The bats were out last night

I didn't get to bed until after three this morning. Apparently, the Walmart that Carrie and Haley went to in order to purchase the highly desired Twilight DVDs was unprepared for the fangirl masses and it was a time-consuming clusterfuck.

And while they were standing in line for sparkling vampires, I was at Haley's house watching the 1979 version of Dracula.

I don't know if AMC was honoring the release of one vampire movie by playing another vampire movie, or if it was mocking it.

Either way, I was entertained.

And Haley and Carrie brought me back a memento from their excursion. They got me Twilight dog tags. It says "Twilight" on one tag and has a silver wolf on the other. I guess they were bound and determined to get me something Twilight and this was the one thing they though I actually might like because it was the least fangirly.

Actually, the wolf tag is pretty cool looking, so I will give them some credit. They did good.

At least, it's worth all the games of sudoku I played.

I'd much rather watch the 79 version. I read the first 2 ebooks and personally, I hated them. I'm sure the author is a nice enough lady but she writes like a teenager. I've been spoiled by some amazing writers and Twilight just didn't cut it for me.

Agreed. I read the first book (after much urging by Carrie) and I hated it. It wasn't my thing and I just didn't think it was very good.

Frank Langella and his fabulous vampire hair win this round.

I got the first 3 ebooks from a friend... and there were so many typos in the second one I could barely make myself finish it. Good thing I didn't have to pay for them. I've gotten so sick of being bombarded by the commercials lately. *rolls eyes* Oh well, it'll keep the teen girls happy. Personally, I'll stick to the classics.

Totally butting in, but the problem, for me, with Twilight keeping the teen girls happy is that it's leading them away from the classics. They're like "YAYES! I is reading!" - but what they're reading is essentially glorified garbage fanfic, and that's almost as bad as not reading anything. Sigh. (For the record, I'm not that far from a teen myself. Early twenties. ;D)

I find the commericals for the movie hilarious. "Say it. Out loud." "Vampire." The acting is atrocious and I haven't even seen it. xD

And I really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings who likes the books/movie but I just can't handle them myself anymore (and yes, I read all four, and I want those hours back - especially from the last two).
