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…

pineapples are yummy

I actually managed to find some fresh and sweet pineapple at Whole Foods today and it made me super happy. The only ones they had recently are hard and sour and just plain icky. Blech!

I ordered our Twilight tickets earlier today. I don’t think my poor son knows what he’s getting himself into by going to see this film with me. I mean, he wants to go and see it, but I don’t think he understands the magnitude of the fanbase that surrounds this film or the books. I hope for our sakes that the young girls don’t squeal with glee through the whole thing.

We’re also going to see Quantum of Solace this weekend, so yay! Aidan was sick last weekend and was really bummed that we couldn’t check it out.

My favorite knee-high boots are going to have to go bye-bye. *sniff* I somehow managed to rip a hole in the side of one of them, get a deep gash/scuff in the toe of the same one and the seam on the back of the other one is ripping apart. I would have them repaired if possible, but it would cost me more to have them repaired than to just buy a new pair. I wore them a heck of a lot because they go with practically every skirt I own and they’ve had a good long 4 year winter run anyway, so I guess it’s time that I bid them adieu.

I finished Peeps over the weekend and have The Last Days ready to read once I finish Shadow Kiss. It came out last week and I couldn’t not get it since I just finished the other Vampire Academy books recently and LOVED them. I’m about 1/2 way through it and am enjoying it just as much as I did the others. Love the characters! I must admit that I’m kind of ‘shipping Rose and Adrian, but I’m guessing that’s not going to happen. I do think it would make for much fun if they were to have some kind of little fling though. ;)

That’s all the randomness I have for now.

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

dude, you gotta give her the sweetness

James Roday is awesomeness personified. His portrayal of Shawn Spencer is the greatest ever.

I’m completely obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer and the upcoming film as well.

I just finished reading The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and really enjoyed it for the most part. I only have 1 major complaint with the book and that was the outcome of a particular relationship near the end. I just feel cheated out of what it should have been, but I will get over it soon enough. I started the 2nd book, The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes, last night and am enjoying it thus far. Here’s to hoping the author doesn’t throw more curve balls at me! ;)

I’ve been bitten by the Gossip Girl bug. It’s not what I’d call a “good” show that everyone and their mother must watch, but it’s incredibly entertaining in a turn your brain off for 45 minutes kind of way. The entire cast is really, really pretty too and that never hurts. Love me some Penn Badgley! He’s just so adorable and I have seen him in other stuff, so it’s not just this show that makes me think he’s adorable. I also have an odd fascination with Chuck or rather Ed Westwick’s portrayal of Chuck. He’s such a creepy slimeball character, but Ed manages to give him a little soul and make him kind of hot at the same time. Ed has the best smarmy facial expressions and his American accent is dead sexy. The one thing I don’t dig about Chuck is his clothing. It’s really awful and a bit too Peeps-colored for my taste. I shall picspam you all later with his hotness and terrible fashion. ;)
