So it looks like iTunes sure knew what it was doing by making Paramore’s “Decode” the only track from the Twilight soundtrack available for individual download.
When the lineup was announced a few months ago, I was pretty much ambivalent.
And then I saw the movie.
I just finished downloading the entire soundtrack. It’s definitely worth it for [...]

the heretic & the pope
I sometimes get caught up in what people I respect say about other people I know nothing about, which isn’t bad in and of itself — it’s reacting and/or forming a belief based on those statements before I can examine them for myself that can be dangerous.
I’m not going to get into differing theologies, and [...]

america’s favorite past time
I took my 11-year-old cousin, Abby, to see Twilight last night after our Thanksgiving festivities.
I seriously liked the movie even more the second time. I was able to pay attention to other nuances (in between answering Abby’s 53 questions) and I still can’t get over the Cullens. One of my favorite scenes is so incredibly [...]

true homage comes from the heart
It’s only 9:35 p.m. and I’m shut up in my bedroom with not much of an outlet, as my six- and four-year-old nieces are asleep on an air mattress in the living room.
Truthfully, I’m glad for the quiet, although I can’t get the last strains of whatever Troy and Gabriella song was playing right before [...]

green light
New Moon got the green light, which is probably the most anti-climatic anti-climactic news ever.
(Thanks to Joan of Arcadia, I will always laugh whenever I use that word.)
Anyway, taking a break from a busy day of more Veronica Mars, peanut butter M&Ms and Diet Coke to announce that Twilight accomplished the following things over the [...]

twilight
It has been a lovely weekend. I’ve done nothing but hang around in my pajamas and watch Season 2 of Veronica Mars and all the random episodes of NCIS and CSI:NY that I had stored up on my TiVo before I got rid of cable.
Also?
While nowhere near being anything resembling nutritious, a steady diet of [...]

gone, baby, gone
I never saw that movie. Is Affleck a good director?
Anyway.
So even though I no longer watch Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money or Pushing Daisies, I was still sort of surprised to hear that ABC has effectively canceled all three of them. I know ratings weren’t fabulous, but all three have received tons of critical acclaim, [...]

decode
In honor of Friday’s much-anticipated Twilight premiere, I’m bringing over the official video for the song “Decode,” written by Paramore specifically for the movie.
No, I’m not even remotely as obsessed with the series as I once was, but I’m still looking forward to the movie, even if I never muster the motivation to finish Breaking [...]

caramel macchiatos & c.s. lewis
I’m supposed to be working, but instead I’m still savoring my iced caramel macchiato.
In my opinion, it is the perfect drink on a pretty day like today — not hot by any means, but not cold enough for something hot.
I am one of the Starbucks customers that You’ve Got Mail makes fun of (and I [...]

amy poehler beyond thunderdome
It’s interesting to see how my blogging habits have changed. When I started out, it was 90% pop culture, 10% personal. And now it’s, oh, 95% personal (on my main blog), and I have to force myself to post here — and even then, it’s usually me bringing over some article from someone else.
I still [...]
