I have this major sinus headache right now, so I might not be online a ton longer, especially if I want to catch Kristen on Leno or maybe Rob on JK's show tonight (they're on at the same time! Who schedules this stuff?!).
At least I got my groceries today. But then tomorrow and Wed. I have to work the oddest scheduled days that I've worked so far. Tomorrow, I work from 11:00-2:00, and Wed I have to work from 11:00-3:30. At least I have Thursday off. I might try and catch Crash Course and Top Gear Movie Cars tonight, but that depends on how I feel by then.
Music: I do have some presents for you if you want them. First off, there's the song "Waiting For" by Reiri (Líng-Lì Yáng), and "Cotton Candy" by Bonnie Pink. Both are from--yeah, you guessed it--Guyver cartoons, but I think that they have something to offer to you if you want a listen, and, if you can stand having to look up translated lyrics (both songs are mostly in Japanese). "Waiting For" reminds me of some of the songs by like Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil or Evanescence. And "Cotton Candy" wouldn't be out of place in BD2 or another Twilight film IMO. Also, there's an AMV with scenes from various Guyver cartoons (about the only Guyver AMV most of you would watch since it focuses or romance), that at the end features a scene out of the 6th episode of the OVA cartoons that was amazing, and though it's a bit sappy, it's still pretty awesome to watch--and again, not too far removed from some of the scenes in Twilight as far as impact and effect.
Songbird: I prefer BK's stuff for the most part, but MD has the better chicken nuggets IMO.
And it's gonna get frigid cold here tonight--about 25 degrees. But I'll probably be in bed by then--I seriously don't expect myself to stay up much longer after Leno and JK go off.
Caryn: Hey, I like what I like. I can't lie about that
. Just be glad that I didn't list the stuff that I like to drink, now that's some pretty bizarre stuff. And no, I'm not gonna list that root beer/wine stuff, or wine, period, on that list. And slap bracelets dangerous? Never heard of that one (heard of the Live Strong stuff, but that's a different story), but then again, I've never been a big one on pop culture for a lot of things. How many 26 year old straight guys can say openly that they like Cher? How many people on Twilight forums will admit to liking Guyver-related media? I rest my case on both counts LOL.And Rob vs the Volvo. I'm not the biggest fans of Volvo cars, but I don't think that there's anything bad wrong with the new S60. I'm more in to Audi, BMW, some Hyundai and Kia products (namely the Sonata and Optima sedans), Ford and some Euro-derived GM cars. But I mean, C'mon, can any of us imagine Edward driving around in a Geo Metro, a Yugo, a Morris Marina or an Austin Allegro? Can any of us imagine Rob driving around in a Geo Metro, a Yugo, a Morris Marina or an Austin Allegro?! Again, I rest my case.
Everyone: If only the shows were more staggered, I could catch Kristen and Rob on their respective shows. But I'll be happy to catch either one before I call it a night--I'm about to take a nap in about an hour or so when I get done on here.
I might try and peep back in, but that might be a long shot.
I'll be back later
" Minnesota is a Blue State. I'm sure you've taken excellent care of Garfield and pampered him through his recovery. Zen- master - I hope you don't have to wait too long. So you get to see BD2 first. I might have to stay away from the Lex for a couple of days! Are you going to see it with any of the HH Girls?
, and I keep reminding myself to take a deep breath and remember that it'll all be done soon enough. It's difficult to find the time to paint with work and kids' activities. I'm not sure our timing was the best for all this mess, with the holidays coming up....but it's a little late to back out now. 
Thanks for asking about the van. We purchased a used Honda Odyssey and were fortunate enough to find a 2010 model with ~26,000 miles. We thought about purchasing an older model, but didn't want to have to pay for any major maintenace the first year or so on a used model with higher mileage. I'm sure we'll keep this one a long time and drive it into the ground, the way we had originally intended to do with our 2006 model, before the accident.
I can't wait to see what style and color of suit Rob wears to the premieres, and wonder if he might just go with classic black or gray? How can he ever top what he's managed to beautifully wear to all the other movie premieres? As always.....thanks for keeping us posted with the latest Robcrack. 
Although I liked certain aspects of their conversation and was very drawn to their words and the angst and emotion behind them.... "How long have you been seventeen?" "Awhile." I didn't like how Edward seemed so angry, and then just ran up the mountain (worst special effects, ever 
) carting Bella on his back, to show her "the skin of a killer". I would have preferred that Bella's inquiries and Edward's disclosure had taken place in the restaurant, as they did in the book. One of my favorite aspects of that particular section of the book was the way Bella and Edward planned to go away together, in spite of the inherent danger and potential cost to each of them. I think book Bella described it as "balancing on a knife's edge" because of the tension...things would go one way, or another (Edward would kill her, or he wouldn't). I was literally on the edge of my seat reading those pages before and during the meadow scene.....but sadly, the movie lost some of that level of suspense and tension because of the rather random way Edward and Bella arrived in the meadow.
