My BIG news

So my big news isn't news anymore....I didn't get the job. You want to know WHY I didn't get the job??? Oh because apparently I am a criminal....yup...ME...a criminal!! I Lindsay Murdock have a criminal record for...PARKING TICKETS!!! Yup that's right! Parking tickets! Tickets I never even got!! Since when does that stuff go on a criminal record anyway?? Who doesn't get a job because of parking tickets?!?!? Ugh!!

I'm so mad about it!! I sent in a letter to dispute it so we'll see what happens. Hopefully they'll take them off my record. I seriously never got parking tickets and I never appeared in court for them either. Lame!!

Twilight

Ok so I promised a sort of review. If you haven't seen the movie stop reading now!!

I guess this isn't really a review...more of a what I liked and didn't like about the movie.

Basically....I am in love with Robert Pattinson! I was a huge skeptic when he was cast. He convinced me 100% that he is Edward Cullen. I thought he captured Edwards tortured desire for Bella look perfectly. My favorite was in the Biology room and he first gets a whiff of Bella...classic! Than the look of terror as he saves the day in Port Angeles. Bottom line...Robert...I'm single!!

Kristen Stewart as Bella. She was good, but I've never really been a big fan of hers. But I thought she did a fine job. Enough said.

The rest of the Cullens....Ashley Greene as Alice...Sheer perfectness!!! Jackson Rathbone as Jasper....PERFECT!! Kellen Lutz as Emmett so cute! Nikki Reed as Rosalie....loved her bitchiness! Elizabeth Reaser as Esme surprised me...I like her! and last but not least Peter Facinelli as Carlisle....I absolutly adore this man, the character and the actor. I thought he captured Carlisles compasion and sweetness perfectly.

As for the rest of the cast I really enjoyed everyone of them. But my surprise favorites were Justin Chon and Billy Burke. Justin was hilarious and Billy IS Charlie. He pulled off the awkardness of Charlie and Bellas relationship just how I imagined it.

Oh and Taylor Lautner as Jacob. I think he's cute as a button and I can't wait to see him in New Moon!!

Ok so I loved how closely the book actually stuck with the book. Yea things were changed but I liked the changes. I even liked that they put Victoria at the Prom. My favorite scene was the baseball scene. I didn't want it to end. Oh and the scene where Edward had to suck the venom out of Bella, the combination of the music and mixture of the scenes was beautiful.

What I didn't like about the movie was the F/X with the running. It just seemed too Smallville. I also thought that the beginning was really choppy and rushed. I also wished they would have gone into the Cullen's abilities a little more, they never mentioned Jaspers ability or the fact that Emmett is extra strong.

But I still loved the movie and will see it about 10 more times before it leaves the theatres!! I saw if Friday, Saturday, and I'm going again Monday!!

Now we have New Moon to look forward to!!!

New Moon is being made!!

Hey guys...so I saw Twilight yesterday and LOVED it...there were a few things that kind of bugged me, but not enough for me to hate it. I'm going to see it again with my dad and brother later tonight. So when I get home I'll post a review...sort of review. Anyway reason for my post, the production company that produced Twilight announced today that they will officially be making New Moon. I'm so excited!!! I love having things to look forward to and be excited about. So I'm happy Twilight has done so well that they're going on with the saga!!!

Here's the press release:

SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES TWILIGHT SEQUEL - NEW MOONLos Angeles, CA November 22, 2008 — Summit Entertainment announced today that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW MOON, the second installment of its filmed franchise TWILIGHT, the action-packed, modern day vampire love story. The movie will be based on the second novel in author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series titled, New Moon. The first movie in the TWILIGHT franchise, the self-titled TWILIGHT, arrived in theaters this weekend to sold-out showings.Stephenie Meyer stated, "I don't think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment. I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on NEW MOON."Starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, TWILIGHT tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen, a pale, mysterious classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together...even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical danger when Edward's nemesis comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.source: summit-ent. com

Just call me Bella

I am so accident prone!! So on Sunday at work I slammed my thumb in the kitchen door at work, today I cut myself cleaning the popcorn machine (it's late...did I spell that right?), and than I got hit in the face while I was drinking a soda and the glass made me get a fat lip. Kristina suggested I just start wearing bubble wrap and a helmet to work! I think I agree!!

So not happy!!

Ok so Friday was supposed to be a full day for me. Twilight movie in the morning and than the Celine Dion concert at night. Oh but no...they rescheduled the Celine Dion concert till FEBRUARY. My Aunt Jodi is flying down here on Wednesday for the concert. I feel bad that she spent the money on a plane ticket and she's not going to be able to see what she came for. Ugh...so frustrating!!

Halloween

All the kiddos were SO fun last night. Roxy, Zeke, Ellie, Kaity, Jackson, and Julia were all together for the first time trick or treating we had so much fun!!

Kaity was a devil, Roxy was a Vampire, Ellie was a horse/cowgirl, Zeke was a punk, Jackson was Optimus Prime, Julia was a princess. Ollie and Sam didn't go trick or treating with us but they were SO cute. Ollie was a Bumble Bee and Sam was a puppy.

Me...I was Cruella De Ville, and Oscar was a lobster.




This is the only picture I had of her that wasn't her back!!
