Belated Eclipse DVD Review

Eyes of Amber — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 21:30:00 +0000

Well, I'd say it's official, the Twi-zealotry is finally winding down. If it took me about a week to watch the entire DVD so I could review it, things are definitely slowing down in the Twilight Universe (at least for me, I guess).

Twilight Halloween 2010 Edition

Eyes of Amber — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 00:22:00 +0000

Clearly, Halloween is the perfect time of year to celebrate our common obsession with all things Twilight. The stuff that's out there might vary from elaborate costume parties to simple makeup tips! Naturally, first of all I went to my favorite creative source - Etsy and this is what some of my favorite sellers had to offer:

"Real Vampires" against Twilight

Eyes of Amber — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:28:00 +0000

Aren't they adorable in their fake zeal? Oh, the things you do for self-promotion...

What's Missing in the Land of Harry Potter?

Eyes of Amber — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 19:28:00 +0000

I highly doubt anybody noticed my absence in the blogosphere this past week, but I was visiting land of milk and honey Disney and Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, aka as home of the new Harry Potter Wizarding World. What can I say?

Where in the World is Stephenie Meyer?

Sorry for missing my "usual" Saturday posting date, "for personal reasons" (*wink-wink), which I'm sure you "could keep up with" (*wink again), but I don't want to bore you with. Anywho... since I was MIA, I was wondering, what is our darling Stephenie was up to these days?

Open Letter to the TwiHaters

The haters, the jokers, the mockers and the teasers... this post is for you!

Isle Esme

Eyes of Amber — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 02:29:00 +0000

In lieu of recent violence in Brazil, which was considered as one of possible shooting locations for part of the Breaking Dawn, I have been thinking of the actual/imaginary palace from BD - Isle Esme. As we all know, it's an fictional island near Rio de Janeiro, owned by Cullen family which was a present from Carlisle to Esme.

Wuthering Highs (yes, I mean Highs :))

Eyes of Amber — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 03:38:00 +0000

Yet another confession. I have not read Wuthering Heights. My high school's reading program was slightly different from the one in Forks, WA. So, even though the darn novel was mentioned probably a hundred times in Twilight, I still haven't until now ventured to brave the stormy waters of this classic piece of English literature.

Bel Ami, Mon Chéri...

Eyes of Amber — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 18:19:00 +0000

Nope, I don't speak French, unfortunately... And when I first read Bel Ami, it had a totally different name on the cover, I can almost see it right now-thin black Cyrillic letters - Милый Друг. That's right, I read it in Russian, back then, and again, about a month ago. Little did I know how things will lead me to it again. Romantic teenager (Bel Ami) -> romantic adult -> Twilight -> RPattz -> Bel Ami. See? I've made a full circle :) But enough personal history, let's set up the mood and get back to the source. (turn on some french music below, if you please).

Dreaming of Twilight

The Things that Twilight Changed

Sorry for posting so late, busy weekend in RL :)

My 3 Eclipse Cents (non-spoilery)

In the Eye of the Beholder

Eyes of Amber — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 22:46:00 +0000

I would imagine, most (or at least a lot) of the fans read the books before first of the Twilight movies was out. We closed our eyes and imagined the gorgeous boy with pale features, reddish hair and golden eyes.

Let's Play a TwiGame

Eyes of Amber — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 01:52:00 +0000

Ok, ladies and gents. I'm not feeling particularly creative or chatty tonight, so why don't we do something completely different?! While the TwiUniverse is buzzing with news about Breaking Dawn, everybody is counting days to Eclipse and New Moon is becoming Old News by the minute... I suggest we go back to the beginning, the good old Twilight. As some of you might know, I made party kits for 3 of the books and today I give you a game from my very first twi-inspired party kit. Here's how you play.
