At the movies

We saw I Love You, Man this weekend. It started out slow, but ended up being very sweet. Paul Rudd is a cutie. But what I was really excited about were the previews - so many awesome movies coming out in the next few months! X-Men Origins on May 1, Star Trek on May 8, Terminator Salvation on May 21, and the sixth Harry Potter on July 17. Star Trek especially gave me the chills, particularly when they showed Spock (hey there, Sylar!)

Twilight Tuesday

First, I found the Twilight script. I am ecstatic. There were some changes in the actual movie, but a lot of it is the same. Second, there is so much New Moon production news to report this week. Here's Taylor Lautner filming the triple date scenes at a bowling alley (when Bella, Jacob, and Mike Newton went out on their defective date and they all got sick). Jacob's wig is so much better this time around than on Twilight, but he still doesn't scream "leading man" to me. This dude is supposed to tide me over until Edward's reappearance? Yeah, right. But then this! The arrival of the Forks High School posse - Jessica, Eric Yorkie, Mike Newton, and Angela Weber. This had me so excited that I couldn't chillax. Lastly, who needs a Snuggie when you can have this instead?

A cardinal

Look who paid a visit among the rapidly pinkening blossoms. I've never actually seen a cardinal this close before. There were two of them, chirping as loudly as you please, with Moxie hanging out on the windowsill, riveted, watching and waiting to pounce. I love spring.

Live model

My friend Victoria gave me permission to post pictures of her at the three New Orleans balls she attended for Mardi Gras this past February. She's wearing the necklace and matching earrings I custom made for her. Doesn't she look fabulous?

Blossoms

The cherry blossoms reached their peak today. They look like bunches of fluffy white cotton balls perched on top of the tree.

A geeky conversation

Upon hearing the news that Peter Facinelli is going to be at Dragon Con this year, I immediately IM'd Mr Hazel. The ensuing conversation turned out to be so funny that I'm reproducing an edited version below.

me: can we go to Dragon Con? the guy who plays Carlisle in Twilight will be there.

him: ...

me: i want to go to Dragon Con!

him: to see some stupid actor for 30 seconds?

me: well, and other things

him: alright

you're going to be bored out of your mind

but if you want to go

me: why would i be bored?

him: what is there that would interest you at all?

it's a room full of geeks

with nerdy things

most of which you have never heard of

you'd be bored in 10 minutes

me: i like comics!

him: I don't think...you have any idea just how little interest you are going to have in the convention once you actually get there. If we go, I'm going to make you stay for 8 hours.

me: i'll stay for 8 hours

him: maybe I'm wrong

but I'm pretty sure

that after about 10 minutes

you are going to realize that you want to leave

me: i like geeks

and sci fi

and fantasy

him: there's a difference

when you are surrounded by Battlestar Galactica and Dungeons and Dragons stuff I don't want you to yell at me :)

I'm not sure you are terribly excited about the new 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons and the D20 system of combat.

me: ...

him: but maybe you can find something else there

me: Twilight

him: wrong convention
