movie weekend

this past weekend brought us the openings of Breaking Dawn Part 1 and Happy Feet 2...i was super excited going into the weekend...but i must say that i was slightly disappointed coming out of it...

BREAKING DAWN PART 1:

i think the biggest problem i had with this movie is it was extremely slow moving...some parts just dragged out a little too long...like i dont care that bella and edward played chess on their honeymoon...when it comes to vampires, im so used to the extremely fast pace of the vampire diaries...tvd would have fit everything that happened in the 2 hr breaking dawn movie into one 42 minute episode...it started getting good and exciting towards the end...but then it ending and we have to wait for the next part...

i know it sounds like i didnt like the movie at all but thats not true...there were some really great parts...the friends from high school were at the wedding and they added some great commentary...bella's dad charlie was awesome as always!...young werewolf seth provided a few great moments...and of course there's emmett...he doesnt say much in the movie but oh.my.gwad. he is HOTTT!!!!...i just like to look at him...haha!!!

HAPPY FEET 2:

first i want to say, the little penguins are super duper adorable...little erik! omg, i wanted to squeeeeeeze him!!!...there were also some great dancing moments...and a few laughs...but my problem with this movie is that they made it way too political...the whole thing was pretty much about global warming...if im going to see a movie about tap dancing penguins im going to see it for entertainment...if i wanted a lesson about global warming i would have stayed home and watched the news or discovery channel...this is the biggest problem i had with the first happy feet...but that one only got political at the end...i wanted less politics from the second instalment not more...ugh!...the happy feet people should watch surfs up...now thats a penguin movie done right!!!

well thats all i have for now...did any of you see these movies? if so what are your thoughts?!?...let me know...dont be afraid!...

obsession

i have noticed that i become addicted to things pretty easily (not bad things...no worries)...it could be a tv show or a book or a game or even blogging...i find myself trying to squeeze in every possible second to satisfy ny need to do whatever it is im obsessing over at the moment...and then after a while i start to lose interest...lets take a look at some of these things...

blogging~> last year around october novemberish i was blogging almost everyday...how was it possible that i had so much to say?...i probably didnt have anything interesting to write...i just put down anything so i could say i blogged for the day...i was obsessed so i did it...i had to...but now i kinda just write when something comes to me...i dont try to find stuff to talk about...its just what comes out...

games~> these addictions dont last as long as some of my other ones but if i find a game i really like i feel like i constantly need to play it...i started playing bejewled blitz on facebook and loved it...i even downloaded it to my ipod so i could play it on the train...so i pretty much play it all the time...i think im almost over it but not yet...there have been many games like this over the years...

tv shows on dvd~> if i start watching a series on dvd thats all ill watch...all my other shows fall by the waste side...there have been times that i have stayed up way later than i should have because ill say oh ill just watch one more episode...and then 3 episodes later im still saying just 1 more...when i was a senior in college i watched all 10 seasons of friends in about a week over my winter break...thats crazy!...i mean really...who does that?!?...right now i am obsessed with survivor!...right after last season was over it was on sale on i tunes so i bought it...i never really got around to watching it but then the other day i decided hey why dont i watch some of this again...of course i couldnt stop until the season was over...(yay jt!...he's totally my survivor fobo!)...now i want to buy another season...but i dont know which one...anyone have any suggestions???...

twilight~> last fall i was completley obsessed with twilight...i gave up my morning nap to read...i couldnt wait to get out of work just so i could continue reading...and then the movie was coming out and i need to know everything there was to know about it...i absolutely LOVED all things twilight related...i even blogged about it every tuesday...then after all the hype died down i kinda forgot about it...of course i went to see new moon on opening day this year but i wasnt nearly as excited for it...so of course im still a fan of the whole twilight saga but im not going crazy about it anymore...

backstreet boys~> this is my longest lasting obsession...of course its more intense at times than others but i think its the one obsession i will never get rid of...ive been a fan since 7th grade what can i say...they are my all time fav and ALWAYS will be!!!

twilight tuesday!

my plan for todays twilight tuesday was to talk about why i love the book so much but when i got on the train the internet wasn't working on my phone so i couldnt spend my time blogging...then when i got home from work i ate dinner and dj came over so i had to entertain him...and then i had to take a shower and now i'm telling you why i couldnt write my twilight tuesday blog...haha...


so next week i promise i will be sharing reason why i <3>twilight...until then if you love twilight just as much as i do then i suggest checking out http://twilighters.org it has anything and everything you could ever want that is twilight related...so have fun!!


hopefuly i'll be back tomorrow at my usual time...

twilight tuesday!

hello all...or none...i'm still not really sure if anyone actually reads this or not...but it doesnt really matter cause it gives me something to do on the train...but if you are reading dont be afraid to comment...let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions for future topics...thanks in advance...

so to celebrate twilight tuesday i want to talk about tayor lautner...he plays bella's bff jacob black in the movie (only 3 more days!!! get excited!!!)...while i do think he is a cute kid i'm not here to talk about how hot he is or anything like that...to me he will always be the kid from cheaper by the dozen who takes sally (from mikes super short show) on a date to the movies...so yeah i'm like an old lady in comparison...lol...anyway i'll be moving on now...there seems to be many people out there who are concerned about taylor playing jacob in the rest of the movies...not becuase of the actor but becuase of the character...i must admit that i had my doubts at first too but now i think he will make an awesome jacob in all the movies...and here is why:

