Twilight, Travel, and Treats

Remember that I went to the Twilight Convention and met Peter Facinelli and Catherine Hardwicke? That was months ago and it took a while for me to actually get the photos. Here they are:

My best friend MK is on the other side of the celebrity but figured even though I've outed myself on this blog she doesn't need to (yet!).

Another squeal moment - look what I got through auction last month?


Autographed Rob stuff is a lot cheaper if it isn't Twilight related. One of the least expensive items I own and it came through a very reputable dealer. Yeah!

Yes, I'm procrastinating but I swear my Volterra and Montepulciano posts are coming.

So despite all the pleadings of my bloggy friends I didn't drop all my patients for the day and hang out at Vancouver Airport. Once again, here is Rob leaving Heathrow. I am personally okay with the jacket because I forgive everyone for their clothing choices when they visit the Pacific Northwest. It can be freakin' miserable cold and rainy one moment and then a beautiful sunny day the next.

Everyone seems to hate on the puffy jacket. (from Popsugar)

There was talk of re-shooting some meadow scenes that might have some sound interference but apparently those were just with Bella and Jacob. I am glad that today was sunny for them but wonder if they were expecting it. Unlikely since Eclipse looks exceptionally dark and twisty. Maybe they'll have to stay longer to wait for the rainy gloom.

Update - thanks to Twired Jen for reminding me to check my regular Vancouver celebrity sighting blogs that are posting more pics and info. Of course they post after the location is done with as to not raise all hell.

Happy to finally see some photos that he has arrived in town. The ones on Popsugar are non descript at best but at least we can identify that there is a Vancouver Police officer with him.

Once again, torn between wanting to know where he is so I can throw him in the back of my SUV ask him politely to sign my guitar (as suggested by Dangrdafne) and just leaving him alone so he can be in peace.

Yeah for MK offering to come with me this week to check out the Vancouver sights (eg. set stalk). I have the day off on Thursday sweetie so let's make it a date. Darn the kids and all their sports though, maybe I can take them with me instead...

Speaking of kids, my good friend BB gave my children a book yesterday. Apparently she was at a fundraiser for kids where they were selling gently used toys and books. Of all the things she could have bought them you know what she surprised them with?


Anyone recognize this book?

Yes, it's actually been on this blog already on my Remember Me props for sale post.

Get the f*ck out - same book!

Seriously. BB is not a twihard and I doubt she has ever heard of Remember Me. Yet of all the books in the world she could have bought for me (well for the kids originally) she chose that one.

I even remember during Remember Me when Tyler gives Caroline the book I think - what an awesome book, my boys would love it. Oh isn't that sweet that he's passed on something so meaningful.

Squeals with hugs and kisses to BB (yes, honey I made you read my blog and scroll all the way through a post - have you thrown up yet?) for being an intuitive sweetheart.

I hate to say it though - the book mysteriously disappeared off my sons shelf and magically ended up in my Twilight vault :)

Hoping for more Rob Vancouver sightings tomorrow...

Since I didn't win the Rob Pattinson autographed guitar I have been looking for something new (or old) of Rob's. You know it makes me feel sad that "everyone wants a piece of Rob" yet I am so guilty of this. I'd be the crazy fan who'd save the napkin that he used in a bar and then put it in the vault.

So, the next big auction at icollector.com has a few pieces of Remember Me memorabilia. I didn't care before but now that I have finally seen the movie I am stoked.

What's up for auction? Click here for the full list.

Things I'm considering

Fugly backpack

The dreaded backpack that made Rob look "like he was 8" according to Mrs. P.

Still fugly even on Rob

Next up

Seriously it's just a T shirt

worn here

I love how the tag says "Big Rob" - as if we needed any proof

Anyone want to know his clothing sizes?

Someone has already bid on this outfit:

I can't get myself to outbid the $400 as the fake blood just grosses me out.

More clothing (I'm not convinced he actually wore this specific shirt as another one sold a few weeks ago - same item and that one said screenworn)

looks plain enough

but what if he wore it here?

