Really and truly, I am absolutely sick to death of hearing about how awful Twilight supposedly is, particularly on Internet forums that (should) have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it. I'd say I'm sick of all the fawning over it as well, except that's just the thing: I never randomly stumble across comments of anyone praising this series or even admitting to merely tolerating this series. If I hear anyone talking about this series at all, either online or IRL, it's invariably to say how much they desperately loathe it and about how much ass it sucks (rounded to the nearest metric fuck-ton) and whatnot. I do not give the single, slightest shit. Seriously. It's to the point that I'm beginning to hate you more than you hate Twilight (if that's even possible without breaking some sort of physical law). I mean, yeah, sure, a simple Google search would probably bring me more mindless gushing over this series than I could ever want or need, but again, the thing with the hating is that I get bombarded with that whether I'm looking for it or not (and trust me, I'm never ever looking for it). Whether I want to hear/read it or not (and trust me, I never ever do, at least not anymore). It's annoying! Stop it! Please!

Oh right, the last movie is coming out soon or something (well, the first half of it apparently). I haven't even bothered to see the previous one yet (even if it does have Jodelle* Ferland in it, since she's probably the only reason I'd ever bother to get around to watching it some day, anyway). I did see the first two, for what it's worth. They got at most a "meh" out of me. Didn't think they were super-awesome, but didn't think they sucked all that horribly either. I don't plan to see this new one in the theaters, any more than I saw any of the others in theaters. Well, anyway, I guess that explains why all the asininity is starting to spike again (although even in the times when I have been blessed by the least amount of daily/weekly/monthly Twilight bashing, it has never fully gone away even then). And I guess it'll be the same thing all over again around this time next year as well. Ugh.

Well, that was cathartic. Until next year!

Things like the Humble Indie Bundle are cool. Pay what you want for the games listed, and some portion of the money (that portion determined by you, so it could be all of it) goes to charity.

Things like this seem like blatant scams calculated to ride the coattails of things like the Humble Bundles. (Note that the guy who wrote the RPS article had to be corrected by some of the commenters, because he'd apparently made this sound like a much better deal than it actually is. I don't know what the original wording of the article was, since he'd already corrected it by the time I saw it.)
