And next is my fangirl worbble about Robert Pattinson. Man he's hott! I love this pic. I saved a few others for my iPhone. I'm also over the moon about hearing Dakota will be playing Jane for New Moon. And they are in Vancouver now. November isn't THAT far away. And the DVD will be out this weekend. I'm getting the Borders Exclusive DVD. I want the extra footage. And then I'll get a blue ray copy for the quality too. I >LOVE< that movie. Haha... incase anyone was in question about me watching it 16 times so far. Man I need a life.

I titled the above video "Deleted Scene" and it added the additional "Deleted" on the end like a spaz. It's a spaz... not me--well it's not my being a spaz in this instance.

Is it Tuesday already? Time is passing so very quickly. Maybe this bodes well for all the books coming out that seem so far away right now. I did meet with Jamie on Sunday at Kamal Palace in LB. I should have had D get a picture of us together. I didn't think of it at the time. I wouldn't mind seeing more of her. It's nice that she drives now. Maybe we can go for sushi after she and D get off work one of these days. A Monday maybe.

I had therapy yesterday and we talked about something that I am starting to feel terribly bad about and it's not very funny although for a while I was laughing about it. Dr. Moore made me realize how wrong I was to share the thought and now I just don't know how to take off the table. I think I'm going to avoid it and see if it won't go away. She'd be really proud of me taking that route too. Damn, what a mess.

I finally got my big Christmas present hung and displayed in my bedroom. I like it very much. D done good. I love my poster. My only wish is that I had had one of the 11.21.08 posters too. I would have put them right next to one another. But that is probably a greedy thought. I love what I have. Thank you Puppy.

So I was up all night reading Rachel Caine. I finished Lord of Misrule and found the first three chapters of Carpe Corpus on her website. I liked many many many things about Misrule. I did think it needed more Shane but I would probably think that regardless of how many pages he graced. It was strange that the entire books spans about 3 days. It feels like it should be many more. A lot happens. And just when I start grumbling that it seems she will never turn 17, I see that her birthday is the first day of the next book. So it then staggers me to realize that months pass between Misrule and Corpus. My favorite character out of Misrule isn't Shane, it is Myrnin who has some of the best lines in the entire book. My least favorite part of the book is the ending. I would really like to have them have a week solid of peace. And there are 5 more Morganville books. I can't even fathom the sexual tension between Shane and Claire in book 10. Unless she starts writing cut scenes. Come on cut scenes. Shane deserves some nookie.

The book I'm going to be starting soon is Sunshine by Robin McKinely. D spotted it at the bookstore because of the cover. When he read the backcover he knew I would be into it because there are vampires. So we will see what it's like. Although I haven't read any of it today. I slept late and then have been playing on the KMM message board. I always feel like a twit on message boards. But I have been sporting my love for Barrons and explaining how I think making Jericho be a vampire or a werewolf would be so mundane and wrong. I hope the story doesn't take that road. Some girl suggested that he will be something unique and I hope she is right. Something unique and powerful. Hello, is it August 25 yet? Only 230 days. I think that it was longer when I started counting down Twilight. See not long at all.... and the wait until City of Glass? Just 76 days. I can't wait. I'm vibrating with anticipation. 

This week Possession comes out. It has Lee Pace and Sarah Michelle Gellar and I'm really looking forward to it. I love me some Lee Pace, although he forgives me for not watching Pushing Daisies this year. I don't know where it is opening yet but I think the boy will be taking me to see it. I would also like to go and see Twilight sometime this weekend. It would make easy if we could movie hop but Twilight isn't up in a lot of different places anymore. So we will just have to wait and see.

Thursday night D and I are going to the Staples Center to see the Ducks play the Kings. Go Anze and Raitis. I would like to be able to stay up the entire game. We'll have to try it out as a new thing. There is just something embarassing about falling asleep at a sporting event. A year ago I would have been all for the Ducks but then they traded Andy. I have man-loyality. And Teemu and Beauchmin aren't playing. It leaves little to be excited about. Hell, they don't even have Bertuzzi for me to be excited about someone hitting. But it will be a good game. We will have fun.

