I just had a funny Twi-Fan run-in. 

I went to Qdoba for lunch, and as the older lady at the register was ringing up my order the girl next to her was telling her what I got.  At the lunch rush, it is complete chaos so it was loud and noisy.  The lady at register asked me what I got, and her friend said, "I just told you what she ordered!"  All flustered, the register lady said, "I feel like Edward." (I'm wondering who Edward is.) She continues "You know, when he and Bella are at that restaurant.  I'm hearing everything right now!"   I was chuckling as I left.

Tell me about your random and odd Twi-fan run-ins!

I came across these yesterday on Youtube. Never seen anything like it before, but I laughed and laughed and laughed. I thought these might make a good CF topic for a few laughs we might all need every so often.

oh dear lord fyt (thanks to lookingforhoofprints for finding this picture for me. you guys discuss things in this campfire, i'll be in my bunk):

I really wish How to Paint a House would update.  It's one of my favorite stories!  I truly think that the author intends to finish it but there has not been an update since September.  She left an note on her profile page in January that said she was working on the last couple of chapters.  

What stories would you like to see update? 

This travesty of publishing will NEVER go away. SQuiD is milking this for all it's worth. A new book, Shades of Grey: Inner Goddess will be released May 1st.

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-03-12/fifty-shades-of-greys-e-dot-l-dot-james-next-book-is-a-writers-journal

James’s Shades of Grey: Inner Goddess, which will come out on May 1, is being billed as a “writer’s journal.” She reportedly wrote the forward, shared some excerpts from her Fifty Shades series, and provided a music playlist that she listened to while writing. (Please tell me there’s some Barry White.) The book will also have blank pages on which women can brainstorm ideas for their own books.

“Her personal story as a writer is inspirational to many women, and journaling has been an important part of her creative process from the start,” Vintage publisher Anne Messitte said in a statement when the deal was announced on Monday. For the subtlety-challenged, it’s a pitch that suggests that a 1,500-page best-selling series could happen to anyone with a diary.

I can think of some titles for the chapters on How to Publish a Hit Novel. Something along the lines of "Target an established fan-base" comes to mind. And after this drivel comes out, there is no way she won't do her own Midnight Sun version of 50 Shades. How does Fifty Shades of Midnight sound??

What will it take for this horrible book to just go away?

I'm in the mood to read something Unique. Come inside and share something different. I can be North and South, Vampire Darcy, Doctor Who, Something new, or old, but make it

UNIQUE

Not Allowed: Simple high school drama, teacher and student romance, emotionally damaged Bella and/or Edward who can't seem to have an open and honest conversation. Older gentleman who pays Bella to do School/Work/simply live. Millionaire Guy who has everything he wants but needs to marry in order to acquire inheritance. Draco's faults are suddenly gone and Hermione is forced to marry him. Sookie falls for Eric hard and fast. Eric is not a jerk in the beginning and Bill never does anything right.

My Recs:

The Cannabean Betrothal: No they are not always high, and No they are not Amish.

La canzone della Bella Cigna: Opera and Vampires. Enough said.

Birds of a Feather: Best Sookie fanfiction I've ever read. And I've read a lot!

Disclaimer: I've read many stories  with plots in the "Not Allowed" list. I've enjoyed them and even promoted them. This is not a diss.

Yes, the Pope had been elected. The smoke was white. Name still unknown.

Will be back with more news as soon as the name is revealed.

Addition. The new Pope is the Archibishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinale Bergoglio.

His name will be Francesco I

1st official pic! SO excited for this movie...

Australia was founded as a repository for crooks and criminals — a wretched hive of scum and villainy, like the British Empire’s own Mos Eisley. Of course, that was a long time ago and the Australian national demeanor has since shifted from “kill or be killed” to “live and let live,” but David Michôd’s gritty 2010 drama Animal Kingdom chronicled some of the country’s more modern criminal descendents. In his upcoming sophomore effort, The Rover, the director takes things even further.

Robert Pattinson plays a denizen of the Outback in the near future, after a worldwide financial collapse has sent many like him running to the still viable mines of the Australian desert. “It’s like a new gold rush,” says Michôd. “Where people from all corners of the world have come out to the desert to scrape out an existence. Petty criminals and miscreants and hustlers.” Guy Pearce, who had an uncharacteristically reserved role in Animal Kingdom, gets to sink his teeth into a nicely nasty part opposite Pattinson. “The basic story is really quite elemental,” says Michôd. “You’ve got a really dark, dangerous, murderous person in Guy’s character, and in Rob’s character you have a quite troubled and damaged, but beautiful and naïve, soul.”

Of course, just by its setting and basic plot, The Rover is poised to draw comparisons to one of the antipodean country’s most memorable cinematic contributions. “You put cars in the desert in Australia and people are going to think of Mad Max,” says Michôd. “And with all due respect to that film — and I stress that — I think The Rover is going to be way more chillingly authentic and menacing.”

Who wanna take a bet that<<His character will die in the end?>> lol
