(no subject)
I always get the urge to read at the worst moments. Like, during summer, when I have nothing to do and a shit-load of free time all I feel like doing is watching dramas. But the second my schedule starts filling up, I'm like, "You know what would be awesome RIGHT NOW? Reading shit about half-werefishes who are spunky waitresses by day and mammoth hunters by night. AWESOME WITH A SIDE OF JAMMING."
Also, I don't know why I have such terrible taste in books. I don't know if the urban fantasy genre has gotten worse since the last time I dipped a toe in or it's it's just a case of me realizing that, yeah, maybe I shouldn't mock Twilight so much because my taste in books isn't much better.
I mean summary after summary it's all about white girls (because I have yet to see a POC protagonist in ya urban fantasy) falling in love with beautiful boys and then realizing that, oh noes, they're fairies. And yeah, a part of me really wants to go, "Well, you should have realized that when he paid more attention to your outfits than he did to you, princess." but whateves. Or! Girl is half-vampire assassin. That's it. That's the whole book. Maybe add in a hot mentor who broods hard enough to make his forehead protrude two inches out.
I can't wait for the fall season tv shows to start. I'm mostly looking forward to Flashforward and V. CUZ THAT SHIT LOOKS ORGASMIC. I don't know if I'm really waiting for any returning shows except for HIMYM. I'll probably give Vampire Diaries a chance if only for the chance to laugh my ass off at the fact that a super old vampire has a diary. I'll watch Bones if only to see how they follow up the finale (described in one word: lolarious).I will not touch Smallville with a ten foot pole (yeah, still angry) ever since they fucked everything up to hell. So, no, thank you, CW, you can go up your own ass and back, you acid smoking douchebags.
