Meet Anita. She is a Vampire Hunter. Sounds lame but believe me when I tell you staying up all night with wet panties is annnnnything but. Anita is the badass sex kitten from Laurell K. Hamilton's series of 15+ books. If you have read some or none at all, here is your reminder to pick up those books, find a comfy nook and read till you're too hot and bothered to turn another page (and then read more).
This series has been so popular that it has become its own graphic novel, as seen on the left. Anita, the head biotch and lucky slut, gets to control and fuck all the hot ass men she wants and, thankkkkkkfully, watch these men fuck each other (I'm not embellishing). So, I'd just like to take this moment of infinite internet time to thank, and worship, her lord LK for her genius and sexy mind. Thank you just doesn't even begin to cover it. Vampire lover or not, start with Guilty Pleasures and enjoy every last juicy drop of sexy goodness. Oh, and visit her site http://www.laurellkhamilton.org/works/

I've got this friend.  Let's call him... Nick.  Because that's his name.  Duh.
Anyways, Nick likes cats.  He has a cat.  He's nice to it.  He likes it.  He likes cats.  Established fact.
So the other days, he asks, "Do you have any pictures of cats reading on your website?"  When I told him I didn't, he was greatly disappointed.  Now I must rectify that.

Such a thing of awesome beauty exists because of the Meow Reader.
You want to see cats reading?  Go there.  You want to see Kat reading?  Come back here.  You want to see a cat that will scare the shit out of you before making you dial Chris Hansen?  DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

Hello, To Catch a Predator?  Have I got a scoop for you...

Want. Framed in my house. Using books to fight bears and ward off vampires, who knew books could be even MORE amazing than I thought. Fantastic.

Moustache.

Started this book today. Reading about hardcore bondage and slave play on the bus and train = WIN.
Thank you Anne Rice for referencing this book in Exit to Eden. Muah xo

You know what today was?  It was this:

Now, as much as I'd love to bore you with the specifics of my terrible shitty day, I'm not a hobo leading up to the inevitable request for spare change (or in one instance, "a small five") so suffice to say, I cried like a bitch and my husband said I could get some books so I would feel better.  Yeah, acquiring material possessions to stem the flow of tears!  And I'm pretty sure we're not unique in this tableaux.  I think that is also how some girls acquire fancy purses and breast implants.
Anyways, onto Amazon.ca I went, and made my purchases.

Honestly, I do feel better now.  I've got something in the mail to look forward to, and I'm pretty sure Jon Stewart is on the cover of my hot orgy romance novel. 

So this evening I was scrolling through my countless revolving door of sites, and made my way to http://nrrrdcakkke.tumblr.com/  Now, I have to tell you, this chick is rad.  She likes body mods.  She likes animals.  She likes books.  Did I mention she's a fox?  Well, on top of all that, this evening she was elevated to Tumblr Sweet Baby Jesus because she introduced me to this:

Do you know what this is?  This is motherfuckin' HAPPY NAKED READING SUNDAY.  Oh happy day, indeed.  And with a little more research, I found http://nudereadingissexy.tumblr.com/ 
I shit you not, I'm... speechless.  That such a thing exists, I can now die happy.  Obviously not for many years, finally going peacefully in my sleep, as opposed to screaming in terror like my passengers will be (totally stole that, by the way) but I'll die happy nonetheless.
Also, I will be doing this from now on.  I mean sure, no one wants to see naked people with books, so clearly I'll be doing this for my own amusement, but fuck it.  I'll do it anyways.
Starting NEXT Sunday.  Because THIS CURRENT Sunday, I'm covered in this gnarly sea-road rash from tubing on the lake all day.  Totally worth it, though.

This is one of the best videos ever AND it happens to be filmed in a library. Watch and enjoy!

Over the last week, I've been conversing with some rather interesting and important people.  One in particular, who has been ridiculously awesome.
You see, Margaret Atwood has a new book coming out soon, and in a section of the ebook, she discusses the impact of The Handmaid's Tale.
She would like to use MY photo of MY tattoo for that section. 
Becoming part of literary history?
Yes please!
I'll keep you updated on what's going on, but I assume you, RADNESS is flying at me at the speed of light.

Not too long ago, a friend of mine sent me a little somethin' somethin' in the mail.  Not just any somethin' somethin' either.  He sent me a present (squee!) that just so happened to be autographed (double squee!)  And did I mention that this friend of mine is Patrick Shand? Super uber talented and famous writer?  Of ultimate awesomeness?  Not only does he deign to correspond with us lowly denizens of the mortal world, but he sent me a PRESENT.  This makes him a numero uno awesome guy, in my books.
Now, just before we get to the present itself, I should explain that, not only am I a comic book nerd, I'm also a Buffy and Angel (and Spike too!) nerd, and on top of that, a collector nerd.  Yes, I am all kinds of nerd, as you can see.  Anyways, Pat sent me a boat load of radness that combined all three of these predilections.  What on Earth could he have possibly sent me, you ask?
Mr Shand sent me this:

The Angel: Yearbook! SCORE!
And look, there he is, big as life and twice as bold! I know someone famous, suckas!

Best of all, there's a bitchin' note on the inside back cover, but that's for moi to read and toi to only fantasize about.
Swoon.
It's chock full of different kinds of stories; no matter what kind of fan you are, you'll find something right up your alley. The writing is superb, as is the art. I'd love to tell you more, but I'd give too much away, so I suggest you go out and buy a copy for yourself!
Once you've done that, check out my buddy Patrick Shand - not only is he great at what he does, he's also cool as hell.

I grew up in the 80s. I remember rotary telephones and film cameras. I also remember a dark scary time when there was no Internet.... shocking yes, but don't be afraid. The Internet is all around us now like dirty pedos at swimming pools and although you can just as easily be molested (accidentally *wink*) by the sick ass shit on the Web, the bazillions of gems that await us more than compensate for the inappropriate ocular assaults. Aside from Porn, which is the main reason we are driven into the arms of our Internet lover, there are also more hilarious pictures and videos than one person can see in a lifetime. I love the Internet for all of those reasons. Here are some of my recent favorites...

Ps. I capitalize at will all things I deem important (like Porn). I also overuse exclamation points. If you've ever heard me tell a story you'd understand why. I also embellish. I'm aware of my faults, that has to count for something, right?

!!!!!!!!
