The most boring day ever

[cleolinda]

Not much tonight, but what the hell:

THE FINAL SNACK DEATHMATCH. Reese's cups are dying out there, people!

Birmingham could get up to 3 inches of snow overnight. Naturally, there is panic in the streets.

Electronic cigarettes, what?

Are the photos of Borneo's monster snake real? AHHHHHH.

What Happened to Weird? Paranormal sightings are on the decline. I DON'T KNOW, WHY DON'T YOU ASK THE GIANT BORNEO SNAKE.

"Watchmen" Unscripted.

From sunni_sideup: Paul Weitz, brother of Chris, will direct 'Eclipse.' Yes, together they directed American Pie. Cue Twihard shrieking that they didn't get a prestigious "name" director... now.

From snicks_chan: Twilight the Musical! I am telling you, and I will keep saying it until someone listens: if it doesn't have a rousing rendition of "Love Bites," I want no part of it.

Meanwhile, goonie_freak has pictures of the Sparkle Conversation Hearts. Those are just... delightful. I mean, I know I like to snack on a good pile of glitter now and then.

From Justine: Twilight Supernatural Face and Body Powders... for an immortal glimmer! In Lustre, Dazzle, and Sparkle. AROMALEIGH, I AM APPALLED.

I wonder if they would be any good for dazzling up an Edward doll.

Yeah, we're under a winter warning here in southern TN, too. I'm originally from St. Louis, so the panic that's going on rather amuses the hell out of me.

DO YOU HAVE THE MILK AND THE BREAD? WE WILL ALL DIE WITHOUT THE MILK AND THE BREAD!

A Twilight the musical?

Oh Gods, head for the hills everyone! THE END IS NEAR!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I kind of want to try Twilight candy! For the heck of it, anyway.

[meleth.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to the "Skin of a Killer" show-stopping dance number.

[everstar3.livejournal.com]

Ha, I just sent you the Aromaleigh link myself. XD

I may have laughed my ass off when I saw both Sparkle and Dazzle were options.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I read the description for "Lustre" and went, "Oh, like Renesmee." *headdesk*

[vkitty.livejournal.com]

Twilight Supernatural Face and Body powders... seriously, what has the world come to?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, at least it's a smidge classier than the Official Hot Topic Edward Body Glitter a couple of months back.

: “I personally believe the decline in hauntings may simply be because people haven’t got time to see ghosts any more. These days people are always rushing around, playing computer games, surfing the net, and such activities aren’t great for experiencing apparitions.”

Well...okay, maybe. But I think it has more to do with what was mentioned earlier in the article: the abundance of paranormal-related television shows. People finally think they know enough to NOT flip their shit the minute something moves on its own in their house. I don't really see that as a bad thing, but I may be jaded from the number of people who called my group up to come out and investigate their haunting because "the house is built on an old Indian burial ground." Uh, no, your pipes are just rattly. Chill the fuck out.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

My immediate, very cynical response was, "Well, technology makes it harder to fake things nowadays." I mean, for the average person--people with more expertise can look at your "ghost" photo or whatever and go, "Nice photoshop, dumbass."

You know what? I can't remember where I read it--possibly Wikipedia under "haunting"?--but apparently carbon monoxide poisoning causes a lot of the effects of being "haunted." Wait, here we are: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haunted_house)

In one famous case, carbon monoxide poisoning was clearly identified as the cause of an alleged haunting. Dr. William Wilmer, an ophthalmologist, described the experiences of one of his patients in a 1921 article published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology. "Mr. and Mrs. H." moved into a new home, but soon began to complain of headaches and listlessness. They began to hear bells and footsteps during the night, soon accompanied by strange physical sensations and mysterious figures. When they began to investigate, they found the previous residents had experienced similar symptoms. Upon examination, their furnace was found to be severely damaged, resulting in incomplete combustion and forcing most of the fumes into the house rather than up the chimney.[6] After the stove was fixed, the family fully recovered and did not experience any further unusual events.

