Twilight, Travel, and Treats

So this is the original Isle Esme photo that Summit released on Valentine's Day

I didn't really like it. It's gloomy looking and not romantic.

So isn't this better?

I ended up making iPhone and iPad versions for myself so thought I'd share them with you. Threw in a Blackberry one too!

I can't wait to see what it looks like in the film!

It's Honolulu Girl's birthday today!

As you can guess the phrase in the title is Hawaiian for Happy Birthday - I have no idea how to pronounce it and I'm not sure if HG/Suzie does either given what a Cali girl she really is.

Us at First Beach La Push - gorgeous day!

Remember that Suzie was my Forks trip roomie? We met through her blog True Blood Twilight a year ago. I am so happy to have met such a kindred spirit in this Twilight blogosphere. If it weren't for us sticking it out together in the small town we probably would have run screaming to the nearest Four Seasons. We clicked from the get go and I'm forever grateful that she convinced me to join her.

This girl is busy - she's got her regular blog True Blood Twilight


plus a film review blog I Adore Books and Film that she shares with her teenage daughter.


She's also a writer of very hot fanfiction

Cinderella: A Tale of Lust



Enchantment

Le Moulin Rouge

She has a regular day job but her real passion is writing and film. She's now writing film reviews in Inside Out Hawaii magazine. Also who can forget her recent extra work on Hawaii 5-0 with the gorgeous Alex O'Loughlin.

Suzie I feel for you with the closed eyes. But we're all looking at the cute guy anyways ;)

Since you're now an iPad addict as well I made you some super simple birthday gifts. Remember I've been going for minimalist recently - finding it easier to look through my iPad apps that way.

With a bit of Bella and Edward from Breaking Dawn

Sorry for not making you a True Blood one but with all the RobPorn on my computer there isn't any space for Alex Skarsgard :)

I will however throw in a pic that someone else made with my little message added :) Thought this desktop was very pretty.


Here are some messages from kiTT at Tongue-Twied

A Pound of Flesh by Jaxon 22

So I'd put off reading this one for a while. Don't ask me why since it's won a shitload of awards. Maybe I was a bit put off by the title (the imagery of an actual pound of flesh in my profession is as real as it gets) even though I know it's in reference to The Merchant of Venice. Or maybe I didn't think I'd like the whole prison love story thing. Edward is an inmate and Bella is his tutor in prison. Turns out Edward knows her from the past. They're both angsty and stubborn - some very hot arguments ensue.

Well, I'm very glad I finally decided to give in and read it. This story has won awards for good reason. It's a serious one but moves at a good pace. The foreplay is intense and once you finally reach the lemons they are hot. Be in for the long burn. It's not complete but I'm still satisfied. For all you English lit buffs out there I think you'll like it. I remember reading The Merchant of Venice in school and if I have to relive it I'm glad it's with PunkAssWard. This story has also inspired me to pull out all the pencil skirts and blouses again. Don't ask me why since I'm not supposed to be sexy in front of patients but the urge to become as sexy as Tutorella is hard to suppress.

I wanted to thank the author Jaxon22 as well. You know how sometimes you read a fic and even the inspirational quote at the top is already poignant? Yeah this is how her writing is. Without even starting to write she's already chosen words to get me thinking. I actually let the quote sink in for a while before starting each chapter and think "well fuck me but that's brilliant."

By the way isn't that banner beautiful? It was nominated for an award as well. It's so steamy I may have to figure out a way to put it on my iPhone without the kids seeing...