And as is if yesterday wasn't good enough I found that when I turned on the images in my KMM newsletter that it had a pic of the cover of Dreamfever! I can't wait for it. I found all the books in hardcover so I can have a nice set of them. I'll have to re read the set once I get them.  And it's not long now until the end of March and City of Glass. I'm listening to City of Ashes at the gym and it just keeps those fires burning. I think that it is just what's newer in my mind but I want Dreamfever much more. It could be that horrible end where the world is folding in on itself and Barrons isn't there to save her. I'd die for him is a terrible way to end a book about surviving. Back to City of Glass... Cassandra Clare had a contest for ARCs of the book and one person made Magic Cards with the characters on them and they were so neat. Of course my favorite is Jace Wayland. Then I loke the Alec Lightwood one. I wish these actually existed.

I'm of half the mind to watch some TV today. This is highly unusual. I have the gym today so anything I would want to watch gets cut into by that. And then we are going to go and meet Jamie in LBC for some Indian. By then this idea will have burned off. Tomorrow I'm meeting Nicky online at 11:30 so it is out then too. Then I have Dr. Moore. I have plans to read Lord of Misrule sometime in the next 24 hours too so that leaves me really short on time. But I have Sinchornicity, which D found for me and Lost in Austen. D is going to have Hex come through on Netflix this week. I will have to readjust my mental thinking to work on this.

New Years Resolutions!!
I made a few... alright more than a couple. I was generous with my resolve and not doing so great on a few of them. But I will list them here so that I can look back and know which ones I need to work on.

1. Go to the gym three times a week. 3 hours cardio and 1.5 weight training.
2. Lose 15 lbs and keep it of.
3. Be more mindful of my hygiene. 
4. Do something social each week.
5. Read 5 books a week.
6. Walk more.
7. Clean the house one a month.
8. Keep on top of the kitty litter.
9. To let my hair grow. No cutting it.

I don't know how well anyone else does with resolutions. The best I ever did was making it to October as a vegan. Then cheese happened. I don't know how well I will do this year having made so many... but I figure I'll see and maybe one or two will stick.

On one of the feeds I have someone capped the Twilight movie and unfortunately they didn't have the end credits. I badly want the bite that is in black and white at the end of the movie. There is a bit of DVD release info around the internet on how there will be a regular, special and Blu-Ray edition. I will want one that I can see all the extras with.  I can't wait until New Moon goes into production. Also in March. A lot will be going do in the month of March.

Christmas 2008 was a good one. I was really happy with things. I like to draw out Christmas so we only open a present per hour and then we watch tv or movies the rest of the time. This year we watched Roswell, which served only to remind me how much I love Shiri Appelby and Jason Behr. We watched select parts of Season 1 and the first five of Season 2. I forget how much I love this show. But back to Christmas.

I got a new purse from D's mom full of tea from refugees from Nepal. Kai Kai spent this morning pulling it all out of the bag under the tree and playing with it. I got two long sleeved t-shirts from D in gray and black. A black Gap cardigan from D's mom which I love to death. A gray hoodie shirt from Old Navy. A gray hooded cardigan from American Eagle. A green sweater from Old Navy. A gray hooded sweater from Old Navy. All of which were from D. Oh he also got me jammie bottoms. They are really heavy and that rocks because the apartment is so cold during the winter since we don't use the heat. Someone got me a Taking Back Sunday t-shirt. So I will be way fashionable the next show we go to. I got Carnivale, Season 1 from D and I think D's parents got me Hellboy 2. I got the Magic Bullet from my mom. She does a lot of weird cheap stuff but then she comes through with the bullet, a B&N gift card for $50 and cash. I love her dearly even if there are times when she just confounds me and drives me to tears. D also got me my Twilight poster framed. It should be ready next week. Then it's going to be hung right over the bed. I hope that won't be creepy for D.

