I know I'm probably going to piss a lot of Edward obsessed fans off with this but you know what? It's my blog and I have an opinion about this.
I like all kinds of books and movies. I'm pickier about my books than movies, but when all is said and done, if it ENTERTAINS me, I'm happy.
I, like millions of other women waaaaaayyyy out of their teen years, read the Twilight saga.
All four books.
And, it was.....eh.
The storyline has a punch but the writing was quite frankly, juvenile.
However, it IS after all, a teen book. It was not written for adults.
So, I can forgive that and say in all honesty, I was entertained by the books.
Will I consider them in my top favs?
Nope. Not even close.
I did like them enough to want to see the movie when it came out.
However, due to lack of all encompassing interest, I never saw it in the theatre. And I was fine with that.
I did buy the DVD on Saturday. But not at midnight on Friday like millions of others.
More like 8 pm on Saturday night. There were still about 100 copies in the specially made bin that was placed ever so cleverly in the junior clothing department.
I did take it home and watch it that night. Started it around 11 pm or so but had to stop it and watch the rest in the morning as I was too tired to continue.
That should tell you something right there.
As far as movies go, it was fine. Not great, not horrible.
Just fine.
Kristen Stewart is a horrible actress. Robert Pattinson is not hot at all. At least not in the movie. I preferred him as Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movie. There was NO emotional connection between the two. I blame Kristen for that.
They underutilized the character Jasper and the guy playing Jacob was a disappointment.
And as far as vampires go?
This......
is NOT a vampire.
This, however......
is.
And, really, who encompasses a vampire spirit more so than the one below:
Need I say more?

Hi, I'm back.
I was gone for a day. Didja notice? Didja miss me?
Anyway, just a bunch of random stuff once again. I have ideas for blog posts but I can't seem to get off my lazy butt to write about them. One day, my friends, remind me to tell you about the nude play.
-------------------------------------------
I was just listening to Pink's "Stupid Girls" and you know that part where the "stupid girl" is in the bathroom and barfs up her grape she had for lunch and then says in that weird hoarse voice "I will be skinny"? Well, I imagine that's what the girl that crawls out of the T.V. in that jerky motion from "The Ring" would sound like. And that creeps me out. For reals.
-------------------------------------------
Don't you hate it when 31 year old mothers try to talk all hip and cool? (see the above last two words).
-------------------------------------------
I hate that Wal-Mart only seems to carry swim suit "skirts" for people either a size minus 300 and super short or size plus 300 that falls to mid-calf. Really, is it too hard to sell a size large swim suit skirt that hits the mid-thighs?
-------------------------------------------
It was Turtle Day yesterday. My mom found a turtle munching on a plum in our backyard yesterday. We kept him in an old laundry basket and meant to let him go when we got back from the pool, however, he had other ideas. He managed to tip over the basket and just left without a single good-bye. Rude turtle. Good thing I managed to paint a small red dot in nail polish on the back of his shell in case he decides to return. That way I can properly tell him off.
On the way to the pool, I saw a HUGE ASS turtle in the road. I stopped and picked him up and set him in the grass....at least 12 feet from the road. You're welcome.
------------------------------------------
A mouse and I had a stare down this morning in the pots and pans cabinet. He blinked first and ran away. Hahahahaha! Stupid mouse. I won!!!!! Nanny, nanny boo-boo.
-----------------------------------------
Wait, the mouse got away....I guess that means he really won, right?
-----------------------------------------
How come when I hear the song "It's A Hard Knock Life", I just want to run home and feed light of my life some porridge and dress her in tattered clothing and sit on the couch and watch "Annie" all day long?
-----------------------------------------
I heart Stephenie Meyer.
I got more later. Gotta go pretend to work now.
Later,
Mama Dawg
