Meh

I'm *so* over R&K now.

Attention span of a hyper 3 year old me.

They're cute. Friends, couple, engaged, moving in, meh. They seem like normal, none attention craving, human beings so good luck to them.

Tra la laa

Above pic is a building I used to live round the corner from. We happened to drive past it a few weeks back so I stuck the cam out the window and it actually took - go figure. You know if I had planned it it wouldn't have worked, but stick a dollop of 'spur of the moment-ness' to the situation and ta-dah! A somewhat in focus photo. The building used to fascninate me, I'm not sure why, I've always had a thang for brickwork. Show me an old waterworks factory and there may be drool - I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Is there a reason why photos of my childhood 'places' seem to fit my memory that much more when I stick a vintage wash over them? Is it because that's what photos from the 80's look like? Do my parents remember their childhood in black and white? Hmm...I shall have to ask...

Taking it has given me the urge to visit some of the places I went to/remember from when I was little though. For example, the shops I used to live round the corner from are going to be knocked down at some point soon - not sure when exactly, but would love to get some photos before it's all changed. The old library's already gone, one of my primary school's been knocked down (yeah, I switched when I moved) I wonder if I can get mum to take me out on a trip down memory lane?...

Anyhoo, In other news -

Went to see Harry Potter yesterday, it was very good *but* I was really looking forward to the ending, as in the book, and it,well, wasn't...of course 'the event' happened (no spoilers children) but, yeah, I thought it was a smidge lack lustre. Can see what some of the reveiwers meant about focusing too much on the love stuff. I'm sure if they cut down on some of those lingering, heartbroken stares they could have added some action somewhere else. Plus, they didn't exactly do much in the way of building up Harry & Ginny. One scene he dosn't seem bothered at all that she's seeing whats-his-face and the next Hermione's all 'It's so obvious you love her!' Is it!?!? Hermione was all heartbroken about 'Won-won' but Harry really didn't seem in the slightest bit affected...

On the plus side - *loved* all the bits with Draco. Tom Felton is such a good actor, I'm glad he's getting the chance to prove there's more to him than the snivelling bully.

I'm actually happy the last book will be split into 2 movies - so much was cut out of this film. All the mystery and suspense about the half blood prince, all the budding romance, so much of it was cut out it just didn't make any sense. I can understand the focus on the horcruxes as that will take us into the next movies nicely, but they completely chose the wrong other bits to focus on and it didn't really make much sense.

As I said, too much focus on trivial spits and spots, and the actual plot got lost in translation. Kinda like my review. I think I repeated myself several times. Ahh well.

Until next time...

Alright, I'll admit it

I *may* be getting a touch obsessed with the whole R&K are they aren't they phenomenon.

It all takes me back a few years to the whole Britney and Justin saga - remember that?! Months and months of speculation and denial. Something along the lines of -

Are they?!

Aren't they?!

Oh my god, are they?!?!

They are! They said it!

I love them!

They're so cute!

Ok, I'm getting kinda bored with them now...

Oh look, they split up.

Wonder if Rob/Kristen will get all pissy and write a bunch of crappy emo 'totally not based on my ex' songs?

Not that I'm saying they'll split.

Not that I'm saying they're a couple.

Latest - somebody on the casts wife (I'm gonna go with Peter can't-pronounce-or-even-spell-his-last-name as I think he's the only one that's married) said that Rob is dating someone on set, she just can't say who or she'll be told off by hubby. Um, yeah, cos I'm sure just saying that will go down well. He he. So funny. Now all we need is someone to have a public freak out about a photo or comment and the web will melt down. I'm thinking the studio may have to suck it up and let people either damn well confirm or deny soon or this is just going to end up getting insane.

Personally I'm still hoping for the secretly gay thang. I mean, she said a co-star, she didn't specify female. *come on Rob & Kellan/Jackson/...ok, not Taylor, I think he's illegal in US...umm...who else...one of the humans...oh whatever*

Or, you know, maybe the whole Kristen thing is a ruse, and while he is interested in the ladies he's actually secretly married to...say...the one who plays Jessica? Oo, or the one who plays Esme, I'm sure I read somewhere he likes the older lady, was this a hint? I don't think she's married...

