  1. Yep, Elena was nothing but self-centered in the books. I almost wondered why Stefan even liked her!
  2. She's horrible, Weave! So much better in the show. If there was no show I can't honestly say I'd want to finish the books.
  3. You hit the nail on the head, Weave! I thought the same thing about these books, and even though I'll read the next one, I'm not going to be rushing out to buy it anytime soon. Oh, and psstt it just dawned on me that I think I asked you earlier today what you were reading currently. Duh! Sorry how embarassing...
  4. Yes! I meant to say Charlie, not Billy, oops . I loved that line, Weave, he's so sweet trying to make Bella feel better, awww. I also love Jessica's gabbing after they come out of the zombie movie, she was hilarious!
  5. Just flipped the TV on and am watching the end of The Office. Vampire Diaries starts in 10 minutes!
  6. I guess I thought that I chuckled many times too though! I love the 'shut up' line, and also Emmett's 'dating an older woman' quip. Billy had some great lines, and even poor Harry and his 'the force is strong with me.' I laughed a lot more with this second film, and I think that's why I enjoyed more.
  7. Clueless!! Love that movie.
  8. BBQ chicken pizza. Boring .
  9. My best friend the Starbucks latte and a lovely mini cranberry orange scone .
  10. Yep, and oh, I keep forgetting to mention that hopefully Sam won't be sporting those capri sweatpants in the next film. Although for continuity's sake, I wonder if they made him wear them again?! They were dorky looking imo.
  11. See? We're on the same page . I've only read the first two books so far so I'm curious to see how the others are. I wonder if anyone has ever considered turning the Armstrong books into TV? Now that would be fun!
  12. The sideburns pass the test though! And luckily we have v-neck sweaters to save us from losing it over bad wigs .
  13. No, right now this show called 'Destination Truth' is on, but they are replaying the new GH episode at 10:00 .
  14. I hope you get to see it sometime, Cali! They play repeats a lot on SyFy, but otherwise the new eps are always on Wed nights at 8:00 . Tonight they were in New Jersey and some pretty creepy things happened!
  15. Thanks, Weave, and I agree he got away with a lot! I want to shake those women he had power over too . Bring on the movie sideburns!!
  16. Sure looks like Martin Sheen, huh, Weave?
  17. Excellent, Weave! I was wondering if you had read these yet . I agree about how different the books are (and pssttt I like the show better ).
  18. Ghost Hunters . This one's a repeat, but a brand new one is coming on in about 10 minutes, yea!
  19. Bel-Ami by Guy De Maupassant Young, attractive and very ambitious, Georges Duroy, known to his friends as Bel-Ami, is offered a job as a journalist on La Vie francaise and soon makes a great success of his new career. But he also comes face to face with the realities of the corrupt society in which he lives - the sleazy colleagues, the manipulative mistresses and wily financiers - and swiftly learns to become an arch-seducer, blackmailer and social climber in a world where love is only a means to an end. Written when Maupassant was at the height of his powers, "Bel-Ami" is a novel of great frankness and cynicism, but it is also infused with the sheer joy of life - depicting the scenes and characters of Paris in the belle epoque with wit, sensitivity and humanity. I had a good time reading this book, and even though I spent a lot of time grumbling about how annoying Georges was being, I spent an equal amount of time laughing too. I felt like I was transported back into Paris the way De Maupassant described Georges surroundings, and I really got a sense of just how both high society and the poorest of Paris lived at the time. Georges did everything to the fullest extent - living, working, playing and of course, loving. A great read, and of course, I'm DYING to see the movie .
  20. Oooooh nice Eclipse stills, Weave! I'm digging the v-neck and sideburns on Ed . And is it me but does it look like a Cullen jeans convention in that group pic? Quite a lot of denim there .
  21. I finished Bel-Ami last night! I'll collect my thoughts and post a review tonight . After this it's back to PP&Z.
  22. Me too, of course! Thanks for posting the info, Weave .
  23. A latte and a blueberry muffin. I needed something feel-good to eat this morning...
  24. Finally getting to finish my dinner of sauteed veggies and chicken sausage! I hate eating this late, but it couldn't be helped...