D got the newest Prince of Persia game and DC vs. Mortal Kombat from me,  so we may never watch real tv again until they are beat. I got him Dr. Horrible. His mom and dad got him a special screwdriver with replaceable nibs. We never really have projects that require screwdrivers but maybe we can lookout for them now. I got him a pair of jeans from Old Navy and two Gap sweaters with three pairs of Gap socks. His mom got him a pair of Gap jeans, a blazer and a vest, which is too big, so we are going to have to exchange it. I also got him the Iron Gym. It's the pull up gadget you see on TV where you install it over the door frame for doing pull ups. He loves it and does some everytime he comes through the door. I got D a Sharks t-shirt and a license plate holder. Ah see something he can use his screwdiver on! D's mom got him some of the edgiest ties. I should have taken pictures of them. Maybe I will make him take some pictures of his gifts for his Vox. That is a good idea.

We had a good take. I think it will hold us over until Easter which I am making a gift giving holiday. Wait I can't if it interferes with going to Portland but then there is Valentine's Day. They should all be holidays where we decorate the tree in a new color scheme and exchange gifts.

I forgot about my books that I got. I got Moonheart from Heather. I am dying to read it. I had it before and mooched it being dumb. I also got two other de Lint books, The Onion Girl and Dreams Underfoot. Bother are Newford books. I have a long way to go to have them all but this brings me closer. I somehow got two copies of The Onion Girl and I'm going to exchange it for Little (Grrl) Lost. I want D to read it so badly. I also got $100 in B&N gift cards. Combine it with what I already have and that is easily $140. Which is good because Lord of Misrule comes out next week and there is a Kresley Cole book out in a few more weeks. Yes Barnes and Noble will be seeing a lot of me.

Yesterday D and I went to Universal Citywalk to see some movies and we ate at Wasabi where, usually, I gripe about something. Yesterday was no exception. We got the uneven table that they said they would fix and never came back. We were in the draft of the door which they kept leaving open when it was 50F out. They brought me yellowtail rolls instead of veggie rolls and asked if I wanted them instead of what I ordered. It was a disaster. I love Iso and Wasabi just makes me realize that so much more. When we left we went to It'Sugar and I fell a little in love. I got two mugs one says A Little Coffee With My Sugar Please and the other says When It Comes To Sugar I'll Say When. I also bought candy there. It's like heaven for my sweet tooth.

We went to see The Spirit and Twilight yesterday. I had started to have hope for The Spirit after having generally no interest and that was where I was wrong because the movie was just terrible bad. I did like Sarah Paulson in it but that was about it. The screenplay is a hot mess. Gabriel Macht comes across as wooden. The jokes are so heavy handed that only the 12 year olds in the theater found it funny. I never thought I would say that Samuel L. Jackson could to worse than Mace Windu but it was a travesty. They snuff a kitty. Scarlett Johansson is so so so bad. I think the only part D liked was the part where Eva Mendes is naked. I didn't think she was that attractive to begin with. I blame Frank Miller. I wasn't a big fan of Sin City either and the only good thing he's been involved with in my opinion is 300. And did you know they are making a sequel to that? How I ask! They all died in the battle of Thermopoly. And I'm more disturbed because I still want them to write Gerard Butler into the sequel despite knowing the King went down fighting. So, no.... I won't be going to see The Spirit 12 times. I am sad that Twilight is going out of theaters. I would like to see it three more times before it's gone. I some how spaced out last night and missed the final kiss. Go figure.

