cleolinda | Well, at least I was productive

Lots of work done today! No ~~whammies! no whammies!~~ crashes! And yet, there is still more to do. And once again, I hunger. I hope there's some of that ravioli downstairs.

Let's get the pre-trailer bedazzlement Twi-spam out of the way so you can skip it if you want.

ETA: ~*THE TRAILER IS HERE*~

Widget, you suck.

(WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS, FOR REAL)

Baby Renesmee Bella Stephenie has been adopted, as originally planned, and renamed Lily Anne. Thus ends that pitiful story. Meanwhile: Go Fug Yourself makes my day with Fug the Poster: Twilight; the EW photoshoot finds new ways to fail; two new pics (I'm really not sure what this is supposed to be--Bella Italia? Doesn't look tense enough; I HATE ALL YOU GUYS); RPattz live at the Whiskey, hilarity ensues.

Also, don't forget: you have the final trailer on Entertainment Tonight at--what, 6:30 pm CST? I don't even know. Oh, and then you have it on THE WIDGET. By the way, my advice is to hit up

trailer_spot in a few hours for a direct HD download of the new trailer if you don't want to venture out on MySpace. God knows I don't.

A few non-partisan stories about (American) voting: Massive voter roll purges being done in secret?; 5 Friends, a celeb-packed campaign to get people to register and vote; Vote for Change, where you can check your voter registration regardless of affiliation; Your Grievance For the Next Four Years: "Voter Fraud"; There's Nothing Some Fear More Than Citizens Exercising Their Constitutional Rights.

I'll tell you the truth, I'm to the point where I want to vomit if I so much as see the word election on a TV screen--I can't even find a channel that will report news on anything other than the election at this point, and it's been going on for more than a year now, and all they do is talk about the same superficial talking-head soundbite non-issues over and over again. And I make a point to rarely, if ever, mention politics here, because the parts of this journal that aren't personal are pop culture/entertainment blogging, and I like it that way. I like not having to moderate arguments and I like having a happy little quiet place where I don't have to hear about politics--not because I don't want to hear about politics ever, or because I don't want you to hear about them, but because I assume we're all getting our daily political FDA requirement elsewhere, at (the few?) blogs and websites and newspapers that actually know what they're talking about.

Anyway, my point is that I do care. I just don't want to care about it here, other than the occasional link or story that's about politics as it relates to entertainment, or politics as it relates to everyone regardless of party. Like voting. Because I do believe it's important, and you better believe that if someone tries to stop me from voting I will raise holy goddamn hell about it. And you should too.

More linkspam!

Beware of Russian bots on LJ.

Web Surfers Face Dangerous New Threat: 'Clickjacking.' And there's nothing yet we can do about it, you say? Outstanding.
