Happy Fanged Friday, my lovelies!

Here we are again: another week gone by, another vampire to lust over.

(You'd think, MAYBE, at some point, I'd run out of hot dead guys. But fear not!)

This week's Fanged Friday feature is the pensively handsome and oh-so-serious Jasper (Cullen) Hale, also known as Jackson Rathbone.



Oh, Jasper... I like you so much better in the books than in the movies. No offense, or anything, but your barely-able-to-keep-from-killing-schoolchildren look is kind of a cross between "I smelled something bad" and "Alice just kicked me in the groin."

Now, JBonez (JackBone? JaBone? I dunno), on the other hand? YOU I love. If Jason Mraz and Johnny Depp had a lovechild, YOU WOULD SO BE HIM.

Plus, you know I love me a boy vampire in a band. Vampire. Boy.

Vampire. Whatever.

Happy Fanged Friday, everyone!! Have a great weekend!!

The Valentine's Day Dilemma.

As some of you know, my wedding anniversary happens to be VERY close to Valentine's Day (as in it's February 10).

Hubs and I have been married for almost 3 years now, and together for almost 5, but I think the only "real" Valentine's day celebration we had was year one. The last few years, Hubs we've just cooked at home and had a mellow night.

(No gifts, even. I always insist on a card but that's about it.)

(Which is SERIOUSLY monumental. Especially cuz Hubs is an extravagant gift-buyer on every other occasion. Yo, Marc Jacobs? You owe me a beer, bro.)

Anyhoodle.

People are always surprised when they ask me what we're doing for Valentine's day and I reply "Not much," but honestly, I regard V-Day with the same disdain I reserve for New Year's Eve: it's amateur night.

Hubs would take me out to dinner if I wanted to go. But usually on Valentine's Day, you encounter the dreaded Prix Fixe menu, which reduces your meal down to overcooked "house specialties" served by waiters who would rather hurl themselves off a cliff than be working this particular night.

(I know this for a fact because I used to be one of those servers.)

Hubs would buy me flowers if I wanted them. But every time I bring a real plant into my house, my cats fall all over themselves trying to be the first to ingest it, and then I spend February 15th intermittently cleaning up projectile vomit with rose petals in it.

(Too bad it doesn't SMELL like roses anymore.)

Hubs would buy me presents. In fact, the man LIVES to buy me presents. But then I have to add ANOTHER occasion in which I have to find him a gift that he will not eventually take back, and I just don't want to do that to myself.

(I'm not kidding. He's thisclose to taking back the stereo I got him for Christmas. Wait. For. It.)

So there you have it. We don't really "celebrate" Valentine's Day. We prefer to go out to dinner and exchange gifts four days before, on our anniversary, when there are no crowds, no Prix Fixe menu, and no overpriced bouquets.

HOWEVER.

Every year around this time I think "Maybe we SHOULD do something for Valentine's Day this year..." and then I get all guilty-faced watching people at the mall buying red lingerie or lovely engraved keepsakes for their special someones.

But then I go buy myself some $25 mascara and I get over it quickly.

What about you? Do you love Valentine's Day tradition? Or are you like me, and prefer to save your sentiment for days of your OWN choosing?

Remember Me because I'm hot.

Happy Fanged Friday, everyone!!

I know, I know, I'm a MAJOR slacker because I skipped last week, but that should make this week even more exciting! Right?

(Just go with it.)

This week we are breaking all the rules over here at Ye Olde Clever Girl Goes Blogge, but since I INVENTED Fanged Friday, I figure I can do what I want.

Are you ready? Is the suspense killing you? CAN YOU EVEN STAND IT?

(Do you want me to shut up and just post the vampire porn already? I thought so.)

This week's Fanged Friday feature is the always adorably scruffy RPattz... in his new movie "Remember Me." Playing a human. Who does not sparkle.

...

...

I know, I know, Fanged Friday is supposed to be for vampires. However, Robert Pattinson is the foundation this outfit was built on, so he has special privileges. BECAUSE I SAY SO.



(And because, seriously, look at him.)

Here's the trailer for "Remember Me." You'll find that, vampire or not, he still manages the whole 'brooding and slightly disheveled' thing pretty well. Me likey.



Remember you, RPattz? Oh baby, you can COUNT on it.

Happy Fanged Friday, everyone! Have a great weekend!
