Ok, so my handy dandy little sitemeter has told me that about a mazillion of readers that come to the Circus, get here thru this post. It was about the new young adult series, starting with Twilight. It’s really well written and very slurpy with the delicious vampires and some other-otherworldly characters. Apparently people are reading! Not just the books, but the blog as well because there are continuously fresh comments on that post. Most of you want to discuss the casting of the movie and especially the Edward character. Let me just say this. Whatever the cast, whatever the script, whatever the final cut, Edward will never live up to the one in my mind. My Edward.
Your Edward.
Having said that, I say this. Don’t sweat the movie. Go, watch, love or bitch about it, whatever. They can’t touch the Edward in your version. Ha! My only complaint, is that the books are for “young adult”. To me this means, you can have this lusty sexy character, but there will be no lusty vampy sexy stuff.
flop.
Now, I enjoy the vampires. Seriously. Quirky? hell yes. I love Angel. I love Spike. I would trip and fall on top of them for many hours if the opportunity “arose”.
The vamp books, yes. I love Jean Claude. I love Asher. I don’t love the Anita Blake series much anymore because I think the author went off the deep end. But for a long time I loved them. Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunter series. Slurp. This new one I mentioned earlier, Brotherhood of the Dagger something or other. good stuff. I was never into Anne Rice. Lestat Schmestat. not my bag baby. that movie sucked too, in my opinion. But I enjoy the vamps. I don’t think it’s really a dark side because generally, I get scared of stuff pretty easily. I’m not a D&D lover who pontificates prolifically about the subject. Maybe that’s why I don’t get scared. I’m a vampire lover in a white picket fence world. sue me.
So the gym.
FUCK AROUND.
I hurt. My fat rolls hurt. The fat on my fat rolls hurts. There isn’t really a part of my body that is feeling giddy or great. Good lord. I’m ready for that initial “i hate this, my body sucks, am exhausted” phase to go away and get into the “hey look at my ass, it’s smaller and I have so much energy” phase. One more workout tomorrow then I’m off Friday Saturday and Sunday. whew. The eating has been pretty good too…starting on Monday. The Friday night beers, Saturday night drinks, Sunday entire box (save one helping) of hamburger helper could very well have crippled my week. We’ll see tomorrow at noon. cross fingers.
what else guys? Kizz had a good day today. Many wishes from Cyberland went out to her. That always feels soo good to read. Truly. Gert wrote a lovely post too. Huzzuah to you my girl! Here’s to another year. It’s better than a kick in the pants. (because even my pants are sore right now)
Good night all. enjoy your hump-evening. May it be a verb and not only a phrase. For you. For me. For him. Definitely for me and him.
Misti Ridiculous 
Good for you for going to the gym anyway, though. You’re getting it into the program and that’s what counts.I’m pages away from the end of the 3rd book in the Twilight series. I got the 2nd & 3rd book for Christmas/birthday. I can see so many possibilities opening up. I wonder where she’s going to go because she’s about out of time to be dancing around this lustiness and not actually answering some questions head on (so to speak). I can think of a few interesting turns she might take but given her commitment to a fairly vanilla YA world I don’t think she’s going to take them. The guy in that photo will do as Edward, that’ll be fine. I’m waiting to hear about Jacob. I am, predictably, a Jacob girl, even though I don’t think he’s right for Bella.There are some strong similarities to the Anita Blake books, no? Does that weird you out a little? It sometimes takes me out of the story as I worry that she’ll make some of the same unsatisfying decisions.Good books, though, I’m very glad to have gotten into them.

yes I can totally see the similarities to ABlake. the vamp and the wolf. I do like Jacob and am really interested in how the movie will portray his puberty phase. I don’t think he’s right for her either but I do like him. I don’t really know much about the guy playing Ed but for the HP movies. Bit part. The girl playing Bella I know nothing about either. Maybe that’s why I’m not frantic about the pre-casting stuff. I too am excited to see the other family. The sisters. The thing with the YA world is…they grow up too. Will the characters grow up with their readers and begin to explore the same things? PLEASE GOD LET THEM BE SLUTTY AND EASY!!! hahahahaha. Glad you’re reading them. I’ve really loved them too. Mgirl got me on them and now we’ve got most of the salon reading! ha. Who says Oprah is the only one with power to make people read?
