i am an avid reader.

i wish i could say i was a reader of the classics, that i enjoyed pursuing literature of intellectual repute, but obviously, i am neither.

as many of my closest friends already know, i crave my HEA's (happily ever after's to the uninitiated). i scorn the movies that force me to think. i run from media that push my boundaries because frankly, being a minority and soon to be medical professional, i see some crappy shit in real life. (although, let's be honest, other people deal with infinitely more crappier shit.) plus i love me some vampires.

anyway, the following is a list of my favorite 4+ book series of the paranormal romance/urban fantasy inclination. and if you happened to click on the links and didn't avert your eyes on time, please, don't judge the books by their scantily clad covers:

Fever series - by Karen Marie Moning
- Great character development over the series, epic save the world post apocalypse style.

Kate Daniels series - by Ilona Andrews
- Awesome magic+tech alternative universe world building with a believable alpha+alpha romance.

Guardian series - by Meljean Brook
- Action packed series loosely based on Christian theology with huge artistic license. my favorite vampire romance (Demon Moon) is also included in the series ;)

Psy/Changeling series - by Nalini Singh
- My first introduction to PNR. Great romances with a multiethnic cast. H/H (heroine/hero) diversity always deserves a gold star.

Immortals after Dark series - by Kresley Cole
- Incredibly layered storylines that weave together seamlessly book after book.

i think i really failed that OSCE. like, seriously failed.

maybe it was the last minute studying, the lack of sleep, the general "this is my last 3rd year clerkship ever (hopefully)" mentality. but for whatever reason, i really sucked at the OSCE.

i do not want to repeat Ob-Gyn.

Noah Ringer's Tattoo in The Last Airbender
I can't even enjoy The Simpsons anymore.

Fox is playing The Last Airbender previews after Simpsons, TMZ, Simpsons and The Office. I get so angry when I see those damn previews. Weird thing is, the narrator has some funky accent, like almost East Asian, but not quite. Could it be they're yellow-facing the voice overs too?? bah.
