maybe I'm the only one who cares??

Okay I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a fan of the Twilight movies. I know they're incredibly cheesy - though I haven't read the books because I'm afraid of how bad they'll be. But I do love the movies. And I just read some interesting news about the next movie. Anyone a fan of the fantastic (and too quickly cancelled show) Pushing Daisies ? Or the movie The Fall ? Then you are familiar with the gorgeous Lee Pace. And apparently he's going to be in the newest movie Breaking Dawn - I'm not sure when it's coming out, but I'll be excited to see him!
Here's an article: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=70702

and here's a photo of Lee (that's also him in my icon - from The Fall),





I was so tired when I got home from work today after getting only about 4-5 hours of sleep last night. and I had a major headache, so I took some Excedrin and drank a cup of coffee, and now I'm afraid I'll be wired all night! I've been working on a seriously lengthy post with some information, stories and pictures from my recent teaching gigs... hope you'll enjoy it. If I ever get the photos all coded...

so stay tuned!

that is all... sorry for the meaningless post.

The book series that Vampire Diaries is based on predates Twilight by a number of years, though obviously it's the popularity of Twilight that has made it viable as a TV Show.

As for similarity to Twilight: I find that Stefan can be a little too Edward like at times, but Elena seems to avoid most of Bella's worse traits, and it is set in high school like most of these things. The best character is Stefan's brother Damon played by Ian Somerhalder (Boone from Lost), he steals every scene he is in, I guess he's basically the bad boy type but he's so much more interesting than Stefan - and he has amazing eyes.

I guess it's one of my guilty pleasure shows, one that doesn't take too much brain power but is fun and has vampires (and witches and werewolves!).

hm now I wonder if I should read the books at least - I might be able to find them on Amazon.com here in Japan. I hardly have time for more shows - I need to spend my time doing more productive stuff as it is.

oh but I might need to watch for Ian Somerhalder - he's gorgeous!

and if it has witches and werewolves - why am I not watching it??