Wow, Aromaleigh has balls. I've seen smaller etailers slapped silly for less.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't you think they'd have run that by a lawyer? I don't know--there's no suspiciously illustrated packaging, no similar fonts, no proper names are used, they don't use the word "vampire," even if you could trademark "Twilight" and "Sparkle," nobody has... it's a bit audacious, but it may skirt infringement in all the right places. I Am Not a Lawyer, though, obviously.

That said, if I were them, I would get rid of the word "Twilight" entirely and just have "Supernatural Face and Body Powders," "Supernatural Sparkle," etc.

[salamandersam.livejournal.com]

With all the Twilight marketing, I'm surprised the glittering condoms with Edwards glowering face have not been released yet.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

But that would involve people having sex! And we know how Edward feels about THAT.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

Twilight the Musical!

Ok, when Hugh said the musical was back, and we all started freaking out about remakes, asking people to write new musicals, I don't think this is what we had in mind. And yet...I really can't wait to see this. Oh jeebus, what is wrong with me? Oh who am I kidding, if it's good, it'll be a rich and glorious source of lulz. Carry on.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_stormthesea/]

Oh, God, three inches of snow? You guys must be panicking! I say this not in a snotty, New Englander way (the North East- we're dicks!), but as the sister of someone who goes to college in North Carolina. If they get a few inches of snow, the whole town shuts down, and people apparently just freak out. I've been told of times it has snowed, and the college has shut down- like, for several days.

Of course, I can't really talk. I go to school in Hawaii, and whenever I call home and say, "Mom, it's raining again! I'm so cold!" she gives me a thirty minute lecture about how it's ten degrees outside, and they are starving because the house is covered in a twelve-inch coat of ice. Soon, they will eat the cats.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

Dude, I live in NC. If it even threatens snow, everything promptly shuts down and school gets cancelled (which is great when you're 13). We were out of school for three weeks straight my senior year of high school because of snow and re-freezing ice. I shit you not.

And of course people go to the store and stock up on milk and bread, and then the power goes out for days.

[huushiita.livejournal.com]

dammit I was really hoping to get my e-cigarrette yesterday. We ordered it on Monday. Perhaps we'll have it on Monday night!!! *gleeful*

as for Twilight... ugh... scary

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

Frozen REese's Cups, the original ones, are the bomb.

[flamingtoilet.livejournal.com]

Jebus H. Christo, will the twicrap EVAR end?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

With two movies (at least) to go, and an uncertain economy in which the only certainty besides death and taxes is that Twilight shit sells (ask Entertainment Weekly)? I doubt it.

You know how the Daily Show was sad to see George Bush leave office? This is kind of my relationship with Twilight crap.

[rina2o6.livejournal.com]

The phrase 'twi-tastically' has been used (in regards to the Twilight musical, a possible harbinger of the end times in and of itself). I think I'm giving up the internet

What Happened to Weird? Paranormal sightings are on the decline.

Aww. The Boston Museum of Science is currently housing an exhibit entitled "Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids"— which I'm definitely planning on going to see next weekend. It's a travelling exhibit by the American Museum of Natural History; I don't know where it will be going next (it leaves Boston at the end of March), but the AMNH page for it can be found here in case anyone is interested.

[lupegarou.livejournal.com]

my boyfriend and i went and saw that exhibit at the BMoS completely on accident!
we had planned to go there anyway to see the Omni presentation(s), and while walking up the road towards the Museum saw the giant dragon on the side of the building, and basically had to go.

it was pretty neat. there's a GIANT like, 30 foot dragon.
which i immediately wanted to take home with me.

[mollywobbles867.livejournal.com]

The snow thing reminds me of what a stock boy at the store said today while I was getting groceries. It was really, really busy and he said "Did someone say snow?" I live around Chattanooga and yeah...someone said "snow." *sigh* We might get snow stuck on the grass. That's it.

[meleth.livejournal.com]

Is that...Rupert Grint being a stone-cold fox? Because that makes me feel confused and kind of wrong.

