Lords of Gangland by Lee Cullen

I'm recommending a fic, which hasn't happened in awhile, so here is goes.

It's called Lords of Gangland by Lee Cullen and it's not usually what I would read.  I don't remember how I came across it but it's on Twilighted and here is the link:  http://twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=5550 

The summary that is on twilighted.net is:

 Edward Cullen is a hot, bad, gangsta fella who is a new kid in the Chicago underworld. But refusing to pay his respects to the big, ruling Godfather, his arrival is not welcomed. Bella is said Godfather’s estranged daughter who fled his father’s world in an attempt at a normal life.

Both men keep clashing and bumping heads, Edward’s power grows rapidly, men are tired of the old regime, and so a sort of gangster war ensues. Bella is caught in the mayhem when she becomes a prisoner in the hands of her father’s most hated enemy and rival. With Bella as a prisioner, Edward knows her father will have no choice but to do as he is told.
But does Edward have other motives to capture Bella?


It does have some very controversial topics and usually I wouldn't have continued reading but it's just so good.  I promise it get's really good.  It is also very angsty so get ready for that.


Hope you enjoy!

Fool Me Once

Okay, so I just watched the new Vampire Diaries and I'm going insane!  It was incredibly good and I thought that Elena and Damon's new found togetherness is amazing.  I'll be posting a full little blurb about my thoughts after I watch it a second time.  I always like to watch it in the morning again so that I can absorb everything.

Bite On This

As I said yesterday, I'm listening to Bite On This, a Vampire Diaries podcast.  I got to episode 6 and was so frustrated/intrigued that I started taking notes to share with you.


Bite On This
Episode #6:  The Transitions
What I find most frustrating about this podcast is that I often disagree with the hosts.  About almost everything.  I think the show is hosted by Angela and Willy, if I get wrong let me know.
One of the main things that bothered me is that they said that the way Elena finds out about Stefan being a vampire was like Twilight.  I do understand that they are saying how she put everything together and discovered it herself is the same.  In Twilight when Bella finds out about Edward and his nightly habits, she's completely fine with it  Elena however, is not okay, and doesn't want anything to do with Stefan and the harm she thought he was inflicting on Mystic Falls.  Elena's reaction is much more realistic.

The one thing we do agree on in this episode is about Ian Somerhalder being amazing as Damon.  His delivery of the lines is hilarious and well worth watching, repeating and taking note of.


Episode #7:  Snatch, Eat, Erase
Okay, the problem I had with the hosts in this episode was that they said that Vickie and Matt haven't really been acting like siblings until this episode.  But I'm pretty sure that Matt acts protective over Vickie from the very first episode.  It was just the major thing that bothered me.  


None of my other comments on these episodes are worth mentioning.  I'm about to start listening to episode #9 and we'll see what I think about that.


I know that most people will be frustrated with my negative view but it's the only Vampire Diaries podcast that I've seen, if you have any that are worth listening to send me the link.  I do enjoy some of their opinions so I'll keep listening until something better comes along.  Or at least until I get caught up on the episodes.  


I have a bunch of podcasts that I'm behind on so once I get some free time I'll post my thoughts.


CW has released another clip but it isn't on youtube yet and my computer won't let me watch it on the CW website so I have to wait.  Which sucks but all of you should go check it out.

A Nice Sunny Day in Seattle

It was a beautiful sunny day in Seattle and I even wore a skirt (which I never do)... Well I wore it for the first half of the day, I abandoned it after my first round of class.  When I got home though, I changed into my sweats so I could lay around and do my lovely homework.

I haven't heard any other news so nothing to report... Except I recently started reading The Vampire Diaries and I have to say I am actually liking the show better.

So I've been looking for a good Vampire Diaries podcast and the only one on Itunes is Bite On This.  I'm listening to all of the back episodes right now, and it's okay.  I'm not very fond of it but I hope I warm up to it because there are no other ones at the moment.

It's true, Vampire Diaries is going on a hiatus after next weeks episode.  The break will be six weeks long and a new episode will be released on March 25. The reason it is going on break is because of the Olympics and then they are staying on break until March 25 so that the season finale will be on the may sweeps week.  It's a good plan for ratings and to insure it will be picked up for the next season but I'm still trying to figure out how I'll stay alive without new episodes.  :(

I hope everyone else is experiencing lovely weather, wherever they are.

Vampire Diaries Episode 13: Children of the Damned

So, like I said, I am now obsessed with Vampire Diaries.  It's pretty addciting.  So this past thursday a new episode was on and it was amazing.... I won't talk to much about it, but it was really good and kind of shocking.

Vampire Diaries is going on a break after next week's episode for six weeks, which is rather unfortunate.  I hate when tv shows go on break.  It just drives me insane.

Other than that, I've been pretty sick lately so I've been hiding out in my room trying to get better. :D

Tonight

Okay, so tonight the episode Children of the Damned is on at eight (my time)! I'm super excited and will prolly be posting my thoughts either tonight or tomorrow!
