Hardwicke will not be directing “New Moon”
Posted on December 9, 2008 by Ching under Movies, Web.
It’s amazing what you find out when you have a lot of time on your hands. You guessed it. I am at home sick today. Bedridden. Thank God for laptops and wireless internet. I may be bedridden, but at least I’m not bored. How can you be bored when the vast world wide web awaits? LOL.
I have something else to be thankful for today. Summit has confirmed that Catherine Hardwicke will not be directing the Twilight sequel New Moon. I’m glad they are replacing her because there were just so many things about Twilight that bugged me. Anyway, I’m anxious to find out who they select to fill director position.
Incidentally, I submitted my first IMDb correction-slash-update-request today (reference number 081209-195552-238000). I noticed that Hardwicke still has New Moon listed in her filmography credits. I requested the correction citing Summit’s recent press release. There’s no point hanging on to what was.

Our Relationship
Posted on December 7, 2008 by Ching under Life.
Brian and I have been together for almost ten years now (married six years) and so we were pondering our relationship on the drive home from his parents’ house this evening. We were talking about having crushes and having your heart broken so badly that you thought you would die.
I’m not sure how we got into the subject when out of the blue he goes, “You have to admit, baby, there was a time there when you were really psychotic.”
I could not, in good conscience, argue with that statement because I knew full well how insane I behaved when we first started dating. I was so crazy that we actually went to couples counseling before we were married.
“Yes,” I conceded, “but have you ever stopped to consider that you have that effect on women?” After all, I wasn’t the only neurotic girlfriend he’d ever had. As a matter of fact, I think all of his ex-girlfriends have been neurotic in some form or another. The only thing we all had in common was him. Therefore, a rational person could only come to one logical conclusion. Could it be that he is the problem? LOL.
Looking back, I think I am the only girlfriend who survived past the psychotic stage. And that, my friends, is how Brian and I ended up husband and wife.
[ P.S. Remind me to tell you the real story later. ]

Finished Twilight
Posted on December 6, 2008 by Ching under Projects, Reviews.
Finally, finished the Twilight saga (thanks to Jenni for the digital versions). I read all four books in the span of two weeks. Can you believe it? I had just finished New Moon when we went to see the movie. I immediately attacked Eclipse the next day, and was finishing Breaking Dawn before I new it. The books flow together really well. Once you get started, there’s just no stopping until you are finished.
Here are the books in my order of preference:
- Breaking Dawn — definitely the best and longest book in the series; I would tell you more about why this is my favorite but I’m afraid I might spoil the your reading experience
- Eclipse — lots of action in this one; I think it will make a great movie
- Twilight — don’t let the movie mislead you; the book is a hundred times better
- New Moon — this is my least favorite because the beginning really upset me, so much so that I had to take a break from reading for almost two days; anyway, I won’t say anymore so I don’t ruin it
Anyway, I found out that Amazon is taking pre-orders for The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide
P.S. I’m procrastinating from finishing my poker cruise book. 🙁 Maybe I can start working on it again after Midnight Sun. That is, unless I find something else to keep me occupied.
