The other day at the release party for Breaking Dawn I bought a bunch of books that I clearly don't need... A couple Sarah Dessen books, The Vampire Diaries and Vampire Kisses. Does anyone see an overall theme to this post? Do I read books other than vampire books? I definitely do, it just really doesn't seem so lately. HAHA and thinking about it right now, I bought two more Sookie Stackhouse books tonight too. I am not a weird vampire lover. I feel really weird about all these books now but anyway. I haven't started on any of them yet because I also have a kajillion Harlequin Blaze books to read and they go into the bathtub better than bigger books. Very few of them are about vampires. 2 that I have read so far, but the majority is not. So take that my growing reputation as a lover of the bump in the night. *sigh* That sounds dirty now. I feel like I'm giving the wrong impression all over the place.
D told me this story about this town that sits below the mountains and all the real estate is cheap because the mountains landslide once every so many years. I saw it as we drove by and it's not much to look at. I wonder if you are so desperate to own why you wouldn't invest more sagely. Maybe some people are just risk takers. It made me feel sad. It seems like a hopeless cycle.
And lastly, and only Heather and David will get the significance of this photo, but a silver S60 Volvo.
Going back to my Stephenie Meyer obsession, there is an excellent NPR story on her here. I love how much attention she is getting. I really do hope that this gets the fires burning so that when the movie comes out there is a real buzz going and it succeeds. I worried when I read the production budget went from 35 million to 60 million. That made it all that many more seats that have to be filled. And I don't want the movie to just break even, I want the franchise. I worry for it. I need to up my Geodon.
I got to discuss Twilight in therapy today. We talked about what I'm drawn to and what I relate to in the stories. I felt a little ridiculous explaining that there were vampires and werewolves and mind readers and psychics. I tried to explain New Moon and I think I got carried away. But it was good. I know some of the reasons why I am so wrapped up in it. And then when I went to the gym I listened to the audiobook of Twilight while I rode the bike for 13 miles. That is 40 minutes in case you were wondering, and I still am in chapter 1.
When I got home tonight, after I studied for my test, I checked my Google Reader and found that MTV already posted their Twilight Tuesday article. I love the video below. It would be that he doesn't want kids when I am already married. *sigh* Can I have a multiple marriage? I could suck at being a wife to two guys at one time. The beginning is Catherine Hardwicke talking about the music for the soundtrack and then Ashley Greene talking about her hair before it gets to Rob.
Jason is going to read Twilight with me and we are going to actually discuss the reading. I am looking forward to this. It is like seeing the book for the first time all over again. It will be a challenge for me to not spoil things. I know the significance of small comments. I will have to curb the urge to point them out. The book really is better the more you read it. You can, and I guess to some extent are supposed to miss the signs and little things the first time. You are just as clueless as Bella. So in the first reading when Bella enters Biology and Edward is looking at her with hateful eyes, you just miss the importance of the fact that she notes that he isn't moving as if he weren't even breathing. You miss the amused chuckle when Bella asks Edward how is night was--not knowing he spent it watching her. I love the book even better having had the second read. Everyone should have to read it twice... or at least listen to the audiobook after.
I feel like I'm not being grateful. I got the interviews and these articles and Greetings From Twilight is up and yet I keep wondering what new Twilight news will be there tomorrow. I know that not everyday is going to be choc-a-block with new things. And if I am to actually pass my exam on Wednesday then I need to refocus for a little while. It's just so rewarding to get something and let's be honest... it's nice to be rewarded. But maybe with fewer postings of Twilight related things I will start Voxing about life more and fantasy less. But I do love my escape. A LOT.
I spent all day in bed rereading Twilight. I saw so many things I didn't know to catch the first time. There are so many Edward-isms that make me 'awww'. It's still my favorite book of the saga. Now that I finished it and D is reading my New Moon, I will have to read one of these other books I have. Which isn't the biggest deal, but I just want to stay in Forks. I am very excited for the movie. I have been going to the LJ community Lion & Lamb and checking out posts about the filming. Of course I realized today while reading it that they are really going to have a hard time converting the book to screenplay. They will have to cut out a lot of great parts because, lets face it, it would get a bit repetitive if the movie showed her waking up and having breakfast with Charlie, going to school, English, Spanish, Trig, lunch where she stares at Edward, Biology where she stares at Edward slyly, Gym where she hurts herself or others and home where she cooks for Charlie. Check. Now add dialogue with Edward and repeat. They will lose days and that means they will miss some of the dialogue and I already mourn it's loss.
