Breaking Dawn Movie Info

First, click here for some info from the producer of the Twilight movies about the Breaking Dawn installment of the series. Second, consider the possibility of any of these three directors being responsible for directing Breaking Dawn!

I definitely have some concerns about this movie. It was hard for me to get on board with the book because of Renesmee, but after reading all the books, I was okay with it. I'm just not sure if the movie is going to do it justice or be totally cheesy. That's why it's so important for the director to be good. If you're interested in reading the plot of the book/movie, then click the link above. Then consider which director you think would be best. I'm kinda leaning toward Gus Van Sant.

Cable or Satellite??

For any of you out there with TimeWarner Cable, you may have realized that just last week, they dropped the CW from their channel lineup. I am a big CW fan, regularly watching One Tree Hill, Life Unexpected, Gossip Girl, 90210 and Vampire Diaries! I was not happy with this new development, to say the very least. So since our cable bill is really expensive anyway, Lewis is letting me look into prices and things to get satellite tv and DSL internet because it may end up being cheaper. He refuses satellite internet because he plays online games and doesn't want to risk it going out during a storm.

So here's my questions...

Dishnetwork or Directv? What do you think of them? What's the difference? And does anybody have Windstream?? I've heard awful things about Windstream - not about the service, but about having one bill amount for a couple of months and then they jack it up by a lot after like 3 months. Has this happened to anyone? Because right now these are my only options. But the problem is, we have 2 HD DVR boxes, all the HD channels, Showtime and HBO, so I'm not sure if we can get the same services for less money with satellite tv plus Windstream phone/DSL internet.

What do you think??

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Trailer!

My initial thoughts:
Edward's eyes still look stupid.
Bella's hair went from being nicer looking in New Moon to being fly-away dry looking in this.
I'm never going to really love the way they put these books into movies.
I'm still interested in seeing it.

How to Waste Time on the Internet

Isis is taking really good naps today. My house is clean. I have nothing to do. So what am I doing? Why, wasting time on the Internet, of course!! Here's what I've found so far...

It Made My Day
-Lots of little posts by people detailing something that happened that made their day. Surprisingly entertaining!

WTF Comcast
-Movie descriptions from Comcast. My favorite had to do with a girl possibly smashing her homey (again). LOL

Ubulu
-This is probably my favorite so far!! It's like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon except with anybody you can think of!! You have to try it. It's fabulous!!!

OneSentence
-Stories in one sentence.

Live-Twitter

I've decided I'd rather live-Twitter the Oscars. My thoughts are short & sweet & I don't have to post pictures.

Ingenue Perspective Twitter

Zac Efron!!

I have just seen Zac Efron on the red carpet at the Academy Awards!!! Yay!!! So cute!

I need to find pictures!!!

Here we go...

Walk me through it, Ryan Seacrest!! I'm ready for the red carpet stuff on E!! Ryan & Giuliana are my favorites! I'm watching it on DVR. I'm 15 minutes behind right now.

Fergie was Sally Brown!

I'm watching the Countdown to the 2010 Academy Awards on E! and I've already learned lots of new things about fashion, skincare, etc. But the most interesting thing I learned was that Fergie...


was the voice of Sally Brown when she was 10 years old!!

I think that's neat! haha

Big Bang Theory: Leonard Nimoy

This is me & Lewis' favorite scene of Big Bang Theory so far!! We loved it!!!!

Oscars 2010

I am SOOOO excited about the Oscars tomorrow night!! I spent the day today preparing for my party!! I bought the stuff for my swag bags, the prizes for my games, the stuff for my cupcakes & the stuff for my drinks! I got the decorations last week!! I've been trying to figure out my award predictions, but it's hard this year since I haven't seen many of the movies! I have to just go by what I've heard! I'm going to print out a list of the things the movies have won so far so that the people playing my ballot game will have an idea! I'm very excited!!!

Have you made your Oscar predictions yet??

Also - I plan on live-blogging the Oscars tomorrow night!! Or at least live-blogging as I watch them, which might be on DVR...haven't decided yet. We'll see how the party goes!!

American Idol...

Is anyone else severely disappointed in American Idol this season?? I am just really not happy with it! Last week was just awful. I actually liked Andrew Garcia, even though the judges didn't really. But this week, I just don't like anybody! We'll see how the girls go tonight, but it's really not fun to watch it this year.

