Is it wrong to cap off a round of yoga with a couple peanut butter cups? Maybe it's best if you don't answer that.
This morning my mom wanted to go to Costco and I was having a severe Oh.My.God. I need coffee moment. It was bad. So I stopped at McDonald's (which I wouldn't normally do but I really, really needed that coffee) and got a mocha. It was pretty darn good. In fact, it was downright delicious. Yummers.
I read some books today ...
Book #55 - Feast of Fools (The Morganville Vampires #4) by Rachel Caine - I'm really digging this re-read. Reading the entire series back to back in order is letting me pick up on a bunch of little things that passed me by the first time. When bad-ass vampire Bishop rolls into town, Claire has to keep herself out of his path as best she can. However, it looks as though Amelie is going to hand over Morganville without a fight when she decides to throw a welcome feast in Bishop's honor and the only ally that Claire is left with is the half-mad scientist Myrnin. One human girl and one crazed vampire against Bishop and his ruthless horde? Yeah, right.
-and-
Book #56 - The Awakening (The Vampire Diaries #1) by L.J. Smith - I really wanted to like this book. I really did. The problems I'm running into are that (a) Elena is a whiny, spoiled little brat and (b) the writing is sloppy. Honestly, if I hadn't bought the first two books in the series I'd be dropping it right now. But I did buy both of them so I'm going to at least read the 2nd before deciding whether or not it's a waste of time.
( wherein I babble about character development and plot )
It always amuses me when I go on and on and on about books or movies or whatever that I don't like.
Jut to recap - The Vampire Diaries TV show, good (see icon). The Vampire Diaries books, not so good.
Huh. It would seem that review drained me. Awesome. Now I have to go read something good to scrub the not-good out of my brain. I'm thinking something dirty. Hmm. I must ponder this.
Later.
