im drinking orange soda

I have decided I want to read the Sookie Stackhouse series of books by Charlene Harris. I think that's her name. Something Harris. I tried to put some of them on hold at the library, but I have a fine ($1.60) and I haven't paid it yet. So, perhaps I'll do that sometime soon. I have a lot coming up in the next few days, I suppose.

For one, Halloween tomorrow. I'm not going to the library tomorrow. I have to take a nap and take my sister to Wal-Mart. And cook some food for the party at T's tomorrow night. It will be fun. I need to charge some batteries for my camera.

Buster is very sleepy right now. He could barely keep his eyes open.

Ugly Betty tonight was wonderful. Although, I really don't like Lindsay Lohan's character, and am personally glad that she is no longer going to be on the show. Well, I think she'll be in more episodes in the next weeks, but after that, she's ka-put. In the show, she really showed some zest. I don't really mean zest, but something less Betty-like and more Fey Sommers (season 1)-esque. However, she turns out to be as Betty as Betty can be in the end, proving to be true to her heart. *aw* Is the idea of the show that Betty has to have a moral attitude about life in NYC in a fashion magazine? C'mon.

Anyways, also, Grey's Anatomy was a wonderful episode. I feel bad for Yang, we thought she was gonna get a man this season. Finally, over Preston! He was a promising match for her though. What a shame. The reason is dumb anyway. Well, not really. The new trauma surgeon went to Iraq in the war, and he was one of 20 soldiers and 19 of his men died. Blah blah. War is bad.

I like to use the same adjectives so that neither episode had to compete on which adjective is greater than the other one. Cause there are degrees to wonderful and awesome , I guess. Or, I'd like to think there are.

Whatever.

Today, the weather got warmer. I barely needed my jacket. It got chilly when the sun went down though. Quite so.

It's too late to read right now, but I've been wanting to read Breaking Dawn all day. I haven't really had time. Which reminds me that I really need to upload the pictures from the wedding onto my computer. Jeez. I should make a list of "things to-do." Maybe not.

It just felt like so much to do.

it's cran-tastic!

Apparently this page has been up for almost an hour and I haven't typed anything yet.

Well, here goes:

I thought of several semi-neat things to talk about today, but now I can't think of anything I was going to write about.

Oh yes. I've been reading The World According to Garp by John Irving, as some of you may know. It has changed my life. I don't know. My perspective on people, writing and other things, I guess. It has rehashed my love for Irving's novels and I feel as though I must read more of him. I still haven't finished Breaking Dawn, which I'm a little ashamed of, but when you don't want a series to end, what else are you supposed to do?

I read in Garp that writers have a very selective memory, and I do believe this to be true, because I can remember things about totally random things, but then not remember exactly what a Golgi Body does for Biology. I should remember those kinds of things.

There is the option of re-reading it, but ... M has my copy of Twilight and has yet to finish it.

L recommended that I read The Cider House Rules, also by John Irving. I'm going to take her up on that, considering X is most likely coming down from Oxford this weekend and she can bring me L's copy.

Sometimes I feel like I'm talking about LC when I talk about L.

Next, perhaps I'll re-read A Widow for One Year and The Hotel New Hampshire. I would re-read Until I Find You, but it's quite large for a hardback book, and I don't want to carry that around with me on campus.

I'm feeling in a very Veronica Mars mood right now. I don't know why. I was reading some quotes from the show earlier. But I couldn't find the quote I was looking for. Oh well, I'll settle for something a little less Veronica-ie and just have something silly. i.e. the title of the blog.

Le sigh. I think I'm going to watch some Veronica Mars just to get it out of my system.

BTW: Kristen Bell has not been on any recent episodes of Heroes, which is making me a little sad, but I know she's gonna come back and kick some serious Company ass when she returns. Oh yeah. Either that, or try to hurt Sylar.

I think I read a theory on Heroes Wiki about Sylar and Elle having a baby though. I don't know what these people are thinking. Although, when Peter went to the future, Sylar did have a little boy there. Dum dum dum. That's supposed to be eerie music for those of you who didn't get it.

I read this on the imdb.com WEEN news:

Meester Born In Jail

2 September 2008 6:29 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester was born in jail, according to scandalous new U.S. reports.

The actress' mother was serving a federal prison sentence in Texas when she gave birth, and although baby Leighton was born in a halfway house, her mum returned to prison after her daughter turned three months.

According to America's Star magazine, Meester was raised by a relative while her mother completed time for her role in an illegal drug enterprise.

The publication also claims Meester's grandfather, father and aunt were jailed for drug dealing.

Meester's publicist was unavailable for comment when WENN went to press.

Very scandalous, but not so Blair Waldorf style. Maybe in a parallel universe where Blair was actually really white trash. HA.

Anyway, I watched the season 2 premiere of Gossip Girl, and I have to say I was a little shocked about the newest references to the actual novelizations. For those of you who have read the books, and have not yet seen the episode, it's very interesting. Let's just say something very 'royal' happens for Blair.

Overall, I very much enjoyed the episode.

It's very late, and I was hoping to wake up early, but I don't think I'm going to want to....

I reluctantly began reading the 'Jacob POV' in Breaking Dawn, the final book in the Twilight Saga. I'm not a big Jacob fan, but his interactions with his tribe and the vampires, it's very emotional, I guess. His hate for the vampires, because he's a werewolf, and they're made to destroy vampires. However, Bella Swan is very attached to both Jacob and Edward, the vampire Bella's in love with. And a lot of things are going wrong and there are attacks about to happen. It's all so ... suspenceful.

I will soon post an opinion post on Snuff, since I have recently finished that book. Which reminds me I need to go to the library.
