Can I take a few minutes to complain about some things?  Because I feel like I need to get a few things off my chest.

I love series, I really do, but I may have to take a break from them for a while.  I feel like they’re really starting to take over.  Plus, I feel like I’m always saying that I hope things are going to be explained in the next book.

My current source of irritation with series is Shade.  In the 100 or so pages I read before giving up, nothing was explained.  I felt like I was reading the 2nd book in the series, and had to check what number it was.  Even after discovering that it was indeed the 1st book, I felt like I was reading the wrong book in the series.  Like…some explanation about things would be nice.

I also need to complain about blogger cookbooks.  I don’t mind if bloggers publish cookbooks.  But if they’re going to do so, can they at least come up with recipes that aren’t on their blog?  I have no incentive to buy their cookbook if I can get the same recipe at their blog for free.

Oh, and this is really random, but can people stop wearing headbands if their hair is in a bun or a ponytail?  I don’t get it…your hair is completely pulled back, so why do you need a headband.  Which one is it, headband or ponytail?  It just looks weird to me.

If anything goes wrong today, I’m blaming it on the fact that today is Friday the 13th.  I’m not terrily superstititious or anything, but at least I have an excuse for anything weird that happens today!  So be careful or have fun today, I guess?

Either way, happy Friday the 13th!
