Thursday is the day!

I cannot wait! Last night I read New Moon again. Not my favorite book. I just can’t get into the whole Jacob section. But the movie looks awesome! It really looks like it’s a huge step up from Twilight, visually at least. I’m hoping the acting/direction is a lot better, and the script is more to the book. Those were my biggest gripes with Twilight.

My sister and I are going to a midnight showing. Of course this means I need to travel an hour + to get to her theatre. The movie is at 12:02 and is 2 hours 10 minutes long. Which means I’ll get out of there about 2:15ish. After dropping her at home, I’ll be home around 3:30ish. Note: I am not off the next morning, and the kiddo IS going to school. I will be completely useless Friday morning.

I’m hoping to get to see it again in the theatre. Maybe that Saturday as well.

And after all the New Moon stuff is over {and I will be buying the Blu-ray as soon as possible} it’s time to get cracking with Thanksgiving.

This year we’re having more people, which is great. Finally a big Thanksgiving! There will be nine of us, plus the baby {I’m an aunt!}. I am truly excited. But, there is a lot to do. I’ve got my list together of everything that needs to be done; cleaning, shopping, and made. Now to just get it all done.

And now on with Monday…

Oh to be a fangbanger

It’s no secret, at least amongst friends and family, that I am addicted to vampires. I’ve always had a thing for them — Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Lost Boys, Van Helsing. Then they began to mix werewolves in with them (I’m a werewolf fiend as well; American Werewolf in London anyone?) — Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Underworld Rise of the Lycans. Heaven. Pure heaven.

Then came Twilight. Swoon. I thought I found the god of all vampires: Edward Cullen. He’s absolutely perfect — and then they get Robert Pattinson to play him in the films. COMPLETE heaven.

But Edward, alas, is just a boy. That’s right, I said it. It makes me love him no less, but he is just a boy. Enter True Blood and Eric Northman, the 6’5, viking vampire MAN.

Normally, I like my men with dark hair and never long. But with Eric the Viking – I just can’t help myself. Maybe it’s the way the book portrays him. Whatever it is, I’d gladly give up my human life to be with him.

In May True Blood comes out on DVD and I already pre-ordered it on Blue-Ray which is a big step since we don’t have many blu-ray DVDs (Pinocchio 70th anniversary, Outbreak, Independence Day, Swordfish and soon Twilight). I cannot WAIT to watch it in HD/BR. Yay! Just wish it would get here faster — HBO has been playing the episodes on HBO2 EAST but not WEST and for some reason, we only get WEST. (Huh?)

Vampire vs Werewolf

These guns and abs are definitely a HUGE plus in the vampire vs werewolf/Edward vs Jacob game. They are soooo yummy, I’m thinking about switching to Team Jacob. Maybe. Never-the-less, enjoy.

I’m Addicted to Etsy.

It’s official. Every morning, I log onto the computer, sit down, and type etsy into my address bar. I can’t help myself. I ? Etsy. There are SOOOO many things I want to buy… I feel like Veruca… I want it ALL!

I’ve found that Etsy really does cater to shopaholics like myself. Anything you could ever imagine… right there at your very finger tips! It doesn’t help that most sellers (I’ve only dealt with a few) are super nice and soooo willing to help you. The few I’ve dealt with have been nothing but above and beyond what a seller should be.

Right now my addiction is with Twilight items. ::sigh:: Yes, Twilight items. A few of my favorites are below. Sigh. Maybe one day I’ll win the lottery and be able to buy everything at whim. Then again, maybe not.