Ahh. Bugger, Stupid conspiracy theories got me started now.

Oh, just so you know, I am aware that the above pic isn't R&K (I'm not insane) I just thought it was cute. Twas an outtake from EW I believe, found on a KS fan site - I keep looking for pics to draw, even though I still haven't finished the first one (!)

Ahh Bella and Jacob...poor little (!) Taylor. Just think, if it wasn't for all this 'chemistry' flying around the place maybe he could have joined the dating rumours bandwagon - Taysten has a certain ring to it, no? (stupid stupid name mergers...)

Ok, I'll try and add some 'real life' so no-one thinks I'm completely insane. Although I keep addressing this as though people are actually reading so that may do it on the insanity scale - talking to myself and all...

We may, or may not, lose our internet on Sunday. In theory we shouldn't, and I'll admit I feel a bit more comfortable with a confirmation letter from Virgin saying it won't be until the 6th that they'll cut us off, but I'm still not sure how Sky are going to work it that they give us the TV and not cut off the net. Maybe there are more cables round the back of the TV than I realise. But yeah...a month without the net? As it is, with luck on our side and no disconnect this weekend I'm still probably looking at a week, but yeah...I think I'll be watching a whole bunch of movies that week as TV atm both sucks and blows.

Though with the shiny new customer package we're getting 3 months of movie channels so that may be alright - movies look pretty good atm, no doubt they won't be next week...mm...I think we got the TV guide here somewhere, maybe I'll check that out...

Huh, if you ever wanted an insight into my brain, that may have been it - I totally went on auto pilot with that bit...strange...

Ooh - talking about films I need to sirt out my lovefilm account.

And my bank - something very strange happened earlier and I'm a *fraction* bit worried about hacking but I won't be able to tell anything until tomorrow - I really wish they'd put transaction details up a bit quicker. The problem may just be a debit of £40 that should have come out on the 6th but didn't register until yesterday, or maybe it's my math skills (or lack thereof) but I somehow ended up with a -£4.50 in my available balance, and I don't have an overdraft so that shouldn't actually be possible...

I seem to remember once that they did things in the wrong order on the statement and although money went in before it went out on the statement it went out first and said I was -£20 or something. Hmm...

Like I said, I wish they'd have the transaction details up a bit quicker, you know?

Ah well, it's not the account I keep my money in, just enough for Lovefilm and a bit extra for the odd book/film splurge, so it wouldn't be like they could take much, though that minus worries me as it clearly says no overdraft...

Ahh, I can't worry about this now. Nothing you can do at 10.45pm! I'll panic tomorrow instead - fingers crossed for updated transaction details!!!

TTFN!xxx

Well...mmm...

(photo credit to whoever that logo was on the corner - I got it off somewhere who got it off someone else...i dunno...I didn't take it! Pity pity...)

I gotta say, of all the screwing up they did with the Twilight movie, they did do a prettyful job with the casting...All the girls looked pretty damn good too (jealousy rules) but for some reason they don't appear to be as well documented. Wonder why?...

Er, yeah, anyways. I have no idea what in the heck went on with the awards (which I found out earlier is the teen choice - giant surfboards as prizes...only in America...) but apparently the vamps won 11 out of 12 and the internet didn't die from over use so I'm gonna guess my vision of yesterday didn't come true. Damn. Woulda been hella funny.

Anyhoo, onto other things...
So. I'm trying to move my music onto my yummy new iPod aaand my laptop decides it won't let me as my harddrive is now full. Now I know for a fact it's lying as it's split/partitioned and there's still 50GB still floating around. (that and the fact that if it was in fact full I wouldn't be able to open up the programs). SO a quick lookie-loo around and it turns out you have to move things over manually. Well...what!? Shouldn't the comp be all 'oh, no more room on the C drive, better send it over to the D drive instead!' But no, apparently as annoyingly smart as they can be on occasion, taking over and doing junk you don't want, on this one you're on your own.
Still, it was 'fun' shifting my photos and music over. Then getting iTunes to recognise that yes, the music is still there, just somewhere else...fixing broken shortcuts...urgh. You ever wonder sometimes if it's worth the bother?

