could be with some friends from Southern California. They are my dear friends Melanie & Lin with their awfully cute daughter Norah. (Picture on right. Norah at feeding time. Sorry, I'm still getting used to the camera.) I can't, but feel happier when I see this kid. She is the cutest thing ever. I'll have you know; the Wilde's Christmas card is still my wall paper at work. It's good every day to start the day with a smile. It was fun to be with good friends. Also attending were Aaron, Jason, & Mel Led. We all haven't been together since "The Best Damn Fireworks" '06. We met at Mel Led's penthouse apartment over looking the city. Mel took Soffe & I for a tour of the place. I was secretly looking for Kyle Korver. The newest member of the Utah Jazz. I know Mel was hoping for a sighting as well. (He's got 2 more years on his contract. Mel, there's still hope.) Mel made veggie lasagna & I brought down salad, Atwood's Ranch Dressing (Best EVER!), & Crumb Bros. Bread. Fun times were had by all.I just finished the book Twilight. I have to say my official review is "MEH." It wasn't the greatest book I've ever read, but it wasn't the worst. To me, it really wasn't that entertaining. It read pretty fast which I liked , but there were things that bugged me. I think the thing that did it was Bella's absolute obsession with Edward especially the eyes.
Enough with the eyes, I know they're golden. I guess they showed what state he was in. Another thing is the Star Trek ending. Star Trek: Next Generation was notorious for having conflict beaten easily the last ten minutes. It bugs me that Twilight did the very same thing. Nothing... Nothing... Nothing... Conflict... Easily handled. Come on! I guess the book was written for a teenage girl granted, but gimme a break. They aren't dumb or are they? I wouldn't know. I'll read the sequels. I've heard they're better. May be the first one was setting things up. I don't know. I'll find out soon enough. I'll be starting New Moon soon. I've also heard through the rumor mill that Stephanie Meyer will be rewriting the story from Edward's perspective. I'll have to say that may be the better story, but only time will tell.
Have good week. I've got the next one working up in my head. Until then...

I'm sad to break the news but Twilight is the best of the 3 books. It was only Ok for me too, but mostly because in one chapter Edward wore a turtleneck with a leather jacket which is a bit flamey to me.
He is perfect to Bella but wait until she finds out he's gay. It will be a disappointment all of us ladies are used to.
Uncle Tommy! I keep checking your blog for updates and imagine my happy surprise at finding a new post with my darling girl's messy face looking out at me! We weren't even all the way down the street driving away from Mel's penthouse suite when Lin and I were both commenting on how much we missed our cute friends already. You really are the bomb (.com).
I have to give the Twilight series a big "meh" as well. Not a thumbs up or down, but kind of to the side.
That WAS good times. I miss those Wildes already. Still no Kyle sightings, but I'm still keeping an eye out.
About Twilight...I thought it was cute, but I still don't understand why every girl is so in love with Edward. 1) He's creepy! Climbing in her room at night, watching her sleep and listening to her talk in her sleep??!!?? That would be the end of it for me and 2) He's cold. Who wants to cuddle up with an ice cube?
