Happy Birthday Alex O’Loughlin! Posted: 24 Aug 2011 07:33 AM PDT Last week in my house there was a Moonlight marathon. I must have remembered that it was Alex O’Loughlin‘s birthday today. Every year without fail I’ve written about Alex and said that every time he impresses me with how humble he is. So today on this day we celebrate Alex. Dear Alex. Congratulations on all of your successes and I can’t wait to see the next season of Hawaii Five-O, I’m glad finally we can all see you on TV again. (How corny did that sound?) Happy Birthday! xoxo Taylor [photo]

Stephen King Releasing His Next Book In E-book Format Only Posted: 23 Aug 2011 08:05 PM PDT Stephen King  is coming out with a new masterpiece, Mile 81, coming out September 1st. What is different with this one? It’s only available in E-book format. This is going to be interesting to see how he well his book sells. I know that I won’t be able to get it because I don’t have anything to read it on. Here is the story line for this book: At Mile 81 on the Maine Turnpike is a boarded up rest stop, a place where high school kids drink and get into the kind of trouble high school kids have always gotten into. It's the place where Pete Simmons goes when his older brother, who's supposed to be looking out for him, heads off to the gravel pit to play "paratroopers over the side." Pete, armed only with the magnifying glass he got for his tenth birthday, finds a discarded bottle of vodka in the boarded up burger shack and drinks enough to pass out. Not much later, a mud-covered station wagon (which is strange because there hadn't been any rain in New England for over a week) veers into the Mile 81 rest area, ignoring the sign that says "closed, no services." The driver's door opens but nobody gets out. Doug Clayton, an insurance man from Bangor, is driving his Prius to a conference in Portland. On the backseat are his briefcase and suitcase and in the passenger bucket is a King James Bible, what Doug calls "the ultimate insurance manual," but it isn't going to save Doug when he decides to be the Good Samaritan and help the guy in the broken down wagon. He pulls up behind it, puts on his four-ways, and then notices that the wagon has no plates. Ten minutes later, Julianne Vernon, pulling a horse trailer, spots the Prius and the wagon, and pulls over. Julianne finds Doug Clayton's cracked cell phone near the wagon door – and gets too close herself. By the time Pete Simmons wakes up from his vodka nap, there are a half a dozen cars at the Mile 81 rest stop. Two kids – Rachel and Blake Lussier –and one horse named Deedee are the only living left. Unless you maybe count the wagon. We all wonder how a road sign can become scary. Only Stephen can do things like that. And even more exciting…11/22/63 is coming out in the Fall too. I want to get my hands on that book right away. How did Stephen deal with the assassination. I’m excited.
