Blog of the Week: Clever Girl Goes Blog!

I'm back from my adventure up north.

(In order to keep up the pretense that my life is always awesome, I won't tell you that I actually just spent two days sitting in an uncomfortable chair at a long table, debating mundane topics and chatting with old people like they we are long-lost friends.)

It was such a fabulous weekend!

(It really wasn't that bad. It just wasn't the exciting weekend that y'all thought I was having.)

Anyways, just a couple of things before we get on with the Blog of the Week.

First, you have until TONIGHT at MIDNIGHT to enter my 'Up' DVD giveaway. So make sure you enter!

And I have until TOMORROW to raise $955 dollars for my Habitat for Humanity trip. If you know of anyone that might be willing to contribute just a couple of dollars, would you please send them my way? Thanks!

Now then. New Moon comes out this Friday. I know, I know. I haven't exactly tried to hide my true feelings for the vampire saga. But I am planning to see this one and so, I have declared this week Twilight Week. And in honor of Twilight Week, Karen's Blog of the Week is the most vampire-lovin' blog I know: Clever Girl Goes Blog.



I found Tia's blog about a year or so ago when it was named Blogger's Blog of Note. I was sucked in immediately by her humor and style and major writing talent. She is seriously awesome.

And Tia is completely vampire-obsessed. She even started a weekly feature called Fanged Fridays to give a home to her Edward-Angel-Spike-Dracula-Stephan-centric posts. I really don't share the vampire love, but I always look forward to Fanged Fridays.

(And not JUST because there are pictures of pretty boys.)

Anyways, so go visit Clever Girl Goes Blog. You're gonna love it!

I'm already a reader of Tia, and I love her. Very appropriate choice for Twilight Week!

Katherine said...

Clever Girl Goes Blog has been one of my favorite blogs for a long time. Good choice.

And really? You plan on seeing New Moon? I didn't anticipate that.

I am embarrassed to admit that I got sucked (ha!) into the Twilight vampire drama. I will see it, but sans hubby. He doesn't get the whole Edward is hot thing.Hmmm. Men! Anyway, thanks for the heads up about Clever Girl Goes Blog. :)

Anyone who loves Spike, twilight, and vamps in general is ok my book. Is she a Spuffy fan or Bangel fan?

Can't wait to check her out! :)

Karen said...

Janet & Katherine: I think I found BOTH of you through Tia!

Annie: I don't get the whole "Edward is hot" thing either! LOL

Cair0: I believe she answered that very question in her most recent Fanged Friday post!

I am strangely attracted to vampires myself. The movies and tv shows always get me hooked. Even wack-o True Blood gets me. That vampire Eric is a hotty! Can't wait to check out this Fanged Friday thing - sounds like a fix until the new Twilight makes it to DVD.

Just finished reading the Twilight series myself, looking forward to the movies. And is it too cougar-like to comment on Edward's looks when I am fifteen years older than him? No? Um ... good.

Tia said...

Um, I totally got tix to see the midnight showing of New Moon. Though I thought the first movie was horrible, I'm holding out hope for the second. I loved the books. Perhaps my standards are too high...?
