- My sleep was not defective last night, ohthankgoodness. It didn't make up for the vaguely defective sleep from the past few days, but hey, it's a start!
- The sad news about Lux Interior led me to discover that I only have one song by The Cramps in my iTunes. Huh? Time to go pick up some CDs and fix that.
- I just came up with an idea for a skirt I want to make, but I'm not sure when I will have free time to figure out the pattern/gather supplies/find exactly the right image I want to use as the appliqué. I wonder if I could sweet-talk the Stroppy One into creating the design for me that I could print onto iron-on transfer paper ...
- Hey, there's that steampunk event tomorrow night at Heaven! Which I would be more interested in going to if it wasn't for the $17 cover charge. (For the record, I am not a fan of Abney Park's music. It just doesn't grab me. So paying $17 to go see the fashion show, look at vendor tables, and hear![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
djeternaldarkne and dj_sprockets spin is a little steep for my tastes.)
- You people all have seen the amaaaaaazing Twilight fandom kerfuffle that's been going on, right? No, not about the crazy lady who made a felted sculpture representing Bella's womb. (No, I'm not kidding, and no, I'm not linking.) No, I mean the EW post by Stephen King where he dismisses Stephenie Meyer as a crappy writer, and comments about J.K. Rowling being a good writer. Twilight fandom, predictably, goes crazy. A collection of thebest insane responses, and comments from people from other fandoms. (clicky-link!) My favorite clueless comment from the TwiFans: "I encourage Rowling and King himself to write the book that fascinates the readers at this point". Look, just go to Cleolinda's entry about this. (clicky-link!) Aaaah, Twilight fandom, making the rest of us look relatively sane in comparison. Thanks!

I am always ready, and most willing, to have crafty adventures with you! I am about to put up the ingredients for my frock I am making for the Vampires' Ball!
Sigh, the Twilight books are not great literature, but the fandom is what makes them truly awful. I have said it before, and I will say it again. Poor Rob P.
Here, this will make it better...

haha. sorry, every time I look at that Movie Mash Up macro, I spew tea... it took me several seconds to realize what the joke was. Didn't mean to eat your comment page with it.

-$17! Eeep.
-While in OK and looking for airplane books (since I refuse to read any more Anita Blake), I was looking at the Twilight and other teen vampire fiction. However, the Vampire Kisses series looked much better to my tastes. At least they had the goth girl as the protagonist. Any opinion on that series?

You should check out the Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Cain, if you haven't yet. I think the only reason they're considered YA is because the main characters are teens. Otherwise, they're not your standard YA paranormal novels.

Honestly, while I haven't enjoyed King's books for a while, the Dude knows his shit about writers and writing. I love his nonfiction stuff, and his earlier books when he still had an editor and listened to him, really were very good. However, he really only shines as a short story author.

Even so, I could *stand* to read one of his novels. SMeyer's work just makes my head throb and I can't keep going.

I did think that was well done, in the movie.

J.K. Rowling I've got no reference on. I've not read any of hers, yet.
Meyer, well, I've read the Twilight, Eclipse, New Moon, and am waiting for Breaking Dawn to become available in my library system (huge waitlist). I'm not impressed with the writing, at all. But yeah, the fandom is nutters, for the most part.

-d, just the thought of a felted womb sculpture has me a bit...flummoxed?
