Stupid Twilight Fan is Stupid

Wolfman is totally a rip-off of Twilight!

Did you guys know that?? Stephanie Meyer was the one who invented werewolves, and Jacob Black (played by Taylor Lautner) is the only TRUE werewolf? Wow I did not know that at all.

To whom this may concern:

This movie was a complete waste and I feel that it offends ALL Twilight Fans around the world, that including myself. For one, it was a COMPLETE remaking of the Wolf Pack from the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It gives the werewolves a bad name and makes them look like some deformed mutation of a rabid dog. I actually started to like werewolves after seeing Jacob Black and all his awesomeness on the big screen at the movies. That was until I saw your crappy remake of what you call to be a "were wolf". I don't see how you live with yourself for making it the way you did. If I made this movie, I would be ashamed to even admit that I owned it. How can a werewolf be killed with a silver bullet? Better yet, have you saw the transformation of the man that is "supposed" to be the wolf? He sits in some chair and his entire body turns in to some mutated freak. If you would watch the transformation of Jacob Black, (Taylor Lautner) he doesn't come close to looking as fake, cheap and or mutated as the wolf man. You tell me, who looks to be the better werewolf. Your stupid Wolf Movie didn't even make the top Movie for the charts; Valentines Day WITH TAYLOR Lautner! Get that this is MY oppinion and I felt I wanted to express it because I saw that your email was on your site. I wanted to let you know this is what i thought of the wolf man that sucks.
FREAKIN LAUTNER DID!


There's actually a little bit more to the email at the link; she included screencaps.

Awesome! Good to know.

Microsot needs more tequila

I just received a message in my junk folder from "Microsot" saying that my email ID was chosen for something. I deleted it, of course, but I couldn't help envisioning Microsot as a tiny drunkard.

The Man Your Man Could Smell Like

This is quite an awesome commercial.

Fuzzy wubsy...wha?

What I thought the song said:

I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me!
Bubba, Bubba Wubsy!



What the song actually says:

I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me!
Papa, paparazzi!



I think I like Bubba Wubsy better.

No Way But Up

Hello, everyone.

This is my mom's book.

By that I mean, she wrote it. She's been working on it for 15 years. It's about my dad's time in the hospital, in the 8 months between his accident and his death. I've read it, of course, in the process of proofreading it. I found it interesting because, even though I lived it, my memories of that time are mostly of playing with Charley in the hospital solarium, and being stuck in the fresh hell of a new junior high school. So this book gave me the chance to see that time through my mom's eyes, and everything she had to deal with at my dad's side.

It's finally published, available, out there! And we are all so very pleased! If you know anyone who enjoys reading books about normal families and life and tragedy, or if (heavens!) you are such a person yourself, please pass the word along!

On a related note, does anyone know anything about how libraries choose their books? If I were to buy a copy of this book and offer it to my local library, do you think they would take it and actually make it available on the shelf? Or would it just go into one of those library exchanges?

Manwuctus

For my inaugural post here, the origin and proper usage of "manwuctus."

What does Manwuctus mean? The answer is, nothing. It's a nonsense word my cousin uttered on our trip to California. While sitting in the dingy Motel 6 with the space capsule shower, she was idly picking at the thin, garish bedspread when she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I see. They're custom ugly." In addition to the "Motel 6" logos all over them, they were covered with a variety of random non sequitur images.

"Dog, fishing pole..." Charley said.
"A horse, yellow person..." Molly added.
"Oh, and a cactus!" I said.

Molly looked puzzled. "Manwuctus?"

"Manwuctus? The hell is that? I said 'a cactus.' "

But then I decided I kind of liked "manwuctus." So it became our trip word, that we used whenever we couldn't think of the right word, or couldn't use the right word in polite company.

It became "I'll kick you in the manwuctus" or "Ew, my shoes are sticking to some kind of manwuctus on the floor!"

One night, those of us in the younger set (myself and Charley, and 4 or 5 of our cousins) were sitting around. It was late, we were tired, and possibly had had some wine.

"Manwuctuses?"
"Manwucti."
"Oh."
"Manwuction."
"Manwuctization."
"Manwuctable."
"...Manwuctile dysfunction!"

I think that's about when we decided it was time to go to bed.
