A year later

So it's been a year since I started this blog. I did pretty well.....for about 8 months. Then not so much. I am now 27 and still in relatively the same place. What has happened since my last update? Not a whole lot - but lets make a list, shall we?

• I started going out for breakfast with people I work with. We tend to go the Friday after payday, so about every two weeks. It's been interesting. I tend to laugh a lot.
• I finally watched "Twilight". Specifically, I watched the first half pretty well, laughing occasionally at bits that reminded me of this SNL "Twilight" parody:
• I watched "New Moon". It turns out I am on Team Jacob and actually enjoyed the werewolves more than the vampires. It wasn't the best movie ever but I was distracted by other things (see: werewolves).
• A friend found this video which I think is hilarious and falls in line with my obsession with vampires:
  See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.
• "How I Met Your Mother" made an episode called Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap which was awesome just for the name alone.
• The Saskatchewan Roughriders made it to the Grey Cup. They were winning most of the game until the last 10 seconds when they lost because there were too many players on the field during a field goal attempt which gave them a penalty. It was quite devastating.

It's been an interesting year. I am happy I did the blog but I am disappointed that I couldn't keep up with it. I may continue updating it if something awesome happens but that may not happen.

Thanks for reading!!!!

Maybe it's because I haven't read Twilight yet....

So I stumbled across a video the other day that pitted Buffy up against Edward Cullen of "Twilight" fame. Basically, it mixed scenes from all seven scenes from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" against certain scenes from "Twilight" as well as one scene from the 4th Harry Potter movie (it took me awhile but I figured out which scene it was). Edward Cullen doesn't fair too well in the video, being that Buffy is a vampire slayer and all. It was quite entertaining, especially for the Buffy fan that I am. I don't if many "Twilight" fans will enjoy it so much. Aside from the obvious colour changes between the "Buffy" and "Twilight scenes", the video was quite well edited. Anyway, here it is:

So today's favourite thing is the Buffy vs Edward video by Rebellious Pixels.

"I don't trust you. You're a vampire. Or is that an offensive term? Should I say 'undead American'?"

I read a lot of books. They tend to be of the romantic variety. A few years ago, there were barely any books about vampires. Now, it seems like every second book has some vampirical element. It's madness, I tell you, madness. There are a few series of books about vampires that I enjoy but for every series I enjoy, there are at least ten more I have no desire to read. It seems like each series also has its own vampire mythology. Mixing of series will end up in mind-bottling circumstances (I read a series where slayers were bad/ Vamps were good and then I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer soon after -- DID NOT COMPUTE*) I will admit that recently I bought "Twilight" to see what the hype was about. I haven't actually read more than a few pages in it yet, we'll see. I was going to just borrow it from the library, but I was 423rd on the waiting list and that just seemed absurd. I think I might just watch the movie and be done with it. I also tried getting into the Sookie Stackhouse series. I ended up renting the TV series instead ("True Blood") which has been quite enjoyable so far. I am on episode 7 now. I am hoping to actually get into the books soon, although it may be after I have watched all of season one (apparently season one encompasses most of the first book). So anyway, today's favourite thing is certain TV/ book series about vampires.

* I should also mention that I watched "Buffy" and "Angel" while I was watching "Bones" and it was really hard for me to separate David Boreanaz's characters of ANGEL and BOOTH in the two shows. Over the course of a couple episodes of "Bones", BOOTH a) refused to break down a door because it would hurt his shoulder (ANGEL always seemed to enter a room by breaking down a door) and b) got quite seriously shot - to the point where people believed it when he faked his own death (I was convinced that his vampirical healing powers would save him.....they may as well have --he was out and about in the next episode which was only set a couple weeks later)