I have been pouring through my feeds lately. I miss the breadth and depth of the articles that were out a month ago. I find I am just grabbing desktops and pictures. The Twilight world is quiet and will probably stay that way until March when maybe, maybe New Moon Mondays with Larry Carroll will start. Until then life is going to be kind of dull. Althought I do have Rachel Caine livening things up. She is pretty good about writing about how far she is in her books and updating her website. She even does contests in which I can enter. I'm never going to get over the Cassandra Clare thing.

Now I need to start thinking New Years Resolutions and Christmas clean-up.

D, Belle and I went to see The Tale of Despereaux yesterday and I liked the little mouse. It was sold as a childrens film but it really came across as much older. The lessons in it were about forgiveness and bravery and I can't see anyone younger than 10 or 11 putting the pieces together. The one other thing that was a bit off was that Matthew Broderick (I love him to pieces-Go Ladyhawke) was too old to be the voice of Despereaux. D read somewhere that it was supposed to be Justin Long and that would have been better. But I loved many parts of the movie. Despereaux's ears for one. I loved that the princess is British but her dad isn't. I loved that it was overcast for a long time but it won't rain and that soup makes it rain. And I love Boldo the vegetable man. I almost cried when he fell in the war against the rats and that the soup will never be the same again. It was a good movie.

I finally watched the last three episodes of So You Think You Can Dance Canada and I was so excited to know that Nico won! I was so harried when I watched the finale because Canada does theirs different and doesn't eliminate any until the very end. I was so excited when he won though. And when he hugged Arassay I get a goofy smile on my face. Now I have to keep on top of SYTYCD Australia for when they start theirs. I wonder where Jack is now. Maybe he will come back to choreograph one of the routines this season.

So if the band aids at Hot Topic weren't ludicrous enough (yes I want them regardless), Torrid has come out with a Twilight perfume. Because I'm such a fangirl I want it badly. I think I will let it wait a little while but I will have it. The bandaids I hope to have much sooner. D might be stopping by Hot Topic on his way home from work next week. I wonder when the New Moon stuff will be coming out. I was sad to see Twilight is out of the theater in the Grove. We are going to see it on Friday at Universal Citywalk, along with Valkyrie and The Spirit. I am eager to see how Gabriel Macht does as The Spirit. I want to be impressed with the movie. I hope it doesn't leave me with the feeling that Sin City did.

On Tuesday I went buying many books and I came across this book called Wondrous Strange that just came out and utterly intrigued me. I am most excited to read it although I won't be able to because of all the others that I have to read before it. I already love it from the blurb, it's a fairie book. Those win everytime. Speaking of which I am up to the fourth book in the Highlander series. I finished the third just earlier today. I won't be able to really get anywhere in it until maybe Saturday. I do want to read them as quickly as possible, Faefever is available at the library already. I have five books to read before I can get to it. Then I have to read the fourth Vampire Kisses book so that I can read the fifth before it's due at the library. I'm not good with library books.

Tomorrow is Christmas and I am amped up. I want to open presents! I kind of worry that I won't sleep tonight. I plan to take pictures of Christmas, I hope D likes his presents.

Last night I went to see Twilight for the tenth time. It was still awesome. I did notice a flaw in the screenplay. It's small but now that I noticed it it will bother. When the nomads come to the field and James does his, "You've brought a snack" Rosalie jumps to defend Bella but then in the scene in the garage she asks why she should help. My answer would be, because you did in the last scene. And how does Edward and the Cullens follow her to Mimi's when she never tells Alice and Jasper where it is located? Another plot flaw. But despite those things I still love it. I would like to go and see it with Belle and Susan. And now New Moon officially has it's new director. Chris Weitz will be at the helm. I don't know if I have much faith in the guy who accepted the screenplay for Golden Compass with it missing the last chapter of the book. I hope we don't miss the last chapter of New Moon. I'm eager to hear what will happen with casting for NM. D has been keeping an eye out for sides but nothing yet. I am seriously leaning towards our Spring trip being Portland. I know it doesn't have the pizazz or sunniness of Hawaii but I would love to see Shanny and to get to play fungirl and go to some of the locations that the movie was shot at. It sounds like such fun and Hawaii isn't going anywhere. It will still be there the next year. So yeah I'm at 75% sure of going to the Pacific Northwest.

