So Pete Doherty is a brunette again and THANK GOODNESS because the blond was SCARY, YO. Like, really. I don't know what he was thinking. That with the thankfully normal-again hair and the disappeareance of the bint that was always hanging from his arm (i.e. Kate Moss, attention whore extraordinaire), he can now go and win Carlos back. If, you know, Carl would get away from his new wife. (I kid, I kid, Annalisa looks awfully sweet and Carl's finally smiling again, so.)


Anyway, I'm halfway done with Twilight. ( I do have to say, the book's catchy, at least. (in which I'm not that incredibly great about it, so better skip if you're a rabid fan of the book) )

ANYWAY, the real reason I wanted to read these books? (apart from fiding out who the fuck Edward was and why everyone was swooning about him) THE COVERS. The covers are wonderfully designed and constructed, and they give off an air of mystery and darkness about them (as well as temptation, that with the apple and stuff). The colors invoke vampires so well, and the typography is edgy and interesting. I have mad LOVE for the covers. BUT, the cover sells a dark story of cross-stared love in an evocative and heady dark atmosphere and the book is rather, rather different. AND THAT, KIDS, IS WHY I LOVE GRAPHIC DESIGN SO MUCH. It plays with one's mind and makes one make assumptions and then, well, it's kinda late to turn the book back, isn't it? It's the covers that have sold the book, no one would've bought it otherwise and okay, people started liking the writing later, but it's that first look that catches your eye what really makes the book.

TODAY'S MOMENT OF UNREPENTANT CHEESE IS BROUGHT TO YOU TWILIGHT AND ITS CHEESIER THAN CHEESE VAMPIRES.

( Er... vague spoilers? Mostly pure LOL, though )

HAHAHAHAHA OH MAN I CAN'T STOP I'M LAUGHING TOO HARD. XDDD

EDIT: ( And with you, today's SECOND MOMENT OF UNREPENTANT CHEESE )

LOL LOL LOL

Er, I probably should stop mocking the book and actually finish it, shouldn't I?

It's actually kinda sad how the highlight of my day was going out for a facial. Urgh. I really have to get out of this house, but I know that my friends would probably invite my ex if we go out (that with the nasty thing about us hanging out with the same group of people, you see), and I really don't want to see him right now so I'm kinda ignoring the ENTIRE group. Er. And my high school friends (i.e. the ones that don't know him) are nowhere to be seen. My excuse is that in three weeks time school starts again and my schedule's so tight I'll barely have time to breathe, so. I kinda do miss school a bit. I don't miss waking up early in the morning, though.

( I made (yet more) cupcakes today! )

In other news, I finally picked up the book I'd abandoned when Deathly Hallows came out, El Amor En Tiempos de Cólera (Love in the times of cholera) by Gabriel García Márquez, and after hours of reading about corny, cheesy vampires, it just made it painfully obvious how badly written Twilight is, lol. (I told my mom how I was reading this really BAD but really FUNNY book and she laughed lots and lots when I told her the highlights of the book XD I'm reading the trilogy anyway, because I could seriously use the laughs.)
