elisi's humble abode

All this talk about Twilight made me go back and dig up a few old recs, because they're AWESOME! (I'm presuming you're all familiar with cleolinda and stoney321's posts, as well as Buffy Vs. Edward. These are gems that might have slipped past you.)

'Review' (in comic book style) by tkp. If you have time for nothing else, please check this one out, it's hysterical. (This one had the girls in *stitches*. Why yes, I've done my best to make them as biased as possible!)

Chapter-by-chapter summary by shinga. Like reading the book, but much, much faster. And much, much funnier! (Example: BELLA: Oh look Edward is staring at me in a creepy manner and laughing for no discernible reason. He’s hot.)

Sparkle Time by e_transitions. BEST VID EVER OMG! *flails* It expertly pokes fun at the story (whilst re-writing it!), is very innovative in its editing AND laugh-out-loud funny. (Song: Mahna Mahna. Oh yes!)

And then, because it's extraordinary, this vid:

Sunburn by obsessive24. Takes Twilight the Movie and shows what it *could* have been. Exquisite, dark and compelling. Makes you cry for the wasted potential.

The Sarah Jane Adventures returned today. :) The girls (obviously) adore the show, and I must confess to being rather fond of it too, watching purely for the awesomeness of all the characters! ♥ (No, I have no actual thoughts, but it was all lovely. If you want to talk about it, please do!)

I also decided to update my layout, since kathyh has been so kind as to make me a new banner. I had this very specific idea, and she managed to capture it perfectly! \o/ It kinda encapsulates a lot of my thoughts and feelings about S5, as well as the overarching themes in Moffat's writing, and I love it to pieces. Still not quite sure about the colour scheme - it's a bit too lilac, I think, but I can fix that later. (If anyone wants to snag the banner, please do. Just credit Kathy! It is also available in blue & pink as well as Black and white.)

ETA: Does anyone else change their gmail theme so it matches with their LJ layout? Or is that just me...
