Vampires are ruling my life



Those of you who've had a conversation with me either in person or through e-mail over the past month or so know that my new obsession is with the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Myer.

After finishing book one in about 3 days I ripped through "New Moon" and "Eclipse" in record time (for me). "Breaking Dawn" wasn't as fabulous as the first three installments in my opinion, but still I managed to devour it in about a week (I paced myself because I didn't want it to end).

Just when the depression was starting to set in over the fact that the adventures of Edward and Bella were over for me (at least until the release of the movie) I came across a manuscript (on Stephenie Myer's site) called "Midnight Sun." It's basically the beginning of "Twilight" told in Edward's voice. OMG I just love it. The story behind this partial draft is that someone close to Meyer leaked a copy to the Internet. Tisk tisk.

She was pissed.

The sound track for the movie is also posted on Meyer's site. I don't know how pleased I am about it (ahem, Linkin Park?!) Well, here's the official track listing courtesy of www.stepheniemyer.com:

Muse — Supermassive Black Hole
Paramore — Decode
The Black Ghosts — Full Moon
Linkin Park — Leave Out All The Rest
MuteMath — Spotlight (Twilight Mix)
Perry Farrell — Go All The Way (Into The Twilight)
Collective Soul — Tremble For My Beloved
Paramore — I Caught Myself
Blue Foundation — Eyes On Fire
Rob Pattinson — Never Think
Iron & Wine — Flightless Bird, American Mouth
Carter Burwell — Bella's Lullaby

Maybe it's just because I've been listening non-stop to this group called Band of Horses, but I thought a couple of their tracks would have been perfect for the soundtrack. The music is sexy, sad and ethereal.

Anywho, 2008 is turning out to be a good year for immortals like the Cullens and Bill Compton. What's with the sudden obsession with vampires, though?

Also, I bet you can guess what I'm going to be for Halloween...
