Good Luck vs. Bad. Which will continue into the new year?

7:56 PM | Posted by Victoria
So.... You would think the maniac who posted on Eric Etebari's facebook that he was a fan fave for the role of Jericho Barrons if Darkfever, which has been optioned by 20th Century Fox & based on the book by Karen Marie Moning, and have him contact Karen and let her interview him would have pretty darned good luck, right?

Wrong.

Oh, how fate laughs at me. Let me count the ways....

1. Last night the toilet overflowed. Luckily, it was just toliet water, or it could have been worse, but unfortunately the turny knob thing that can cut off the water should it begin to overflow is no longer attached to the toliet. So I had to stand in 2 inches of water trying to soak it up with towels and wring it out in the tub.

2. The US Post Office has misplaced FIVE packages that were coming to me from various parts of the country. FIVE.

3. Car has been acting up. The steering wheel has been all funky. Then the engine was smoking really bad since last Wednesday. Today the engine died on me in the bank parking lot. It let me pull out of my parking space only to promptly die. A few nice men helped me get the car into a parking space until I could get my friend to use their AAA to get me towed to a car repair shop. An old lady threw a fit that we were blocking her in even though we were pushing the car to get it out of her way. The irony? I just placed an order on a rental for the weekend to visit my dad. It is a camry. My piece of crap car that I killed is a camry. The fates are mocking me.

That is my rant for the evening. Let's hope that my luck turns at the start of the new year. LOL.

I'm Back!

10:20 PM | Posted by Victoria
Okay, so after the computer issues I ended up being forced to move or suffer at the hands of psychotic roommates. So I am in a new apartment. Joined an online dating service. HA! We'll see how much that does not work out. And now I am twiddling my thumbs bored.


I did get a good laugh on Halloween though. I worked the closing shift and wore a black wig to be Mac 2.0. LOL some dude told me to have fun when I got off work, and not to forget to dress up. I already was dressed up, and I am not even going linger on the thought that he might be saying I needed to dress up for my own good....


I hope to have more to post about soon, but as of now... I got nothin'

Sorry I have been absent for so long. The motherboard in my primary computer, the desktop, fried out. Had to buy a new CPU tower. Had my old harddrive encased and turned into an external harddrive and I am slowly getting things back to normal.
The highlights of what has been going down in the world according to moi:
-Won the new Alice in Chains CD from Rock 106.1 in Savannah for having the funniest caption in a picture caption contest that I captioned before knowing it was a contest at all. LOL
-Since most of the new computer was paid for using my shiny, new Best Buy credit card, I used the extra money I scrounged up to buy a cheap futon from Target. It helps with laying in weird angles in bed reading.
-In the last 300 pages of Diana Gabaldon's An Echo in the Bone. I don't want it to end!
-Realized the necklace Bonnie is wearing in episode three of The Vampire Diaries is a necklace I purchased at Target a week or so ago! haha! Bonnie has my necklace!
-I purchased the Chicago Manual of Style: The Essential Guide for Writors, Editors, and Publishers. It is massive and I hope to learn lots from it for my future career as an editor...if I can find a job that is.
-and last, but not least, I had a happy 25th Birthday, despite reaching a quarter of a century in age. LOL

Selkies and Vampires. Mmmmm.

1:59 AM | Posted by Victoria
I am in love with a Selkie Prince. His name is Conn and I would love it if he'd come kidnap me and use me to make selkie babies with him. Yes. It would be nice. LOL!

Conn's story is book three in the Children of the Sea series by Virginia Kantra. There is also a prequel in the Shifter anthology. If you like paranormal romance, and hot shape shifter men.... check out the Children of the Sea!

Also, today was the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries on the CW. I read TVD back when I was in High School. LOVED all of L.J. Smith's books, The Forbidden Game and The Vampire Diaries being the reason I fell in love with reading. I read before finding those books, but I never truly loved to read until finding L.J. Smith. As for the series, with all the changes in character appearances and names and other things here or there I was concerned. However, I am happy with the show and will be watching religiously. Ian Somerhalder NAILED it as Damon Salvatore. I would let him bite me, that dirty dirty vampire! LOL!

I never posted it, but the podcast I was a guest on to talk about V'lane from KMM's Fever series was posted a couple weeks ago. You can listen to it on the Moning Clan Podcast page, or on iTunes. It is episode three.

Fun with the Z-Lo

10:14 PM | Posted by Victoria
So I just got home a few hours ago from my trip to Cincinnati for the Dreamfever signing. It was fun! I was so happy to see old friends and to make new ones. Karen was awesome, Neil, Leiha, and the rest were awesome as well. Julie face dived off the bed during our hotel DrF audiobook listening session. LMAO! Also, Jenn (and her unhealthy attachment to the Z-Lo) got to keep the Z-Lo in our hotel room Friday night. We turned off all the light and turned the Z-Lo on. It lit up the whole room. THEN we decided to play. LMAO!

Podcasting and Contemplating Halloween.

1:34 PM | Posted by Victoria

So, Jordy and Karen (MacKalena, not KMM lol) have invited me to their Moning Maniac podcast. They wanna talk about the incredibly sexy beyond all compare V'lane. I am excited. Of, course they are gonna have to deal with lonnnnng lengthy answers. But I will so be into my element. I love the Fever series. Because it is all first person, the only way we are shown the other characters are through Mac's eyes. Therefore, to really know the characters you have to go back and really study them. V'lane's part in the first 2 books was rather small, but I went into detail on this on the forum. In Faefever, V'lane's personality starts to show more than it has. I am highly anticipating Dreamfever, well of course I am, but with his character....I am just over eager to see what he does.

And I get to talk, live on the air, about V'lane. Soooo in my element...despite sounding 12 years old when recorded. LOL!

So I was thinking about Halloween. No not in the books....well, maybe a little. I have this $250 replica of the Spear of Destiny. I guess it should go to use. Used it in the trailer contest (no results as of yet, sorry peeps) and I may have played with the spear a little last night, hence the photo. I guess I am a Sidhe-Seer for Halloween this year, yeah? LOL

Behind the Scenes: The Fever Trailer

12:05 PM | Posted by Victoria
This was my first time filming footage myself. It showed...a little too much. Esp when I was filming and pointing and talking and forgetting the camera was on when I did. However, it is some of the facial expressions and silly thing captured on film that made the process so much fun. While some of the best moments, like the Cuff of Cruce bouncing down the cobblestones on River Street, Savannah, was not captured...Many good things were. Including the ironicly apropos part of a Seether song I sang along with while filming a Georgia landscape I didn't use. LOL


Hope you enjoy the goofiness. Thanks again to my sister, Tiffany, Joe, Matthew, and Ingrid for letting me film you guys. LOL! click the image below to watch the outtakes.
