Last night I made one of my favorite dishes. Blackeyed peas and spinach….very tasty.

I tried to sit down and again read “Blood Noir” by Laurell K Hamilton. It has been aptly named Blood Bore by a few Lashers. I 2nd that name and have been tempted to round up my Anita Blake books and throw them away. The direction that the Anita Blake books has taken is not what I want to read. Poorly written porn with very little plot, unless you count the need to find new ways to get down and dirty as plot. I don’t. I find it amusing that although she includes necrophilia, bondage, beastiality, and multiple partners sex she seems to overlook the anal sex even though she considers herself edgy. Not that I encourage her to include it, I just find it fascinating that she strives to include all the others but steers clear of that…it’s almost comedic in how she works her way around it.

I miss the mystery/supernatural plot.

Has anyone read “Wolfsbane and Mistletoe“? I hope it’s all new stories.

I missed Taekwondo this morning. So I went to buy Iron Man this morning. Yay!

I also picked up a Latin text book or so. I needed something to keep my mind somewhat nimble. I also started messing around with my two domains and adding new things. Fun!

I picked up a book via Mom, and it was sucktacular! The title is “Vulnerable” by Amy Lane. While reading it…I got the feeling that Amy Lane is an LKH fan. Some of the plot devices seemed strangely familiar. The book was about Elves and Vampires, and seemed to be a mishmash between Anita and Merry Gentry. It has the vampire (sorta like Jean Claude) and it has the Elf (sorta a cross between a few of the guys in the Merry Gentry novels). And of course the main character of the book is well on her way to becoming a goddess. Eh. I was ok with the sex in the novel. I think my main problem is that although there was characterization in the book it was still two dimensional.

I also read the new Emma Bull novel “Territory“. I enjoyed it but I felt that it ended in a strange place. If you liked the movie Tombstone, that is exactly what it is except with magic. Kinda neat.
