Sooooooooooo, the trailer for the new twilight movie is out. My bother showed it to me on Youtube some time last week and I'm afraid I haven't fully come out of my hating-twilight-means-way-more-to-me-than-it-should faze. I almost immediately went back into my old habit of questioning all of the obvious plotholes in the series. The fact that Edward can just get up and walk around during the daytime without sparkling for instance.
There are several times (in the first movie alone) where we clearly see him out in broad daylight. My boyfriend maintains that its supposed to be 'overcast' but I call bullshit. Daytime is daytime. How cloudy does it need to be before the 'cullen family' decides to go outside. Is there a sparkle meter they can consult to see how much cloud cover is enough for them to leave the house? And what happens if they go out, and the weather clears up before they get home? I seriously doubt that they can run that fast. Ugh!-must'nt...over analyze! >.< And then I drifted off into thinking how funny it would be if Edward had to walk around with a very wide-brimmed floppy hat. Conspicuous? Meh, not as much as being covered in body glitter.
So, like many of the other twi-haters out there, I'm still not sure if I'm excited or terrified by the fact that they've actually made this thing. This was the movie that many people were convinced could not (or at the very least should not) come out. What with the explicit, gory scene of Bella giving birth and the weird (sexual?) relationship between Jacob and their child, the underlying messages to young tweens to ignore your friends and family if you find 'true' love, get married straight out of high school, etc, etc. Yeah, it's not for kids, its certainly not for adults, and hopefully the number of teens who go see it will drop after the first weekend.
Oh, and according to the entertainment 'news' on TV part of the movie takes place (or was at least filmed) somewhere in Brazil. The honeymoon probably, since apparently all we need to know about the story is what happens when they get married and start their own family. And by family, I mean Van Helsingesque clump of demonic vamp-baby pods. Good luck with that by the way. Because its not like its ever sunny in BRAZIL. Oh well, Bella probably chose the destination. Maybe Edward'll have his big floppy hat ready. They could pick up a sombrero on the way down there.

We're now going to train you to wear bras...
I've decided that being a technically unemployed and then officially unemployed hermit who can't trick more than 3 friends to come out with me at a time can't be good for more mental capabilities, but I'll get into that later. Maybe.
As such, I've decided to start up a blog as a writing exersize, at least to prove to myself that i can keep up stringing coherent thoughts together. It'll mostly just be a completely honest, however stupid recording of thoughts, which I havent actually done in about four years now, so I'll probably just dive right in and talk about several unrelated things a day. But not every day. Or maybe it will be somtimes. I donno. Here I go:
1) I like my first generation iPod nano. It has buttons, and i like buttons. Anyway, while listing to it recently in my moms new rental car I realized why i didn't really like that new lady gaga song 'born this way'. It's not because it actually does sound too much like madonna's express yourself, which it does, but the fact that everyone kept talking about that immedeatly after it came out (meaning when i first heard of it) causing me to actually take interest and listen to then back to back on youtube. Completely unbiased by the way, since i had never heard the madonna song either. The problem was that since it was officially her first act of copycating music and not just image I ended up comparing them and found the Gaga version pretty boring and low engergy in comparison. Here's the thing about Gaga song's, you know they're good if they make you feel like dancing, regardless of you being a big dancer or not. So while I sat in the fancy kia listening to poker face and wishing i was somewhere most suited to a dance party I realised the express yourself really truly worked as a dance song whereas the born this way didn't. Even though it really wanted to. You can tell.