Tomorrow I have no Art History. I have another day to myself. I do have hopes to leave bed tomorrow. I probably will spend the day reading New Moon. I know the new Serenity, Better Days comic comes out. I wasn't that impressed with the first issue. Maybe I can pick a project for tomorrow and accomplish something. Who knows. Tomorrow's my oyster. And oysters are those dirty, slimy things.
David finished Twilight today. I don't have to censor myself so much now. He liked it and said that he understood how I could get so wrapped up in the story. He also understands the crush on Edward Cullen. Not that he has one. I don't think he does, but maybe. He equated the themes in the book to those of Roswell and Buffy. I think he really likes it and that makes me happy. He started New Moon tonight and he's already a good portion into it. And I emailed Nielle the pdf copy I have of Twilight. I asked that she read it before she read the Dark Hunter books. It's such a good book it deserves to be read.
Tomorrow is Monday which means I have therapy. Of course it's the only thing I have all week, since I don't have class this week. I have a headful of things to talk about with Dr. Moore. I know I need to discuss obsessions and fixations, my desire to runaway and my jarring reaction to being introduced yesterday as David's wife. I don't know why I felt so panicked at that. Like they were going to judge him because of me. I need to discuss it though.
I finished my Twilight books and I am so bereft. I got so involved in them it is jarring to have to read something else. I totally have a book crush on Edward Cullen. It is breaking my heart because D hasn't started them yet and Heather is only a third of the way through the third book. I want to talk about them and no one is at a place to talk with me about them. *sigh* I am forcing myself to read some of my new books. It's something and in another week or two I can spaz out and reread Twilight again.
But about Eclipse, at first when I finished it I just had a sick feeling about the next book. I really think Stephenie Meyer could screw the pooch with it. It will make me wish I hadn't read any of them. I think Eclipse had an entirely different feel, to me, that Twilight or New Moon. I do have to say though that it does seem to flow from Twilight to New Moon to Eclipse.
I must have loved it or I wouldn't be mourning it's end so much. I don't know how to rate my feelings on it though. I love everything to do with Edward. I still hate Jacob. Bella still pisses me off. So I guess in that nothing has changed since New Moon.
It will just be interesting now to see how long I can go without rereading them. It will have to wait until D has read them at least. I can see me rereading Twilight over and over. I'll have to parse out parts of New Moon. I won't care to read the majority of it again. I could barely stomach Jacob the first time. And Eclipse... I spent an hour this morning rereading my favorite parts and I am already thinking about certain parts again. I love the chapters Temper, New Born, Fire and Ice and Needs, especially.The boy just loves the girl so much. It's hard not to love the boy.
Speaking of TV I thoroughly didn't enjoy ANTM last night. I would go so far as to say that it almost bored me. And man, Lauren can't walk... she needs a lobotomy to be what she needs to be. Dominique was irritating as usual. I want her to go so I don't have to hear about how much of a contender she thinks herself to be. Fatima did really well. I was surprised because she was flat for a few weeks. Claire. Claire, Claire, Claire, what can one say? She tanked in my books. She was such an ugly person personality wise the week before and this week I just couldn't care about her. Katarzyna looks good with her new haircut though. And then I'm just speechless that Stacy Ann is doing so well. It's Anathema.
Belle and I went to see Stop-Loss tonight. It has got to be one of the most depressing movies to see. It was good, but it left you with little hope at the end of it. Tatum Channing and Ryan Phillippe were very good though. The previews were uninspiring. I didn't see anything that really caught my eye. Although the other day I did see a preview for The Happening and it caught my interest. Although, and I said this to Heather and D, I'm not sure that I have a lot of faith in M. Night Shyamalan. I feel burned by his last two movies.
Tomorrow is another day at the Villa. I am anxious about it. I do hope that I will get some pictures to put in here.
