On the plus side

[yendi]

1. I scored another freebie from First Look Books: Francesca Lia Block's Necklace of Kisses, a new Weetzie Bat book.

2. Work got better, for the most part. And there was free Savage Pizza leftover from a meeting. mmm, tomato basil pizza.

THERE'S A NEW WEETZIE BAT BOOK??? AND YOU GOT IT BEFORE I DID??? AND I HAVE TO WAIT TILL AUGUST????????

*implodes*

But this doesn't come with a seed packet...

But if it did come with a seed packet, you would shake the seeds provocatively (*shaky shaky*) and say things like 'Ha! robyn_ma loses at life; we rule with a mighty hand' while I shrieked into the linoleum.

Doesn't matter anyway. I've since found out our children's librarian has had an ARC of the book since January, and says she'll bring it in for me to read. Thus begins The Great yendi/robyn_ma Francesca-Reading Race of 2005. *nods*

[yendi]

Hey! No fair! I don't have a children's librarian at my disposal!

[robyn-ma.livejournal.com]

Actually, I want to re-read the previous Dangerous Angels books first, because it's been years since I read them. So, the race is called off. :)

It shall actually be a 'song/Robyn contest - he may review it, but I get to read it first, as I am the Weetzie Bat fan in the house! That, and I read faster, so I get to read everything first. Except for things that are actually presents given specifically to him. *nod*

D'you have it yet? We do not have it yet. And lo, I pout. *pout*

'D'you have it yet?'

Um...yes.

SCENE: shadesong is on a mountaintop, her fists flung at the lightning-cracked sky as the camera pulls back dramatically.

shadesong: WHY?? WHY?? THAT BITCH HAS THE NEW WEETZIE BAT BOOK BEFORE I DO!!!! AND IT'S JUST SITTING THERE WAITING TO BE READ BECAUSE SHE HAS TO RE-READ THE OTHER FIVE BOOKS AND IT COULD BE MINE RIGHT NOW!!!

The camera runs out of dolly tracks and stops pulling back, but 'song keeps ranting anyway

shadesong: YEA, VERILY DOTH MY SOUL SHRIEK FOR VENGEANCE! I SHALL HAVE BLOODY SATISFACTION, AND I SHALL HAVE THAT BOOK ON THIS VERY DAY, OR MY NAME IS NOT...shadesong!!! *dramatic thunderclap*

yendi walks into frame

yendi: Honey, the scene's over. Everyone's at the food table.

shadesong: AND THIS ALSO I SWEAR UNTO ANY DEITY THAT WILL LISTEN...

Image begins to fade to black

shadesong: DON'T YOU DARE FADE TO BLACK!! I'M NOT done

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I *heart* you. You realize this, yes?

[kizlj.livejournal.com]

RAR! I am waiting eagerly for that. I hope it's good.

[yendi]

Me too! I'll post as soon as I've read it!

[dandelion-diva.livejournal.com]

There's a new Weetzie Bat book?! *dies of joy*

*wait*

*wait*

Now? No?

*Wait*

*twiddle*
*pout*
WAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

Gessi, who doesn't wait very well

[yendi]

:-) Patience isn't exactly something I possess, either.

I *love* FirstLook books. It is great! I won one book last month and put in for Necklace of Kisses, but didn't get it. Happy Reading!
