Anna : Why do vampires suck?

After months of Twilight, True Blood (the show and the books) and then flash backs to Lost Boys I am left wondering, how can vampire stories have so much appeal while at the same time sucking SO MUCH??!?

Guess I'm off to watch Near Dark again ... cry little sister ...

Anna : Twilight

Muse + crappy vampire/werewolf teen-fiction = THE BOMB!

Definately "good skank" but side effects may include being late for work and forgetting important things like keys.

Ben - and the living is easy.

Not been up to much. Reading, cooking, cycling, beach. Recomend a book called Stiff by Mary Roach about human cadavers and their various uses and 1688: a Global History by John E Wills about most of the world in the year 1688.

Evelyn - GoodReads

Think I'm catching Tancred's cold, so spent the weekend at home on the web - started a bookshelf at GoodReads in an attempt to read more (and spend less time pfaffing around on the web).

Becstarr : Yoga or swimming or something

Burst into tears at work at one point today. Think I may need some extra yoga or swimming or something. Babysat Aidan (2) and Alana (almost 5) with Dave in the evening out at Haberfield. Had a lot of fun with storytime, and got to debrief with Dave as well as have a read of Alana's last Christmas present from D: "Henrietta - there's no-one better". I definitely need a copy!

Shoshe - library tours

Today I saw an original Gettysburg Address, cuneiform tablets, a leaf of a Gutenberg Bible, and a lock of Charles Dickens's hair. The Rare and Manuscripts Collection here has its own building.
