That is much appreciated. As a fan of vampire stories and a person who has been conscious over the past few years, I’ve certainly been “exposed” to Twilight enough.

I fact, I even read half of the first book and watched the entire first film of the series. Both of those are time I expect to seriously regret wasting when I am on my deathbed. Horrible, hated it.

There’s no point explaining why. If you hate them too you understand, if you love them nothing will change your mind.

So why am I bringing this up? Because a friend sent me a link to a hilarious blog about grammar/writing in Twilight, and you should read it. Go to Reasoning With Vampires.

Just a sample:

It is in honor of the long awaited announcement today that the next Bond movie is actually being made, and Daniel Craig is starring in it.

Unfortunately, unlike J, horror movies actually scare me. A lot. It’s embarrassing. We just watched The Strangers, and I’m seriously freaked out.

The boyfriend thinks this is hilarious, of course. He loves to watch me panic. But when I’m too scared (see now), he has to help talk me down. So we’ve been chatting about plans for my family’s Orlando vacations, Thanksgiving menu ideas, and whether or not to send the dog to obedience school.

Re-read the book again? Might just end up disappointed about what they have to leave out. Especially since I’m already annoyed that they’re doing the last book in 2 movies. That never goes well.

What say you?

I can’t help myself. Even with commercials I have to watch when it’s on. For those who haven’t seen it, basically Sam Jackson has had it with these motherfucking sharks on this motherfucking atoll.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Tina Turner recorded versions of all the songs that appeared in What’s Love Got To Do With It – Angela Bassett’s lip syncing is great.

Bonus: Fab version from Glee!

The boyfriend just asked me what’s going on with my face. He means the zits. For some reason lately I’ve been breaking out a lot. It must be some new product I’m using or maybe laundry detergent.

Whatever it is, I’m finding myself for the first time in a very long time looking into how to get rid of acne, and quickly. Charming. I had terrible skin when I was going through puberty, and always stressed out about it.

Hopefully this time I can get rid of it, determine the cause and behave like a mature adult (yeah right) about it.

Speaking of which, the movie 13 going on 30 was such a piece of crap, right?

Most of that is winter things and stuff we’re probably going to get rid of. Today’s task (before heading out to see the new Harry Potter movie) has been going through all of our books. Including the 12 new books we’ve acquired since moving in but haven’t read yet.

After an hour the boyfriend and I decided that we needed to introduce beer into the sorting plan. It was getting painful to decide what to give away, so we thought a little buzz would help out. And it did. We spent 2 hours total with books and beer and have 8 boxes to give away, and I’m in a great mood.

Living without cable makes me a lot more open to watching random things I find. One such film is Elsewhere. It’s about two small town girls. One is troubled and is played by Tania Raymonde (Alex for Lost fans out there). The other less troubled one is Sarah, played by Anna Kendrick who was in Twilight according to IMDB. Don’t get me started on that pile of shit.

Anyway, Tania’s character Jillian disappears not long into the film and it is up to Sarah to find her. Blah blah blah. The movie is fine, but Lost completely ruined the surprise of who took Jillian. As soon as I saw Jon Gries (Roger Linus/Workman), I knew he did it. I mean, obviously he did it. Before he even said a word. Hell, it was before Jillian event went missing.

I turned to Paul and told him – that guy did it. He killed her. And probably some others too. And he did. I was hoping for a twist where it was the geeky friend or the mousy daughter, but deep down I knew it would be Roger.

Here’s the trailer if you’re interested.
