I saw Eclipse. I'm not impressed.

Umm, so this scene was way hotter better than what expected it to be, but everything else was.. well.. not quite as amazing as seeing Robward with his shirt open. On a bed..

I know, I know, but seriously.. There were some MAJOR flaws in the movie which, at times, made me want to laugh out loud when there clearly was nothing to laugh about. Bella's wig. Oh my. It was even worse than Jacob's Twilight wig and Rosalie's New Moon wig combined. And puh-lease, that Rosalie and Bella scene? Wtf happened to Rosalie's heartfelt confession? It's not that Nikki Reed didn't do a great job, she did, but the whole scene just didn't play out the way I had pictured it.

There's about a thousand other minor things that I think should have been different (like longer scenes; I felt like the whole thing was just one big collage of scenes put together just to try and fit everything - every page of every chapter - into one movie. I liked it better the Twilight way - leave out some stuff to make the most important scenes more intense).

So my thoughts when I walked out of the theater? Well, I didn't hate it, I just didn't particularly like it.

As always, lots of love, PW

A looong way down.


I read a lot, just because I love to read. I also love books that are somewhat funny and have a bit of humor in them. And I love Nick Hornby. So chances are; I'm going to love his novel A Long Way Down too. I'm currently on page 30 (I bought it yesterday), and I already feel comfortable recommending it to you guys (whoever you are out there in the blogosphere). If you want to know what it's about, here's what wiki has to say:

A Long Way Down is a novel written by British author Nick Hornby, published in 2005. It is a dark comedy, playing off the themes of suicide, angst, depression and promiscuity.

The story is written in the first-person narrative from the points of view of the four main characters, Martin, Maureen, Jess and JJ. These four strangers happen to meet on the roof of a high building called Topper's House in London on New Year's Eve, each with the intent of committing suicide. Their plans for death in solitude, however, are ruined when they meet. The novel recounts their misadventures as they decide to come down from the roof alive - however temporarily that may be.

Crocodiles and Penguins.. And Snakes too.

Best friends 4evah

Remember how I told you I was going to a zoo/aquarium yesterday? I did go there, and it turns out it was quite fun, almost as fun as when I was a kid. I've always loved animals (even the dangerous, lethal kind) you see. Here are some pics I took yesterday.

Hello there!
Watching the penguins get fed never gets old..
If I wanted to.. I could eat you alive.

Love, PW

My first REAL festival!

I'm growing up, I really am. Graduation was a big deal and all, it was, but this, my first real festival, was even bigger. Almost.

This was not entirely my first musical festival, though. BUT it was the first festival where I had to live in a tent for seven days. I've learned a lot about myself so far. I'll make you a list:
1) I don't like bees much. Especially not if they're in my tent.
2) I need toilet paper to live. Almost more than I need food.
3) I love music more than I thought possible.
4) Cupcakes and chips for breakfast is only cool for the first three or four days you try it.
5) I think I'm in love with Julian Casablancas. (Yeah, not really, but he's funny. And I love The Strokes. He was amazing live, and hilarious as hell. Quotes of the day: "We're in a fucking forest!" (we were actually in a forest, it's just that he was the only one to point it out) and "So are you fucking in some tents or what?" Hehe.)
Oh, and Muse! Muse! I've seen Muse live! I was wrong when I said my life was complete after the Green Day and Joan Jett concert. Now, my life is complete. Almost. I become more complete after every concert I go to.

Happy summer time, PW

I love it when people ask ridiculously stupid questions

Remember when you were a kid, and asked anyone about absolutely anything? Yeah, I did that too. But then you grow up, right, you learn what a worm tastes like and that it's not so smart to jump out of a second story window even though you have your spider-man costume on and most people grow out of it. But not everyone.

And so who do you turn to when Mom and Dad aren't there to explain to you why the sky is blue and whether the birds and the bees ever got around to "do it", or why the fuck bleep we call it the birds and the bees anyway? Who do you turn to? Yahoo of course.

You can always trust Yahoo users to come up with a reasonable and logical answer, just like your parents did. "I think if you top them with butter pats in the shape of Mary, you'll be ok." I love this guy.

I can't wait to see the leg hitch scene, umm ECLIPSE already!



"That's a bit saaaucy." - Robward Pattinson

I'm counting the days now for June 30th. I'm still in awe of how quickly these movies seem to pop out of nowhere. It's not like it's that freakin long since New Moon came out, and then here we go again! (Not that I'm complaining of course).

Since it's really not that long till June 30th (it's 9 days! Nine!) I've decided to re-read Eclipse. Just so I'm prepared, and have every detail fresh in mind. It is, after all, over a year since I last read it.

So that's what I'm gonna do for the next few days. Read, read and read some more. Read at the beach, read before I go to bed (that's never a good idea. I tried that the first time, and I stayed up until 2 am every night all week until I was finished reading the book. And then Breaking Dawn. Surprisingly, it didn't take any longer to read BD, so I must have stayed up even longer then) and while standing in line at the grocery store. Maybe.

If you're still in doubt; I love Twilight. I've loved it ever since I read the series in 2008/2009. And that was before the movie(s) came out. I love Edward too, despite his stalkerish ways..

I know it's wrong, but... it's Edward. As in Edward Cullen. So tell me, how can that be creepy?

Love, PW
