Saturday, August 28, 2004 Not Getting People We got our big fat envelope from the book club the other day. Trash sat at the kitchen table and read to me from it while I made myself a sandwich. "I don't get people," she said. "Why do you look at the romance section if it confuses you so much?" "Listen to this: 'The Earl of Egremont has returned…or has he? It's been 15 long years since Christian Sauvage left England…'" "Of course his name is Christian Sauvage, to signify his dual nature. Because as everyone knows, the opposite of Christian is Savage." "'Julianne knew Christian when they were children. He was slender, immaculate, distinctive, only a little taller than average…'" "…Gay…" "'As he came closer and looked up to greet her for the first time…'" "Wait, 'looked up?' I thought he was taller than average." "I don't know. 'His thin, dark brows raised.'" "So gay." "'Their gazes met and Julianne's widened.'" "Julianne's what?" "It just said that Julianne's widened." "If that's what I think it means, the correct word is dilated." "'A sudden look in his made her think he recognized her…'" "A sudden look in his what? He has one too? And how does he 'look' with it?" "I imagine he looks kind of silly." "Hee." "Okay, what about this one: 'Bride McTierney has had it—" "Wait, her name is Bride?" "Yes, Bride." "Gee, I wonder how this one ends." "'Bride McTierney has had it with men—although deep down she'd love her very own knight in shining armor. Just once, why couldn't she meet Mr. Right? Or has she…'" "These blurb writers are very into that 'Or has she,' construction, aren't they?" "Yeah. 'From the second he walks through her boutique door—'" "Oh, of course she owns a boutique." "'From the instant he walks through her boutique door, Vane Karralakis—" "'Vane?!'" "Vane." "Is that spelled V-A-I-N or V-E-I-N?" "Ha!" "'Hello, I'm Vein. Would you like to know why they call me that?' Throb, throb, throb…" "No, it's V-A-N-E." "Oh, okay. Carry on." "'Vane Kattalakis instantly makes Bride's heart pound. More gorgeous than any man she's ever seen, Vane has long. dark hair and mesmerizing eyes—'" "And an insatiable hunger for cock." "'But Vane isn't what he seems. He's a Were-Hunter wolf fleeing for his life—'" "A what?" "A Were-Hunter wolf." "What the fuck is a Were-Hunter wolf?" "I don't know. I don't get people." "That makes two of us." Today's best search phrase: "Hurricane landfall vocab." I think the only vocab you really, truly need in the event of hurricane landfall is "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!" posted by M.

Mister Giant has done it again -- taken a normal daily event and made it hysterical... or HAS he?
By Is it sad that I recognized one of the books and actually just finshed it. It's part of a series and I just realized it's sadder that I admit it. It was actually good. And there's the really really sad part. I so suck
By Seriously, though, what the fuck is a Were-Hunter wolf? Dammit, now this is gonna haunt me all day ... Or will it?
By That's just it. A were-wolf hunter would make sense, but a were-hunter wolf? What does that even mean?
By
*snort* So bad. So very bad.