Umm...yeah...anyway, I think I better go as there are some odd noises coming from the kitchen which sound somewhat like mum baking her own birthday cake...sigh...I *said I'd do it after lunch! No faith these people...
xx

mm, blogger cut off Jackson R. and the photo credit which is...Mr Pattinson.com. so there you go.

Did you know you can find Herons in trees?

Yeah, me neither. Though apparently, according to my dad, it's common knowledge. Gold star if you can spot it!

So, not having the ability to do all that much this week, I've been surfing the net (as one does in these situations). And it's been hilarious! I started off by checking out some of the New Moon clips again because of the sheer hysteria of them - 'oh my god, my heart my heart!' all he did was take his bloody top off! And from the sounds of her voice she could prob be his mother. For shame.

Well, yes, while checking all this out I made a discovery - Robsten! (Oh dear lord I wish they would stop merging names, remember Bennifer #1? That all went beautifully didn't it.) Yeah, anyway, there's this section of (quite scary) tweenies and gay guys who are absolutely obsessed and completely convinced that Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are in love. Ahh. Sweet if they are, but that isn't the point. These people are *convinced*. As in, do not even mention anything that may possibly prove otherwise or they will hunt you down.
I feel pretty sorry for R & K really, I mean, either they are in love or they're just friends but they can't even hang out and have lunch without the press being pretty much in their laps. They must have a lot of patience. I think I would have snapped and punched at least one of them out by now.
Anyhoo, all the obsessives are getting a bit twitchy as they've been 'spotted' (hounded, hunted, stalked...leave them alone!!) hanging out on and off a fair bit this week and general consensus is they're gearing up for a big announcement. Hmm...
They have an award show on...today? Yesterday? And of course Twilight are nominated in every category inc. Best couple or best kiss. Now - here is what I *really* want to happen -

They win (of course - it's Twilight) best kiss (or whatever it is) and they go up to accept and they're supposed to reinact it (maybe that's just MTV? ok, say the audience are chanting kiss, kiss, kiss) and Rob's all 'Oh I dunno, kiss Kristen? What would your boyfriend say?' And she's all 'Oh, Michael?' (or whoever - insert random dudes name here)
And the audience is like

.....

WTF!?!?!?!?

That would be so bloody funny. I'd pay to see that. Ooo - OR maybe she could ask him about *his* boyfriend!? Yeah, that's better than my other idea. I'd pay double for that. The internet would break down with all the sobbing broken hearted tweenies, and all the excited gay guys who will now take over all the stalking duties.

Of course maybe they'll just accept awards and the world will carry on as normal. I do wish they'd put all the poor tweenies out of their misery either way though. General theory is it's the studio that's 'stopping' them admitting it (not the fact that they may not actually be a couple, heaven forbid) and it won't all come out until after New Moon's finished promoting. I dunno.
I don't actually care either way, despite what this post may suggest (!) but I do wish the press would back the hell off them. I have seen a few of the videos ( I now refuse to watch anymore) and it's like a swarm all over taxis, cams through windows, how people don't get hurt is amazing.
I've always been in the camp of 'you know what you're siging up for when you become a celebrity' but I never in a million years thought it was *that* bad. I know a lot of them ask for it but I'm fairly certain a whole bunch (inc. them) don't. I mean, are they the same when said celeb has a child in their arms!? God, no wonder some of them snap and hit them/smash cams etc..
Disgusting way to make a living.

Wow, that was quite a long ramble. This is the only safe place I can do it though - attack of the tweenies is never a fun thing...
Well, yeah, anyway...here's to R&K and his wonderful coming out party! ;o)
