Nanowrimo update: Okay, so I either write really hardcore and go way beyond my novel's wordcount goal each day, or write next to nothing. D: It's really bad. Perhaps it's because I have lots of homework and midterms and now exams to do...? D: 'Tis a flimsy excuse, is it not? But I think that I'm still on track to hit 50k by November 31st... with any luck, anyway. Come to me, my muses! D:
Also, I'm very glad that Cassidy agreed to be my wordcount rival this year. She has kept me afloat. You rock, my dear! :D
Also, I saw Twilight on Friday night. :3 I still maintain my position that the series is far too popular for it's apparent quality, but I admit that I enjoyed the movie. l felt that it was a good adaption, and I actually found myself liking characters that I was neutral to before - I actually like Bella now! That, and her father, Charlie. That scene directly prior to where Bella brought in Edward to introduce himself formally... the click of the shotgun, then "Bring him in"... XD Also, even though Jasper had only a very small role... he was awesome. Just his... pained look. XD I also didn't mind Emmett or Rosalie, whom I actually actively disliked in the books, but were pretty cool in the movie. Plus, everyone, and especially Carisle, was gorgeous. Seriously. Including the bad guys, who were actively hot. Also, Jacob was a sweetie. :) I don't want him to turn into an asshole as in the books! ;_;
Also, if you're following what I'm saying, read these parodies! http://cleolinda.livejournal.com/630150.html You will be very amused, I assure you. :3
On another matter... you know that meteor that was seen a few days ago over Alberta and Saskatchewan? I witnessed it. It was pretty darn cool, I've got to say, although it kind of made me panick at the time. I was driving to the bus station in the evening (I was going to meet some friends in downtown Edmonton, and it's easier to do park'n'ride than try to do transfers), and I was about to turn left when I saw this massive bright light in the distance, kind of angling downwards to the right. It looked really, really close, and I actually thought that something was landing in the field to the right of the road (I've since learned that it was probably much further away). But it was like in flames... you know those shots of rockets taking off, with the flames and smoke billowing out after it? It was like that, only heading downwards. It light up quite a bit of the sky, but only for about five seconds. I nearly caused an accident because I braked in the middle of my turn. I thought "I should call somebody", because I thought that it was a plane going down or something, but I had no idea who I should call. The police? An ambulance? A firetruck? Or what?
Then I got to the bus stop and asked the other people waiting there if they'd seen it, and one guy said "yeah, I saw a firework going off". I thought, well, it was going downwards, but I guess it could have been a firework... I didn't know what it was until I read the paper the next morning (it was on the front page). Crazy stuff, man....
Now, I really should get back on writing that Canadian History paper... D:

Date: 2008-11-24 02:41 am (UTC)(There's absolutely no way I'll be done my novel by 50K, though.... I'm going to plan a few "NaNoWriDay"s in December to force myself to stick with it... if you're not finished by 50K, want to do them with me? I'm thinking, I'll dedicate a day or two to writing, and aim for a very high goal of 10K in a day.)
Should probably work on my last Astronomy assignment, too. (It's not due until Friday, though...)

Date: 2008-11-25 04:37 pm (UTC)I agree with you though. It's way too popular considering its quality, which is not even close to the epicness of Eragon or Harry Potter. Still, it's an entertaining, light read. :)
I'm also really glad that the movie made you like Emmett more <3 He's my favorite big teddy bear vampire! Because his personality is seriously like a big friendly bear (that gets super dangerous if you threaten its family). I loved him in the books and now I'm excited to see him and Jasper in the movie!
