Twilight: 5/5

Dear QotD?ers,

At the theatre on Thursday night for the showing of Twilight, I counted 3 males, including Justin. At the theater on Friday afternoon for the 5:30 showing of New Moon, there were many more males: husbands, dads, boyfriends, even brothers (poor guys). I spent the first movie rolling my eyes and giggling a lot at the absurd plot (mostly how it was acted, poorly IMO). The second movie was much better and it was delightful to hear the full theater reacting to certain scenes. For those who have seen it: staunching blood with a freshly removed t-shirt. the gasps and cat-calls! hilarious! also: the very last scene.

We will be spending this week getting ready for Thanksgiving, which we are hosting this year.

One of the most dramatic situations of my high school years was the sophomore band trip to Orlando. There was a lot of drama around all the different friend groups that joined and split as we walked around Disney or Universal Studios. crushes were revealed and spurned, ex-boyfriends were in the mix. I was riding rollercoasters (turned out ok!). I rode the Tower of Terror, a falling elevator ride (turned out horrible!)

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What is worse than sparkling vampires?

Comcast. Particularly, Comcast internet service and customer service. That's why this is coming to you this morning instead of last night. I DID'T HAVE THE INTERNET last night! Comcast did not appologize or even try to fix it, though they did try to bribe Justin with more cable channels. It's Craptastic! (this is one of my links that you should really, really click on) I don't know why we continue to torture ourselves. We should switch to AT&T.

Love,
The Asker

Twilight: 4/5

Dear QotD?ers,

We are going to a movie tonight! As we get out, we'll see all the girls in town who will be taking vacation or 'suddenly' falling sick tomorrow. I'll let you know if there are any boys in the crowd.
my shirt explanation: twilight is the time of the evening when it's not dark and still a little light.. grey! new moon is when the moon is completely enshadowed, leaving a dark sky... black! It's lame, but i'm going with it.

There are a few famous Kristen's. other than the lame-o that has the lead part in the Twilight saga, there's Kristen Wigg of SNL! (she's my favorite famous Kristen) and the lady alien in Third Rock from the Sun was a Kristen too.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What is the most drama filled experience from your teenage years?

Twilight: 3/5

Dear QotD?ers,

Today was a better day at work. hooray!

As I told Jackie in the comments, I was on Team Edward until book two when I turned completely to Team Jacob. But generally, I'm a fan of vampires over werewolves. Unless that werewolf is Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm definately Team Oz.

I have determined what I will be wearing to the movies this week. Behold my t-shirt choices:

get it? hilarious, right?

The 'star' of Twilight is Kristen Stewart. I'm not fond of her and the total drama teen she plays in all the movies she's in. (and she keeps showing up in movies when I least expect it! ARGG)

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What famous people share your name?

Twilight: 2/5

Dear QotD?ers,

You know those days when everything is supposed to be fine, and then 4 crisises pop-up and the solutions to each individual crisis causes complications to the other crisises? That happened to me today. But I have had dinner, showered, shaved, washed and dried my hair. And by the time I get into bed, Justin will have turned the electric blanket on so it will be warm and cozy.

I have read all 4 of the Twilight books. In addition, I've read the part of the 'draft' of the companion novel that was leaked onto the internet. (the first book, from the vampire's perspective). I have seen the movie, and drug Justin to the theater with me. I will be doing it again this week! The first movie is playing Thursday night at 9 (for just $5!) and then we'll see New Moon on Friday afterwork. This is how prepared I am:


I will be eating popcorn and rolling my eyes at the DRAMA the entire time.
Yesterday I mentioned that the Twilight story involved a girl falling in love with a vampire. I'm going to spoil something for you: the girls best friend turns out to be a werewolf. I beleive that will be the only spoiler I spoil for those of you who are concerned with that. Other Twilight fans, try to keep spoiling to a minimum, you know, just in case they all want to read the books because it's the most popular for teen girls ever.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

.

Team Edward or Team Jacob?

or, more generally

Vampires or Werewolves?

.

This is the part of the post where I make member announcements. Sabrina's birthday was Sunday and I missed it! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SABRINA!

Mr. SuperHappySunshineSmiles* is joining us as Dr. Fandango's nemesis. I believe we shall enjoy his optimism.

Love,

The Asker

* Mr. SuperHappySunshineSmiles may be Anne's 2/3 (just as Dr. Fandango is 1/3). While wise for his age, this pre-teen will be the youngest active QotD?er. Make sure to keep it clean and friendly or I will threaten you with the DELETE button

Twilight: 1/5

Dear QotD?ers,

You've read the title and either you are excited or disgusted. Please put those emotions on hold while we get through some other business.

Look at this pretty lady and the shinyness you can almost see on her right ring finger:

(IT'S JACKIE!)

The bump that I heard was something falling in the closet. I wasn't sure what it was, because when I checked, I didn't see anything down. I assume it was so embarassed it jumped back on its shelf.

OK, now on to Twilight. I have a love/hate relationship with Twilight that you will learn about over the course of the week. There are 4 books, and the 2nd movie is being released this weekend. It's about a girl that moves to Washington and falls in love with a vampire. there is DRAMA. We are not here to argue about the merit of the plot or storytelling. Keep in mind that I'll be asking 5 questions, so you may get ahead of yourself with your lengthy answers that's ok

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Have you read or seen any of the Twilight Saga books or movies?

Loooove,

The Asker

really vague

Dear QotD?ers,

Wow, that's the best response in a while! GO RAINBOWS! I have taken the opportunity to find some itnernet videos of songs mentioned in the comments.
Origional Rainbow Connection, w/ Kermit. w/ Willie Nelson (music doesn't start until 2 minutes in), w/ Jason Mraz. They Might Be Giants Roy G. Biv. The song I learned in kindergarten, Sing a Rainbow. Oh, Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Reading Rainbow theme song!

Tomorrow I'm going to Aggieland to help Jackie and her boyfriend celebrate getting their Aggie Rings (Whoop!). (Yes, her boyfriend is my brother, but that's what the younger one gets for not participating) There's also some sort of giant new ring statue that I'll have to get pictures with. And maybe I'll jump in a fountain for good measure. I mean, it'll only be 70°, right?

Today's Question of the Day? is:

~BUMP~ WHAT WAS THAT!?

Love,
The Asker

P.S. Who remembers "Tee hee! I'm a girl!" ?

the lovers, the dreamers and me

Dear QotD?ers,

We had a full evening last night so QotD? was delayed until this morning. It was my brother-in-law's birthday and family met up in downtown Houston for dinner at Maggiano's. I had 11 different kinds of food and am STILL feeling full. It was a lot of fun, except for the live entertainment. At first I thought it was kareoke night, since surely no one would get paid to sing that bad. But I was mistaken. It was that bad. It so awful I didn't even enjoy making fun of it.

Yesterday was Veteran's Day. Thank you to all the Vetrans and those currently serving! There are no active QotD?ers with military experience (the legal, United States kind, Dr. Fandango) but there are relatives. So the husbands of Jeannie, Jessi and Angel-A and the son-in-law of Aunt Barbara: Thank you! Is there anyone else close to a QotD?er that we can recognize?

There is war a'brewin in the comments section. To keep things from getting out of hand I've brought in Quiggly Orin The Duck and the Army of Helmeted Ducks to keep everyone safe.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

Love,
The Asker
