100 days until the beginning of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. People are starting to get excited, which is a nice change from all the complaining that's been prefacing the games so far. Le sigh.

Also, add me to the count of people on your flist considering doing Yuletide for the first time this year. The poly-fandom nature of it suits my mood as a rudderless fangirl without an active (that is, airing new episodes, because BSG fandom is still kicking) fandom.

These pics from Harper's Bazaar of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson convinced me to pick up and try to finish Breaking Dawn. I've read the other three and started BD but could never get past the wedding. Gah. I've 120 pages in and Bella leaving Charlie and Renee kills me. I know it's not meant to, but it does. Also, I'm not surprised exactly that Bella and Edward's wedding night cuts to black, but at the same time I may have shouted "COME ON" when it happened. I mean, COME ON.

Eee, love the Winter Olympics! Recently someone asked me where the next Olympics was being held, and I said "Vancouver," and she said, "No, I mean the real Olympics." HOW DARE YOU, SIR!

The honeymoon scene in BD is some of the most disturbing imagery I can imagine for a tweener story (especially taking into account that Bella is both emotionally and sexually inexperienced) not to mention convinces me that Bella/Stephanie is a few slices short of a loaf. The morning after her wedding night she awakens from what is alluded to as unconsciousness, not sleep, not post coital bliss. She finds that she is marked, bruised and scratched from head to toe. The pillows are torn apart and a huge piece of the headboard is ripped away. She has basically been mauled. Bella after taking this all in declares her self "decorated". Okaaaaay!! Most women I know who are not in to rough trade or S&M or something like, that would be looking for a rape hotline. Dedward who at least this time has the good manners to be slightly chagrined at what he has done refuses to indulge Bella again until she is turned. Bella of course gets whiney and berates him for being a buzzkill. I guess still waters run deep huh Steph!
