He's a sweetie, really.

Oh, and I downloaded this *excellent* sci fi channel radio play of his "History of the Devil" play it was so funny and good.

It was a torrent file, impossible to find except on p2p.

I don't know, it's infuriating.

I spent like over $20 on just two audiobooks recently, it's absurd.

I rarely use them but while I was sick I was too tired to read.

**Io Zeno** · 12-08-2008, 12:21 PM

btw, it isn't narrated by Clive Barker, I don't know why it says that, it's a play with several actors doing the voices. Satan on trail, heh.

I borrowed tons from the Chicago library when I used to have a long commute - that's really the best place to get'em (the library I mean). I guess part of the reason why is each book is at least 5-6 disks... but it still sucks!

I think our library now has audio books online - if only I could concentrate on work and listen to books at the same time

Oh, that would be convenient. The library books online I mean, not working and listening.

And not even that. There was a disturbing lack of feeding going on. These vampires aren't just "vegetarian," they're apparently anorexic, too.

Eh.

Kill and I went. I had fun - but then, I wasn't expecting to be wowed by the majesty of it all or anything. Plus, we went to a theater that had a gourmet restaurant in the balcony level and it's just hard to be overly critical when you're sated with pasta with vodka sauce, Mediterranean appetizers and popcorn served in a real bowl. And, I mean, I was with Kill, fer chrissake.

I recently took my 11-year-old daughter to see the film. I expected little and was rewarded with such.

When she asked me what I thought about it, I said that I could appreciate just how well it was crafted to appeal to tween girls. In the context of the film, vampirism is clearly a proxy for budding sexuality. Quoth my daughter: "Yeah, I have a crush on him but have no idea what to do about it". Might as well get bitten sensually, I guess.

Asher Bertrand · 12-08-2008, 04:05 PM

... she'll figure it out soon, if she hasn't already.

Richie Waves · 12-08-2008, 05:51 PM

I liked it... was a bit OTT at times but all in all I kept watching, sountracks pretty cool too.

**Mabb Dilweg** · 12-11-2008, 05:58 AM

Ok as I've said before, I liked the book... not a page turner and yes, slow as a wet week but there was a lil something in it that kept me reading on. I have the next book but I'm done I think... anyways, my daughter who is trying to convince me to see the movie with her (and PAY for it!) sent me this link which made me lol so much I had to share:

If I could review "Twilight" (the book) in three letters, they would be "WTF"

Asher Bertrand · 12-11-2008, 06:04 AM

Bahahah!!! I love that review!

Quote:

OH OH OH... and the bestest part of all: The reason vampires can't go out in the sun? Because they're sparkly. Yes, sparkly. REALLY. I'm going to extrapolate from this that they also ride unicorns and crap gumdrops.

Quote:

I gasped as Edward unzipped his gorgeous, godlike pants, revealing his smooth, white, marble cock. He glared at me with his burning topaz eyes as my fingertips brushed his cold, sparkling, granite dick. My heartbeat quickened. My breath caught. I didn't deserve this. How could I, clumsy, ordinary, plain, clumsy Bella Swan who was only asked to the dance by 3 different lovestruck boys, be so close to a cock so gorgeous, scintillating and godlike? It was like the pale marble cock of Adonis.

In a quick, graceful motion, Edward turned and glared at me. "Don't you see Bella?" he said as he held me in his strong grasp and dry-humped my thigh with annoyance, "I'm a danger to you! You should have nothing to do with me! Every moment you're risking your life!"

"Edward" I gasped "I love you. I will love you forever!" I was in agony thinking of losing him and never again touching his pale, white, cold, gorgeous, sparkling, marble, granite, dazzling, godlike, scintillating Adonis cock. How would I live? He was my life.

He glared at me again with his dazzling, golden eyes and told me with his gorgeous, pale lips "There's something I haven't told you. Something else about my kind."

"What Edward?" I asked breathlessly, "I will love you no matter what. Forever."

He brushed his cold, gorgeous, marble lips close to my clumsy, ordinary ears and whispered "We..."

"What, Edward? I love you. Forever. You can tell me anything."

He gave me his crooked grin and said, "We ejaculate rainbows."

I'm still laughing

I was just about to paste the same bit. I can't breathe yet.

Asher Bertrand · 12-11-2008, 12:56 PM

I'm shamelessly bumping this because MORE PEOPLE NEED TO READ THAT REVIEW. Srsly. "Dry-humped my leg with annoyance." Annoyance!

Oh and if you like Twilight parodies, shinga rules all.

shinga: Twilight! 1

Nephilaine Protagonist · 12-11-2008, 03:57 PM

Ok, I took my daughter to see it. It was fluff. I could have spent that two hours in both better and worse ways, I guess.
The sparkling bit was LOL.

I agree the relationship between Bella and Edward was...creepy. We were barely out of the theater before I started the "being stalked is not like that in RL" conversation.

(Edit: in the context that stalking and the tone of their whole relationship in general is in reality toxic. Just 'cause that wasn't clear above.)

Natalie P. · 12-11-2008, 04:11 PM

My favorite Twilight review. Just the right mix of snark and affection.

From that review comes this quote:

Quote:

Edward in the sunlight was shocking. I couldn't get used to it, though I'd been staring at him all afternoon. His skin, white despite the faint flush from yesterday's hunting trip, literally sparkled, like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface. He lay perfectly still in the grass, his shirt open over his sculpted, incandescent chest, his scintillating arms bare. His glistening, pale lavender lids were shut, though of course he didn't sleep. A perfect statue, carved in some unknown stone, smooth like marble, glittering like crystal.

Oh my god. Oh. My. God.

That's real? The book's actually written like that? My god. I didn't think writing like that actually existed -- not outside of parody, anyway.

Twilight means never having to say you're kidding.
