When You're Sure You've Had Enough...

The Biggest Loser...

Vs.

All for naught! Ktar 620am is having a promo that for the next three weeks on Tues, Wed, and Thurs at 7am and 4pm they will announce a time in that hour what time they will announce an All-Star member during that hour. That person has 10 minutes to call and claim their prize. The winner gets to choose whatever NFL game that weekend they want to attend. They get 2 tickets to the game, airfare for 2, and Hotel accomodations. Cool Huh? Needless to say, this morning in the 7am hour they announced a name. Yes, it was mine. I however was sleeping. Apparently sleep is worth more than a trip to Denver to see my Broncos trounce the Saints. Hmmm... I don't think so. What the hell was I thinking? Why did I not pay more attention? Lesson learned. So, at my expense, everyone out there that thinks they won't ever call YOUR name, let it be known that they just might! My ONLY comforting factor in this is that I get to go to the ASU/Georgia game on Saturday. Not AS good, but still good! Go Devils!!! So, I AM today's Biggest Loser!!!!!!! Just be gentle with your comments because the wound is still fresh!

Midnight Woes

(This is not the ACTUAL cover of the book - just something a fan came up with, but I wanted to post a picture).

So, it's been just over a week that I heard the sad news about Midnight Sun.  Have you heard yet?

For those of you who don't know - Midnight Sun is the last of the Twilight series books that Stephenie Meyer has been working on.  It is actually the book Twilight, written entirely from Edward's perspective instead of Bella's.  Stephenie has had the first chapter of the book posted on her website for some time now.  It is awesome.

After finishing Breaking Dawn, I felt a kind of let down - not because I didn't like the book. I DID!  It was a let down because the series was over, and I had nothing else to look forward to.  Then I remembered Midnight Sun.  She had said that she was working on it to be released sometime next year.  It got me excited again.  

Sadly, a partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the internet and has been distributed without her knowledge or permission.    She feels that her rights as an author and human being have been violated, and that it has been a very upsetting experience for her.  She is so upset, that she has put the project on hold INDEFINITELY.  What?  No Midnight Sun?  NOOOOOO!  I was SO looking forward to it.  I am now distraught.

She said on her website that she didn't want her fans reading the version that's out there.  She said "it was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes."  However, she knows that there will be a lot of interest in seeing it, so she has posted a link on her website if you are interested in reading the incomplete draft.  Her website is www.stepheniemeyer.com.  It is under her August 28th 2008 (part 1) entry at the bottom of the page.

I haven't decided if I'm going to read it or not.  Who am I kidding?  I probably will.  I'll take all I can get.  

Do you think you'll read it?

On a side note - Stephenie is directing the video to the first single from Jack's Mannequin's upcoming album.  The song is "The Resolution."  I'm not a huge fan of Jack's Mannequin, but I'm sure I will be checking out this video.
