While foraging through the book section at TJ Maxx, I came up for air holding three Dr. Seuss books and "Twilight". I managed to avoid the Harry Potter wave of the late '90's that carried everyone into the new century, and when people started talking about this latest literary obsession I figured I'd sidestep it as well. (Hey, I never claimed to not be a book snob.) Then I heard it was about vampires and the eighteen-year-old proud owner of a library of vampire fiction in me was all "Huh? Wha? Vampires?" That's when I knew it was only a matter of time. That time came to an abrupt end at the bargain bin of TJ Maxx.

Yesterday afternoon I finished the book I'd been reading and last night broke into "Twilight". It's not very well-written, and some of it sometimes makes a person want to cringe, but darned if the story doesn't suck you in anyway. I will definitely be going to see the movie, especially after checking out the cute guy (Who was apparently born in 1986. I mean, Iremember 1986. Clearly. I'm feeling a mite old now. And how does that play out with the rule of seven?) who's playing the main character, however, I might be too embarrassed to make Dave go see a teen vampire romance with me. I might have to drag a girlfriend. Or go by myself. That might be best.