Today was a really busy day. We had to get me shoes for D's work Christmas party and I chose shoes that I don't believe I will wear that often over the ones I loved. I really regret getting them. The other ones were even on sale. I love shoes but why do they have to be such a labour when choosing them? Then we had to go to the comic book store and now we are up to date on Spike, Buffy and Angel. Our next mission is to actually read them. We are about five issues behind on Angel. Appalling. Then we went to Petco and got a friend for Nate. I haven't named him yet because I'm leaning towards either Jace or Seth, after Jace Wayland from The Mortal Instruments or Seth from Wicked Lovely and I would be heartbroken if I had to say either of them had died. So for now my little black moor goldfish is Little Fish. Then we went grocery shopping which was an ordeal because I was there. It had to be twice as expensive because I like to shop off the shopping list. It's like I'm the bane of D's life at times. I did get pickles, silk nog and raspberry sherbet. Score! Then we had to go to the boss's Christmas party. I was not excited about it because I have the social graces of a rock. He did have a nice house and the fresh pineapple was yummy. I even had a glass of bubbly and reminded myself that I find champagne god awful. We came home and made french toast with cinnabon bread. D's a master chef and it was so good. Oh and in between the grocery store and the party I wrapped D's Christmas gifts and I love Christmas. I keep wanting to talk to him about them and that would just be bad. I'm so excited for Christmas when he will open them and hopefully like them. I know three things that he will love. The rest is all up to the gods.

I have been reading some the last few days. I read both Novel of the Darkyn books I had and they were sort of disappointing. I will read the others in the series but these books were highly recommended for being good vampire books and they just aren't. I also read the first Others book, Wolf at the Door by Christine Warren and it was a good fantasy romance. The writing is sort of mediocre and the story isn't what I would call original but it had something to offer. Last night I started Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning and I was sort of blown away. I only got 70 pages in but the style and tone is incredible. It's categorized as romance but there isn't any romance in it so far and I would classify it as fantasy/suspense. It reminds me if you were to take Sookie Stackhouse books and Dante Valentine books and then threw in faeries, but better written then the two, then that is how I would describe it. I plan to read Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind this week. I don't know if I am ready for it but I don't think I ever will be. I'm just going to have to jump in.

Tomorrow I'm meeting Team Logan at Mo's in Burbank at lunch. Tam will be there and I haven't seen her since last Christmas. I'll get to show Belle my new silver nail polish. She will love it. I hope to make plans with Susan and Belle to get lunch or dinner this week sometime. I don't see the group, well hardly ever. It'll be good to touch bases.

I have to sleep sometime soon. I am not tired. It's 3:30 in the morning. My sleep is a mess. Stupid red eye. I haven't been the same since. I doubt sitting here listening to music and updating my last.fm helps.

I just finished Wizard's First Rule and I really liked it. I already bought the second and third books although I think I need to take a break before continuing. I really liked Richard, although he cries entirely too much for a man over the age of five. And Kahlan was not at all annoying. I kind of liked the evil wizard, Darken Rahl. I do have to say the 40 some odd pages of torture were painful and tedious. And Zedd is someone I find annoying but the book as a whole was really good. I think the way Richard's mind works is fascinating. I love his really clever solutions to things. I hope he doesn't change with future books. It's a clever book. Maybe too smartly written for me since I was just in awe. There is a line that I really love. People who had paper and wanted to draw your face, people who had leeches and wanted to draw your blood. It's talking about the outside of a castle gate and the conglomerate of peoples there. It drew a picture in my mind stronger than what had been drawn before.

