Zombie Romance

I haven't been on my computer in ages. I suppose since I'm not in school anymore I don't use it for research or papers and I can check my e-mail on my phone now so I hardly use it for that. I don't even need it to update my blog and I've been on facebook hiatus since I gave up on all those inane games. I suppose I thought the poor thing was missing me so this post is from my computer (shhh... nobody say anything about me wanting a new computer, I don't want charlie to feel bad, worse, you know). I  applied for another job today before going into town. I went with L.G. to see the new Sorcerer's Apprentice movie. It was really good. Ninety five percent of the reason I went was Nicholas Cage and the other five percent was the live action version of the mad mop scene from fantasia but the rest of the movie turned out to be really good as well. I went home without getting any pizza but that's ok becaue ma let me order a pizza  for supper anyway and that way she paid for it instead of me.

I finally broke down and watched the second twilight movie, even though I'm still a firm believer that the whole series is lame, poorly written, and doesn't even have any real vampires in it. Turns out the second movie was just Bella feeling suicidal because Edward left and Edward being suicidal because he thought she succeded when really she was saved by the werewolf. Basically melodramadic idiocy. All I can say is I was watching a very poor quality copy a friend burned me, the sound was off and the piture was fuzy and it skipped a lot, and the quality of the video was still better than the quality of the book, story, plot, characters, and movie acting combined. And don't tell me that story and plot are the same thing because the're not. I'm an English major, I should know. If only I wasn't so lazy, then I could wite my own vampire romance. Although, since vampires are so sickeningly popular these days, as are werewolves and wizards,  maybe I should move on to the next big thing and write a zombie romance novel. Seriously, at least then when people gagged reading it it wouldn't be becuase it was sappy or the writing sucked, it would be because some girl was swapping spit with a reanimated rotting corpse that lacks all voluntary bodily control and only exists to eat brains and do the bidding of an evil vodo priest intent on taking over the world. I'll sleep on it and start writing tomorrow.  (Man, I really wanted to put in a mean political joke in there about the vp, thank goodness I caught myself.)
