Where have we been you may ask????

Well it's been a busy couple of months in the land of Kiffs and Giggles! Kiff and i have been to everything under the sun from Nascar, Disney, Nashville for the CMA Fest and not to mention a few concerts! I will try to catch you up on what we have been doing and hopefully Kiff will be willing to share her stories as well. So here goes lets start back where we left off in May and work our way back to today.

Here goes nothing!!!

Thanks a lot Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton!

from Kiff:

Read Twilight, get addicted, see movie multiple times... See friends, tell them all about it, get them hooked... Talk about anything Twilight and Rob Pattinson for hours.... lol

A lot of you know that cycle... Well, I was on the receiving end of of the "tell your friends about it" about another Vampire series about a month ago... A cool gal by the name of Lee told me alll about the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris at the Eric Church concert last month... I had casually mentioned that she needed to read Twilight and she said that the Sookie series is much better and a lot more "adult"... She said that it was what the show "True Blood" on HBO was based on... My friend at work had told me about the TV show earlier this year (Thanks A!) :) So, I decided to check it out.... I jumped head first into ordering the entire book series and....

THAT'S WHERE I HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS... on my couch, on the bed, in the bathroom, in the car.... DEVOURING these books...

Thanks a lot Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton... (and Eric and Sam)... You make me want to keep reading... reading to smile, get mad, sigh, get intruiged and of course laugh and smile some more... and AAAAAA another vampire series to be addicted to! lol

Now don't get me wrong, I love Edward Cullen tons... But, Bill Compton.... mmmmm well, let's just say... ohhh yeah! :) Sookie is an awesome character and she is much more personable and likeable than Bella in my opinion... I just relate to her more, I guess... (But Breaking Dawn Bella is kinda cool... I actually like her in that book... in the other books, she is too whiney for my taste)

So, once you read the Sookie series, ya kinda get tempted to see what the True Blood show is all about... Well, with the help of youtube... You see that it is based on the books, but over sexified and violenceified... (I think I just made up a word... lol) Nonetheless, it kinda did what the Sex and the City show did... Took a book concept and the characters and changed a lot, but made it a cool show in it's own right (Note: I did not like the Sex in the City book at all... but I loved the show) True Blood at first didn't catch me since I did not know a lot of the backstory.. but now as I read, I am watching some clips and I like what I see... I just had to get over the sexified, violenceified stuff... lol Did I mention that many of the guys on the show are hot as well? lol and Stephen Moyer, who plays Bill, is English just like Rob Pattinson.... Is that a requirement to be a hot Vampire in the acting world nowadays? Check out this clip for Season 2 which starts in June... I am buying Season 1 on Blu-Ray soon... woo hoo Bill in High Definition... Boom Chicka Wow Wow :) hehehehe




Oh well, back to reading... Just bought the 9th book in the Sookie Stackhouse series today (it came out yesterday) but I am on book 6... I gotta see what happens with Sookie and Bill (I want them back together in the worse way! lol) :)

Caption Contest! Peter Facinelli and Kellan Lutz Reading New Moon Book Pic

from Kiff:

Oh my, my, my... The more I hear about these two, the more I like them... They seem hilarious and sweet... From Kellan sneaking up on people and pretending to be a ninja at last Tuesday's 100 Monkeys show to Peter giving having a driver stop so he could give girls that waited out in the cold for them hugs... They are making me like them as much as Jacksper and Rob! lol This picture is perfect.... The only thing that is missing is a funny caption... I have one in my brain, but I want to see what giggles comes up with... What say you giggles? hehehe Let me know what ya think... :)

Twilight Cast Fan Encounters- A lot this week! Fans meet Robert Pattinson and crew.. :)

from Kiff:

Well, since I read TwiCrack daily for Twilight news I cannot help but notice that a ton of people in Vancouver met the cast this week... Even Twicrack herself met a lot of the cast at Jacksper's 100 Monkeys show last week... But nonetheless, here is a compliation of a lot of the fan encounters that happened this week:

Vancity Allie

This girl's site is slammed because of all of her awesome pictures that she has up on her site.... Her site may be slow or not working, keep trying... She seems to be a very cool chica... :) Here is a sample pic of what she saw:

Hmmm, I love the Cullen color palette... The black, the greys, the blues... Love it, love it, love it and can't wait to see the movie! :)

MaliciousMandy

This girl met Robert last night at a club in Vancouver and even got to see him that morning at the set location with VancityAllie... She is also a pretty cool chick.... I would probably be like she was when she met Rob... I guess that she told him that he makes her nervous and he was like... "I get nervous too!" lol Yeah, you get nervous Rob because there are like hundreds of hungry ladies all around vying for your attention and you probably feel like an animal at the zoo... We get it, we know, we understand... But, this is your time my dear, and you are rocking a lot of people's worlds right now... lol

