+ I've been quite absent from LJ lately. It's a lack of time rather than a lack of love. I do still try to comment when I can, but that's not nearly as often as I'd like. I still love you all though!

+ I also love public holidays, days off work, my Wii Fit, sexy pictures of Callum Keith Rennie, sexy pictures of David Hewlett, and cheesy young adult fiction.

+ Speaking of which, has anyone read Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series? I recently finished the second book, and I'm a little bit in love with them. The writing isn't particularly great; it feels a bit like reading the diary of teenage girl, but they're incredibly addictive and entertaining.

+ In not so good news, my doggie has to have surgery next week (on the 24th). :( She's had lots of trouble with her dewclaws, so she's getting them removed. Apparently it's a very simple procedure, but I still worry about my sweet Gracey. I hope it all goes well.

My copy of Michael Turner's book "Hard Core Logo" finally arrived. I couldn't put it down, and read the whole thing in one sitting. ( More under the cut )

PS I made a new HCL icon. *points*

I just finished reading "We Need to Talk About Kevin" by Lionel Shriver.



The Blurb: "Two years ago, Eva Khatchadourian's son, Kevin, murdered seven of his fellow high-school students, and cafeteria worker and a popular algebra teacher. Now, in a series of letters to her absent husband, Eva recounts the story of how Kevin came to be Kevin.

Fear that her own short comings may have shaped what her son has become, she confesses to a deep, long-standing ambivalence about both motherhood in general and Kevin in particular. How much is her fault? When did it start to go wrong?

Or was it, in fact, ever 'right' at all?"

If you've ever been at all interested by the 'nature' vs 'nurture' debate, it's a must read book. I strongly recommend it. Seriously - find it and read it!

Anyway, it's now after 2am, and I have to wake up at 6:30, so I really need to do the sleep thing.
