The HUGE birthday post

Some are early, most are late but at least this time I have the excuse of being out of the country with no internet access (as opposed to me being a putz and forgetting).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to midnightsjane, spideygirl81, lejlkwiet, snowbryneich, ozma914, mjules, oceanee, nefelokokkygia, gretchen8642, 0_mother_0

Hope you all have/had a great day.

June's books and movies

Better late than never. Lots of books, little movies. Talk to me about them if you want.

BOOKS
Manga- Blue Exorcist #5 This is becoming a better manga than anticipated.

Book - Prince of Thorns much lauded fantasy book, click to see my take (i.e. Prince Misogynist McRapey)

Graphic Novel - Outlaw: The Legend of Robin Hood as advertized, Robin Hood fare

Book - The Restorer a mystery that makes me want to find some people in writers groups past and kick them in the nuts for convincing me you couldn't do psychic detective mysteries.

Manga - Raiders #5 & Raiders #6 supernatural, religion twisting

Book- Wolfsbane fantasy

Book- The Illustrated Man reread in memorium of Bradbury's passing.

Graphic Novel- Dungeons & Dragons: The Legend of Drizzt - Neverwinter Tales boy this takes me back.

Book- The Janus Affair steampunk

Book - Blood Bound Urban fantasy(werewolf)

DVD's - Okay there weren't many. My parents are currently borrowing my netflix membership since I was out of town/too freaking busy

Red Riding Hood a huge stinker of a fantasy

Woman in Black Typical horror but it wasn't bad seeing Daniel Radcliff in a new role

And Hey look NO anime this month! (only because I forgot to review one)

Kanda is PISSED

I brought Soul home today and Kanda has spent the entire day under the futon in an outright killer sulk. If he could wish me dead, I'd be toes to the sky right now. I told mom that Kanda didn't miss Soul. No one missed Soul.

And NO ONE knows what's wrong with him. THe vet kept his litter for me. No diarrhea, no blood. WTF? SHe has no clue. THe bloody stool i gave her was sterile. There is absolutely no reason for this. He has no parasites or any reason at all for this.

Mori the cat came and sat with me while I waited for the vet. She's lost a lot of weight. I commented on it only to learn she has liver failure and is dying. Sigh. We did talk about the vet keeping Soul but she doesn't think he'd adjust to life in the vet office and i don't either. I don't know what to do with him. I just can't keep a cat who spends 6 months peeing/pooping on my floor the moment it gets hot, can i?

Thanks to ELD and my friend from my Athens area Nano group for saving my author's chat. It would have been awful otherwise (though one poor guy kept trying to talk to me and goodreads didn't send me his comments). What can you expect on a summer saturday afternoon? It's sort of a waste. I doubt I'll see a single sell but the two people I didn't know are getting free copies. Still, it was a lonely feeling hanging out there all alone.
