I got sucked into a Degrassi marathon yesterday. How did I get so emotionally invested into teen romance on a tween television show? Sheesh. I'm 'shipping characters already.

Watched Twilight last night. I actually loved the first half of the movie. There was this tangible atmosphere that captured the novel well and also captured the ( Read more... )

I haven't even seen the movie version of Twilight, but I'm all jazzed about the trailer for New Moon. You guys, Jacob. He's one of my all-time favorite characters ever. And I don't care if that makes me a complete idiot. He's just too wonderful. As a side note, I'd like to say that I'm ignoring everything that went down in Breaking Dawn. ( Read more... )

I was going to buy Breaking Dawn, the last novel in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, sometime next week or whenever I was next in the book store. Now, I don't know if I can bring myself to do it. Some rumblings of spoilers cropped up earlier this week, but I ignored them. While at work yesterday, I fell into boredom and click on one of the LJ ( Read more... )

Mentioning the Twilight series seems to elicit strong responses. So many people love and/or hate the novels. So many other fandoms have been overrun with Twilight fans trying to convert unwilling people to the dark side. I went into Twilight with a bad impression, but with a determination to give the books a fair shake. Actually, part of me ( Read more... )

+ This piece of Hellsing fanart by Solid&etc is so gorgeous and wonderful. I drool...

+ The folks at the Mises Institute kick everyone's ass. Why aren't we listening to them when they are so flippin' smart. Everything I read there makes so much sense. This just goes to affirm that politicians (including both presidential candidates) know fuck- ( Read more... )

First, I'm a huge dork, but I think we already knew that.

So, Twilight... I'm still a bit iffy on some of the bits and pieces in this third novel. It's okay, and some of it I enjoy greatly, but I'm not knocked off my feet. However, I adore, adore Jacob. The angst and tension between he and Bella is absolutely delicious. I'm tempted to start ( Read more... )

I have to share this delicious musical cheese. Two of the CDs I ordered a few days ago arrived on Friday afternoon. You know, the Party ones... I squealed like a girly-girl when I checked the mailbox. Why in the world did I get rid of these albums when I had them back in the '90s? I love them. What did I think I was, cool or something? I'm ( Read more... )

I'm obsessed with Etsy. I bought a beautiful necklace from a woman named Mary on there. I placed the order very early Saturday morning (or late Friday night, depending on how you look at it), and she sent it out to me on Saturday. I got it this afternoon! The USPS must ride like the wind between Phoenix and Albuquerque. It's actually a ( Read more... )
