Both times I watched Breaking Dawn Part II in the theater, I saw a trailer for Beautiful Creatures. I made a note to check out the book. I found myself with some kid-free free time in Barnes and Noble, and found the first book, Beautiful Creatures. I read the first 54 pages before they announced … Continue reading

Worst. Ending. Ever.
Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers for both The Hunger Games trilogy and the Twilight saga. For many reasons, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and read The Hunger Games trilogy. I finished The Hunger Games on the plane home from Nashville. I really enjoyed it. The ending was, well, sad, but I thought … Continue reading
The Twilight-Themed Baby Shower
Last Sunday, I co-hosted a Twilight-themed baby shower. I thought it was awesome. The expectant mom thought it was awesome. Therefore, it was awesome. Back story: My friend Shaina is pregnant with her fifth child. When she told me, I realized that she hadn’t met our group of friends until she was pregnant with her … Continue reading
Surprisingly, Breaking Dawn Part I Didn’t Suck
My friend Shaina and I went to see Breaking Dawn Part I today. Shaina and I went to mock the movie. Neither Robert Pattinson nor Kristin Stewart can actually act (at least in these movies) so you pretty much have to mock. For what it’s worth, I think part of the poor acting is due to … Continue reading
Academy of Sciences
Jack’s school had an “in-service” day today, so a bunch of us went to the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Despite a rocky start, the day was enjoyable. I will say, however, that I still have “If You Like It Then You Should Have Put on Ring On It” by the Chip-ettes in … Continue reading
It’s Been Awhile
(originally posted on LiveJournal) I forgot how much I hate how Safari interacts with LiveJournal. *sigh* OK… so, I was going to post about the sheer amount of Twilight fan-fic I’ve been reading over the last several months, but then realized I probably shouldn’t advertise my blatant addiction. We need to add a room to … Continue reading
Random Thoughts from the Last 2 Months
(Originally published on LiveJournal) New Moon, The Movie I went to see this with my friend Christy the day after Thanksgiving. I actually liked it, for the most part, until they got to Italy. (I know no one except donnajean2277 cares about this, but still.) However, there were certain plot points missing from the first half that … Continue reading
He Knows Me So Well
(originally posted on LiveJournal) Yesterday, we were at Max’s aunt’s house. Jack said something about getting Twilight for Christmas. Max asked me, “Robyn, why is he asking for Twilight for Christmas?” I couldn’t think of why, so I asked Jack, “Do you know what Twilight is?” He said: “Yeah. It’s what you read all the … Continue reading
Dear People
(originally posted on LiveJournal) Dear Contractors, You get paid $55 per hour, which is at least $20 more per hour than I make. So why am I awake until midnight fixing your mistakes? Sincerely, The Only Actual Technical Writer Employed by The Company Dear US Manager, If you want your projects done on time, I … Continue reading
Real Life
(originally posted on LiveJournal) Aside from Disneyland, there has been lots going on. My neighbor’s 16 year old son was shot on his way to school two weeks ago. The news outlets butchered what really happened. It boils down to, the Kid was shot because he was wearing red pants. The papers attributed it to … Continue reading
