicts in the story.
35. Into the Wild by Sarah Beth Durst
-Young girl's Mum happens to be Rapunzel and they have been watching over the Wild. Wild gets loose. Fairy tales ensue all over, again. Defintely a YA book. I really need to the read sequel. It was way to short.
36. Devil's Bride by Stephanie Laurens
-Reread. First Bar Cynster book. SL writes the best regency alpha males. They were my first!
37. A Rake's Vow by Stephanie Laurens
-Second BC book. I love it.
38. Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr
-A ton of YA "faery" books are coming out. This book? I HATED IT. It seemed all over the place and I had no sympathy for any of the characters. I might read the sequel it hopes of it getting better.
39. Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie
-Funniest Romance Writer EVER. This book was so good. I usually don't read Contemporaries (Except for Nora Roberts) so this was such a great surprise. Totally reccomend.
40. Batman: Harley and Ivy by Paul Dini, Judd Winick, and others
-Paul Dini being Paul Dini, CHEESECAKE, And Judd Winick can't write.
41. Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
-I LOVE THIS BOOK. I am so glad I finally read it. Putting it down was hard. And I really want to read this in a classroom/book club setting because I need to talk about it. The movie looks to upset me as an adaptation. But as a movie it is supposed to me good.
42. The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman
-Finally read it after watch the TV adaption with Billie Piper and JJ Feild. (Sam and I are obsessed with JJ Feild. Why is the man not in more things? Also what the hell is Peter Greenway ever thinking?) I really enjoyed it. Fred and Jim were my favorite characters.
43. Wanted by Mark Millar, JG Jones
-Bleh. Not my cup of tea. Looking forward to finally seeing the movie because what the hell did they do to it.
44. The Book of Ballads by Charles Vess AND LOTS OF WRITERS
-Ooh very pretty, very lovely, must own it.
45. Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
-Finally got around to reading it. I really wish I was around when it first came out. I think the impact would have been a little different. I really liked it. I love Alan Moore's writing and I think Dave Gibbons is top notch. But seriously, the movie? Poor Mr. Moore.
46. The Shadow in the North by Philip Pullman
-I LOVED IT TOO. FRED. I love him. JIM!!! WEBSTER AND CHARLES!!!

So on my reading next list:
-Something by Evelyn Waugh. I have A Handful of Dust out from the library.
-Bronze Canticles before I die in mysterious circumstances
-Hood, because I found my copy.
-Tiger in the Well, and The Tin Princess because they round out the Mr. Pullman's Lockhart/Lockhart related quartet. Also, excellent travel reading.

So my internet died. And now goes out intermittently. The AC is broken leaving me dismal. AND ON FRIDAY I GO TO DISNEY WORLD. Hopefully after a recharge of my batteries and being away from Jersey, I shall be back.

HI WORLD.

I have been out of commission for the past few days. I have a stupid sinus infection that is close to killing me. I had a bad fever. I missed Thor winning the 2nd stage of the Tour de France because I was passed out.

And now mother nature is screwing me over. Must go find pain killers.

So, I'm probably going to be out of commission for another day or so. And I lost my cell phone. Which annoys me immensely. It's probably dead somewhere. Hopefully in my house.

Once I am back in full operating order I will be back online.

Until then.

P.S. My wrist has been killing me, which is also why lack of me being online. I finally got a doctors appointment but it is not for awhile. Awhile being the end of July.

So...

Shia LaBeouf is currently in Princeton filming Transformers 2.


WHERE ARE MY WINGMEN?!

When you see this line on your f-list, quote something from Doctor Who.

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea is asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace; we've got work to do!

The Doctor's final words, in "Survival"

--

Yes, it is my favorite quote and always will be. I finished season 2 of Torchwood. I'm caught up on Doctor Who. My top I have been knitting over about a month is almost complete. One more strap + blocking = WIN. So close.

I have much to talk about but I am distracted by INSPECTOR LEWIS on Masterpiece MYSTERY.

LEWIS! LEWIS IS WONDERFUL! And his new partner is also wonderful. I miss Morse.

I went antiquing today with my Mum and younger sister. I bought comics! First antique mall I bought a Green Lantern Silver Age Classics: Showcase 22, Green Lantern Mosaic #1, and #1 of Green Lantern Corps Quarterly (with ALAN SCOTT AND G'NORT!). The second mall I picked up a bunch of old Action Comics. At a third mall I picked up three old romance comics from the '60s that were released through DC, Charlton Comics, and MALE PUBLISHING CORP. xD

So comics, Inspector Lewis, and Birch Beer Floats. Good day.

I am being kept up by my dorky friends. Oh my.

I'm not around this weekend. My family is going to Hershey Park as a pseudo-birthday thing for me. ROLLER COASTERS!

I turn 21 on Monday which is surreal. One of my Mum's work/running friends wants to go with us on my birthday when I get my first drink. ^^

My knitting project is so close to being done. I love it despite my mistakes and am SO PROUD OF IT. I will post pictures upon completion.

And now bedtime! I love you all!