Etsy

Lou & Lee Headband

I have recently discovered that there are several places on Etsy that I really like! I bought Isis some headbands from Hairblooms, I like the adult headbands at Lou and Lee and I've gotten some recycled scrabble necklaces from HomeStudio. I've never really spent a lot of time looking around on Etsy, though. After starting to read Dear Baby, I've been motivated! She finds such cute things for her daughter on Etsy! I need to start spending some more time on there!

What stores do you like on Etsy?? Give me some suggestions!!!

Water for Elephants

Looks like I need to start reading Water for Elephants! I've had the book sitting next to my bed for months, but haven't read it yet! Now it's going to be a movie with Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon & Christoph Waltz! I will start reading it ASAP!!

The Big Bang Theory

My dad brought over his first 2 seasons of The Big Bang Theory! It is my new favorite thing!! In the first 3 episodes of Season 1, I laughed so hard!! I'm on episode 6 or 7 right now and I still love it!! I'm making Lewis watch them with me now! Sheldon is my favorite!!!

Third Annual Oscar Party!!!

I've been making preparations for my Oscar Party!! This year, I will have Oscar themed drinks & more games & prizes!! I found Oscar Bingo!! I'm very excited!!!

I haven't been able to see all the movies this year, but I'm still looking into who is predicted to win in each category. But really, I just enjoy the experience & having my friends over to watch the show!!

The Supporting People

I've been watching a bunch of movies lately & have you ever noticed that these 2 people are in like every movie?? They're never the main part, but they're always there - best friend or random bad guy. I love it!

Breaking Dawn in 2 Movies

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows started it...now Breaking Dawn will be split into 2 movies as well. I kinda find that weird and not necessary. Maybe I need to read the book again and figure out where they would split it. I dunno, what do you think??

Staying Home...TV & Movies Galore!!

I'm staying home with a baby for the time being & since I've got things all up to date around my house & it takes me all of like 15 minutes to clean & start a load of dishes or laundry every day - AND because my baby is only 6 weeks old & therefore still sleeps a LOT, I have quite a bit of time at home to myself lately. I've been watching TV & movies, of course. What else would I be doing? Have you read my blog before? So here are some recommendations I have for those of you who may be interested in watching some shows!

First of all, Vampire Diaries is so awesome! It's even better after Christmas than it was before!! I love it so much! I was so surprised at first by how much I liked it, but now I've just settled into total fandom. It comes on Thursdays at 8 on the CW. And speaking of the CW, the new series Life Unexpected has had like 4 episodes so far and it's definitely one of my new favorites! The story is interesting & I like the actors! I've been excited & a little emotional at the end of every episode because it's so cute!

Cougar Town is another one that I just love! I laugh out loud at every episode! I watched Dirt because I tend to watch anything that the Friends cast is in now, but Dirt wasn't that awesome and it was canceled after 2 seasons. But Cougar Town is so funny!! I love it!

Those are the shows that have stuck out so far. I've been watching movies like Can't Hardly Wait, Twilight, Charlie Bartlett (LOVED this one!), Tristan & Isolde and The Sound of Music! I've got 17 Again set to DVR on Saturday when it plays on HBO! I've also got all the Olympics set to DVR next week! I'm excited about watching them! All kinds of TV & movies in my life right now, but honestly I'd love to go hang out with some other moms or people! But it's snowy & I'm stuck inside. Ah well, me & Isis are having fun!!

P.S. - I need Lexie & Sloan to get back together on Grey's Anatomy. I do not like this crap that's going on right now.

Print Your Blog!!!

Blog2Print

This is maybe the coolest thing I've found in so long!! You can have your blog printed like a book!! I want to do it!! Of course, I'd have to do it in volumes because this one has so many posts, but I really want to do it for my mom blog!!

Check it out!!!

SAG Awards 2010

There were several things I really enjoyed about the SAG Awards this year! I loved Betty White receiving the Lifetime Achievement award! Her acceptance speech was so great! She's such a wonderful woman and she's so funny! I also loved Sandra Bullock's acceptance speech where she talked about how hot her husband is! I love them! I also love it that Michael C. Hall is finally getting recognized for his work in Dexter! And watching the awards cemented Lewis & my decision to start watching 30 Rock. Drew Barrymore was so sweet when she won for Grey Gardens. I was really happy that she's finally stepped out into something more serious and did a really fabulous job in it!