Here is Mandy meeting Robert:
TwiCrack Addict

Here is TwiCrack's story of meeting a lot of the Twilight cast last Tuesday at Jacksper's 100 Monkeys show... I think that this picture right here is my favorite from the whole week... It is 100 Monkeys' Banager LOL Too funny... :)


It's fun seeing everyone's pics and stories and hearing how nice the cast is... Everyone so far has said how gracious they all are, but I am especially surprised to hear how Peter Facinelli actually made their driver stop as they were leaving the Cullen house set to tell the girls thanks for being so supportive and he gave them hugs... I also hear that Jackson is exceptionally gracious and sweet and that makes me even love him more... I mean... "Just look at that punim" as Dr. Evil would say....
Well, that is all I have for now... Until next time.... :)

Eric Church @ Charlotte and New David Cook

from Kiff:

Well, it was an interesting night for us last night, that's for sure... :) I will let giggles fill ya in on the details of the Eric Church concert last night... Since he didn't get on until 11:15 pm, I did not get to see much since hubby had to get home to get some sleep for work... :( Waaahhhh, I did not get to see "Carolina" played live... Ohhhhhh well, I am sure that I will make another show sometime... :) Dave Matthews is next week... woo hoo Hopefully, we will not have drunk people slamming into us at that show....

Speaking of music... I love me some David Cook... He has a new video out called "Come Back to Me".. The concept of the video is pretty cool.... Check it out and until next time... Take care.. :)

Never Think Thursday Part 2

Well as you know Kiff has been a little bored without me the past week. She has gone off the Twilight deep end!! HAHA jkjkjkjk. Thought I better post something to break things up a bit, but then again who can't get enough of Mr. Pattinson these days:)! You may not have know, but I took an unexpected trip back home. Let's just say it was a very emotional trip. It started out good and went south from there. I hit an ECB show in the great state of Illinois. Wanted to meet up with some old friends, but it didn't pan out. Two of them had to back out of the show one was not expecting me to be there, the other car trouble. I had fun anyways but missed them dearly! I have to admit the "Young and Wild Tour" has really gone full circle. Every show gets better and better. I have to say the show last Friday was definitely one of the top 3 I have been to so far and I have been to a few ;) hahaha! I really enjoy taking pictures and being out on the road listening to great bands and music. It is the one place I can go to forget my problems for a few hours. Without it I would probably go insane. I will post some pictures of the Chicago show soon. I am getting ready to hit my second ECB show with my best bud Kiff tomorrow in Charlotte, so be sure to check out our review which will be up soon after the show. Hers will probably be up first, as I am thinking of hitting the Greenville show on Saturday. Oh by the way hey C, (you know who you are;)) glad to see you found me!

Til Sunday~ Giggles:)

Never Think Thursdays- Funny How to Be Video Clip

from Kiff:

Since it is Never Think Thursday, I tried my hand at trying not to think today and it really didn't work since I had to go back to work... Alas, I was able to come home and unwind and found a new How to Be clip on Robsessed... I have liked what I have seen so far with How to Be, but after this clip I new that I would really love the movie.... It just makes me laugh because of the way that Rob (aka Art) says... "Shut up in your face" to his almost ex-girlfriend in the movie... Oh man, I really lost it and had to laugh because that is the key phrase that is added in almost daily to something said at work... You see last year, "Your Mom is... does... likes..." etc was the key phrase of the year... This year (started by the same person at work, of course) the phrase of choice is "in your face" or something with face as in.....

This was the original started earlier this year...

Meeting Leader: "Hey guys, the faster we get this done, the sooner we get out of here.."
Co-worker: "Yeah, all of you shut your face so we can get this stuff done..." (big smile)

or

Co-worker #1: "Whoa, they just slammed that door."
Co-worker #2: "Yeah, I'll slam that door too.... IN YOUR FACE" (crazy laugh)

Aaaahhhh stress relief can come in many forms.... Here is the character of Art (played by Rob Pattinson) in How to Be's version of "in your face".... lol Enjoy!




If you are interested in the How to Be soundtrack (yes, Rob does sing on it a few songs)... Click here for the link... I ordered two.... One for me and one for giggles... If I win a cd with a Rob Pattinson autograph in it, uhhh we will have to share it giggles... But, what if the autographed copy says... "Dearest Kiff... you must give this to giggles Love, Rob" Hmmmm, I might have to tell him "Shut up in your face" LOL Have a good one... :)
