Damn you, Twilight! WtF?

I know that the Long Beach Public Library System is small. I get that. But how is it that every last blessed copy of Twilight is either checked out, on hold or in transit. Every single copy?! I'm really not interested in buying the book because the reviews have been so odd, addictive but really bad. I will admit to a desire to see the movie based solely on the fact that it stars Cedric Diggory and because I love Kristen Stewart's shoulders. I also think she's a very promising young actress. I thought that reading the books would be neat. But now I have to go buy?! What the fuck world? What the fuck? At the height of the Potterocalypse or whatever we called it (Pottermania) I could still find a copy of the books. Especially the first book!

Really!

Seriously!!

Whatever!

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

What happens when you get everything you ever thought you always wanted? If it's in the Whedonverse then it comes with a price. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was surprising, to say the least.
