Bohemian Musings

My newest addiction…

It’s everything that Twilight lacks. *coughs* :) I was skeptical at first, but it won me over before the end of the first episode.

So I finally downloaded pictures from the Nikon. Meaning I’ve got a ton of blog updating to do…

This summer I started sewing and crocheting. Andy’s cousin Veronica taught me the crocheting. I’ll throw a picture of the snazzy scarf up when it’s finished. Veronica will be proud. Here’s a shirt that I altered from an XXL down to fit me. I tapered it to have a custom fit and be a bit more of a tunic with a punk-esque neckline.

Twilight release party that FanBolt covered in Decatur. (Beth, Nic, Joe, Sara, Jenny, and myself) Don’t we look slick in our shirts? :) Credit to Jenny’s cam for this pic. Remember the girl that took this pic? Her friends and her kept asking to take pictures of us. They were super sweet.

My godson Joshua turned 1.

Saw a rainbow….

Went on a roadtrip with Andy to visit his grandparent’s.

Their farm flooded this summer. It was horrible the amount of destruction… Here’s where the levy broke.

My favorite coffee shop in Quincy.

I went antiquing with Andy’s grandmother, aunt, and cousin. I freaked out when I found glasses (Betty and Barney) that I had gotten from Pizza Hut in 1st grade.

Andy and at the Mark Twain cave…

Round 2 coming shortly!

This was too adorable not to post.

Also, what’s up with his hair?! He’s got to stop touching it… It’s totally bugging me…

Comic Con starts today. The Twilight online press junket is today along with the panel discussion. Today would have also been my interview with them if I had attended and the ABC family afterparty but let’s not dwell on things… *next Emma… next year…*
Here’s a couple pics that have surfaced from Summit’s booth. Everything is still in setup mode. Can’t wait to see the pics that hit the web later tonight… should be good stuff!

Well I got the most painful of the Comic Con emails….  I was offered the chance to interview the cast of Twilight on the 24th. I officially hate my life. I hope they’ll be there next year, because I’m without question doing this next year. No more regrets. This probably just needs to be something I plan to do every year.

I thought the girls might want to see this one. Namely Jenny who’s adoration for the books seems to now mirror my own. :)

I’ll keep you guys posted as more surfaces.

So Jenny sent me a link to the website for the city of Forks today. I thought it was amusing that all the Twilight fans are visiting there now. I was actually there in 2002, 3 years before the first book. We were passing through on our way to the rain forest after coming over from Victoria, BC via ferry.

I thought it was hilarious when I first read the books that the story took place in this middle of nowhere town that I didn’t even have cell reception in. We stayed in a cabin that was surrounded by woods and there was literally nothing in the town. We didn’t see sunlight once while we were there… pretty accurate with the books actually. Not sure how much it’s changed since, but I can’t image it’s changed a lot. The next day we also stopped in LA Push, and we walked along the beach a bit. This was all pre-digital camera days for me. The only digital photos I had from the trip were taken with my video camera… crappy quality. And the rest were taken by my film camera. There’s a ton of those pictures… all at home. I’ll try to get my parents to bring them up this weekend so I can scan some of them. But I have to say it was kind of cool knowing how everything was laid out and actually having been there.

Here’s the only pictures I have on my computer from the that part of the trip.

Forks:

La Push:

I’ll try to scan some of the other ones if I can find them! :)
