Talk to me!

Talk to me, please! I'm going mad with boredom here - I can only do so much "researching potential targets" before I get distracted and end up looking at second-hand cars instead of Toyota's corporate website.

Amazon has decided (on the basis of buying WK) that I have appallingly bad taste. The synopsis of its top recommendation reads as follows:

Until the Full Moon
Vol 1
Marlo has a problem. On the night of the full moon, this half-werewolf, half-vampire undergoes a mysterious and terrifying transformation: He turns into a girl. Desperate for a cure, his parents call on Doctor Vincent, a long time family friend. But Marlo wants to keep his condition secret from Vincent's son, the vampire playboy David. Unfortunately, the secret gets out, and a new problem surfaces: David is interested in Marlo's female form! If a remedy can't be found, their parents believe the next best solution is marriage - a marriage between Marlo and David!

Vol 2
Who would have thought that there was anything worse than changing into a woman on nights of the full moon? Marlo certainly didn't. But now his engagement to David Vincent, the handsome skirt-chasing vampire, has been jeopardized by threats from the past. When one of David's former flames sends for him, begging for help, she neglects to include all the details. then a glass of "special" wine causes some childish complications. And to make matters worse, it seems that David's father has a few secrets of his own that may very well tear David and Marlo apart. Can Marlo and David overcome these pitfalls, or is their love doomed to fail?

Gosh.

Amazon currently suggests that because I've been looking at Cliff CD's and Knitting books I might like an album by The Killers. Amazon once emailed me an suggested I buy a DVD of You've Got Mail for my beloved. Oh thank goodness I asked Mr Weasel if it was what he wanted before I bought it as I might have been made to eat it!

I'm bored too, I'm copy & pasting hotel prices out of a spreadsheet into a database and I've got another three or so weeks of it left to do.

I think Cliff CDs might be almost as bad as were-girls and vampires called "David".

I agree its not a very 'vampirey' name. Nor is Kevin.

Those books sound atrocious.

So atrocious, I'm (almost) tempted to see what the first one's like. Except I'm aware I'd *never* be able to sell it on again.

Order it in from your local library.

Oooh! And I ordered this instead of bad manga! I shall bring it next weekend, if it's arrived by then :)

Ooh! Yay to the knitting book!

I love vampire chick lit. But I'd never tell anyone that!

It's a good thing you didn't write it down in an open LJ post, then!

Yup, that would be a really embarassing thing to have done.
