Breaking Dawn Release Party



I don't normally like to use my blog to advertise my work, but it seems appropriate considering how much it represents of my recent activities. I have been helping to organize a release party for the fourth book in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn. You can visit our website for more details, and if you live anywhere remotely near Long Beach, you really ought to come for the party. Dressed up, of course. It's at La Muse East Village Cafe on Ocean and Linden. Call ahead if you want to join the die-hards for an exclusive pre-party dinner. And if you have any costume ideas for me, send them my way. I'm all out of fangs and fake blood.

    Um, CRAPOLA. You originally told me this was taking place on the 2nd, which is Saturday, and I just realized after talking to mom that it is on FRIDAY, the 1st. Poopyfartola. Ok. Will discuss with hubby and see what weekend plans entail and see what we can do about all this misinformation communication stuff. Perhaps I can still come...

    I am sorry. To begin with, I thought it was the second, too. Because the book IS being released on the second. Only midnight on the 2nd is really the night of the 1st. It took a while for me to figure that out. If you can't make it, dear one, I will understand. It's not as though you're reading the books or anything. And Spencer Smith of the Noir, along with his wife, will be staying in my room. So we'd have to be cozy on the man-room floor anyway. It's your call. I will not feel bad if you can't come. I will feel bad if you don't haunt my comments box like gmail and never read this. :)

    I stalk your blog like a crazy sister-woman, so of course I will read this! I will probably come to LB on Saturday sometime. That way I can have dinner with my hubby and not sleep on a floor. Sorry...

Can someone please explain why my Quicktime isn't working? Anyone with prophetic awareness of my little Atlas, none so old but recently behaving so?

because you were all wondering what I'm writing my dissertation on, here's a brief synopsis of my 'research context': When James Macpherson published his Fragments of Ancient Poetry in 1760, he went to great lengths to make the Fragments appear to be authentic remains of an ancient, heroic oral tradition. His reasons for this were largely political, and as such, influenced the content of the epics themselves. As an attempt to establish a particularly Scottish identity, the poems were quite effective. However, to do so required both a simplification and a manipulation of traditional mythology. Stripped of anagogical significance, the Ossian epics more or less represented an Enlightenment version of history, tradition, and mythic heritage. The stories themselves were changed by their very purpose and in turn changed the manner of representing myth in future narratives. Moreover, the emphasis on the Ossian epics as authentic tales from the past, as ‘fragments,’ served...

I just finished Shiver , by Maggie Stiefvater, the other day. From the first few chapters, I had every reason to expect this book to rival the other dark-teen-romance novels recently released (you know which ones I mean). And in a way, it did. There was nothing obnoxious about this book. The characters were mostly believable and endearing. The story was subtle and simple. Maybe a little too simple. At times, maybe a little too subtle. The best chapters were the ones from Sam's point of view, when he's a wolf. That doesn't take up a whole lot of the story, unfortunately. I mean, it would seriously hamper the progression of the plot if he was a wolf for much more of the time, but the writing was still at its best then. Perhaps because it seemed that the poetic, lyrical passages were justified. I like Rilke just fine, and I know plenty of people who compose song lyrics in their heads, but Sam as a human was just maybe a little too emo for me. It could just be that I'm almo...