So it's been a week since I wrote in here and I have done things. D was home a lot of last week and it was really nice. We laid in bed and read a lot and played marathon games of Scrabble. I love the boy. We actually watched a Sharks game together last week. I haven't watched any hockey other than the game we went to. We used to share that and I'm so off of TV that I just don't do it except rarely. I wish I could say that would change but it won't. I will read over TV at every option. I did go to see Twilight again last Friday. We met Crystal in Pasadena. She tried to get me to go see some Swedish horror film but I don't see that in the cards. Today I did most of my Christmas shopping for family. It's so expensive. I would veto it but I really like the getting of presents. If only the giving wasn't so costly. There is one present under my tree and it's for Belle.

The reading has been going slow lately. It took me a week to read Wizard's First Rule. It was a meat 800 pages but still. that should be two days not seven. I did manage to read Snakecharm while reading it though. Snakecharm had me in knots for no good reason. But still I was tense the entire time. I really liked Rei being in .... woops D is reading it now and I shouldn't spoil him. I will say something about Rei and Danica really bother me. It seemed from one book to the next it didn't hold true. I have picked up the next two in the series. I like the lore of the Kiesha'Ra. It's well done. I will probably read Falcondance before I read the next Terry Goodkind book. I went on a book buying spree and I need to read more than I buy but that is not the case in the last week. I bought a couple Lynn Viehl, Novel of the Darkyn books, a Christine Warren, The Others book one, Yasmine Galenorn's Witching and more Amelia Atwater-Rhodes books than you can shake a stick at. The thing is I still have The Weather Warden books that I bought two months ago and Lilltih Saintcrow's Dead Man Rising. I have to start reading like a fiend before Christmas comes and I get more books. What a slave.

So my trip to Alaska is coming to a close. Tomorrow night we will be flying out. I have liked it very much although there haven't been very many opportunities to take photos. Today we went off adventuring and we found an ice carved turkey at The Santa Claus House, in North Pole, Alaska, along with some nifty reindeer. I went to find some muskox and caribou at University Alaska Farirbanks but the veiwing station is seasonal and it isn't the right season. It was a nice ride around the campus though. We went to a used bookstore that had a little bit of everything but nothing that I was looking for. Then we made the trip to the northern most Barnes and Noble. I managed to find Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' Snakecharm and Demon In My View. Then I went and had a yummy grilled cheese at the northern most Denny's before twisting D's arm to letting me see Twilight again. There is this prevailant habit of people up here to talk through movies. It drives me insane. All I can here is the chatter, it totally distracts me from the movie. I want silence in a movie theater. I don't even want to hear the crunch of popcorn.

So yeah, tomorrow night we have a true red eye. It's going to be hell. I have books... I stupidly read my new Rolling Stone this evening. I could have killed a half an hour on the plain reading it. I think I will listen to City of Bones and read Wizard's First Rule. I might cheat and read Snakecharm too. I hope I can make it without being literally falldown tired. I am not a person who can fall asleep and then wake up and be okay. Once I fall asleep I become retarded and can't function at all.I'm pathetic like that. I'm not ready to go back yet.

Last night I went to see Twilight for the fifth time. Due to some narcoleptic-like issues I fell asleep at the fight scene. If you know how I get when I'm tired you will know that it had nothing to do with the movie and everything to do with not being able to deal with life after 9PM. I love the movie more and more with each veiwing. With every new imperfection. For the last week or week and half I have been playing the soundtrack in serious rotation. My favorite song on the album is by Blue Foundation, it is called Eyes on Fire and it's so pretty. I've also played Rob's songs with every intention of making myself sick of them. It hasn't happened so far. I'm not a fan of the Lullaby. It's not how I imagined it and it doesn't hold up to multiple listenings. I like the remix of Bella's Lullaby more than the actual thing. The piano piece doesn't sound like what Edward would compose for her though. It lacks a dark quality. I do so LOVE the score Carter Burwell did for the movie. It's played most notably when Bella is looking up The Cold One after Edward drives her home from Port Angeles. It continues until she leads him up into the woods. I want that song and it is no where on the soundtrack. D promised me he would lift it from the actual movie if need be. After the movie comes out on DVD I mean. Oh and I love the Linkin Park song... the lyrics are pretty. Chester rocks the pretty words. A really weird thing is that I used to be able to learn song lyrics after like the third listen and I am positively lost with them now but I pretend I know them and sing out loud the wrong words with gusto. I'll admit when there is no body to watch I even dance. But for that to happen I have to pretend I'm drunk and the world is unpopulated.

