Teenage Wasteland - Vampire Style

I have been meaning to write about this for a bit, but finally got a glimpse of the trailer for the movie and was reminded that I wanted to mention it... really starting to think I have adult ADD.

Anywho, there is this series of teen books by Stephenie Meyer, they are about vampires - actually the story of a teenage vampire named Edward who falls in love with a human, Bella.

I know you are asking yourself why would I ever read about teenage vampires? Well, because they are really, really good.

The series includes:
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn (Aug '08)

I was skeptical when I picked them up at the library. As usual I had reserved the first book and forgot about it. I really didn't think I would be interested in a teen novel, but thought I would give it a go and could not stop, I think I read all three of the books in about a week.

Check out the trailer, the movie comes out in December and I will drag Shelly along with me I know she will like it, just like Outlander. That is a whole 'nother story in itself. Can you say kilt?

Oh my gosh Susan! Nancy totally hooked me on these and I just wrote about them yesterday on that other blog you never go to!! Too funny!!! I was going to call you and ask you if you'd read. These things are sooooo addictive. I'm not allowing myself to buy book 3 for 2 more days because once I buy it, I will ignore everything in my life. I'll probably hide in the bathroom stall at work to read it.

Carey, these books are in no way scary, they're amazing.

Susan, again with the embedding video thing. Can your geeky work friends help me??

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.).

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already. At our...
