I have a new obsession

TWILIGHT.

I saw movie trailers for a new movie that is coming out in December, called Twilight that was about vampires. It looked pretty good as I was investigating it further and i realized that it was based on a book by the same name. Websites were comparing it to the Harry Potter series so i ordered the 1st 3 books from the series from Amazon.

I read all 3 books (each around 600 pages) in 4 days. That's dedication. The general premise is a regular small town girl falls in love with a vampire. The fan base for these books is huge and dedicated, and I see why. I know the books are intended for teens but, like Harry Potter, it doesn't matter, they're still good.

Now I can't wait for the 4th book to come out (AUGUST 2ND)! Unfortunately I will be camping that weekend so I am making sure that I am back to CP Sunday before the book store closes so I can read it Sunday night and Monday before I drive home to Wilmy that Tuesday. MUST find out what happens before my 12 hour car ride!

I am always intrigued by movies/books/tv shows about the supernatural. Horror movies are my favorite. I wish it all was real! I am the last person to admit that anything supernatural could really be true (my mom is the master ghost believer and i think she's craaaaazy) but that doesn't mean I don't want it to be. I just want proof. Otherwise I think it is just people's creative story telling, like TWILIGHT!

Anyway, love twilight, love Edward Cullen (the vampire) and anyone who is easily amused by books technically meant for a teenage girls but have a huge fan base should read them and then we can talk.

Rock Band

I recently invested in Rock Band for my wii. It may be one of the best games ever. Now that I have had some time to practice, I would like to formally challenge anyone who may be near me, at any time, to play with me. I may kick your ass.

Seriously though, I <3 it.

The other night I had 2 friends from work come over and we played for 4.5 hours (til 4am if anyone is wondering). 32 songs and many drinks later we finally decided we had had enough when one friend was getting particularly bad at all instruments.

I am bringing it home with me when I come home (IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS) and expect many people to play and drink with me. Just a warning.

Cheers and Jeers

TV Guide does a section every week called 'Cheers & Jeers' which calls out things they like and dislike on TV the previous week. I decided I want to try it too.


Jeers to The Secret Life of the American Teenager for having a young couple say 'i love you' after one date. Although the show does have actors who ACTUALLY look like high school kids (which is rare to find), this early 'i love you' makes this show annoying and ridiculous. Those words should never be uttered by a 15-year-old. And for the over use and emphasis on the word Christian. I get it, they're religious. Let's move on.

Cheers to Weeds for being always amazing. Specifically this week, for juice boxes. Guillermo makes me laugh every time he opens his mouth, I hope he is on the show forever. Also, for Doug remembering that he has a son, who hasn't been mentioned since season 1. Thanks Weeds for making me feel like you remember your earlier seasons.
(side note: I just found out this week that the actor who plays Guillermo (name in real life: Guillermo) is gay. I was amazed. He plays a bad-ass drug dealer, the least likely person to be gay. Never in a million years would I have guessed, go Guillermo for being an amazing actor. I asked him to be my friend on myspace, that's how much I <3 him)

Cheers to Burn Notice for being funnier than i remember. The chemistry between Fiona and Michael was better than last season also. Although slightly predictable, a genuinely fun and interesting show.


Jeers to Jon and Kate plus 8 for Kate being such a bitch. She tries to take all the fun out of everything the kids try to do with her anal micro-managing. They went to make cupcakes this week and she was high-strung and obsessed with messes the whole time. LET THE KIDS HAVE FUN! And she is so mean to Jon, who seems like he tries to do just that, have fun. If only there was a button to mute only her.

And lastly,

Cheers to Secret Diary of a Call Girl for showing us that hookers have emotions and how to make a man your bitch, literally. I wasn't too sure about the show at first, but it has grown on me. I really like the main character, and the show is smart, funny and provocative.
