Look What I Found

I was at Target the other day, and look what I found...

They come in packages of two, and the other notebook has the mockingjay logo on it.

I was also surprised to find these... and they were only 99 cents. :)

They only had them for New Moon and Eclipse (also found a couple packs from Hunger Games.)

And.... I got a nice deal on this from ebay...

If You Don't Read the Book...

Right now I'm reading "World War Z", a collection of fictional interviews with people after a worldwide zombie apocalypse. It's really good. So much so that I'd recommend it right now to a friend.

I've also got "Warm Bodies" lined up, ready to go. The trailer looks really cute. I know it's not going to be a "serious" zombie movie, and that's fine with me. Sort of like "Twilight" + "Walking Dead." (Speaking of WD, that's what's on the Netflix right now.)

(...I'm not really a zombie fan. But then again, I'm not really a vampire fan, either....)

Back to WWZ... I first saw the trailer sometime in the fall or so, and it looked pretty decent. Then I saw that it was a book, and I picked up said book about a week ago. However... The more I'm reading WWZ, the more I get the sinking feeling that the film isn't going to be like "Contagion."

Mom said it best: it'll be fine if you don't read the book first....

Happy New Year

Yes, I'm still here.  December was just a busy month in general.

(Wasn't that the most boring apocalypse ever?  Wonder if the ancient Mayans could be retroactively sued for... Uh, never mind. False advertising? Kidding.)

Seriously, I had a good Christmas.  It was quiet-- but very breezy.  Mom and I loved our tree; we finally dismantled it the other day.  We got a lot of usage from it.

I got some Twilight-related items, including the throw from Hot Topic with the trio.  Even the wrapping paper, strangely enough, had that "Twi" pattern.

Even though there won't be any more Twilight movies in the foreseeable future (who knows who'll try to reanimate it, ha ha. Get it?), there's a bunch of good stuff coming out this year.  First off... "Warm Bodies," which actually looks really funny. A seriously gentler, romanticized version of "Walking Dead." I know it looks like a Twilight rip off, but I don't care.  In May, we get the last Sookie Stackhouse novel ever. I'm curious to see how it ends, and looking forward to it.  And in November we get the sequel to Hunger Games: "Catching Fire."

A little bit of Twilight News... We're getting an extended version of Breaking Dawn pt. 1 in March!  Still no official news of BD2's DVD.  *Grrr*

I made those Energy Bites that have been floating around on Pinterest and the Internet.  They're actually pretty good.
