Saw the HoV trailer. OMG!!! squeee!!! etc.etc.etc. I am going to LOVE this movie. I KNOW it!!! But WHY, OH WHY do I have to wait till September to see it??? If they can show it at Cannes NOW, why cannot they show it over here? It's not fair. As if having to wait half a year for Alatriste wasn't enough... *pouts*

Have you read Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series then? It's not as good as it used to be, in my opinion. I still haven't got the latest one. But I love the Merry Gentry series.

I know, thank goodness for the internet! It's a godsend, in so many ways. It's got lj, porn, friends, amazon...what more could a girl ask for? ;P

I would definitely rather have a handful of close friends that I can be completely honest, open and myself with. Even if I don't always talk to them, I know they're there, as I am for them. It means so much more. I'm definitely not a party girl, but that's okay. Ooh, being whisked away by Viggo...sounds pretty good! ;D

And it wasn't a ramble. *hugs* Random digression is good. :)

I have read two first books of the Anita Blake series, on my sister's recommendation.;) They are a quick and funny read, but not exactly my sort of thing. I find the style too... American, somehow (I do live in the USA, but only since 2002, and I still feel like a stranger here - for many reasons...). I much prefer Anne Rice... and recently, Tanith Lee (also thanks to my sister - she got me into the whole gothic thing, lol).

Random digression is good. :)

You will be getting more of it from me, that's for sure.;P

I used to adore Anne Rice. I loved Louis and Lestat. Madly. But then I started to hate her books. I've never felt that way before. They made me furious and upset and I couldn't stand it. I threw most of them out in the end and I'm sorry it ended that way. I can see why you think of the Anita Blake books as very American. I think it's her style, in part.

As for Tanith Lee, I've always wanted to read her books but never have. I must start looking for some.

And yay! I look forward to it!

OMG! Louis and Lestat!!! They were my first slash OTP, before I even knew that such a term existed.;) I even wrote some porn about them - but I never posted it anywhere, because Anne Rice officially forbids fanfiction and I didn't want to get into any sort of legal trouble.:/

And yeah, the latest books are just... weird. I no longer recognize Lestat as the character I fell in love with. So my Anne Rice fling is basically over too... but I'll always have fond memories.;P

Louis and Lestat were my first slash love too. :D They are perfect together. I love them. I even had two cats called Louis and Lestat. ;D

Yeah, she's funny about that. *sigh*

I stopped reading around the time of Merrick. I was crushed. I identified with Louis but plain adored Lestat. I like the movie too.

Pleasant memories. :D

Wow, vampiric cats!...:D Were they black and golden, respectively? ;P

I identified with Louis but plain adored Lestat.

Holy crap. We are too alike for our own good.:D

And the movie... YEAH.:P The only part where Tom Cruise showed he really can act, lol. One of the gems of my DVD collection...

*hugs*

Louis was black with green eyes. Lestat was pale ginger, closest I could get to blonde, and he had blue eyes. Perfect. :D They would curl up together. They were so adorable.

I like it! :D Tom Cruise was definitely great in it too. Very Lestat. I should watch that again soon.

*hugs*
