And now, to get back to actual work

[cleolinda]

Ah, it's time for the Twi-spam. I haven't heard anything in particular about the Tour of Terror events from Friday, so maybe they came off without incident? Or perhaps, as I feared that other time, there were actually no survivors to report back. Even the Saugus article just kind of cuts off before they really get to anything

Interestingly, the reviews for the jewelry are filled with people going "a great deal for $20!" and then the Amazon price is $143, so I think there must be some weird price fluctuation going on.

I think they're saying it's only worth $20? Maybe?

[cleolinda]

Well, that would make more sense.

Okay, the lady giving NReed her baby to hold? I can just see this woman thinking "POOR ROSALIE LET ME DO SOMETHING LOVELY FOR HER" with this empty look on her face as she fails to separate real life from fantasy.

I watched bits of the Much Music interview and was mostly just laughing at the TV. Interviews always suck for the singers/actors because it's a horribly loud environment, but this took the cake. The weather SUCKED yesterday and I couldn't believe how many screaming tweens were out in the rain! Without umbrellas!

At the point when the VJ doing the interview gave some movie to the actors to give out to the crowd, I had a vision of RPattz getting pulled in to the crowd NEVER TO RETURN. D: Smooth move, Much Music... send him straight into the crazy hoards...

fails to separate real life from fantasy.

Which seems to be a recurring theme in the Twilight fandom.

Abso-fucking-lutely.

The prices for the jewelry don't make any sense. Read the reviews for the bracelet: one of them says she paid $20 for it and it was good at that price. Another says she had to order three before she got one she could wear, because of the first two, one was broken and one was poorly painted. Why she didn't just return it is one thing, because these are probably teenagers who don't realize you can do that, but why would anyone order three of something that's a hundred and fifty bucks if the first one arrived broken and the second was shoddily made?

The price must've been recently artificially inflated due to the madness, is the only thing I can come up with. They don't seem to have gotten around to it for the manjewelry, though.

[cleolinda]

Yeah, there's a whole bunch of not making sense going on there.

The sad thing is, I keep looking at the manbracelet going, "You know, I think I would actually like a wristband like that. Just... not with the Cullen crest on it."

(I wonder if there's a Jones family crest? That would be kind of hilarious, to get shiny important Jones family crest jewelry, since 1) my real name isn't Jones and 2) there's got to be a million billion Joneses, so it's not like it's a particularly exclusive crest.)

Although I'm sure that's only one of many.

[greedyskunk]

I just looked up my crest on the site. I don't know which is worse, the Italian version with three flamethrowing chicken lizard things or the Spanish version with two baskets and a white flag.

Seriously, a white flag? I know I'm not super brave, but come on now.

(Victoria the Bad Vamp. I covet her hair).

And rightly so. She is very very hot. Also, she better be wearing the "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" shirt in the movie.

Re: the Carlisle pics

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO PETER FACINELLI'S HOTNESS.

What. Just. That is a man who should never ever be blond.

[cleolinda]

I know, dude. I spent five months going WHAT? And now... I've spent so much time looking at Twilight crap that now... the blond is starting to look hot. I'm coming down with Stockholm Syndrome again, I think. Like the time I started thinking what a cute name "Renesmee" is, 12,000 pages into Breaking Dawn.
