Twilight!!!!!! & The Latest Randomness

April 1, 2009 | By Heidi | Filed Under: twilight | Leave a Comment

So I just realized that I haven’t written about the release of Twilight on DVD!!!

Of course, I got it. We got our copy at Borders…the hubbs volunteered to venture out and brave the swarms of screaming girls at midnight to get me a copy. Then he hurried home so we could be up half the night watching it!

Because I’m a HUGE Twilight obsessed geek, I also pre-ordered it on iTunes so I could put the movie on my iPod and listen to it at work…hehe! AND…i got all the extras too!!! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Ugh, I make myself sick I’m so obsessed! LOL

So, I’ve watched the movie here at my desk at least 5 times and I’ve listened to it at work at least twice and watched the extras at work too…of course, on my lunch! haha I’m actually relistening to the books and am about halfway through Twilight. Whether I’ll move on to New Moon, I don’t know…I have a lot of other books to listen to.

Audible was having an AWESOME $4.95 sale not too long ago, so I bought a bunch of books. My iPod is now full of audiobookie goodness! Now to just listen to them all!

AND not ALL are even of the romantic/fantasy genre! Aren’t you proud of me? I do have a few that are of some substance! LOL I also have The Host by the same author who writes Twilight that I should actually listen to. It’s about aliens…

What else has been new in my world?

We had to start locking the Topaz up again when we leave the house. Last week he got into and ate an entire box of Quaker Raisins and Spice Oatmeal! Raisins!!! Ugh, scary stuff! Well, we took him to the vet and they induced vomiting and he wound up throwing all the raisins up. Thank God. He’s totally fine now. I swear, that dog has 9 lives! lol But, for his own safety and for our peace of mind…back to the cage he goes. He’s not thrilled about it, but it’s better this way all the way around!

He’s been seizure free for 44 days now too, which is a GREAT thing!! He bounced right back, which is awesome. Almost like the seizure never happened. And hey, if that’s how it’s gonna be, I’ll take it!

Hmm..what else…

Oh, I basically abandoned the 365 blog. I couldn’t keep up with it and I actually kept forgetting to take pictures and was spending more time “catching up” than I was actually enjoying the challenge. So I may try in May to take a photo a day the entire month…or rededicate myself to it starting in May. I want to learn how to use my camera better and spring is coming and there will be PLENTY of beautiful photo ops coming up!

And Scrapping…well, my PC wouldn’t really even let Photoshop work right for a long time, so scrapping was out of the picture. We’ve fixed that now though…so let the scrapping continue! LOL

I’ll try to update here more often as well!

Twilight…the movie. My Thoughts!

November 30, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: twilight | Leave a Comment

Ok…so yesterday was FINALLY the day I went to see Twilight the movie! First let me say, it was AWESOME! I loved it!! And So did the hubbs and my nephew! Hubbs even wants to read the books! LOL…too bad we don’t have them. We may have to get them for him though.

The movies was everything I thought it was going to be and now I cannot wait for the DVD to come out! Hopefully it will come out soon. I can’t imagine them taking their time with this one. And I will definitely be sending the hubbster out at midnight to pick this dvd up for me and I truly HOPE they offer a digital copy, or else I’ll be getting one on iTunes!

So my thoughts…well, I knew going in that to cram the entire Twilight book into a 2 hr movie wasn’t happening. Kind of like the Harry Potter books…they left out some things from the book to the movie and added in a little bit to make it all flow better or to explain things that were kind of left unexplained or foggy. So the same thing happened with Twilight. Sometimes I think that reading (or listening to in my case) the books too many times before seeing a movie can make you focus on the differences or what was missing rather than the actual movie itself.

Like my husband, he’s never read the books…and he loved the movie. Of course, he didn’t know that they added in this part or left out that part, or these two parts were out of order. Which may be a good thing…

So, aside from how the movie and the book were different from each other, I thought it was done really well and really enjoyed it!

I don’t understand why for most of the movie Edward looked so mad! And Jasper…omg he was kind of ridiculous, like a deer in headlights. LOL I’m sure there was a reason…maybe he was like that in the books and I missed it lol, I’m not sure. But it was kind of funny. And Rosalie…um, BITCH! lol But she really kind of was like that.

I give Twilight a definite two thumbs up…loved the book, loved the movie and cannot wait till New Moon!

Twilight…Tomorrow & Wasabi

November 28, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: family, twilight | Leave a Comment

Tomorrow is the day!! i FINALLY get to see Twilight!! I am SO excited! I cannot wait! I think my hubbs is going and we’re taking my 11 yr old nephew. He’s read the first book and is also pretty excited to see the movie. Hopefully we can find a matinee to see it at and it won’t be too crowded.

I will update tomorrow and let you know if I loved it or not. I’m sure I will!! Now to just wait when it comes out on video. LOL and yes, i WILL be getting a digital copy! I am totally addicted.

Do you like the new look to the blog? I love these embellishments! I cannot believe Christmas is right around the corner!!

Thanksgiving was fun. We had dinner…with all the fixins, then looked at the sales papers while my mom and sister made their game plan for this morning. They went out at 4am! Good LORD!! Guess they got some great deals though, which is good! The hubbster also went out on a hunt for movies. He got me the full season of My So Called Life. I’ve been wanting it for a while! How exciting!

And I was able to get a few pictures of my sister’s kitty, Wasabi…he’s a beast…check him out!! He’s not a year yet!

And here he is in April when she first got him….he’ll be a year on January 18!

How cute is he??? He’s a chicken kitty though…which is too bad. But he’s SOO huge and floppy and has the softest fur ever! I just want to snuggle him! He’s really beautiful too…and my sister says he’s BAD!! But he’s a kitten…and well, we like bad in our house.

Here, we’re out numbered and they’re taking over. heh
