Burn, my glittery friend. Burn!

Am I the only one who is over the whole Twilight saga?  I'm so tired of seeing Bella, Edward and even Jacob (whom I loved so dearly in the beginning).  I no longer find the stories entertaining or thrilling or anything.  Now, all I can think about when it comes to those movies is how much I'm annoyed with how the vampires glitter and their eyes define who (or really, what) they are (and what they eat, for that matter).  If I could rewrite the story I'd make it so the first time Edward showed Bella his glittering-self he would quickly catch on fire and only be saved when Jacob (in wolf form), who happened to be running in the woods at that exact moment, saved the woods from the fire by peeing on Edward's burning body.  The vampire clan would then leave the town out of shame and sadness.  Jacob would become just as he once was and then he and Bella could have a semi-healthy relationship which would end when they both decided that the other wasn't actually good enough for them.  The end.  Of course, my story would never become a plague that would spread through the world infecting women's (and some men's) minds, turning them into zombie-like beings who honestly believe that Edward is out there, somewhere, just waiting for them to find him.

My other little Twilight-inspired pet peeve is that fact that it's not only still going but Stephenie Meyer is still adding books to it.  After the 4 main books came out she HAD to write something from Edwards perspective.  I didn't read it so I don't know for sure but I think it's more like a diary type thing.  And now she's done it again with another book starring some newbie vampire (who I don't actually remember reading about at all) and her short life as a vampire.  (Apparently she was killed shortly after being introduced in the world of glitter and blood.)  My only question is...why?  I guess she's kind of like George Lucas in that way.  The way that when things start to get slow (and money is starting to dry up) you come up with another way to bring your masterpiece back to life.  (Yes..I'm talking about my other pet peeve...the cause of death (in my opinion) of the wonderful 'Star Wars' trilogy. Why, oh why, did you have to allow episode 1,2 and 3 to come to light?)

I'm also very tired of watching the same movie again.  Has all creativity dried up?  It's like everyone is thinking, "Well, I can't think of anything awesome so here's my idea: Let's make a remake/prequel/sequel/revamp of a movie that was released at least 10 years ago and it should probably include a horror icon (ie. Jason and Freddy)."  Woo-hoo!  Let's go make a movie!  It's seems pretty darn easy.

Well, that's enough of that.  Moving on.

My dentist appointment went well.  I'm all healed and ready to go for round 2.  The next round will include the removal of 4 teeth.  The downer is that it'll be a month in between the visits.  I was hoping to have them closer together.  I'll have to ask about that the next time I go in.

I'm still working on the wedding but the more I plan the less excited I get.  Is that normal?  Think about it and then let me know what you think.  Toodles for now, people.