Alaska in 17 hours. I was up at 3AM this morning. I don't know if it is mental retardation or pre-travel nerves but I was bright eyed and alert in the early hours of the AM. Which is really nice so that I can shower before we have to leave. I wanted to last night but read above of near narcoleptic hoo-haw. Alaska. I am so very excited. Although I can't even conceive of how cold it is going to be. Not even in a nightmare can I imagine. I hope it doesn't hurt. I have such thin SoCal blood these days. There will be a million pictures I think.

I haven't read a book in 4 days. It feels absolutely unnerving. I tried to read Amelia Atwater-Rhodes book Hawksong today in the waiting room before therapy but the receptionist are the most annoyingly chatty people on earth and I kept getting distracted. I only read 3 pages before listening to the audiobook of City of Bones which reminds me that I have to at City of Ashes audiobook to my iPhone because I'm close to finishing City of Bones. And D is excited because I am going to start Wizard's First Rule as I promised. I have been liking Legend of the Seeker and where as I do understand the two are only losely related I still like it. I want to see the romance part of the story. Go Richard. I did also bring two other books that I can't remember and City of Bones. I brought 4 books for 6 days and Wizard's First Rule is a thousand or so pages. Luckily it's dark for 20 hours a day.

I have seen Twilight only three times so far. This morning will be four. I hear that it is doing really well in the box office and that they have already got the go ahead for New Moon. All music to my ears. I actually like the movie. I've heard some other people with contrary opinions but I don't understand them. The worst I have to say is that the effects weren't so great, but considering the budget I have to say they could have been worse. I also heard someone who said that the story was too truncated but it is already a 2 hour film it really would have been too long if they added any more. And at the Catherine Hardwicke Q&A we were at yesterday someone said there was too much Charlie and I disagree. I liked having him more fleshed out. I thought the acting was very good with the exception being the part in the ballet studio where it sounds like Bella is orgasming and it looks like Edward is eating her arm. That part seemed clumsy and I think that goes back to Catherine. Just bad direction there. I loved the part where the Cullens are introduced. Gil Burmingham's parts were a thousand times better than in the book. I LOVE the music that is played when Bella is leading Edward up to the mountain. I must locate it however it is going to happen. I'll ask on Lion and Lamb or something. The kiss scene is soo good. Very sexy. Not how I pictured it but having seen this take I have to say I won't quibble with it. Michael Welch was one of my favorite parts. He plays Mike Newton in the best, most comical yet not too funny kind of way. And then there is Kellan. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Kellan Lutz? Because I do. I really REALLY do. And my boy Krys is in the La Push scene with Taylor Lautner and Solomon Trimble. And then the one thing that bothered me but bothers me less with each time I see it is the sparkling. It makes me think of freezer frost. And despite the sparkle no where in the movie does he utter the dazzle line. I can live without it but I would have loved to see it in it. I did like almost all the lines that were lifted from the book though. The "You are my life now" didn't seem half as corny as it did in the book. You go Rob for delivering that one with a straight face. And the adrenaline rush line was also delivered in a way that didn't make me cringe like I did when I read the sides. I'm happy with it. I know I am going to go and see it a few more times. I already can't wait until it comes out on DVD and I am so very excited for New Moon.

And despite all this I still love Jace and Clary more. I will be reading City of Bones while up in Alaska. After Wizard's First Rule, of course.
