I mowed the lawn, and the lawn won. After mowing I just felt very ill, I’m thinking I wasn’t hydrated enough.
Hello three day weekend . . . it’s awfully nice to meet you, you should come by more often.
The third website I visit every morning is news.yahoo.com, I briefly check out their top stories, then click on the Comics link to read my four daily comics, and then it’s usually off to their Most Popular section.
Even though one of my readers was nice enough to remind me to renew the BagOfNothing.com domain, I still haven’t done so. I have just a little over a month left.
I don’t know what to think about the Mike Snider sendoff . . . they kept show news segments that he ‘covered’ like the death of Princess Diana? Yeah right, like he actually covered that story in any detail.
I need to clean my gas grill, the iron grates are a bit rusty.
I’m almost tempted to watch the first Twilight film just to see what all the hype is about.
re: Mike Snider's last newscast – I thought it was interesting that Jane was not at the desk during the montage and his final words. For most of the last 3 minutes it actually seemed as if his remarks were pre-recorded.
Take some advice from a HUGE Twilight fan…the book is needed before you see the movie. And, the movie will disappoint (although my hubby wasn't too disappointed…but he never read the books). After the producers saw how many fans there were of the book and the disappointment in the movie (it was suppose to be a flash-in-the-pan Teen Flick), the producers are now striving to have Part 2 (New Moon) and Part 3 (Eclipse) and upcoming Part 4 (Breaking Dawn) to follow the book more closely – which they SHOULD considering the cash cow this has become for them. New Moon was closer to the book. I had NO INTEREST in Part 1 and it's actually the reason I stayed away from the book because why would I, a grown woman, be interested in a teen novel! Well, thank goodness I got bored one night and my mom had the book around. (Which, by the way, I had been making fun of her for having the book…because why does a grown woman need a teen novel!). A shocking 42 hours later I put it down…it was that awesome! My mom then read it…it too her 4 days only because it was during the work week – not even she could put it down.
The story is about a human girl that falls in love with a vampire (Team Edward). She also ends up becoming best friends with a werewolf (Team Jacob). The series is about teenage love and angst – she wants to become a vampire to be with Edward forever, he doesn't want her to lose her soul, she falls in love with Jacob but "not in that way", he loves her "in that way". And, there are other vampires and werewolves that just don't think she should be around anyway in their private little worlds. And, then there's book 4….!
I have say, though, that it REALLY bugs the living crap out of me when people make so many negative comments about this story. I personally love it for many reasons. The writer is a Mormon from Brigham Young and has young kids herself. She still (despite her enormous fame) observes the Sabbath. And, the books reflect that. The characters in this book are full of drama, but tell me which teen isn't? Yes, the vampires sparkle but it's fiction. They could fly for all we care…cuz it's Fiction! They also aren't running around town drinking or having sex. Meaning, I wouldn't mind if my daughter read these. There's even that oh-so-scary concept of waiting to have sex till your married! (huh!?) It's not a literary masterpiece. Wasn't meant to be! (Teen novel folks) The author herself says that she's a great storyteller – not a great writer! Even Stephen King has bashed her writing…and, he's not so hot himself either. I could go on and on. But, at the end of the day, she's a good writer because she keeps you entertained and, in my opinion, in a very tasteful manner. What's so horrible about that.
