Andy Samberg wants you to come in and find out what my fam did yesterday.

You don't want to let Andy down do you?

***Edit--- I posted the pics further down in the thread bc some of the posters couldn't view the youtube video :) 

A Day In The Life Of TiramiSue

This is the unspectacular tale of how my ordinary day turned out be a little less boring.

Come in and find out what the heck I'm talking about here, if you dare to! =)

Yaaay for him!!  He was one sexy smoker though.

Any smokers here in the forest?  Former smokers?  

How goes your resistance?

My son is seventeen and at least eight of his friends are smokers.  My dad is 74 and has never been able to quit, though he has tried multiple times throughout his life.

We'll see if Rob can resist!  FYT:

My day in the life was Saturday and it was a wonderful, fun, hilarious, much needed day :D

First of all, I have no affiliation with this project.

I haven't even donated, at least not yet. I *am* thinking about it.

I feel that focusing / limiting / theming each issue will mean that good material will be passed over while poor or mediocre material that matches the theme will be chosen. ("We had a dragon issue last year, so the new Anne McCaffrey contribution will have to wait for Fall 2016.")

The earlier incarnation seems somewhat amateurish. Not much bang for the magazine buck. And four times a year? Hard to maintain excitement over that long a period of time.

Don't get me started on the tank top for what is essentially an online investor appeal. (If you look like you just wandered in from gardening or a day at the beach it doesn't inspire confidence that this is going to be anything close to a professional endeavor.)

EVEN SO ...

This could be really marvelous. The revamped -- heh! -- magazine is going to be e-zine format, which will be a huge savings, and will pay a lot more for submissions.

FOR DISCUSSION:

A new fantasy magazine for young readers: Is there a need?

Kickstarter.com: Would you use it to fund a project? Have you had any experiences with Kickstarter or a similar program, good or bad?

Would you subscribe to a magazine like this for a young reader in your life? For yourself?

Would you be interested in such a magazine that was, instead, focused on adult readers and published literary supernatural erotica?

If you are an author, would you write for such a magazine?

The decision to e-pub the magazine -- good business decision? Is something lost when you don't have the printed magazine or book in your hand? Is an e-subscription to a magazine substantially different than a print subscription?

I’m so happy ADF is doing this right now, because I actually had a great weekend (i.e. worth sharing)!

We traveled back to Iowa to visit family, since I hadn’t been able to see them since mid-March (when I started my new job).  So early Friday, we left the Detroit Metro area:

(home of Comerica Park)

And traveled back to the Quad Cities in Iowa (more inside!)

FYI. HDNet Movies (Channel 746 on my Verizon Fios), will be showing Bel Ami, June 6th at 8.45pm et. I'm not sure which subscription package HDNet comes in. Some of you may have it, and be unaware.

Anyway, save yourself the $$$ if you have access to the channel.

Hope you're having a lovely Memorial Day. 

My day in the life was Friday. It was boring but entertaining. So a fairly typical day for me. I'll apologize in advance because there aren't a lot of pictures of my day, mostly because I spent most of it in a pharmacy and we're not allowed to take pictures. Something about potentially compromising patient information. I think they just want to suck all the fun out of my life.

How am I shamelessly going to get you click on it to my DiTL? Well first I'm going to bribe you with a picture of George.

Secondly, I'm going first, so you're going to need something to occupy yourself while all the late bloomers take their time making their campfires pretty. I'm all about getting things done quick and dirty.

Thirdly, here's a list of things you'll find me ranting and/or raving about inside:
1. Work
2. My total lack of coordination
3. The lack of competency at my local Dunkin Donuts
4. John Green
5. Hilary Swank
6. Idiot customers with stupid questions
7. Life changing hotdogs
8. Magnum bars
9. (500) Days of Summer

The Looking for Love <3 CF from a few days ago inspired me to start this one. I wanted to so badly talk up my love for one Richard Rahl/Cypher, but I could not in good conscience recommend that book series. While I absolutely adore Richard and a good many of Goodkind's characters, the plots and the writing left a bit to be desired, more specifically in the later books.

