On the Vampire Bandwagon

I am slightly ashamed, slightly ecstatic to admit that I, PJ Clapp, have now become addicted to the Twilight book saga. I have nearly finished the 2nd, and already ordered the third online from amazon today....... part of me thinks it's terrible that i have got caught up in Twilight hysteria, part of me loves the fact there's something to read to soothe the pain now that Harry Potter has gone forever.

While i have become addicted to Twilight series of books, i am quite proud to delcare that i have not yet seen the movie, and don't intend to. On a flight back from Australia earlier this year, i started watching it about 19 hours into my flight, and promptly fell asleep within 11 minutes of watching it, only to awake with the credits rolling down the screen. There has only been one other occasion i can recall when i have been able to successfully sleep on a plane, and that was after about 7 minutes of watching 'Moulin Rouge' again, i awoke only a couple of hours later to the credits on the screen. So i guess you can say that i don't much care for the movie 'Twilight', then again, now that i've read the book and know what's going, i might understand what the hell is happening this time.

Speaking of the movie Twilight, I was fortunate enough to be given the DVD of 'How to be' directed by Oliver Irving, which stars Robert Pattinson. Now while i'm a Twilight fan, i'm not in the category of 'Robert Pattinson' fan, and from what i can understand, i must be the only one out there who DOESN'T find this guy amazingly attractive, and when i saw him as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter, i kinda wanted to punch him... i'm not sure what it was about him, but i felt rather hostile toward him. This was all before i had watched 'How to be' of course. This movie has totally changed the way i see him, and while i'm still not going to call myself a hardcore fan, I do now appreciate him as a good actor, and would love to see him in more comedy roles from now on, as opposed to the pale-faced, dark and serious movies.

I urge everyone to get a copy of 'How to be' Definitely one of the best and funniest movies i've seen this year.

Peace and Vampires,

I love White

Ahhh, that pivotal moment that happens at the start of every June, the Isle of Wight festival, the moment you realise that the Music Festivals have well and truly started. And the moment you really wish you had bought tickets.

Last weekend, my boyfriend and i went to a mate's 'festival' in Wrexham, North Wales. It was the most picturesque place i had ever visited in Britain, like a Beatrix Potter novel, a proper cottage and sprawling lanes and green grass and horses. Although it was a small and make shift festival, we still slept in tents.

This weekend we head to Oceanfest in Croyde Bay, Devon. You can't really call it a music fest though, it's more like just a beach festival, with Jason Mraz and Newton Fawkner in the background. Still, should be nice to kick up my heels in the waves.

This will be the first year that i will not be going to any festivals.... actually might head to see Bruce Springsteen at Hard Rock Calling, but not sure yet. I know it's because i'm going to LA for 2 weeks and need to save my money for Vegas and Mexico, but i still can't help feeling that hollow hole inside me crying a little when i watch the acts on TV and the crowd jumping around, and watching f**king Fearne Cotton introduce them, just adds insult to injury.

Ohhhh, next year my prettys, next year

Peace and Guitars!
