Brennig Jones (and friends)

I should be using the powers of this caffeine/fluoxetine boost for good, not evil.

I should be harnessing the energy and directing it into the writing of all things good.

Like essays and business plans and novels and such like.

Instead I have been Twittering everyone to death.

And rediscovering Freecell.

I mean, really?

I’m also wasting time re-reading ‘Twilight’ at the moment.

I have been re-sucked in to a non-existent world of vampires that are all about not eating people.

And then, I go and watch an episode of Angel and find that the majority of vampires are actual arseholes who are all about eating people.

And then I start reading the fifth book in the ‘House of Night’ series, ‘Hunted’, which is about a whole school of fledgling vampires in a world where Jake Gyllenhall is a bloodsucker, but it’s ok, because they don’t kill people.  Unless they are power-hungry vampires of the highest order and then they just go a little bit psycho and try to destroy the world.

Am I a mental?

Yes, I know, books are supposed to be, in part, about escapism and stuff, but I’m 30 for fuck’s sake.

And the aforementioned book in P C and Kristen Cast’s ‘House of Night’ series, only arrived so soon because the teenager who had reserved it before me didn’t come in and pick it up.

Yes – teenager.

All of these vampy things are for teenagers.

I have so many books that I haven’t read that are for proper grown-up people, but I decide to revisit a series that I only finished reading maybe a month ago, and continue with another series that I started as soon as I’d finished the first series because I needed a vampire fix.

And just writing  this rubbish about both series makes me desperate to get back to them.

Oh my God.

It’s like the writers have turned me.

Their writing is of the vampiric nature and now I have a sort of bloodlust for their words.

Hmmm.

In that case none of this is my fault and I shall continue reading below my age/intellect (yeah, right) safe in the knowledge that someone else is too blame.

Excellent.

*snuggles up with book/s and episode of Angel all lined up*
