This article about the new Twilight movie had me cracking up. It’s a great article, first off… and put to rest some of my fears about the book to movie transition. Some of the author’s choice words are amusing, to say the least. Check it out, it’s a good read. Here are some notable quotes from the article that had me laughing..

Hardwicke tenderly builds the love story of the emotionally lost Bella (Kristen Stewart) and BVOC (Big Vampire On Campus) Edward (Robert Pattinson). Their relationship develops under cloudy skies. That’s not being metaphorical. It seems vampires have blingish skin that sparkles in direct sunlight.

Okay, BVOC? Brilliant!! And yes, I’d say Edward Cullen is indeed the Big Vampire On Campus. I wish I’d thought of that. And as you can tell by the title of this post, I love his “blingish skin” - so funny. I’m very curious to see how they blinged his skin in the movie… I only hope it’s half as good as I have imagined Edward Cullen’s blingish skin (I just like saying that now).

The action picks up in the last fourth of the book, when Bella becomes the blue-plate special for a group of vampires who prefer to dine from the human menu.

Keep in mind, I’m easily amused… blue-plate special made me snort. I like this guys style of writing.

In case you didn’t know.. it’s TWILIGHT WEEK!!! And in case you have been living under a rock, or don’t know how to read (why else would anyone NOT read these books?)… I am sharing the trailer for the movie with you here today. Ok, it’s not the “official” trailer or anything, but it’s one of the better ones! I’m so excited I could just… oh, I don’t know…. kiss Edward Cullen or something really crazy like that!

And can I just say, James is one pretty hot vampire, too. What am I saying? Vampires are hot, period.

And yes, I’m fully aware that I sound like a raving lunatic at this very moment. It’s all good. This is my escape from reality, let me enjoy it, will ya?

I must interrupt Twilight Week here to bring you breaking news!

I just found out (thank you Donna) that Motley Crue is coming to New Orleans Feb 28th with Theory of a Deadman. Presale tickets are on sale NOW, general public tickets go on sale December 6th.

If I don’t get tickets to this concert, I promise you, I will flood this town with tears.

Motley Crue is my absolute favorite band EVER. And I love Theory of a Deadman. And I like a couple of Hinder’s songs, too. I want to be front and center, right in front of Nikki Sixx - oh, what a dream that would be. I know that won’t happen, but I will be happy just to be there. I am going to get tickets. Two of them. I don’t even care who goes with me.

Aaahhh… I can’t take this! Luckily for me, I get paid the day before tickets go on sale. Let’s just hope I get all of my bills caught up before then so I have a little “extra” to get the tickets. Or I’m telling you, it’s not going to be pretty around here, folks!
