I read Twilight a while back, and wasn't a huge fan. With all this hullabaloo about
Breaking Dawn and the
Twilight movie coming out, I thought maybe I would give it another try, since everyone seemed to like it so much. Then as I searched the interwebs I found out that I am
not the
only person who
doesn't like it and I don't feel so bad! Luckily

And I concurred with your Doctor Who statements -- I was greatly pleased with Donna's arc, which made it all the worse to see it undone at season's end. To go through all of that and remain vapid and superficial just seems so...futile. But Rose got her half-human Doctor Luv, so everyone's happy. (And God knows what/who Mickey will end up doing with Torchwood.)
And Laura Roslin is made of win and awesome. Why no Emmy nods for acting in that series just...just baffles me. I know genre acting is frowned upon, but for the love of Cow, she was spellbinding in everything she did. Even -- especially? -- the last episode.
And always good to see you 'round these parts.

I need to rewatch the Doctor Who finale because at the time, I was so worked up over the kissing that the rest of the episode (and the not-entirely-perfect-ness of that situation) didn't really sink in for me. I think in my mind Donna is still traveling and I just pretend that didn't happen or something =P
I can't believe she gets no Emmys either! My favorite two episodes of hers this season were the one where she is talking to the other woman dying of cancer and has the vision/dream of herself on the boat, and the one where she saves Gaius from dying. Normally it bugs me when TV shows try to be like "Look, here is proof of an afterlife!" but when it's Laura Roslin (and I have accepted the presence of Angel Six in Gaius' head for 4 seasons), I am like "Yes ma'am." And then I want to kill Gaius so bad but when she goes to save him, it almost makes me understand/believe in forgiveness. Laura Roslin is changing my freaking life!

I think I might be able to stand these books a little more if they weren't pushing the "Edward and Bella are a perfect and admirable relationship" thing. Because they seriously bug me, he is really bossy and she just makes no sense ever.
The last one sounds completely insane so good luck when you get to that one :)
Oh oh how was DC? I hope someone made it to entertain you...

But like I said, I've only read the first two.
DC was way fun, the wedding was absolutely stunning, and after the post-wedding brunch I entertained myself by reading the first half of "Next" in the park. :-)

Cool about Redskins training camp! Yeah, that totally does make you the coolest sister ever.
Parts of the Olympics Opening Ceremony that was broadcasted was CGI though. Stupid Chinese government controlled the media and said all feeds in the entire world had to come from their "China Olympic Broadcasting" station. So that station spliced in CGI to all the other feeds, who had no clue at the time that it was faked.
Have fun in Western MD! Deep Creek Lake is very nice. =)

So far all I have heard was faked were the fireworks and the little girl lip-syncing (which is soooo rough!). Normally that wouldn't bug me except for China's record of controlling the media etc. As long as they didn't fake that awesome giant LED screen!