Honestly, it seemed like someone got captured in every single book (and that's saying something, as the series is 11 books long)! The author is incredibly self-indulgent, taking thousands of pages to say what he could have in probably half the words. And the final impression makes me think he was trying very hard to be clever and just fell miserably short. I can't fathom how someone could write these obscenely contrived plot lines, and then place these beautiful, diverse characters throughout. 

So here's my question to all of you:

• Have you ever been so in love with a certain aspect of a book or series that you wanted to rec it, but something about it just stops you?
• Maybe there's a TV show or movie that has the most captivating script, but the lead actor is a complete moron.
• Maybe that novel you read has the hottest sex scenes, but everything else about it reeks of day old cheese.

What is your, "It's so good! If only it wasn't . . .?"

Really want to read : Full Disclosure by Betty Smith

Can somebody help me?

Thanks :)

my fanfic rec :

This is my take on Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's relationship, starting at the Twilight auditions. I will make it as real as possible, using actual events and things from their life that they have let people know about. RPOV and KPOV.

---> really enjoy reading it :D

now come in here and see what was a lazy day for me and mine. and listen to this song, it's really good.

I've been thinking about Common Threads in stories I enjoy and wanted to know if other campers felt the same.

1) If you think about  3 or 4 of your favorite stories, are there any common themes/threads between them? (Don't go run to scan you fav's on ff.net just think of the stories you've enjoyed the most off the top of your head.)

2) If you're a writer do you write what you like to read or go a completely different direction?

FYT...

I know this fic was popular at one time or another, but I can't remember the title. I believe Edward is a Hollywood actor, or something like that.  Bella is his assistant, and she's in love with him, but I don't think he knows...

It's something along these lines... ring a bell?  Sorry I don't have more detail.

My rec is the following:  Off the Record by belladonna1472.

I desperately need some advice! My 14 year old daughter wants a nose piercing!

I am still kinda torn on this. Initially, I told her no, because I wasn't thrilled with the idea and thought she might be too young, but then hubby said he didn't see anything wrong with it and that it's no different than her ears being pierced. Which is true, I suppose.

I do think that the small studs (like the pic below) are very pretty but I dunno, I've never really given much thought to them otherwise and I don't know anyone that has one to ask.

So, can we talk nose piercings for a minute?

Do you have one? Know someone with one?

How old were you/they when they had it done? Any regrets?

What are the negatives to having one? I heard that some employers won't allow facial piercings...have you found this to be true?

Basically, I'll take any info you can give me about them! (Also one more question inside)

There's always a ton of Rob love and a good amount of Kristen love on here.

In my opinion, we need more Peter *snicker*

Me personally- I prefer his Fast Lane days, but any pics will do.

Join me in giving Peter love *snickers again*

I'm completely addicted to Spanglemaker's latest fic (link!) which does Vampward POV to perfection. It's got me craving some more! Would love to hear your favourites :)

Windchyme's "The Keepsake" is also another fantastic one.

What are yours? 

in the first movie, except for the car saving incident and the kiss. He explains: "I was thinking of the (Ang Lee) movie `Lust, Caution,' and thinking there should be this tension there the whole time – just standing near someone there's electricity".

Woah, it seems he got the character and the appeal more than we gave him credit for. The tension WAS there the whole time. I even loved that "Does a person have to die to become like you" scene, where they were sitting in the rain and he was doing a Christian Slater impression ("It wouldn't be like your blood, for instance"), but no touching/love declarations.

Full interview with Viva Press UK here

Also about Edward Cullen, from his Le Figaro interview: "Rob: People don't watch Twilight for what the movies are but more as a global phenomenon. Edward Cullen is like a superhero A superhero who doesn't do anything but be super. In Cosmopolis, I'll finally be judged for my performance. That's why I'm scared!"

Yes, I pay attention to any reference he makes to the first movie.I'd actually really appreciate it if those of you that do read all his interviews could let us know what he says about Twilight and Edward Cullen. It's not that Twilight has ruined me for any other movie; what it did do is show me there are movies I too can find appealing.
