I’ve started tweeting

It’s quite fun, and yes, I feel trendy. For hockey news, new vampire fiction “stuff,” and questions you’d never thought about before, follow me.
When you follow me, you can expect tweets like this:
If you’re talking to someone, gesturing wildly, and your arm goes up and smacks someone walking by, who’s more embarrassed? You, or the [...]

What happened to Anita Blake?

For the past month or so, I’ve been glued to the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton, which currently has about 16 books in the set. About halfway through the series, everything goes straight to porn.
Anita Blake is a vampire hunter, necromancer, and by the time we get to the 16th book, kind of [...]

Dusk graphic novel – vampires!

This is overdue, but to be fair, it’s the first graphic novel I’ve ever read.
Dusk, written and created by David Doub, features two main characters, Ash and Eve. Ash is a vampire, and Eve is a sort of vampire hunter (but formerly typical human) who appears to be in love with Ash and his blood.

Kid freak out

People have said this is fake. It can’t be. I saw that German kid when his computer game wouldn’t work. This is World of Warcraft. I don’t know what that means except I think the Warcraft people are the epitome of crazy.

I like this. Now, you like it.

Buffet etiquette

I recently discovered that at buffet lines, people are more likely to think that if the person in front of you takes two of everything, it’s okay.
Friends don’t let friends pick out so much food that their plate looks like the mountain from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”

Jesus = lady liberty?

Recently, I prayed about something and when I did it, I thought of Jesus but instead of picturing the Jesus that everyone knows and loves, for some reason, I imagined praying to this:

Maybe it’s because my uncle looks like Jesus. Like this, but more realistic:

Twist

30 Rock is probably one of the funniest shows on TV, and more than once, I’ve found myself wanting to use a catch phrase (word?) from the show.
So, when something happens that you didn’t expect, say “twist.” For example, your mother tells you that the man you thought was your father really isn’t. Ooooh, twist. For [...]

Recommended vampire books/series

In my experience as a reader, vampire fiction is generally pretty good–the subject matter is very attractive for the writer. There’s the teen angle and the more adult genre, but since I like both, I thought I’d put together a list of all series and individual vampire novels that I would recommend (and some I [...]
