I am a vampire...and I have lost my fangs!

So...I know it has been a long time since I have updated. Sorry. I'll try to be better.

I am becoming increasingly frustrated. What is the source of this frustration, you ask? Well, let me tell you. We are now less than five months away from the theatrical release of Twilight: Eclipse and we have yet to have a teaser trailer. What's worse is that Summit has only released a single still from the film. No stills, no posters, no trailers...what is a Twilight news follower to do?

Let me give you a bit of information on why this might bother me so much. For Twilight: New Moon, Summit released the teaser trailer six month prior to its release, and it was actually a pretty good teaser...as in it was over a minute long. Summit also released the first official poster for Twilight: New Moon six months before it came out. Obviously, Summit is way overdue for some new fun stuff for Twilight: Eclipse. My patience is running out.

In other news, this year I decided to try and follow a television show. For those of you who know me, you know that I hate watching weekly television. It is too frustrating. The show takes random weeks off or goes away for over a month (on hiatus). Or you will fall in love with a show only for them to wait until the last minute to cancel it, leaving the entire series with a cliff-hanger ending. Then when you email the network to tell them how rude that is, they send a generic "We are too busy to respond," response so you don't watch that network again...ever (or at least 4 years and counting). Yeah, obviously this has happened to me.

I should say it isn't ALWAYS the network's fault, sometimes life gets in the way. Like you have to chaperon a dance for junior high schoolers, or you have parent teacher conferences, you know...the usual, that cause you to miss the show on the assigned night. Or your internal clock sucks and every Thursday your mind goes, "Bing! It's Thursday!" Then you look at the clock only to find out that it is 8:05, 5 minutes after your show ENDS! Yeah, that has happened to me the last three weeks.

Clearly, not the best at following a weekly television show, though I must say that the internet has made it easier. Unfortunately for me my show of choice is on the CW which waits about 5 days before posting the show. Oh well, at least I get to see it before I watch the next weeks (on the internet five days late because I forgot again). Haha.

I was weary to tell people what show I have become hooked on for fear of over generalizations being made about me, but since I haven't missed an episode this season, I figure I am an official fan and might as well make it known.

I am watching The Vampire Diaries on CW. Now since I have a semi-obsession with Twilight (primarily because of my appreciation of the books and beautiful Robert Pattinson), I worry that people will think I am obsessed with all things vampire...and that is simply not the case. I suppose the reason I have been into vampires as of late is because there have been major changes in the genre. Instead of taking, taking, taking, these new vampires give and refrain. I guess I am an old mushy romantic. I like the idea of a guy waiting hundreds of years to find one girl to love. These vampires are major protectors and are always around shielding and loving. I don't know...I must have some deep rooted desire to be adored and worshiped by a man that makes this concept appeal to me. Regardless...it does. I know that if I ever met one of these such creatures in real life I should run as fast as possible, but I like it in theory.

So here's to Summit releasing a trailer for Eclipse and for the universe to align for me to be able to watch The Vampire Diaries (though that won't be happening this week as I have to...you guessed...chaperon a dance).

  1. Brianne - so fun to read your blog! I had no idea you were in love with Robert Pattinson. He is not at all attractive to me. Nothing like I imagined Edward would look like. I totally missed out on New Moon because it came out the weekend after I had Matthew. It is in the dollar theater now, so I'm thinking I better find a way to see it while I can still do so in a theater. I had no idea the next one is coming out so soon. Sounds like you are in need of a DVR! Love you!

  2. I'm starting to wonder if Summit totally hates the third film and don't know what to do. @_@

    Good post.
