Hello whoever is reading,
So what did I get up to today? Well, I met up with my friend in Brisbane. Let’s call her Penny Lane.
So Penny Lane and I decided we’d do some Christmas shopping. Ha. Yeah, fat chance of that. We went to Myer because there was a “secret” sale. Wow, they really kept that under wraps. But despite the sale, everything was still so expensive.
If I had a job, I wouldn’t weep every time I see the price tag on something I desperately want. But alas, I have no experience in any job, and therefore, people don’t want to hire me. It’s getting to the point where I’m about to get on my knees and beg in desperate salvation! That’s what she said. ;)
Although, despite my poorness, I still ended up purchasing a lovely bag from Sportsgirl. Now, before you start to shake your head at my stupid impulse buying, let me just say that the bag was 50% off and it’s so pretty! Also, I’ve been needing (more like wanting) a new bag for a while, and Sportsgirl is pretty much my favourite store on the planet. Yeah, I definitely have a major problem with shopping and saving money. Let’s hope I don’t end up like Isla Fisher in Confessions Of A Shopaholic, minus the scruffy looking weird guy and cliche plotline.
By this time, Penny and I decided to go see Breaking Dawn…Argh. As a major bookworm and love of supernatural, I have read all of the Twilight series books back when I was merely 14 (three years ago…). At the time, I thought it was one the best fucking series I’ve ever read, but by the time the first movie came out, I came to the realisation that Stephanie Meyer is possibly one of the shittiest writers to ever be published. If she can publish a whole fucking series of crap, then so can I. But it’ll be better, of course. It’s not that the idea of the books themselves are bad; it’s just the writing and the movies. Well, what can you expect from a woman who had a dream of Edward telling Bella his real age and his real species, and just decided to write a bunch of books on it? Stephanie isn’t a writer, but you have to commend her for trying and actually making millions out of it.
God, the movies are the worst though. Breaking Dawn Part I left a lot of things out from the original book, and the acting was so dramatic and horrible. Rob Pattinson was good though. He isn’t actually a bad actor, he’s just stuck in a horrible movie franchise, and I think he realises that. As for Kristen Stewart – fucking hell! In the books, Edward and Bella are this fantasy couple in love, but in the movies Kristen made it so fucking awkward between them, especially in the sex scene. She hardly gave any real emotional depth and substance to the movie with her limited facial expressions. The only time she actually displayed anything close to true acting skills was when she was dead after giving birth to the baby.
Taylor Lautner must be recognised though. When he broke down crying after Bella died, I actually felt sympathy and sadness for him. Although at the very start of the movie, you seem him furiously storm outside into the pouring rain and rip his shirt off, to which Penny Lane turned and whispered to me “God, it’s not even five minutes into the movie and he’s already taken his shirt off!” To which I cackled and received a few glares from some Twilight fans. His acting was also pretty good though, but everything was so fucking melodramatic. You think Kristen would have absorbed that. Honestly, I could go on forever about the faults and weirdness of the movie, but it wouldn’t even be worth it.
So that was my day..
Stay excellent, people.
Ziggy xo.
