These violent delights have violent ends / And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, / Which, as they kiss, consume. (Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Sc. 6)
I usually see movies that I like several times while they’re still in the theater; that’s nothing new. However, I haven’t seen a movie twice on the [...]

true blood vs. twilight

book mania: an update
I’m beginning to suspect I won’t be able to accomplish my goal of reading all of my library books before their due dates arrive, although it isn’t entirely out of the question.

I’ve got four books due a week from today and two due two days after that: Who’s Looking Out for You? (O’Reilly); Slander: Liberal [...]

q&a with stephenie meyer
Note: If you haven’t read Eclipse (and are planning on it), there are spoilers contained in the following.
I was exploring Stephenie Meyer’s website last week and in addition to finding those awesome playlists I mentioned, I found a Q&A on the Eclipse page. I scanned it initially, and then I stopped and started reading more [...]

finished!
So much for using The Host to bridge the interminable gap between now and the time Breaking Dawn, the fourth — and final, sob! — in the Twilight saga, is released in August.

read in 2008: update
9) Atonement, Ian McEwan: Fabulous. Yes, it took me a really, really long time to read, considering it’s only a 300 page novel. This is one of those rare instances where I like both the book and movie equally. The guy who adapted the book into the screenplay did a really fantastic job.

lives ruined and blood shed: of vampires and wizards
Logan: I thought our story was epic, you and me…spanning years and continents. Lives ruined and blood shed. Epic…
Veronica: Come on. Ruined lives? Bloodshed? You really think a relationship should be that hard?
Logan: No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.
It was one of my favorite quotes — and one of [...]

um, wow.
Got an email from the library at 4:30 that New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer’s acclaimed Twilight series, had (finally) arrived.
By 6 p.m., I was reading it. I took a break to watch American Idol, the Gosselins’ skiing special, and to talk to Erin for a while, but it is 2:44 a.m. and [...]

i don’t know whether to hug her or throw something at her
ETA: Eight hours, 45 minutes, and 498 pages later, I’m done. So. Amazing. And now I’m irritated that I’ve got to wait for the next one, especially when the third one is already sitting on my shelf…sigh…
So a few months ago, Erin recommended a particular book series to me. I remember thinking it sounded really [...]
