My big sister just watched Twilight and was telling me how great it was because "the vampires aren't ugly-looking like on Buffy, they sparkle in the sun! And they're vegetarians!"

Heheheh. I guess if you never grew up with the idea that vampires had to be slinking about in the shadows and be... well, evil and soulless, the concept of sparkly vampires works.

I joined a gym lately and I'm a bit dismayed at the further loss of my limited free time. But well... I've been feeling flabby for months and wanted to change that, so. I feel like a hamster when I'm working out, but otherwise it's been fun. On the other hand, I'm starting to be horrified by how much this is making me judge other people's bodies. I used to notice nice clothes more--now I'm looking at people and thinking that they need to lose weight. This is a terrible mindset to have. >_>;;;

So far, I've been amused that my gym-going schedule is determined by 1) its opening hours, 2) where did I put my gym shoes, and 3) when I need to wash my hair.

Bookblog

I kept putting this off. ( Has anyone ever read The Legend of Nightfall by Mickey Zucker Reichert? Well, this is the sequel. )

Am reading Margaret Mahy's Heriot, that's up for the next bookblog.
