Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Oh, my god, ita. Watching Colin play vampire baseball would have had me in tears.

Ahahaahahahaha!

Tho, watching him in the (to quote Cleolinda) the revival of the Interview With A Vampire scene in the second movie would have been comedy GOLD.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am not sure Kristen Stewart has any range, but I think she is terribly convincing as a repressed teenager.

I agree bon. She's a far more interesting Bella than the one in the book, but that could just be the lack of internal monologue: "Oh no! Look I just aged another day. A whole 'nother day! I'm so old now. Oh look, there's Edward! He's so perfect. I love it when he lurks outside my house like that."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Peter Facinelli is way too young, and uh, brunet, to convincingly play a blond father of (four)?

But he's not their real father. He just plays one in Forks as a cover.

I know. He's not convincing as someone who would try to persuade someone else that he is the father of teens.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

John Yoo, of Bush Administration Justice Department "torture memo" fame, is on Stewart. Yep. He's a weasely fuck.

I don't see the full interview on the website yet. I'm looking forward to it.

Our wings are not tired.

My uncle Dave and his girlfriend and I got together Saturday night to celebrate a late Christmas. I got Dave, who is a rabid Buffy fan, that Cafe Press shirt that reads "Then Buffy Slayed Edward. The End." He smiled big and thanked me but half an hour later I asked if he knew who Edward was. He didn't. I explained and when he looked sheepish, I said it was kind of perfect that he didn't know who Edward was, since that kind of proves the whole notion of the t-shirt.

I got his girlfriend who just graduated with an MLS this t-shirt, which she loved.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sarah Palin to Join Fox News Network

Although that made me throw up in my mouth a little, it's actually a perfect place for her, because she'll never have to be bothered with any of those pesky little...what do you call them? Oh, FACTS.

Between Sarah Palin joining Fox, and Mark McGwire admitting to use steroids, I read that yesterday should be declared National "No Shit?" day.
