Creeeepy with a capital C

Blogger is annoying my right now.  I post a picture on my blog and then a day later the picture doesn't show up.  What gives blogger?

I spent Saturday at a lake house in Western Mass for Meg's 30th birthday.  I ate too much, got tossed out of a tube and played some badminton.   A successful lake day.  Sunday I slept in and met up with Melissa for lunch.  The topic of discussion was mostly the state of our dating lives.  Things are getting interesting around these parts.  That's all I'll say about that.

I didn't sleep well last night.  The book I'm reading is giving me nightmares!  I tend to get really involved in books.  I also have really intense vivid dreams that I remember.  This is not always the best combination.  The cause of my restless nights:


The Season of Passage is one of Christopher Pike's adult novels and let me say it is Creeeeeeepy with a capital C.  I'm not a big fan of blood and gore horror whether it be books or movies.  I like suspense and mystery, something that leaves you feeling unsettled.  Considering I can't read this book before bed I think I'm feeling thoroughly unsettled.

I have some fun things planned for the rest of this week so let's get past this rainy Monday and onward towards the fun stuff!

The Last Vampire and why I'm glad I didn't read vampire books when I was in high school.

I read Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire over the weekend.  It was a quick read and I really enjoyed it.  I needed something good after the last book I read had a horribly disappointing ending.

I think it may be time to update the cover of this book though.

Sita is a fun character.  She kicks some ass and is pretty much like I'm a vampire, I kill people because I need to, whatever.  I'll be continuing the series.  I can only hope that the book art is just as fantastic on the next book.  Can someone tell me why Christopher Pike does not get the recognition he deserves?  He has some really good books.  If you don't believe me, check out the reviews on Amazon.com.  As we all know, people on the internet never lie.

I'm glad I didn't read vampire books like The Last Vampire and Twilight in high school because I would have been horribly disappointed when that new kid turned out to just be the new kid and not some vampire who has the hots for me.  One boy that had a crush on me is now in jail for stabbing someone twenty times over a cigarette.  Don't be jealous Bella Swan.
