Technically it's Tuesday somewhere...

I have to say, of all the fan art I've ever seen, Harry Potter fans take the cake!

The verdict is in!

Twilight is out. Confessions are in.

Observe the evidence.

Ex. a,

The Midnight Sun leak is old hat.

Ex. b,

The final confessions of Georgia Nicolson has yet to be published!

(Will it come out in June? October?)

Ex. c,

Robbie, Dave, Laugh and Masimo pwned twilight in this recent Wordle rendering of my twilight tag. It's like Wordle knew that The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson are superior works of fast food YA.

BONAS JONAS:

:twilight:Confessions of Georgia Nicolson::McDonalds:Island Burger:

I don't know how I feel about this...

An animated Hog's Head to be placed in front of the bar of the same name. Mugglenet seems to support this, but I keep having nightmarish flashbacks to the dog (thing?) from The Never Ending Story and I whimper slightly. +++ to the Monster Book of Monsters idea, however.

Keep up the good work on making my spiffy, new hometown, the Wonderful World of Harry Potter. Thanx guyz!

*~*Sparkle*~* like Edward!

or so the blog post boasts...

Forget Team Edward

Hello Team Robbie! Edward and Jacob are yesterday's beef. Bella finally chose and left her scraps for her daughter (creepy) so what's left to benefit from a Team anything Twilight discussion? Nothing, you are exactly right noble reader!

Georgia Nicolson, on the other hand, needs your help getting off the rack of romance and into a red-bottom free existence. Should she end up with Robbie, the sensitive musician that wants a better world? Dave the laugh who is... er... a laugh? Or lastly, Masimo, her adorable Italian stallion?

Team Masimo

• He has a vair vair sexy accent from Pizza-a-gogo land.
• (Not that we have any tangible proof of this, but) he is ridiculously gorgeous. Enough so that Georgia now gets the evil eye anytime he talks to her at a Stiff Dylans gig.
  
• When he understands what she is on about, he seems like a good mix of having a laugh and being sentimental and sweet (though the language barrier often prevents her hilarity to be fully appreciated).
  

Team Dave the Laugh

• They have more in common, what with them both being nonstop laugh riots.
• She doesn't notice when she isn't wearing makeup or pajamas and other things that means she's comfortable enough around him.
• All of his girlfriends, even Ellen, have made her insanely uncomfortable. Jealousy much?
• He is her top snog.

Team Robbie

• He bought a scooter and stayed in England! Adorable and sad at the same time!
  
• Single tear drop, my friends... single tear! His feelings were more hurt than Dave's when she rejected him.
• His serious side needs to be toned down by her madnosity, just the same as her insane antics would calm down a tad if she dated someone serious.
  

I know, I know, Robbie had his chance and he broke her ickle heart (what with moving off to snog marsupials and whatnot) but hear me out. Dave the Laugh is a good option... for now. She isn't grown up enough to handle a realtionship with either Masimo or Robbie. However, her relationship with Dave the Laugh could potentially be one of those "it's better when we're not together and snogging when we shouldn't be" sorts of things. They happen often in high school and could very easily be the case here. Then Robbie can swoop in and comfort her by being her "mate" and she will lose all the rules and regulations she used to follow when dating him previously. Because, seriously, who wants to be the girlfriend of a Sex God if you have to remember to not spread your smile too wide and flare your nostrils and ... ugh too much!

On the other hand, I want Dave the Laugh to be happy too. Gah! Book 10, you and your silly finality!! If there were more books she could be with Dave the Laugh and realize he's too immature or whatever. Since there's not, I'm not seeing it happening. This makes me sad, because while I like the idea of Dave and Georgia.... Robbie! Oh Robbie...

Oh Lilo

In honor of Miss Lohan's recent dumping, here is a poem. Seemed a good time, what with it being National Poetry Month and all.

::Twinkle Twinkle Little Starlets::

Twinkle, twinkle little starlets
More and more resembling harlots
Up above the world so high--
Celebrity's fame's the reason why.

Thanks to Sara (of Librarian Boredom) to putting this random, random book in my hands!

Online program idea!

I created a animated gif of a YA book cover! ... sorta. I definitely appreciate the outcome and the possibilities this creates. A Myspace page could gain activity with a contest for the best book cover avatar. Or maybe characters from a book could be sent to an email address?
ETA: Audrey, Wait! eLouai

Nobody's perfect!

I gotta work it again and again til I get things right!

Case in point, I am a 23 year old woman that enjoys Hannah Montana, proving once again that no one is indeed perfect (because, you know, without that itty bitty factor of liking Miss Cyrus I'd be totes perfect and all...). That said, check out these Hannah Montana crafts if your library is looking to draw in crowds for some fun times and awesome tunes! The movie is only moments away so this would be a great time to capitalize on the great crafts, like the guitar pick bracelet (seen below).

If your Hannah Montana books haven't been circing as well as you'd like considering the large amount of them published, you can definitely decorate the room with them and I can guarantee you that at least one will be checked out, if not all of them, by the end of the program.

Anti-Twilight sentiments

Yet another list detailing why Twilight is horribly written/boring/blahblahblah. It's fine, you don't have to repeat what countless others (along with your repetitive self*) have said about this fast food saga of young adult literature. We know.

Why mention the list at all, you ask? Oh, because the author managed to add one new thought that needs to be assessed:

92. Martin Luther would not have not have approved if the book was written during his lifetime.

* Dear people on the internet,

If you are making a list, please ensure that you do not reword previous thoughts and try to pass it off as another point. This wastes my time. I could spend that time wisely finding more Twilight snark, thank you very much...

Oh dear god!

This crosses a line even for me. Some photoshop extraordinaire bludgeoned these childhood classics with dirty titles. Though, I do have to give a nod to this one. I almost feel like that should be the title to go with the coverart.

Oh hot daymn, this is my jaym

Got the hint

I got the memo.

Memorandum

To: Kristi(e)
From: the universe

Re: Breathe my Name

It has come to the attention of the universe that you failed to read this book after finding it compelling in Camille's book display and toting it home. Even after walking past it day after day after day after day going to and from your bedroom and the rest of your bubble. The attention of the universe was captured when you brought it with you to your parents' house this past weekend. The universe was impressed.

However, the universe is severely let down by you, Kristi(e). Breathe my Name was left to rot, drifting about the front passenger space. Well the universe will no longer take this lying down. You are to read this book and you will like it, is that understood missy? It better be.

The universe has taken the following actions against you to remind you that you are to read Breathe my Name in the next week or else. Or else...

1. This review of the book by librarina will be the first thing you open on Bloglines after your extended hiatus from the feed reader.
2. The review is good.
3. Damn good. You will feel compelled to push Breathe my Name further up your queue and cannot do anything to stop this urge.
   

Thank you for your attention in this matter and enjoy the book.

Another one bites the dust

::long sigh::

I think Bib-Laura-ography has finally got me to check out twitter. I Facebook (far too much to be considered healthy, frankly), blog, ning on occasion, and god knows what other 2.0 shenanigans I get up to, but previous to today, I did. not. twitter. I was very proud of this. Then Laura had to go ahead and introduce me to this list of YA authors twittering compiled by Mitali Perkins.

Thanks for ruining the slim amount of free time I had allotted to reading new books.
