I haven't blogged in a while, so here goes...

Work's been busy and stressful as usual. I'm not having to work so much overtime at the moment so it's good (touchwood) I've accumulated about 5 weeks worth of annual leave and hoping to take some time off. Do some more travelling.

Doing a lot of reading at the moment. Especially good to curl up next to the fire with a good book since it's autumn and cold My friends have convinced me to read Twilight. It's okay. I think the book is waaaay better than the movie. One thing gets to me though - I like romance and mushy stuff, but I can only take a certain amount of "I'm so much in love with Edward!" I hear the books get better so I'll keep reading. Vampire Knight and Fevre Dream (by George R R Martin) hold the special place in my heart for vampire stories Dracula and Interview with a Vampire hold 2nd place. Then Buffy I think. Haha, now that I think of it, Yuuki does a lot of "I'm so much in love with Kaname!" too!

But yeah, I highly recommend "Fevre Dream" by George R R Martin. It's totally gripping and dark. Joshua York is the name of the main vampire and the story is set in 19th century America. I've read it a few times and still leaves me with that nostalgic feeling... Hehe, if I had to imagine York as an anime character, he would look like Kaname with Zero's hair or an older Riku from Kingdom Hearts
