Oh, gee whiz. THANKS.
Me: So it's my birthday and I got cake, and some money, and six months of Netflix, and a gift certificate for groceries. I wonder if I'll get anything else.
Mother Nature: Oh, uh, hey. I almost forgot. I know, I know, it's a week early, but here ... have your period.
Me: ... you don't really get this whole gift-giving thing, do you?
Mother Nature: Yeah, I don't have a lot of girlfriends.
Me: Boy, I wonder why.
Mother Nature: It's a mystery.
Me: You couldn't just blow something up for me?
Mother Nature: Oh, shut up.

Is anybody else reading the Houses of Night series?
Okay, look, I like it. I do. But I also like Cheetos and Pepsi for breakfast. I like things that are not good for me. I know this already.
I bought the first book on a whim, and then I let Jess read it, and then her mom read it, and now all three of us are hopelessly addicted to the damn things but with the understanding that we all kind of want to either shake the Casts or Zoey within an inch of their lives. The one thing we can all agree on is that for the fifth book we're all going to make a drinking game of it and take a shot every time there's a mention of "an affinity for all five of the elements." We should be drunk by chapter three, I think.
But I'm in the middle of the fourth book and seriously, Zoey's got severe Mary Sue-itis when it comes to guys. Can she go through a book without having whichever vaguely attractive straight guy crosses her path fall for her? Please? At this point I almost wouldn't be surprised if Damien gave up the gay and declared they were soulmates.
Speaking of the gay, is it just me or does each book's attempts to state in some form or another, "Damien's gay and that's okay!" feel awkward and weird to anyone else? I mean, yes, great message and all, but still.
Oh, and the implication that past incestual abuse by her father may have influenced Neferet to hate all humans to the point of wanting to destroy mankind in all-out war? Um ... yeah.
