You Suck... Blood

[dotinthesky]

The housing association kindly slipped a letter through my letterbox this morning, warning me that both elevators need to be shut down all day today for maintenance work.

I live on the 11th floor. I have a plane to Brasil to catch. I have a suitcase.

The water has also been shut down. At least I took a shower yesterday after I came home from watching Twilight with Hester. I can't remember the last time I heard such bad dialogue in the cinema. And the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Make-Up 2008 goes to Twilight, for vampires that look like they are wearing badly-applied talcum powder. Other notable 2008 Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Film. Worst Actor. Worst Actress. Worst Supporting Actors. Worst Supporting Actresses. Worst Screenplay. Worst Special Effects. Worst Director. Worst Vampires. Worst Title That Has Nothing To Do With The Story In Question. Great night out, however! The entire (half-empty) cinema laughing together, talking back to the screen, giggling, actually enjoying the badness-of-it-all. Popcorn, beer, Coca Cola, and Doritos dipped in melted cheese. Countless memorable lines. Definitely a cult film; and the sequel will probably be a slicker, big budget affair, thanks to its success in America. Can I pre-book tickets already?

By this time tomorrow, I'll be at my mom's in Brasil. Their computer seems to be acting up so I don't know how often I'll be able to check LJ. I'll have to content myself with the full moon. In case you don't hear from me until after the 25th, have a very merry little Christmas! Dispel your humbugness, and let a crowd of singing munchkins into your heart (but make sure first they are dressed like Santa's little helpers). May the spirit of Dorothy fill you with joy this season.

NOOOOOO!!! I want to be Edward! Or James, the tracker vampire! *pouts*

Update: It's actually the tower block next door that has had its water and elevators shut down. But the letters were distributed here... hmmmm. I wonder if the poor buggers over there even know what's going on? I'm not complaining - my life is suddenly a little easier!

We watched it last night too. We did some serious laughing at the ridiculous parts as well. Andrew and I had super low expectations so it wasn't quite as bad as we had thought it might be. But it was still pretty bad. We loved the Pacific Northwest scenery! Also, no one looked the way we had imagined that they would look. And Edward totally looked like this kid Brandon I used to "date" when I first started grad school. He was fun, but very, very young and silly.

The first boy I was in love with also looked a bit like Edward - same hair style and strong jawline. I really loved the scenery too! And some of the songs on the soundtrack (in particular "Full Moon", by the Black Ghosts.) Ive reached that stage in life where I almost prefer watching this type of movie in the theatre than arthouse fare because of the shared experience with everyone else. I really couldnt see myself renting it and watching it alone.
