I have been soooo neglectful of my blog; i am ashamed!!! Anyway, i was in Florida with my family for the last two weeks of August. Of course Edward HAD to come along. He chilled on the beach, relaxed on the balcony, and i even took him on the Palm Beach Princess Casino Cruise with us. My husband, Brother FC, hates all that is Twilight and Edward. I think he might be jealous... But anyway, when he drinks, he is one of the funniest people alive! For a usually unhappy and generally grumpy man, it is hilarious to witness. Anyway, I had to get some Edward shots on the cruise boat. And as i placed him gently on the table in the lounge, positioned him gingerly where he needed to be, my husband decides he needs to be in the picture as well...
Edward did not appreciate sharing the limelight, and insisted i take a better picture, without husband and sippy cup. This is the one he liked the best.
Vacation was wonderful; the weather was perfect. Maybe Edward dazzled the clouds?
Side note: Just saw the newest preview for New Moon, and dear lord Edward is so incredibly hot!!!! I need to bring a napkin to soak up the drooling i will be doing in the theater!!

Twilight Thursdays ~ Lunch with P.Edward and Cobra Commander Recruits Reinforcements
0 comments Posted by Dizzz at 6:42 AMHappy Thursday folks! It is my Twilight Day, and I have two Pocket Edward topics for the week. He is so much fun! I carry him in my pocketbook. That is right; I freely admit it!!! I think I need a safer haven for him or he may end up damaged however. Anyway back to the blog.
Last Friday, my friend Stephanie (love the name, don't you) and I decided we needed a lunch break, since we rarely eat outside of work. Yes FC, this is the friend who threw me out of the Twilight Closet at work, but I forgave her cause she is too awesome! Anyway, since we both love Chinese food, we headed over to my favorite Chinese Restaurant, Abacus. The owner is one of the nicest people, I love eating there!
Yes that is right "We are very happy together". I think it fits PE and me perfectly!!! We must have laughed for about 10 minutes before we left, surely they thought we were nuts, but oh well it was fun.Friday, July 24, 2009
OK folks, movie review time. Last night my husband and I watched for the first time a movie that we have both been DYING to see for a long while now, Burn After Reading. It featured a pretty good cast: Brad Pitt, John Malkovic, and George Clooney are key actors in the movie. The preview has been in a boatload of the movies we have purchased over the past year, so we figured it would be right up our alley. 
Let me start off with saying that after watching this in its entirety, I felt like my intelligence level must have dropped at least 10 - 20 points; it put it simply, I felt dumber. It started off really slowly, and I am not happy with the way it ended. However in retrospect, after a good night's sleep (and re watching the preview), it had its funny moments. It think the preview has every funny scene in it, so i could have just watched that last night and got a bigger laugh than I did.After seeing my summation, perhaps you will understand why I was personally vastly disappointed (my husband LOVED it). The theme around this movie seems to be paranoia, because they are all looking over their shoulders, everyone is following everyone else, etc.
SPOILER ALERT ~ SUMMARY OF MOVIE AHEAD
DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS AND WANT TO BE SURPRISED
OK, here goes. The story is about this government type, Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) who 
gets a demotion, so he quits to write his memoirs. His wife is a cold-hearted snob who is banging another married government-type, Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney) and decides she is going to divorce Ozzy and gets his "financial information" from his computer. I am thinking she must have downloaded everything on there due to what happens. The disk gets left in a women's locker room at "Hardbodies Gym", where Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand), Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt) and Ted Treffon (Richard Jenkins) work. They find the disk and keep it instead of trying to find the person who lost it at the gym.
Linda is a aging woman, searching the web for her "dream man". 
The health insurance won't pay for her "redefining herself" plastic surgery (SHOCKER). Chad and Linda decide they are going to blackmail Ozzy for this information, because it looks like "secret government shit". In the meanwhile we find out that Harry is a complete perv who is Internet dating several women and banging others besides Ozzy's wife, telling them all he "adores them baby". He and Linda hook up.
Ozzy refuses to pay for this CD and Linda decides they need to go to the Russian embassy to try to get money for the "secrets". She tells them she has more information, which is a lie, and sends Chad off to get more from Ozzy's computer. Ozzy is now living on the boat, and Harry and Katie Cox (Ozzy's wife) are at the house. Chad sneaks in while they are gone, Harry returns and as Chad surprises him from being found in the closet, Harry shoots him dead, and dumps the body in the river. Harry is really freaked out at this point and leaves Katie.
Meanwhile, Linda can't find Chad (DUH), and gets a bit freaked so she sends her boss Ted to gather the information instead. Since he is in love with her for some godawful reason, he goes. She however doesn't think he will and goes to Harry (LMAO this part was so funny), for help to find her friend. He offers to help and asks where he was last heading, and realized it is the guy he killed. Freaked out, he runs off. Ozzy returns to the house for revenge against his wife because she took all his money from his bank account. He finds Ted on his computer, shoots at him and chases him outside where he killed him with an axe.
The last scene is in a government office (there is another scene in here earlier but I'll sum up all they say in this part). Turns out these memoirs are garbage, Ozzy had low security clearance. They were following him the whole movie, and dispose of chad and Ted's bodies, send Harry off to Venezuela, and shoot Ozzy (during his killing Ted) so he is now in a Coma, all to dispose of any evidence of what happened. They pay off Linda by paying for her surgeries. THE END.
I was like WTF??? Why does this bitch get what she wants after she is the reason all these deaths (which she does not know about of course) occurred?? Are you serious??? Do you think I am being overly harsh? I mean there were some funny moments, and Brad Pitt was a freaking RIOT, I mean every time I saw him in a scene I cracked up, his character was that funny! I also left out the part about how Harry was being followed all the time as well; turns out his wife had him tailed for divorce purposes (he deserved it he was screwing around with like 4 women at one time).

