Twilight mania

I totally picked the right time to go (1:00 p.m. on Sat.) because the theater was full of people like me (30+ with and without kids) rather than squealing teens. I realize this kind of made me miss out on part of the whole experience because I didn’t get to hear them sigh and see their faces as their little hearts fluttered at Rob’s hotness.

First off, let me say that I really loved the movie. It was very well made and very well acted by all and the scenery was gorgeous. I also took it in for what it was, which many people seem to be having a hard time doing. If you’re planning on going to see it, please keep in mind what exactly it is that you are going to see. It’s a teen love story with vampires. It’s not non-stop action or blood or sex. If you read the books, you know this. If you didn’t, well, just know that it isn’t your typical “vampire” tale and it has some cheesy dialogue. It’s supposed to. It was in the book. If you don’t like that kind of thing and/or didn’t like the book, then go watch something else instead.

That said, on to my review which contains spoilers. Yes! There are spoilers ahead, so if you don’t want to know, then don’t click and read more…

I just thought I’d toss in a random post in the midst of all of my Chuck-spams, which have been super fun to post. Speaking of Chuck, I really missed him on Gossip Girl last night. I prefer Chuck-filled episodes to Chuck-less episodes. Blair looked really pretty last night though and I typically can’t stand her unless she’s in a scene with Chuck in some capacity.

Who else squealed with delight at the new Twilight teaser trailer? Rob looks and sounds amazing. And he and Kristen look awesome together. I’m so excited about the movie!!!

I picked up The Vampire Diaries (Vol. 1 – The Awakening and The Struggle; Vol. 2 – The Fury and Dark Reunion) over the weekend and started reading the first story last night and so far I am enjoying it. Once I finish these books, I’ll shift my focus back to City of Ashes.

Since I’ve been depressed for a while and reading practically non-stop, I’ve found that I haven’t really felt like working on my sites much, which I don’t consider to be a bad thing. I’ve put both Charlie and Rebecca on hold for the time being, and I’m thinking of closing my ITC screencap/scan gallery and just having zip files available of caps instead. Not that many people visit the gallery anyway and after the last round of upgrades due to hackers (OMG how they suck arse), the less coppermines to upgrade, the better.

I’ve moved all of my icons here and have added a few new ones (Asia x1, Heather x1, Mia x 5, Samaire x1 and Broken English x2) if anyone is interested. I will also have some Chuck ones available soon.

I think that’s all the randomness I have for now. More Chuck-spams to be added tonight. :D
