As much as I think Rob is total hotness personified, I am so SICK of hearing about Rob & Kristen.  Every where I look, it's Rob & Kristen.  Anytime they interview other actors of the Twilight series all they ask is, "What do you think about Rob & Kristen?"

Who fucking cares?

I don't give a rats ass if they're dating or not.  I wish the media would lay off of this topic just a little.  Plus I feel embarrassed and offended for the other actors because they're not even being interviewed and asked about themselves anymore.  They're just being asked about their opinion about this maybe couple.

Please, no more Rob & Kristen or Robsten.

p.s. I think my work colleague is officially crazy.  Not only has she stalked the cast all over downtown and even onto sets, she's taken dozens of photos of them.  She even hoofs it downtown after work at least twice every week in the hopes of running into them and getting even more photos.  I think she's stalked them so much they're starting to remember her.  LOL.

p.p.s. on another note, my friend posted a photo took this past week of her daughter and her nieces and nephews and Vanessa Hudgens.  It made me laugh because BBV totally blended in the the little group of Filipino faces.  I'd post the photo but it isn't mine to post.

p.s. Is it just me or is anyone else turned off by Chase Crawford's man-prettiness?

Had a totally fabulous day today.  I saw my besties James and Adrian and my other friend, Donna.  We had brunch at a great cheap little cafe just off Main & Broadway.  It was great to see James and Adrian again since, as I've mentioned before, we haven't really been all together since before Francisco died.  Of course, the topic of convo strayed to Paco since we were all friends with him.  We all agreed that we all only knew different facets/sides of him.  Adrian had an idea for a screenplay sort of based on this topic and the funny thing is the little novel that I'm trying to work on is also loosely based on this idea.

After brunch we all said our goodbyes and James and I took off downtown to do a little walking tour.  It was fabulous since I haven't really walked around downtown since forever.  Did a little tour of H-mart a Korean/Japanese food market and bought some mango ice pops.  Walked down Robson and went to Japadog which is basically a hotdog cart parked in front of the Sutton Place hotel.  Not sure if this is where are the cast of Eclipse are staying but nonetheless, didn't see any of them around.  Sort of disappointed I didn't spot any of them but there were a lot of people walking around Robson so who knows, I'm pretty oblivious.

We decided to walk down to the new Vancouver Convention Centre.  Saw a little park by Coal Harbour that I never knew about.  It was basically where the dock for the Harbour Planes was.  Okay here's where it gets interesting:  so James and I were walking through the park and up the steps to the convention centre.  We're chatting away when I spot this lady in a blue dress and a little fedora looking hat and knee-high boots trying to herd her two boys who were trailing along behind her.  As we got closer, I shut up and began to get excited.  I recognized her!  It was fucking Ricki Lake!!!  I leaned over James and harshly whispered, "That's Ricki Lake!"  I think I ended up making eye contact with her.  Don't know if she heard me.  James says, "Nooo.  That's not Ricki Lake.  Isn't she fat?"  I say, "No.  She lost a lot of weight.  She's skinny now."  I mean a person can lose or gain weight but their face always stays the same.  So as she's going down the steps (and we're going up), I wait until she's passed us and is far enough away before my brain sort of clicks and I tell James to whip out his camera and take a picture of her (at this time I'm sort of jumping up and down, albeit quietly).  We stop and lean on the guard rail, looking down at the path below.  I tell James that I think that they're boarding the seaplanes and waited until they came around the buildings and saw them almost below us before he took the pic.  Told him to hurry up because I didn't want us to be so obvious and have her notice us. 

It was so funny because James didn't really know her other than the fact that she had that talk show in the 90's.  I told him that I loved her in Hairspray and I really liked the documentary she produced.  He says, "she was in Hairspray?" and I say, "Yeah.  It was when she was still fat.  She was so awesome in it."  He asked me why I didn't say anything to her and I told him it was because she was with her kids and I didn't want to interrupt them.  I might be a fan but I'm still a courteous fan.  Plus I'm super duper shy at approaching people.

So after this we continued our little walking tour and went inside the new convention centre.  It was so cool inside.  It was huge and everything had exposed wood.  The interior design was fabulously modern and yet so very west coast. 

Oh I forgot to mention that since the International Police & Fire Games were still going on and the medal site was at the convention centre, we saw several hotties from different countries.  We also saw 2 wedding parties getting their photos taken on the promenade at the VCC.

Overall, it was a fantastic day spent with a very good friend.  It was also awesome playing tourist in my own city and getting a day off/away from work, baby, and hubby.  It felt good to be me again. :D
 

The Vamps are decending on Vancouver once again.  I've got an appointment downtown tomorrow.  I wonder if I'll be fortunate enough to run into one of them.  Mind you I probably won't even notice unless I run smack dab into them.  I'm oblivious like that.

I need to find some older Twi-friends.  I can't share this obsession at work.  It's jut plain embarrassing.
 

Just saw on my flist a post about the Twilight crew once again coming into town.  As much as I love the actors (and the novels) and the revenue it brings into my city, I am so not looking forward to the crazy twihards.  I just kind of wish the actors would get a little bit of breathing room so that they could enjoy this fine city that I live in.  Alas, I don’t think they’ll get that chance, what between the paparazzi hounding them and the crazy fans screaming and asking for hugs, it’s not surprising they’re not really enjoying themselves.

 On a bright note, it’s PRIDE week in Vancouver.  Yeehaw!  My bff is in town with his partner and we are going down to Shine on Sunday night to shake our booties.  I am really hoping that the gods of fate and good fortune shine on me and I’m able to get a babysitter for my little guy since I haven’t gone out dancing in 3 years!!  Mommies are allowed to have their fun too right?  Contemplated making my way down to Davie village but it’s going to be CRAZY and really I’d rather not risk getting my toes crushed by some queen’s stiletto.  I think Gastown will be just as good.  They’ve got some old school going at the club part of Shine.  I love me some old school.

 Just got off the phone with my other bff, Adrian.  Totally opposite of James (other bff).  Apparently, he’s having a party on Sunday and he says that “it’s going to be off the hook!”  Gah.  I don’t know what to do.  I really just want to stay in town and party with James but I haven’t seen Adrian since the last time we went out just after my wedding back in 2006.  Also, Adrian lives in Squamish which is like an hour away near Whistler and I don’t feel like fucking driving up there when I can hang out in town with James.  What to do, what to do?  Plus this will be the first time the 3 of us have been together since Francisco died.  Gosh, it’s starting to sound like some twisted plot to a fanfic or at least some chick lit novel.  Being a hag is hard!
