I Love To Hate You

I am so busy! We're in the middle of the BP09 process, and at the same time I'm juggling two other major projects, _and_ have to keep in mind I still want to fit into these skirts of mine two weeks from now everytime I walk into a store!

The last couple of weeks have been great, with the exception of a nasty flu that jumped up and bit me. It died away by Wednesday last week, but then on Friday it returned full force and it still hasn't really let go. Only had to stay away from work for one day, though, so it hasn't been half bad with the exception of totally losing my voice in Dave's house warming party and as a result sounding like I was strung out on bad whiskey the entire evening :)

I've had a couple of lemon chicken incidents, one involving spontanious post-drunkedness with Dave and Sebastian, two yarn shopping trips, one knitting group introduction (scary), two seasons of Friends, a couple of football games, burger bonanza with Lotta and way too little sleep. It didn't make anything better that I started to read the Stephenie Meyer vampire books last Thursday, starting with Twilight, continuing with New Moon and then finally last night I finished Eclipse. For some reason I thought there were only three of them, and hence I am now on a mission to secure Breaking Dawn. And if the story doesn't end there, I'll freaking kill someone!

They are quite good, by the way. Not Nobel prize winning material, but then again, they _are_ vampire books. Easily read, and some of the characters are easily loved. Oh, and there is no cheesy sex. Some tension, but no sex at all, in fact. At least not in the first three books. Always admirable when it's vampire stories we're talking about.

On that subject (Meyer's stories, not sex), I am going to see the film adaptation of Twilight with Movie Night tomorrow. Thursday the Nordic dealer board is visiting for the day, and we'll go out for dinner in the evening. Friday I might go to my first Synapsi, if my four o'clock head dresser visit doesn't exhaust me completely. And then; weekend :D

Just to make one thing clear; The title of this post is not in reference to anyone I know or don't know, it just happens to be one of my favorite songs and Erasure is on my mind today. Life's good, my friends :)

"Love and hate, what a beautiful combination."
Erasure - Love To Hate You (Chorus, 1991)

OH NO another one gets sucked in!

I've read them all, and I love to hate them. Feel free to send me emails full of o_O when you read book four.

The film is pretty good. My mate Iwona called it "Porn for girls".

I love the storyline, it just annoys the hell out of me that she can't just... finish it! And I swear, if she lets Bella change her mind in book four I'll burn the whole pile of books.

Porn for girls? Uh. What happened to the "no cheezy sex"? I'm looking forward to seeing it this evening :)

(I'll check it out! :))

Oh, there's no sex. There's hardly any touching! But the staring, dude. The staring.

Jo said...

Btw I sent you a couple of emails but to be honest I'm not sure the email is one you check! arduinna hotmail com - do you use this, still?

C said...

Ooooh, yes, there has to be staring :D

Yes, I still check that mail address from time to time, will have a look this evening. Oh, as long as there are no spoilers!
