Sadly, today there was very little to do at work today. I hope that this is not the start of a downward trend that could end with layoffs. Hopefully, there will be more work to do tomorrow...

After work I went over to the library to pick up more books on tape or more precisely books on cd. I have recently noticed that I enjoy books that are in this brand new genre called, Paranormal Romance. I think this due to that fact that I am a Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Star Wars, fan...AKA, a female geek. All I know is that I find it hard to get into a book where no one is in any type of potential physical danger.

So far my favourite authors in this genre are Mary Janice Davidson. I adore her outrageously zany Undead vampire series. The series is about a recently dead wisecracking 30something vampire queen.

Another one of my favourite paranormal romance writers is Charlaine Harris. I love her humorous Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mystery series. I mean how could I possibly dislike a series that includes Elvis Presley as a dimwited vampire named, Bubba? Also as an extra added bonus HBO has ordered an hour long pilot of the series to be written and directed by Alan Ball. I hope that Ball will be able to capture the fun, kooky, off the wall feeling of Mrs Harris books. As I understand it the series will premiere sometime in 2007. No word yet on who has been cast for the series

I also enjoy reading Tananarive Due. As far as I know she is the only African American female besides the late Octavia Butler who writes in this genre. I have read all of Dues vampire books, My Soul To Keep, and The Living Blood. As you can see, so far there are just two books in the series. As I understand it Due is currently working on the third book in the series, The Colony. She has recently completed a mystery book with the actor, Blair Underwood, and her husband Steve Barnes, called Casanegra: A Tennyson Hardwick Story. The book is due to come out this summer. I can not wait to get started reading the book of hers I picked up tonight, Joplins Ghost.

WHAT I AM WEARING:
Today, I have on another fair isle knit sweater. This one is coloured sky blue, lemon yellow, white, and grey. I also have on a dark blue turtleneck, blue jeans and New Balance 653 shoes.
