wow, i'm updating before midnite!

dude, amen for it being friday!

as predicted, i encountered hellish traffic on my way to brooklyn -- and on my way home too. on the way there, some ridiculous fucking truck dumped bricks all over the BQE... making a normally awful road positively nightmarish. and, on the way home, it was typical friday afternoon escape from the city traffic.

so, by the time i got home i had a massive headache... which i haven't been able to shake.

on top of that, the idiotic neighbors are at it again with the goddamn fireworks so my dog has been on the verge of seizure for the past couple of hours. fun stuff! when he's nervous, he scratches things wildly... anything and everything... it's horrible to listen to... especially when you have a headache.

so, that's about it.

i think i might try to relax by doing a bit of doll work tonite. there's at least one, if not more, blythe that i've done some customizing to in the past that i might like to make changes to...

now, on the the rest of the nuttiness ---

today was a major day on the light of twi... as my friend christina said... it truly is like a soap opera with the friday cliffhanger... ! lol.

you'll remember, yesterday afternoon, paps caught rob driving off from kristen's house in a porsche...

that brings us to last night (thursday night)

rob's friend bobby was playing in LA and moon, from letters to twilight, spotted kristen and rob
at the show... they left just before bobby finished and hopped in a cab with rob's other friend, marcus foster.

here's a grainy (but unmistakable) shot she took of them hopping into the cab...


that cab took them to the chateau marmont hotel where kristen apparently spent the night in rob's room... according to the folks at radar online.

and, for those who require photographic evidence... here are photos of kristen leaving chateau marmont today... you can see that she's wearing the same clothes she wore to the concert the night before...





none of this is really shocking to me... there's been enough "robsten" evidence for me for months now... the post-VMA photos really were the smoking gun...

i think anyone who still disputed their togetherness after that is just in some sort of denial!

beyond that, i don't think they particularly care that people know... but, at the same time, they're just not the kind of people who are going to sit down and do a happy go lucky interview about it either.

so, good for them.

i honestly don't care either way about them being together... it's not something i sat around hoping for... lol. but, i will say that i think they seem well suited to each other and i think that each could do a lot worse!

as someone who (obviously) has a bit of a rob fixation, i'd most certainly prefer to see him with someone real and unpretentious like kristen rather than say an attention whoring socialite.

while on the subject of rob, after kristen's departure this afternoon, he was spotted getting a bite to eat on the patio at chateau marmont...



and........... for everyone wondering where the hell kristen's ex michael angarano has been all these months... he (quite coincidentally!) resurfaced yesterday as well... out on the town with a mystery brunette! and, i say, good for him. no use sitting around pining over kstew when she's obviously moved on!


through the grapevine, rachelle was apparently also hanging out at chateau marmont last night... though, it does not appear that she was hanging out with kristen and/or rob... (in all likelihood, she had no idea they were there!)

so, while we're on the subject of rachelle, let's take a look at more from the september 09 issue of glamour.





the ladies of twilight look awesome here -- i think.

the one you don't recognize is noot (who is the former model playing vampire heidi in italy)


i watched a pretty great (if already somewhat dated) documentary last night...

NO END IN SIGHT

*****/*****



i'm just about as politically left leaning as possible, so watching stuff like this horrifies me beyond belief.

basically, this is a rundown of the massive bush fuckup in iraq

literally from the get go through his last days in office, every move that administration made with respect to "operation iraqi freedom" was a bumbling fucked up mess.

the documentary interviews countless former advisors who detail one error in judgement after another.

some of the most shocking

-- we had virtually no arab speaking military officials over there

-- the bush administration never had any plan to protect infrastructure in iraq beyond their oil resources

-- the bush administration "dismissed" thousands upon thousands of trained (and armed!) iraqi military personnel without a second thought... creating intense anti-american sentiment and putting all these men on the street with their livelihoods taken away...

a third grader could've figured out that the results were going to be catastrophic.

anyway, i'd been meaning to watch this doc for years now... and, of course, with obama in office, some of this info is already a bit dated...

at the time the movie came out, there really was "no end in sight"

and... hopefully... that's changing.

i guess only time will tell if we provided any service whatsoever to the people of iraq...

hmmmmm... that's a cheery way to start the weekend... no?



okay, as of right now, i think that's all from me.

i'm actually seeing rob's friend sam bradley sing in NYC tomorrow night... so, should have some photos of that for you on sunday!

and, of course, the coming days should prove eventful with the teen choice awards on sunday and the arrival of the (supposedly full cast) in vancouver on monday for more preproduction work on eclipse.

