In the LA Times for tomorrow is an
article with pictures about Twilight. I scanned them because they were pretty and should be shared. The first one shows Catherine Hardwicke and the production team getting a shot. The second one shows the Nomads and the third is a gorgeous picture of Bella and Edward.
Also I went to get my tickets today for the Stephenie Meyer book signing in two weeks. And low and behold I find out the signing is at Torrance High School, aka Buffy's High School. We drove by it today while we were down there. It was all closed up but I still have all my photos from when I went there and re-enacted scenes from Graduation. I haven't watched Buffy in months. I miss it. But I have my tickets and I know where I'm going and I have three copies of The Host now too. We have to go and return them. I think more than having my copy of The Host personalized, I want my Twilight copy signed. Although that means I will have to buy another copy of that so I will have a reading copy and a special copy.
While at the book store I got a copy of C.S. Lewis' Prince Caspian. I
can't see the movie until I've read the book and I kind of want to see
the movie. It was a cheap book. It will be painless to read. I hope. Of
course I still have to finish Stardust. And to complicate things further I need to read chapter 7: Nightmare, from Twilight, in my reading circle with Jason. I have to do my thought summary sometime tonight. And in the car, David and I are on chapter 11: Cult, in New Moon. I am a little torn in too many directions with books. But it's okay, I will deal with it. Soon I'll be like new again and I'll be back to reading a book a day.
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.
