Kristin Stewart can't act

That is, unless the director of the movie told her to say every one of her lines with as little emotion as possible, even the lines where you're really really upset.  In that case, she can totally act.  She should get an Oscar.

Yes, we saw New Moon Friday night.  I'm a grown woman and I've read all four books and I don't care who knows it. 

Guess what my totally wonderful fabulous husband did?  We were chatting on gmail and I was telling him that I was really bummed that I didn't have a New Moon t-shirt to wear to the movie - I even blogged about it, that's how lame I am.  Well, he went and got me one!!!!!  How awesome is that!  He wasn't home when I got there but my t-shirt was!


I was cheesing like a weirdo because I couldn't get over how sweet Drew was!  And those are my ass jeans that I must once again hang in the back of the closet.  At least I got one day.


Drew's werewolf impression.  We're going to go ahead and leave it to Jacob, mmmkay?

We knew the theater would be crazy but it was suuuuuuuper crazy.  They had been showing the movie every hour since 10am so there were little tweens running around everywhere.  The theater was packed and randomly little girls would scream out "I LOVE YOU EDWARD" or "TEAM JACOB!!!"  That may have been me.

All the little girls started screaming when the lights went down and I was going to be really annoyed if they screamed through the whole movie, but when it actually started you could have heard a pin drop.  I think they were all holding their breath for the entire film.  Now, of course when Jacob took off his shirt for the first time, they all went nuts.  Not me though.  There was absolutely no uncontrollable giggling on my part.  Nope - no fanning my face, no punch in the ribs from my husband.  None of that.

Now, I know that this film is not an example of cinematic brilliance but damn!  Seriously, Kristin Stewart cannot act!  Even by my generous tween-movie-standards.  She's really bad!!  There was no emotion in her eyes, zero.  I don't think she made eye contact with any of her co-stars; all her lines were delivered somewhere in the vicinity of the other person's chest or their left shoe.  That part was unbearable.

The wolves were awesome though!  I wanted a whole movie of just them!  The fight scene between Edward and the Volturi was kind of cool too, but then DeadEyes Stewart had to come in and mess it up.  It's like she got attacked with Botox right before filming. 

It was a fun experience, but being in the movie theater with all those little kids made me feel kind of old.  I was glad when our friend Tyler called us after the movie to join him and his girlfriend for drinks.  I needed some adult activity after all that.

I'm still totally Team Jacob.  At least he showed some emotion - hot-blooded wolves are all about emotion.  And being shirtless - that's why wolves are better.

    Thanks for all the wonderful things you said, they were so nice and totally made my day :)

    About the blog design, I did it myself, by trial and error. Believe me, I had no previous experience with HTML design, so i thought it would be tough, but i started with a standard blogger layout, and by picking out elements I liked online (the stripes are a photo of some fabric from an online fabric store, the dots were the result of a google search for "green dots") and assembling them by trial and error in the blogger HTML editor, making a header in Paint (a free photoshop alternative) and with a little help from some HTML savvy friends to deal with layout (header position and adding the third column), I managed to put together a pretty snazzy layout :) If you need any specific suggestions or help, let me know! there are also some very cute site that offer free layouts:

When you leave me a comment, my phone chimes. I run to it from across the house, anxious to read what you've said. I save them in my email and read them multiple times a day, which is why you may not get an immediate response but I promise I eventually respond to every comment that has an email address.

You make me smile - I just thought you should know.
