Is it a strip cut shredder or cross cut shredder? Paper shredders are a good way to properly dispose of papers. That way, they’ll be able to recycle it easier.

Blake's vampires don't seem cold to kiss though, only useless in bed until fed. I think the twilight-ones were coldest...<br />I have always been a trifle annoyed about all the writers not being able to agree on what a vampire really can and cannot do. But I guess they just aren't like ships... Seriously I do enjoy the genre as well, but I have some difficulties with the classic fantasy-way-out-thing. You know put the protagonist in a completely impossible situation, then save it by giving her a new magical power she didn't know she had...that's cheating isn't it?<br /><br />Then again I find the Sookie/Blake/Gentry-theme very intriguing, you know, creating an alternative world which is just like ours, but vampires, werewolved and fey do exist and live amongst us like any other "immigrant". That's kind of nice as a political statement, actually...We can all live together, like, see?<br /><br />Nuff said, sorry about the comment drift, Melanie!jenkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500230663923866842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665945635718948308.post-12373748293536131852009-12-11T19:54:11.048-08:002009-12-11T19:54:11.048-08:00Karen
