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.

Wordle: confessions

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?
