Technology: The iPad 2 Test

Not to complain but I barely have time to read magazines nor watch TV but when I came across this iPad 2, I asked myself - do I have time for this?



My heart is saying yes but my brain says no. If I could share it with Ashton then good but right now all he knows of doing is to bang his palm on gadgets. Steve wouldn't like it.

Joni and Anya got one and they say it is superb. Joni gets to check constellations with it and has downloaded $5 apps since. An iPad 2 almost costs the same as a round fare ticket to Melbourne ack. And what if they release an iPad 3, are iPad owners already crying?

Thing with Apple is they always have an upgrade and fast. Anything I would have bought would have diminished value once the new version is out. Have you taken the iPad 2 self-test and did yourself prescribe a purchase yet?

New Breaking Dawn Still Released!!! I Spy...

Clicky for bigger

The Twilight Saga just tweeted this still. I have not seen this before! I spy the wedding ring, Bella's room, Bella's comforter, an empty cork board, and packing boxes! Looks like someone is getting ready to move out and start her married life! How damn far away is this movie? 196 days-3 hours-26 minutes... Gah!

That Chick Whose Name I Can't Say Lands Lead in Stephenie's "The Host"


I am loving this casting - according to Deadline, Saoirse Ronan has landed the lead role of Melanie/The Wanderer in The Host:
Ronan, the Oscar-nominated star of Atonement, The Lovely Bones and most recently Hanna, will play Melanie Stryder, one of the last humans putting up a fight against an alien species called Souls. These parasites invade human bodies, fuse to each person's consciousness and systematically erase their personalities. Melanie is captured by the aliens and implanted by a Soul called Wanderer, something of a legend because of all of the "hosts" she has attached to on numerous planets. Wanderer's goal is to get Melanie to give up the remaining pockets of humans, but instead the alien finds Melanie to be unique in her unwillingness to surrender her consciousness. Wanderer is so overwhelmed by Melanie's memories and feelings, the alien is driven to reconnect with Melanie's old life.
It's been a while since I read it but would definitely recommend and can totally see Saoirse rocking this role!

Thanks Coral :)

Robert Pattinson Needs a Nap in Australia - Apply as cuddle buddy here:


Aw, all this Water for Elephant promo looks like it's taking its toll on poor Robowski!

Rob and Reese arrived in Australia early today for the latest leg of the movie's tour, which kicked off in NYC followed by Paris, Berlin and London.

As Kristen has puppy-mama custody right now it seems there's a vacancy in the "bear" department, which is maybe adding to Rob's lack of sleep - fake applications accepted below ;)