[havocs-roman.livejournal.com]

>> I DON'T KNOW, WHY DON'T YOU ASK THE GIANT BORNEO SNAKE.

LOL. *snorfle* And LOLsnake, too. The other photo linked to in the article is at least more believable than the one of that placidly swimming thing leaving a suspiciously boat-like wake.

.. when did anacondas become too small for people's phobias?

[psychovmhpgrl77.livejournal.com]

Peanut Butter Cups FTW! Come on, what other snack comes in different shapes for holidays. Maybe Peeps, but PB cups pwn Peeps. It's just a fact.

I think it's funny how we get like a foot in Wisconsin and we just deal with it and they get like an inch and a half somewhere like Texas and it's like the apocalypse.

Electronic cigarettes are clearly for posers. Otherwise you would just smoke outright.

Need Twilight the Musical and sparkly conversation hearts. Right now.

Twilight conversation hearts

[flickchick321.livejournal.com]

I bought a pack of the Twilight convo hearts (my fave reads simply FORKS) strictly for the lulz and I'll be damned if they don't taste way better than normal conversation hearts. I must be being dazzled.

Re: Twilight conversation hearts

[goonie-freak.livejournal.com]

Did they glitter? lol I didn't buy them I just cried when I recieved them into inventory...

[mentalmishaps.livejournal.com]

Well Google weather says there will be snow in Georgia, so everyone is probably out stocking up on provisions. However, common sense says that it is 50 degrees outside right now.

Oh my. I actually kind of want those Twilight powders.

[gaslightgallows]

Actually, considering that Paul (and Chris) Weitz's grandfather was Paul Kohner, the producer of Universal's 1931 Spanish language film version of Dracula, the choice is weirdly appropriate.

[insomniacafe547.livejournal.com]

If there aren't songs called "Furious Kitten" and "Outrageous Flavor" for Edward, then I will officially shun the Twimusical.

[smirkdoctor.livejournal.com]

I used glitter Mod Podge to sparkle up my NECA Edward, and it worked really well:

[orgasmic-voices.livejournal.com]

A. Your icon is made of win and a half.
B. That jewelry box? The lion and lamb one? I basically peed my pants, I was laughing so hard. For at least a minute non-stop.
C. Your scrapbooking sign would make Edward jealous. You've got mad skills.

My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

[thecolourclear.livejournal.com]

We had three inches of snow a week ago, and a snow emergency was declared. I live in Minneapolis. We're used to snow. But three inches can be A LOT of snow. Not nearly as a lot as TEN inches are (I'm looking at you, Thursday, two inches of snow in under 90 minutes!), but still enough to totally wreck havoc on a city that's more than well equipped/used to dealing with snow.

[moogleybacon.livejournal.com]

There's a ghost on my dorm floor. My friends and I have named him Thomas.

And I'm serious about this, too. He's unplugged my friends TV cable, moved my other friends closet door, opened my shower door, moved the water handle from hot to cold... and just a bunch of other weird stuff that really couldn't be happening on its own. At this point, the only thing that makes sense if for there to be a ghost.

(Take that people who think paranormal sightings are decreasing. ;D)

[orgasmic-voices.livejournal.com]

So those "Supernatural Face and Body Powders" are absolutely horrible. That last one? "Dazzle"? Who in all honesty wants to go wandering around looking like they doused themselves in glitter glue? Twilight Dazzle provides the most intense borealis iridescent sparkle on your skin. Dazzle sparkles beautifully even under indoor lights, and simply, well... "Dazzles" in the bright sunlight. Wear this one when you *want* to be noticed. This isn't some nice little glow. This is THE SKIN OF A KILLER™.
Oh, wait, I forgot who I was talking about.

Also, it looks like they ripped the adjectives right out of the text. "Iridescent", "luminous", "moonstone", "borealis", "ethereal". SMeyer should be weeping with pride. Or kicking her feet she forgot some of those adjectives.

I wonder if she'll be suing in order to make up for the Nina case.
