Did Catherine Hardwicke Out Robsten?
Time.com has an article about the Twilight phenomenon. At the end of the article Rob talks about why he wore that damn hoodie all the time in Canada and imprisoned "The Hair" :)But what will be heard all around the world today is the part with Catherine Hardwicke. They interviewed Catherine as part of the article and she talks about casting Robert Pattinson, how it was hard to sell him to Summit and how Kristen told her nothing happened between her and Rob on the first movie....Wait....What?Easy Chocolate Mousse Recipe
I thought I would post recipes once in a while that were easy but could satisfy our craving for chocolate - this sounds pretty tasty. 13 ounces bitter or semisweet chocolate 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 large egg yolks 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 2 tablespoons superfine sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and the butter. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 35 seconds depending on your microwave, and stir to melt completely.Melissa Rosenberg talks New Moon, Edward's Proposal(awww...) and Breaking Dawn
There is a common link between the sparkly universe of Twilight and the sociopath exploits of Showtime’s Dexter, and her name is Melissa Rosenberg. The screenwriter and Emmy-nominated television producer has been juggling the two franchises since 2007, which is when she scripted the first Twilight film from Stephenie Meyer’s novel. Following the film’s enormous success, Rosenberg became Summit’s go-to writer for the series, and she’s since written two sequels including this month's New Moon and next summer's Eclipse.Reception tips and ideas

Liquid Memory: Why Wine Matters: A Review
I was reading the NY Times' book reviews and I came across an interesting review on the book, Liquid Memory: Why Wine Matters by Jonathan Nossiter. (262 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux $26) As background, I would hope that every serious wine drinker has seen Modovino by this time, a movie ostensibly about the world wine trade. if nothing else it is fascinating. I will admit here and now that I am no fan of Robert Parker nor of that other popular wine magazine which seems like it is at every checkout counter. however I dislike them for different reasons. Parker, at very least, knows something about wine, but his mere favorable mention of a given wine has been known to send it soaring. There are many popular examples. The other magazine, which shall go unmentioned, has attempted to manipulate wine drinkers into various drining habits. Not without its merits, especially in areas of travel articles, there is a common joke in the wine trade that when a wine is panned in the magazine, it is said that the winery probably forgot to pay its bill. In any case, I thought this review was a pretty good one, of not only the book but the way in which we find the wine world today, so I am posting it here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Unappreciative Husband
Wow, so I just found this website, and it seems like a fantastic idea! So glad to be here! So, here's my dilemma, and it's a classic one, so I appologize if I'm posting something that gets asked too often. My husband and I have two small children. My husband works and I stay home to raise the kids. It's rewarding, but by no means "fun" or easy! My husband has a challenging job, but is very good at what he does and has become quite successful at his company. He is brilliant, creative, and works very hard to get projects completed quickly and with innovative ideas. I really can not put into words how proud I am of him, and tell him that (maybe too much.) He comes from a family in which both of his parents worked full time, and had hired help around the house most of the time. His mother "does not cook" so they always ate out, and they had a maid, nannies, etc. I guess what I'm tying to say is that he grew up without ever seeing the challenges of a stay-at-home mom in a one-income family. When I became pregnant with our older child, it was a big surprise to us, as we were very young (both 23) and not at all prepared (mentally, financially, etc) to become parents. We decided together that it would be best for me to stay at home with our child(ren) until they were in school. My job would be to take care of the kids during the day, keep everyone fed, and keep the house up. Sounds easy, right??? Again, I really was not prepared for this, and adjusting to motherhood has been challenging for me. Although I would never let our home become dirty, there is rarely a day when it is not messy in some rooms, and although I really ty to stay on top of cooking 3 meals a day, it is REALLY a LOT of work!!! I probably dont end up getting to making dinner more than 3 or 4 times a week. I don't do the TV babysitter thing, so entertaining my children in an educational way every day really becomes tedious after a while. I try to not complain to my husband because as tiring as it is and as boring as it can be, this is my choice, and I can change it at any time. I even ty to thank him every so often for working hard and affording us the opportunity to have me be at home.What genre of music do you most enjoy?
