Interview with the Vampire

So, somehow, I have remained blissfully unaware of either this book or movie up to this point. I actually knew nothing about it except that Tom Cruise is in the movie and honestly I was picturing him as the wrong character the entire time so fat lot of good that did me. I was really expecting it to be like a tawdry grocery store paperback but with vampires so I was actually rather pleasantly surprised. It did make me very nostalgic for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though, so I may have to watch that on DVD this week sometime.

I already started a new book but at some point in this year’s 50 book challenge I may have to read the sequels. I have been told that the first 2 sequels are good and then they go downhill so I’ll have to see.

An old friend of mine from when I used to teach riding lessons once lent me this book from a series about this vampire hunter that had a lot of sex in it but was different and interesting. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called but if I remember I might have to look that up again.

The funny thing about reading a book well after most of the world has read it is that there were parts I had heard about long ago and had no idea they were from this so I had several "Oh, that’s from this book?" moments.

On a totally unrelated to vampires note, I have decided that I am at peace with Tom Cruise again. I never really liked him to begin with and then when he was jumping on couches and aggravating people with post partum depression, I liked him less but we watched MI:3 the other day and, while he may be a nutbar in real life, he is still cute to look at and I will not shun him.

Though he better not break poor Katie Holmes heart or he will have me and Dawson Leery to contend with!

I just got this email, unsolicited and not as a reply to anything. Here is it entirely unedited.

just go a head andmake the best you can and i will still be your frind, because if you dio me wrong, you do all customers wrong,. so do your best and lets the world see hoow good you are.

What’s weird is that I have done business with this guy before so I didn’t just delete this because this might actually be based on some kind of fact but, boyhowdee, on its own, no sense.

For those of us that listen to internet radio all day this could spell very bad news.

If you get your daily music from Yahoo Launchcast or Pandora, you have to read this.

Even if you don’t but think you might like to some day, you may never get your chance.
