Gemma gave me her copy of Twilight so I could see what the fuss was all about, and I finally got around to reading it last weekend. It wasn't as horrible as I thought it was going to be, but it also was nowhere near as awesome as people are making it out to be. My biggest problem with the book was that it seems to take itself too seriously. Generally speaking, vampire romances aren't heavy reading, and this one was no exception, whether or not it knew it. Edward's character seemed assy, not at all appealing, and the sparkling in the sunlight really put me off. I'm okay with vampires being able to be in the sun, but I'd rather they not glitter when they do so, please. I never connected with Isabella, and I found myself feeling sorry for her dad. I think the only characters that I liked were her dad, Dr. Cullen, Esme, Alice and Emmett. Everyone else annoyed me more often than not. In spite of all of that, it wasn't a bad read, and I'm glad I read it, even if I don't think it's the Best Book Evar.
I voted this morning, just like I did in 2007, 2006, 2005, and the last presidential election. Four years ago I worried that another term for Bush would damage America even more, and it did. Mike and I were at the polls before they opened this morning, and it was encouraging to see so many people in line with us. Regardless of which candidate they support, I was happy to see so many people in my area taking the time to come in and vote, even if it meant standing in line for almost an hour. I'm anxious to know the results of today's election, and I'm anxious to see how the next four years go. I doubt I'll be staying up to see who wins, but I plan on checking first thing tomorrow when I wake up.
I don't know whether or not this further cements my "crazy dachshund lady" status, but I just ordered these for the pups from Dachshund Delights. Jordan's will be yellow, Maddy's will be red, and Max's will be blue. The lady I spoke with is very familiar with DRNA and more specifically with Jordan's foster mom. She even remembered Jordan, which, of course, won me over as a customer for life. Even cooler - when I get around to ordering harnesses for the pups (either the hug-a-dog or the hold-a-dog), they'll give me a discount because I adopted Mister Jordan.
I still think it's stupid to mess around with the time, but as long as we have to keep doing this, I'm going to continue to enjoy the extra hour. I do love checking the clock and seeing that it's earlier than I think it should be all day. That part of DST I don't mind one bit. In addition to sleeping late, I FINALLY got the floor by my side of the bed cleaned up, something both Mike and the puppies are happy about - Mike because he no longer has to worry about breaking his neck walking around the bed, and the puppies because now they've got a straight shot to the kennel. We all have our own reasons to be happy about the extra hour yesterday.
