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!
Edward had to come along, of course! He was a gentleman as always, and offered to pour some soy sauce on our food for us. So sweet! He stood there patiently waiting for the humans to chat and enjoy their wonton soups, and indulge in some Sesame Chicken/Governor's Chicken, Egg Rolls and Fortune Cookies. The restaurant staff was very polite, and did not once complain about the picture taking and giggling we were doing. The owner stopped by once and looked at Edward, but he must have dazzled him for "Joe" just asked how our food was and shook his head as he walked away.
At the end of the meal, as we ate our cookies, we reviewed our fortunes (yes I ate my cookie first ~ I was very hungry people!). Stephie's said something along the lines of "You are appreciated by your current company", well DUH!!! Of course Edward and I appreciate you Steph!! You are our work buddy! I gasped aloud as i read my fortune, Edward and I find it quite appropriate. I will show you a picture to share...
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.For the second half of the blog I wanted to warn the Pocket Edward versus Cobra Commander followers to know that Cobra Commander has recruited G.I. Joe's Pocket Snake Eyes to his cause for Pocket domination. This angers me for Snake Eyes should be on Edward's side (he is a good guy) but whatev! my husband has this adversary also trapped in his packaging, so i do not think Edward will have much trouble with them, do you???? To be continued...

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…
The latest obsession my SIL has yanked me into is fan fiction. Whereas I used to have time on my hands, all spare time now (which is limited) is spent finding interesting smut to satisfy my previously unsatisfied PG Twi-fantasies. Hey don’t hate on me, there is some really good fan fiction out there! It adds a small amount of fictional excitement to my otherwise dull, drab life (ok i am exaggerating my life is not that bad).
I actually think my FIL used to read this stuff, cause my husband used to say his dad read "smut" on the internet all day... Never knew how that was possible until now, lol. I really miss my father-in-law, he was my buddy. He got me into the show Charmed, GOD I LOVED THAT SHOW, and Walker Texas Ranger, and Computer Shows. So I guess I know where my SIL got the habit of addicting me to stuff from, and I appreciate it. Luv U Sis!
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!

After doing my usual perusal of any new New Moon stills, info, updates, i found on http://www.newmoonmovie.org/ this great HD close-up of a new movie still that was released, and i noticed some funny stuff I wanted to quickly share you all. The picture, shows Alice, Jacob and Bella in Bella's living room. I don't know if this is during actual filming, but i guess we'll find out when the movie comes out. 
Ok the first thing I notice here (yes I am an organizational nut-job) is the mess on the coffee table. That is right ladies, i don't first look at sexy jail-bait Jacob or the fact that Alice's hair is really flat (where are those cute pixie spikes??) but that the coffee table is a cluttered mess. At least there is no cigarettes in the ashtray, LMAO.
After a close look at that table, yep still focused on the table, next to the ashtray are two things that I swear we have at home somewhere. First is that little wooden box with a lighthouse on it. (FC doesn't mom have this exact box at home?) I am almost 100% sure we have it. Mom loves lighthouses. Next is the television controller. Go ahead and roll your eyes... I also think my daughter has a hairbrush just like that one, but i am not 100% on that one.
So what does this mean? Nothing really, just a funny thing to throw into a Wednesday blog since i haven't updated since last Thursday, with my Twilight Thursday's ~ Cobra Commander v.s. Edward blog. Shouldn't I wait to post this tomorrow? Probably but I already have my TT Blog for tomorrow mostly written, so what the hell! We'll post it for giggles today!
~~~Post Blog Note ~~~ I ran home at lunch to see if i was correct; this is what I found... Ok I admit I was disappointed; they are not exactly the same thing are they? Oh well it was really funny running around the house looking for these items, and it gave me something fun to blog about on hump day!!!

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…So who do you think the victor was????
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.

FC recently posted a blog about senior jail-baiters, which I much enjoyed. However there was one key hottie missing from her list, my mouth dropped in astonishment. NO Julian McMahon??? WTF??? How in the world can you forget Cole/ChristianTroy/Dr. Doom??? I mean look at the man! At 41 years old, I personally can't imagine anyone not thinking he is completely drool-worthy. As Cole, he dazzled us as the witch-loving demon who could never seem to loose his evil edge. Once they banished his butt to the astral plane, he emerged again as Dr. Christian Troy, the sexy but talented plastic surgeon. Grab me a napkin ... or better yet a whole box!!! Australian borne, Julian has been steaming up the big/small screen since 1989.
Before debuting in the USA, Julian played roles in several Australian shows/movies. He had roles in The Power, The Passion and Home & Away (Australian Soap Opera) prior to 1992, when he finally hit the US screens. Isn't he adorable? This shot is a promo picture for the Home & Away show that he starred in. That chippy looks so happy, but then again who wouldn't??? It was actors that looked like this that caused my soap opera crazy from the age of like 7 (yep I was allowed to watch that slop by my babysitter when I was a wee child in first grade peeps!
In 1992, he had a recurring role on Another World, where he played the character of Ian Rain. I bet I have seen him on the show and never thought twice about it at the time (yes yes I used to be a Soap Opera freak). Another World was not a favorite, but I know I turned it on a time or two. They are all the same drama, just with different hotties starring. Ok I am not being fair here. I did have quite a few favorite soaps, but this is not the forum for that discussion... Back to Julian.
From 1996 - 2000, Julian starred in Profiler (show) and four movies which I know absolutely zero about, so i will not mention anything but their names: Profiler, Wet & Wild Summer, Magenta, In Quiet Night, and Chasing Sleep. Then in 2000, he became an object of my personal focus in Charmed, where he played Cole Turner/Belthazar, DA/demon who is tasked with killing the Charmed Ones and instead, falls in love with one of them. Steamy...sexy.... GOD I love that show during those 3 seasons.
After leaving Charmed, he became the TV plastic surgeon Dr. Christian Troy, and as far as I know he is still on that show (does it still air?). I wouldn't know personally because as dreamy as he is, a show involving cutting open people and such ... well BLECK, and no thank you.
From a big screen perspective, his most notable appearances are as Dr. Victor Von Doom, in the 2 Fantastic Four Movies. Absolutely yummy!!! What was that invisible girl thinking? You prefer rubber man over the master of metal???? Ummmm let's truly think of the dynamic of that ... hehehehe.... sucks for you Jessica Alba.
This man has it all ladies, sexy voice, great body, and nice to look at besides. On a parting note, I will leave you from a picture from The Advocate, who had an interview with Julian in 2006. Ummmmmmm yeah.......

As anyone who peruses my blog knows (which is probably only my SIL), I had an impulse buy last week, resulting in my acquisition of the Limited Edition Twilight Jewelry Set, pictured below.
The use of this item was to be decorative only, however a request was made by a co-worker, for me to wear some of these replicas so she could gauge the "cheeziness". After gasping in horror over the terminology used to describe my treasure, I decided to honor her request and show off some of my new Cullen Crest items today at work.
Come 6 am this morning however I was cursing in anger due to the fact that my "jewels" and i wear not comparitable sized, in other words my neck is too fat to wear the necklaces properly. UGH!!! Carlisle's ring (size 10) ~ way too big! Grrrrrrr.... after eyeballing the wrist band of Edward/Emmett/Jasper and deciding hell no, my other other chance is Esme's bracelet. But will it fit my bulky wrist, i ponder.
Shockingly enough I really dig this bracelet. And since most people at work won't know what this is unless they are as sick and twisted about Twilight as I am, i may just have to add it to my regular wardrobe. Hehe... I wonder if my wrist will turn green...
