Werewolf Karate

It's been way too long and I apologize. I try to check the news as much as possible, but I feel like I've been living under a rock for a little bit. Kind of sucks. I will definitely have some updates next weekend though. I promise. In the mean time, am I alone in thinking that it's odd to see Taylor Lautner in previews for a real movie? I kind of expected Twilight to be done and for him to go away and never be seen again, but that's clearly not happening. His new movie is Abduction, which looks like a major action flick. I feel like he looks a little young. Action movies like this tend to have the older Indiana Jones type guys so he kind of looks like he put on daddy's suit and it's too big for him, but apparently he does a lot of his own stunts so maybe he will be good. He's a cute kid and his female followers will probably swarm the theatres for this so I'm sure the movie will do just fine. I guess we will have to wait and see. I have no desire to see the movie though.

Oh my God, I have to see this!

Florida Shore

Season 2 of the Jersey Shore starts again tonight and it leaves me incredibly confused. The number one reason: I thought this show was going to be similar to the Real World where they would switch out cast members each season, but that's not the case. They are bringing the exact same cast back, but this time they're putting them in Florida instead of Jersey. And that brings me my second point of confusion: If the cast will now be in Florida, why is the show still called Jersey Shore? It's just weird to me. Did you know these kids get paid $30,000 per episode to be on this damn show? I wanna cause drama on a show and make a yearly salary in one hour. That's not fair.

KROQ had the cast on the radio this morning and they were talking about how they can't go anywhere without people hounding them. One of the guys, the one that calls himself "The Situation" said they have to close down malls when they want to go shopping. That's gross. He never did anything in his life, but have a 6 pack and sleep with chicks and now he's famous. That kind of makes him sound like a porn star... Either way, shows like this make me so sad. I worked hard to get to where I am and then Joe Schmo comes in and steps all over me just by being on a reality TV show.

I will admit I watched the first couple episodes of the show when it first started because people were going ape shit over it and I needed to know what was going on. The show never appealed to me though. Watching a bunch of spoiled, conceited kids try to get some ass is not interesting to me at all. I would rather watch a Twilight movie.

Bite Me

Oh those vampires. They go in and out of style all the time. I remember being the kid obsessed with vampires. I used to watch the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer religiously. It was so ridiculous and then when the show came out, I was glued to the TV. Now vampires are trendy and it makes me sad. Vampires shouldn’t be trendy. Trends fade. Vampires don’t fade. Make them stop being so trendy! I hate that everyone and their mom now has a book out about vampires and their love lives and falling in love with mortals and blah blah. Then the writers say “so and so stole my work.” Um, if you write about vampires falling in love with mortals, all stories are going to be the same somewhere along the line. I do have to admit that I enjoy the fact that I have more vampire books to choose from now even if they are all about the same thing. There weren’t enough before and thanks to Twilight there are way too many. Makes searching Amazon fun.

I have read the first 2 Twilight books and have yet to get into the third. I think the second was so depressing and reading the third is just too hard. I have two more vampire books sitting on my shelf waiting to be read.

The first is called Sunshine by Robin McKinley, which is basically the retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but with vampires. I read the first chapter on her website and loved it so I had to get it.

The second book is a collection of 4 books from a vampire series written by a 14 year old girl. How crazy is that?!? The series is called Den of Shadows and there are 5 installments. The series is about a vampire who learns the secrets behind her becoming a vampire because she travels back in time. At least that’s what the first book is about. I assume the series follows that… I am very curious about this one. How many 14 year olds do you know with a book series?
