Stripes! Lickable Stripes!...and WERES! Wolves and Bears! (Oh My!)

So My head is splitting open and my back is KILLING me because the only comfortable reading spot in my room is my bed and I can never get comfortable so i end up rollllling all around while reading. Well yesterday afternoon through the wee hours of the morning I was reading Bengal's Heart by Lora Leigh, and then early this morning I ran to the store and grabbed Sherrilyn Kenyon's Bad Moon Rising. I JUST finished reading that one. 2 days in bed with books. I hurt. but they were worth it! :) Between Cabal's licktastic stripes and Fang's yumminess (ok...I was on a major Dev high in that book, because face it. He was in a lot of it!) Yeah...good dreams tonight for me.


Now... Can I get a copy of Dreamfever before I die? Please!!! (I can do a triple book reading season. I don't need a working spine.)

Boredness

I am soooo bored. I should go ahead and take my nyquil and sleep, but I am not ready to sleep yet. LOL. I actually get a day off tomorrow. I have not had a day to sleep in for weeks! I left for vacation the 12th of July and got back the 29th. Then I worked the past 4 days. Tomorrow I am not working. Leah is staying the night with Shaun so I won't get woken up in the morning (yay!) so I will get to sleeep and sleeeeeeep and sleeeeeeeeeeeeep.
I am elated.
If you haven't figured it out yet...there is no purpose to this post. I am just blogging to blog. For the sake of bloggage everywhere. Soo....I guess I will scamper away before I find a tangent to attach myself to. But before we go...I give you...a LOLcat!

Fever Series Contest Entry is Complete



I completed my entry to the contest. It isn't my best work, my hands are too shakey to hold a camera and I only had limited filming time due to my trip to Scotland. But I think it was a good effort. Special thanks to Catie who performed an original piece for the video, Tiffany (my sister) for being Mac, Matthew for putting on the blonde wig to play V'lane, Joe for being Malluce and letting us spray his hair with black hairspray to be Barrons. And Ingrid for wearing the Z-lo with class through an Edinburgh close for me. lol. The video is posted on youtube, linked at the bottom of this entry. Please watch it, comment if you want. Someone has gone through the contest entries and given them all bad ratings. None of the entries are over 2.5 stars which is kinda rude considering the time and effort everyone put into these things, regardless of if it is live action or artwork. Not many entries are posted and everyone did wonderful with what they had to work with. It irks me when something is rated low but no one who does so offers the constructive critcism as to WHY it deserves a low rating. *off my soap box*

Enjoy the trailer! and Looking forward to seeing the remaining entries pile up over the next couple of days.

Farewell Scotland!


I didn't get the oppertunity to keep this and the Scotland blog updated while over there due to the lack of wifi at most of the hotels. Sorry. However, I will share some of my favorite photos with you here. The trip was 2 weeks starting and ending in Glasgow. We went up the West coasts and down the East coast to make it back. Highlights of the trip for me were the Isle of Staffa which had the Puffin colony on the top (yes I hiked my ass to the top to see the Puffins), the castles, Loch Ness, and Pete in Edinburgh. Only met him briefly, but I was smitten by his adorableness. And he wasn't even blonde...LOL

Here are some pics. When the big giant album is posted, I will share the link. I took over 1000 photos.

Scotland Awaits!


So it is midnight here. It is officially Tuesday. In 9 hours I will be boarding a plane in Jacksonville and flying to Newark, NJ to catch a connecting flight to Glasgow. This is my first venture out of the country and I am both nervous and excited. I am elated while scared. What did I get myself into? What on earth possessed me to watch LOST with my roomie yesterday?!!! My anxiety level is high, but seeing how I will probably never get to leave the country again...I plan on enjoying myself, damn it. Stay tuned here for info and pictures as well as the official Scotland Blog being updated by all of us on this trip:

Filming the Fever Trailer for the contest

So...as some of you may know....I am filming a trailer based on the fever series for a chance to win a trip to Dublin.


I am pretty sure I am not going to win, because:

a) I am having to rush due to the fact that I am leaving for Scotland next week while everyone else has a full month to prepare and film.


b) I can't hold a handheld steady so my shots are shaky.


c) It rained so our locations got altered to avoid ruining the wigs.


d) I had a limited time to get people to play the roles so didn't necessarily get the best people for the parts. V'lane is a good ole country boy with a big belt buckle and goofy facial expressions. Barrons is scrawny with black spray in hair dye. Yeah...and Mac is taller than he is with her boots on.

So yeah...to those who thought I was a sure thing to win, I hate to tell you but there is no way that I will. I am pretty much doing this for the fun of it. I don't plan to win.


Here is rather comedic scene of Mac nulling V'lane. Sorry for the quality. the camera was pretty clear, it is the blog streaming that decreases it.

(notice the goofy facial expression. grrrr)

Soooooo....I got props/wardrobe/and equipment ready for this fever trailer video thingy. I got Catie composing the music. And tomorrow I am tracking down the people I am sticking wigs on and squirting with fake blood. I think I have spent...around $500 on this thing and I only have one week to film everything before I leave the country. *sigh* is it wrong that I got a strange thrill out of wearing the V'lane wig? I know. I am a sick sick obsessed girl...