Lastly,


Tempting as it is to buy the screen used fire extinguisher Rob actually threw through the window, I think that Mr. TC would probaby throw it out of the house. Seriously. I mean the shipping alone would be crazy. Could you imagine if I kept it in the front hall or something?

So, the question at the end of this is - how much do you think Rob's sweat is actually worth? According to someone it's at least 400 bucks for that bloody outfit. I'm sure some of you are going "eeww, gross" while others are secretly thinking "hmm, I wonder what it's like to lick him."

Auction starts May 1st - what would you get?

On a separate note, I've got new Twilight wallpapers for you over at Twi-Mobile. I've just started an archive of Twilight wallpapers for iPhone and will be adding that plus a Twilight apps section.
Blackberry users don't despair. I sense that some Twilight wallpapers are coming your way as well but I need to know what models you have.
Anyone with another type of phone wanting Twilight wallpapers too? Let me know what kind of phone you have and we'll we what we can do.

Leave me some love!

This post is not about Mrs. Pattinson (that's Twibite's territory) but it does relate to Rob's Mom. I'll get there, just stay with me...

Unlike the rest of you out there I did not rush out to go see Remember Me. I waited until the absolute last possible moment to succumb to the guilt and finally gave in. I was lucky to have my good friends MK and Mrs. R join me at the only place that was still running the movie this week. My suspicions were that if we didn't see it this week then we'd be waiting for the DVD. Of course, I'll buy it anyways...

I did NOT see the Chinese version (pic courtesy of Thinking of Rob)

Most of you have seen it so I'm not going to rehash the plot and for those of you who haven't I'm not going to spoil it for you.

First of all, this movie was a wake up call.

Up until last night I viewed myself as a Robward fan and frankly, embarrassingly, had not seen Rob in anything else other than Twilight except for his brief role as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. I was prepared to be disappointed just because I was worried I'd notice his terrible New York accent and that he might be a bad actor.

Well I was really impressed by Remember Me. Rob proved to me that he is a good actor and that he is just being held back by a poor screenplay in the Twilight Saga. I'm sure many of you knew this already and never doubted him but I had to see it for myself.

Things of note in Remember Me:

Did anyone notice in the fancy restaurant dinner scene how strangely he holds his fork? Check out the video below at point 1:11. Maybe it's just because he's British (or possibly gay)? It was so odd that I don't remember the dialogue but just kept staring at his fingers.

Today there were new Remember Me stills posted by Confessions of a Twicrack Addict. I've seen the trailer many times and yes I'm looking forward to it. But then I did a double take at this photo.

New hot, Old hot

Do you remember Remington Steele?

Let me refresh your memory.



I used to adore Pierce Brosnan. It was a puppy dog love. I was so young that I don't think I knew what a peen was. He was the first man I'd watched on TV who had an accent. Mysterious, handsome, arrogant, smart-ass. All the features of the ideal man to lust after but not to love. The day they canceled that show I thought my heart would stop. I didn't understand the feeling. It's the same one I got when they finished filming Eclipse here. Empty.

I had forgotten just how long ago this must have been. They fact that I am now married with two kids and have a career (plus I know what a peen is), did not seem to affect my perception of time. This photo puts it into a bit of perspective. Yes, the 80's were a long time ago.

Laura Holt - back then this hair was okay

Pierce stayed pretty hot through the 90's and for most of this century too.

Even with his role in Mamma Mia, not including the singing (if you can call it that), I was happy to see him as a sex symbol but just one from a good vintage.

But now that he is paired with Rob Pattinson in Remember Me and playing Rob's father no less, my love for Pierce is officially dead.

Even if Rob was born in 1986 (I bet you can all remember where you were then) I say out with the old and in with the new. He's legal but not applying for social security yet. That's a good sign.

I'm glad I wasn't paying attention when this Pierce photo came out in 2008.



Not only would I have fallen down dead from the shock but I wouldn't have had this

to pick me up.

Come back tomorrow for FanFic Fridays. It's gonna get hotter every week.
