Dean Koontz's Frankenstein
As some of you already know, I love Dean Koontz. There is just something with his books. The way he write, the way he can mix humour, thriller, romance, action and pretty much everything else and make it work. Today I want to raise the flag for his take of Frankenstein.
In these books we get to meet with Frankenstein's monster (you do know that the monster isn't called Frankenstein, right?) although he now calls himself Deucalion. This story is set in present time New Orleans where Deucalion teams up with detectives Carson O'Connor and Michael Maddison to battle the forces of his old maker, Victor Frankenstein, who now calls himself Victor Helios.
I will not go in more to the books, I hope that people will find out themselves this wonderful author and the amazing things he can create.

Movies I love even though people think they are crap!
.................1....................................2.....................................3....................................4................
- So I am a Shyamalan fan. And I loved The Happening! I can't really understand why these movie became so hated. It has some seriously cool and brutal scenes it is creepy, and it got Zoey Deschanel! What ever can be wrong with that? I really did like this movie, I also liked Lady in the Water even though everyone else seem to hate this movie. I am very much looking forward to The Last Airbender!
- Tremors came in 1990, but it still have the feel of the 80's B-movies. And I love it! The "graboids" of course looks silly with todays CGI effects but this movie still rock! I have not watched the sequels, no idea if they are any fun. But first one was superfun and (at least I thought so when I was like 15) kinda creepy.
- Starship Troopers! Well, ok, alot of the people I know love this movie aswell but then... alot of the people I know are strange. I do love this movie. I watch it at least once a year. Its brilliant, funny, over the top and has alot of disgusting goo. And above everything, it has Neil Patrick Harris! Wonderful, funny, cute and sadly gay NPH!
- Well, I am a huge Twilight fan. And I have been very much teased for it. And to the teasers I say, gtfo! The book is better than the movie, but I do love the movie aswell. Robert Pattinson is just wonderful, and the first time he speaks still melts my heart. I know it is silly, but sillyness is very underrated!
I couldn't come up with a 5th movie. At least not one I am prepared to tell the world that I like!

Hacked WoW - but no swine flu!
So the last few days have been busy. Sunday. 4 hour long workmeeting followed by dinner. Alot of stuff got said, some things didn't get said but overall I hope for improvement but I guess only time will tell. Since we will get a new boss in two months it will be interesting what happens after that.
Monday evening when I got home I realised my WoW account gotten hacked. I guess I should be happy it havent happened earlier but loosing 16k gold + loads of mats + gear is a bit of a yawn. Right now account is suspended while they are investigating. Its a fun thing though, I aren't even half as upset as I thougt I would be. The thing that annoyed me the most was that the bloody hacker messed up my UI a bit and it took me ages to remember where I used to have my spells. Ah well, I think it will work itself out, I just want my account back!
Today me and Thomas went to get our vaccinations against the swine flu. We are both in what is considered "risk groups" so we thought we should be smart and get it.
It amazes me how stupid some people are about this, here in Sweden a big part of the youth thinks that one of the side effects of the vaccine is that your fingers grow longer. Also, alot of Swedes seem scared that the vaccine contains alot of mercury. Oh yes, its loads and loads... one dose contains about as much mercury as half a portion of fish. Oh noes, how ever will we survive that?
People, honestly! Read up before you go cry cry about it. I am happy I got the vaccination, even tho my arm hurts a bit if I move it certain ways. But hey, there is a solution to that aswell... I try to not move it the ways that hurt! Oh my, I am smart! S-M-R-T!
Will get the injection in 3-4 weeks. I think it is for the best, I get whiny as hell from an ordinary flu. I don't even wanna know what I would be like with the swine flu.

Emergency room visit
So I did survive seven days in a row with work. It was rather nice actually, tireing of course but still. Last evening did not go like we had planned however. We had not planned for a taxi ride to the emergency room but that was what happened.
Thomas had the worst asthma attack I have ever seen him have, it was terrible. He could barely speak, just gasping for breath. Luckily things went very fast once we got into the ER. Within five minutes he was in a room and they started listening to his breating and heart and taking the first tests. Soon they gave him some really strong medicines to inhale and he could finally breathe again. I was in tears, I think that is quite natural for a wife when she sees her husband like that, but he of course thought I was a silly girl. He is often very wrong tho so I do not care!
Once we got out from the ER the last busses had stopped going, luckily mom lives close to the hospital so called her (and woke her up) and she made us tea and then fixed beds for us. I do love my mom. She is always there when you need her!
Feels wonderful that Thomas have medicine now, and doctors appointment on tuesday.
Today (well, yesterday now considering it is past midnight) is dads birthday. He turned 65. So we went over to his place. Not a big deal you might think? Dad and me havent spoken for around 1.5 years so it was very special for us. Dad has a way of ignoring things tho, "if we don't speak about it, it never happened" so we never mentioned how long it has been since we spoke.
Today/yesterday was also mine and Thomas 4th engagement anniversary. We got engaged on Halloween. Of course. Felt a bit strange spending all the day with dad, but we got alot of hugging and snuggling done aswell. And soon it is 5 years since we first met (yeah yeah, I know. We got engaged pretty fast...). Time moves on quick.