Previously on TT, I discussed the battle between Pocket Edward and Cobra Commander, and of course, our sparkly prince won, hands down! http://dizzzidev.blogspot.com/2009/07/twilight-thursday-cobra-commander.html My husband swears that if Cobra was not trapped in his packaging, the outcome would have been completely different! WHATEVER HONEY!! If he wants to believe a four inch creepy looking guy could best the Adorable Undead we all know and love, that is his prerogative I suppose.
This week I want to discuss my new Twilight Obsession, Fan Fiction. Once upon a time, I was a normal and somewhat boring (ok I am boring, so what) mom, who was oblivious to the Twilight and Blogging world. My daughter tried to convert me to a Twilighter with no success; I even refused to see the damn movie when it came it. REFUSED!!! And I love vampire movies (ok not super gory ones but Lost Boys, Blade, you get the picture), so it was surprising I was adamant NO TWILIGHT! My daughter instead went with her god-mother, read all the books, and converted previously Twi-Virgin FC to the “cult”. FC then turned her wiles on me, and it was all downhill from there. First Twilight, then blogging… NOW…
Back to my newest obsession. Although I was in the Twi-Closet for a while, I openly admit my interest in these stories. I love smut!!! I read romance novels all the time, which is why I would love a Kindle, so I don’t have to have the books with the half naked people on the front SCREAMING to people around me what I am reading. Fan Fiction is great because it fulfills the same purpose; I can read it all day and no one can see what I am about on my laptop, unless they stand over my shoulder, of course. And best part is, it is free reading material. Free is always good! I eat up Free!!!!
It is amazing what people’s imaginations can come up with. They depict the Twilight characters in fascinating ways, and put them in incredibly unbelievable situations. So my question is, and although I have not done research I wonder, Who is the character that fan fiction is created around most?? My theory is of course Edward. Reasoning is simple, most of the readers I have seen reviews on these stories from are women, and who do women all love????? EDWARD!!! EDWARD and more EDWARD!!!
They make him human, dark, evil, sadistic, violent, innocent, and powerful (sometimes all in one story)!!! Am I the only one willing to come out of the Twi-Fan-Fiction closet?? I search for Edward stories, and I could honestly care less if Bella is featured. Bella, BAH!!! Now I bet I could find all the other hotties featured in some of these, but personally… I could care less. So wants again, hats off to my SIL, who has again changed my life to focus even more on Edward Cullen.
Oh and sidenote, FC your brother cut his hair, so no more messy wavy Edwardness there, Booooo!!!! I love him and all, but the day I mentioned his Robward mess, he was less than thrilled. Then the haircut. I don’t understand why… LMAO!

Thursday, July 16, 2009
Over the weekend, I realized how much my husband disliked Edward Cullen, or Twilight in general. Now mind you, his step-daughter, wife and sister (the notorious FC), are all TwiAddicts and my hubby is really not into it. Not shocking, he is a usual man, but this story is too funny not to share.
I give you the following scenario: After hearing about the numerous “Pocket Edwards” floating around the internet and gathering attention, while shopping with our son last Saturday, my husband informs me he needs a “Pocket Cobra Commander”. Honey, what did you say??? Did you really say you need a Pocket what? Um…. Why???? He explains that pocket Cobra Commander is sooooooo much cooler than Pocket Edward could ever be. Am I hearing this man correctly? Plus he could kick Pocket Edward’s ass… Double Take… WHAT?!
“I think not!” I retort. At that point, assured he was joking, I continued my “browsing”. After about 20 more minutes wandering around Target we head to checkout. As I empty my cart, low and behold…
Dear Lord, are you serious? And you though dozens of TwiHards were loosing it? Now what to do, there is a Cobra Commander (trapped in box) threatening to take over, and no Pocket Edward to protect us….
“Edward is at least 2 inches taller babe, and immortal”, I calmly remind him. “But Cobra has a M.A.R.S. Industries radical exponential nano-injector system”, he retorts…. HE HAS A WHAT?!? Ok now it is on. Cobra is Trapped in Box, hubby won’t let him out [small parts is the excuse I get, ROFL]. I think Edward would be able to take him, don't you?
“I heard you were having some trouble??? Can I be of assistance?”
Yes Edward… Please kick Cobra Commander’s rear end for me… and thank you for arriving so quickly. now I can torture people at work with my obsession, since my co-worker practically threw me out of the "Twilight Closet". Received in 3 business days, I do love Ebay… I have been having awesome luck with getting things quickly from them recently.
Look Little Evil Man….. You are small and insignificant. So tiny and angry, your weapons will do you no good. Awwwww how cute, you have a pet withyou in the box. Poisonous, you say? Me too!!! Your snake would make a nice dessert after hunting…
Now I’ll dazzle the boy… As you can see, the baby really likes him. I am having a hard time keeping him from grabbing him off of the counter, pointing at him for me to give him over. My husband looked shocked when I told him I didn't want the baby to have it, as he could harm Edward.
