I had a weird day.  All morning I felt like something terrible was about to happen, when in reality it just ended up meaning that work was going to suck.  So after work I went to see Tropic Thunder which didn't suck nearly as much as I expected it to and then I met up with HG for a quick slice and a beer.  I did get a free small soda at the movie, so that was pretty cool.

Alisa has the fabulous tale of my Friday night, which was pretty spectacular.  Saturday night we did more boy friendly things (read: watched the Olympics and drank gin) so we all hung out together.

And now I feel like I need to give in and write about the hyper addictive series known as Twilight.  If you look to the side at what I've been reading, you can see that they feature prominently.  I resisted and resisted them, I see these things all over facebook about them and I didn't know much of what they were about and it seemed pretty annoying and weird and I wanted no part of it.  But then I saw the trailer for the movie and I was like, welllllll....I kind of want to see the movie and so I should probably read the books.  So I bought them all on amazon and pretty much dedicated the last week and a half to reading them.  All.  Twice.  Yea.  I spent the entire day Saturday inside my apartment to read the 4th one and I told everyone not to bother me all day so that I could stay in my undisturbed cocoon of vampire love.  Yikes.


I don't know if they put crack in the pages or what, but wow.  Those are some crazy books.  I'm a little ashamed to say that I totally loved them, but then again, you all know how I love Harry Potter and other such children's/young adult's books so it can't be that surprising.

So, yea.  Read them all.  Twice.  In a week and a half.  And now I'm feeling a serious Twilight hangover.  Aaaand this is why I don't have a life. :)

To see a really bizarre coincidence, check out my blog post from yesterday...

I think we're leading parallel lives or something. I even got an Internet smackdown at work yesterday. Which did not stop me at all, obviously, since I'm at work right now.

And...that would have been more effective if I included the URL, I suppose.