:-)

have a wonderful and relaxing weekend folks!

m

another eventful day

so, i'm still having trouble figuring out how to balance the blog between my own personal rants about life and the twilight stuff which i feel compelled to discuss...

having this trouble just makes me angry at flickr all over again for making my life so much harder... hopefully i'll figure it all out soon enough. (and, once again, if this is my biggest problem in life............ lol)

ANYWAY... quick rundown on my day --

  • twitter epic fail (really fucking annoying. and, as of now, still not working 100% for me!) people with nothing better to do than fuck with websites should just kill themselves and save the rest of the world a headache
  • phone appointment with military academy (thrilling!)
  • diego gets a haircut (yay - he was starting to smell!)
  • trip to the gynecologist (ugh!)
  • nap (much needed)
  • grocery shopping (bought not 1 but 2 copies of $9.95 special rob issue of teenybopper mag!)

let's see if any of that needs elaborating on...

oh, first of all, i get to the doctor, and i take a seat, and i come eye to eye with a bunch of birth announcements... you know, various babies they've delivered recently...

and, the first one i read, the child is named "emmett"... i refuse to believe that the parents just thought this name up on their own... oy vey.

well, i do have to say that in addition to my overall hate for visits to the gyno, i think my doctor is particularly annoying. i like her well enough i guess... i've been going to her for roughly 16 years now... probably since the day she became a doctor since she isn't much older than me... but, she's always running ridiculously late. and, i don't know why, b/c my actual face (or not so much face) time with her is usually all of 3 minutes (just how i like it!).

so, yeah, i waited about 20 minutes past my appointment time in the waiting room... and then i waited ANOTHER 20 minutes sitting on a fucking table wearing a paper gown. fun times.

oh well, at least it's overwith for another 6 months...

anyway, this is a good segway...

apparently kristen stewart was at another medical building today... (unless i'm wrong and it was some other kind of building... though, i could swear someone said it was a medical building... don't hold me to that tho... and, don't start any rumors based on my info!)

anyway, yeah, so, they're making a whole fucking lot of money, but life does suck for these poor people... check out this video below of a gagillion paps following her around today (that's her mom in the truck with her)






a few more pix...




now... before you start feeling too bad for kristen... here's the more interesting news of the day...

paps caught rob driving a crazy ass porsche around LA... if you believe the paps (which one should never do) he was coming from kstew's house when the photos below were taken...



glad to see he's still rocking the yankees cap... i guess he doesn't hold too much of a grudge against NYC...

my own personal assumption is that the car is a rental... he had that silver rental this spring... and, it doesn't make any sense at all that he'd have actually gone and bought a porsche when he's only in LA for like 5 days and won't really be anywhere on a permanent basis for... oh, maybe years, to come...

so, good for him for getting a fun car to drive for 5 days... even if i couldnt' have identified this as a porsche if you paid me to!

hmmmmm... maybe the crazier robsten supporters can read something into the fact that the porsche is very close in color to the truck.... could it be a sign?

meanwhile, other things were happening in the land of twi up north in vancouver...

here are two additional shots of nikki and taylor from wednesday...





and some shots of additional cast members from a wednesday evening group dinner...

i will say that, much as kellan does nothing for me, he looks much much better with dark hair.

i still hate bryce. her hair is far too red for her pale ass face.




and, someone needs to give rob a break for a second with the dirtiness and focus on the fact that jackson rathbone could also stand to make the acquaintance of a bar of soap...



and, a bar of soap and issues of cleanliness are ANOTHER excellent segway.

you MUST check out this fabtastic entry over on robsessed -- along with the help of twitter's fakerparis, they have compiled a series of photographs detailing the long and varied history of the dirty and distintegrating trousers rob was spotted in at LAX earlier in the week.

The Mystery of the Blue/Gray Pants

let's just say that they date back to 2005... so, yep, definitely check out the link.

now, i'm perfectly willing to accept that rob would like to drive around in a fancy car but have dirty clothes and hair... boys are like that.

what i have trouble grasping is that he is mending his own clothes...

i mean, can we all pause for a moment and try to create a mental picture of him sitting down with a needle and thread?

if you look at the repair work, it's certainly NOT the work of a mom... not that he's even seen his for more than 5 minutes in the past two years...

i don't know, i really can't wrap my mind around it... lol. he'd prefer to sew than to whip out the amex and place a few orders online.......?

it's fine by me... it's just incredibly confuzzling...




but, then, i think part of his allure for all of us is that he's anything but typical...



and, yet, there's more...

ashley is featured in sept issue of glamour magazine... and looking quite good!




and nikki and kellan on the streets of van on thursday...

(from twilight gossip -- see here for more)

and, one quick movie review... which is actually somewhat twilight related...

THE WEDDING WEEKEND

***/*****



i feel like i've seen this same low budget indie movie over and over and over... college friends reunite for a weekend and compare and contrast how their lives have turned out...

they have mid-life crises that somehow come to a nice neat conclusion by sunday afternoon...

anyway, this movie initially caught my eye b/c david harbour is in it. he does a lot of theater in ny and has always been one of my favorites. (earlier this year he had a nice featured role in 'revolutionary road')

oh, and did i mention that all the men are friends b/c they performed together in an acapella group? so, there's some singing too! lol.

anyway, the film wasn't awful... just far from monumental.

oh, and it's twilight related b/c elizabeth reaser is also in the movie...

---------------

i leave you with this children.... a photo that's been circulating the web which has given me no shortage of chuckles...

i have to credit my friend christine, yankeegirl51680 on twitter, for bringing the photo to my attention...



okay kids, i hope you had a pleasant thursday...

my friday involves a drive to brooklyn for a work meeting... pray to god that the BQE (brooklyn queens expressway) is kind to me... but, who are we kidding... it's one of the worst fucking roads in the country... so, pray that i make it home alive (i'm a bad driver... so, most days, that's all i'm aiming for... )

:-)
