Geh

So instead of editing my thesis or doing anything worthwhile, I revamped my LJ. Geh. Editing HTML takes sooooo long!!!!

But now I have a pretty ee cummings LJ! Hee. Go see: here.

Otherwise, the day was quite nice... got new books from the library (am finally going the read LJ Smith's Vampire Diaries because I've only read the fourth one), had a picnic on the lawn... very nice. Now I am tired and will go to bed.

I have no idea why I just read that one... I guess it must have been the only one in the bookstore at the time. And then I read the end, and I knew Damon wasn't going to get the girl or anything really =(. And I think the whole happy ending shook me a bit. I hate it when that happens, like the iced tea in the NW book on Thea and Poppy actually being a witch all along. But I think the angstiness of the other three will help!

I thinkt hat the final volume stayed in print for longer than the others, since it came out a couple years later.

Happy endings really aren't all that great. I agree, I think it would've been much more interesting if Thea had lost all her memories. And the witch thing with Poppy tied up some loose ends, but that whole scene of them suddenly deciding to not live off humans was sappy and...ugh. That's kind of how I feel about all the NW books--they would've been good if they were more dark. As it is, the world's supposed to be ending and you can hardly even tell.

The VD3 ending is much more satisfying (to me) than the VD4 one. But, of course, I'm biased and like my ending (http://www.panavatar.net/redux/) the ebst to begin with.

Well, that's what fanfic is for! I'll have to read and see...