1) in new moon jacob grows a good foot in a short amount of time...i think that they were smart in casting a young actor to play jacob in twilight so in the time between filming twilight and new moon he will age (possibly have a growth spurt) and look more like the jacob in new moon...if they were too cast an older actor for the role the chances of him looking exactly the same from movie to movie are much greater...so i have faith that taylor will be able to pull off older jacob no problem...and is it just me or does he already look older and buffer (more buff??...whats the proper way to say that??) compared to how he looked in the movie...so while it is important for the rest of the cast to look the same taylor needs to get older and he obviously is

2) it will be impossible to predict just how tall taylor will actually get but i'm sure the movie people can work their magic and make it look like he is close to 7 feet...in harry potter they make hagrid tower over every one and in real life he isnt nearly as tall as they make him in the movie...i think that looks fine so i'm not too worried about the hight issue...

3)last thing that makes me think taylor is a great jacob is watching him on "my own worst enemy"...he plays the son of the main guy...not really a huge role but in last weeks episode they showed him at some type of martial arts fighting event...i dont know any of the right terms to use here so just bare with me...he was in a match using a long metal stick...i read somewhere that taylor was good at that kind of stuff but WOW after seeing it for myself i was super impressed...that was the moment when i said "yeah...he is def our jacob black"...i was sold and from that moment on theere hasnt been a doubt in my mind that taylor is going to be an AWESOME jacob in twilight and the rest of the saga!!!

alrighty thats all for now...if i'm going to continue to have twilight tuesdays maybe i'll have themes for the rest of the days of the week...any suggestions...

happy twilight week!!!

**omg...i just wrote sooo much and i held down the clr button for a second too long and lost it all...grrr...stupid new fancy phone...okay so let me try again...**

before we get into the amazingness that is twilight in celebration of twilight week let me recap the events of last week

SURVIVOR: so there was a merge and matty is safe...yay!...charlie got voted out at tribal council this week...its a shame he had to be the one to go cause i didnt really mind him...he was a nice guy...but he was in the other alliance so i had to be one of them...randy has got to go next he is one annoying guy

THE CW: so the jets won!...it was close though...they won in overtime...so no salt was poured in my wound but it was held over them ready to go at any second...lol...also SMALLVILLE and SUPERNATURAL were shown on saturday night...good thing too because lots of important things happened in these episodes...**spoilers ahead**...if i didnt know the events leading up to Chloe not knowing clarks secret anymore i would have been lost...thats a huge event and i must say that i'm a little sad about it...and on supernatural we found out what happened to sam when dean was dead...and why he trusts ruby so much

ALTER BOYZ: omg so funny!!!...if you get offended easily i would not recommend this but if you like to laugh and realize that the jokes are all in good fun then you should def go see this show!!!...i loved it!!!...and omg Neil...at one point he was right in front of me singing to me...i think i stopped breathing for that moment...haha...who knew the boy could sing...so yeah very funny go see it!

ROLE MODELS: i know i didnt say that i was going to see this but i did so here is a quick review...this movie was very funny...again if you like a good laugh you should go see it...but its rated R so leave the kiddies at home...and dont forget your id...cause if you're 23 but look 12 like i do then you might just get carded...thats right i got carded at the movie theater...haha!....it case you dont know what this movie is about you're in luck cause im gonna tell you...so these 2 guys (paul rudd and sean william scott) get into some trouble and are sentenced to do community service at a big brother type program...they each get a kid...one is a geeky teen and the other a trouble maker 10 year old...and the crazy antics ensue from there...i was laughing so hard tears were coming out...so go see it!

TWILIGHT!!!!....the movie comes out on friday and i couldnt be more excited!!! i fell in love with this story...britt suggested that i read it so i took her advice and from the moment i read the first page until when i finished breaking down i put my life on hold to read...i just could not put it down...the story pulled me in and wouldnt let me go...i couldnt wait to get out of work so i could read...i even cancelled my daily morning nap on the train to read...thats huge for me...lol...its such a great love story with some super cool vampire stuff thrown in...i just love it!!! i'll admit it i'm in love with a fictional character...so now all i need is for a real life edward to come along and sweep me off my feet..but to be honest even though i love edward in twilight i think in real life i would be more compatible with someone like emmett...

i think that will be it for now...i have a whole week to talk about twilight so i'll save some for another day...ttfn!!

where has the time gone???

i feel like every time i blink another month goes by...time seems to be moving faster and faster...it feels like i just wrote a blog a few weeks ago...but no it was almost 3 months ago...i dont understand...its not like my life is oh so exciting that i cant find a few minutes to write in my sad little blog that i'm pretty sure only cait reads...lol...((thanks cait!!!))...

so yeah i just cant comprehend how it is november already!!!...hopefully i wont let time slip away again before my next blog..and i promise to put something interesting in it...well i can try at least... =)...maybe i'll go back to reviewing the shows i watch so then i feel like i have to blog and i wont be mia for too long...its too late in the season for the amazing race (TAR) and dancing with the stars (DWTS)...but maybe i'll start sharing my survivor thoughts...we shall see....oh and of course i'm going to need to talk about twilight soon because i am completely obsessed right now...only 9 days left until the movie comes out...yay!!!!

umm...thats it for now...happy blogging all!!!
