I am still drowsy today after chaperoning Coral and India and their friends at the Eclipse release party last night. They didn't really need supervision, just transportation. I am not ready to let them have the car in the middle of the night.
Speaking of the middle of the night...
That's four midnight release parties/movies this summer- Kevin fielded the Harry Potter movie and book and I took Pirates- At World's End & Eclipse. Perhaps we could lean on the publishers to start releasing their stuff at 7pm?
Anyway, a good time was had by all. The girls dressed up as if they were attending a Prom-it's part of the story- and managed to drag a few guys along, too. Coral and Chandler won the fashion show impersonating Bella & Edward. They were the favorite among the Barnes & Noble staff, but their victory was largely due to friends stuffing the ballot box. The prize was a free copy of the book and first place in line to get it at 12:01am.
India and Marissa(visiting from CA) have been in bed reading all day. Poor Coral had to work and is spending her breaks trying to finish Grapes of Wrath for school before she reads Eclipse or the new Harry Potter.

I had never heard of this book. Looking it up on Amazon, I found that the author took her inspiration from a "vivid dream". Her inspiration was clearly not "Buffy" or "Underworld" (a 2003 film about Vampire vs. Werewolf subculture with Kate Beckinsdale), nor the likely commercial success due another contribution to the current vampire fad.
Snideness aside, just prior to the start of classes, I had a dream that I bit one of my cadets on the neck. In anger, that is -- not from thirst. I was really relieved upon waking and realizing it hadn't really happened. Maybe I should write a book about it, though.
Coral and India, you two look f-a-a-a-a-bulous! India, you were a little girl when I last saw you! Take advantage of your reading time now; because, you'll soon find yourself in the workforce, too! (You'll need money to buy more books!)
