| Smirk and Strut. |
There has been a tremendous amount of
Rob and Kristen goodness.
Bountiful goodness.
Sweet sweet goodness.
I just feel like typing goodness.
OK.
After recovering from all the gorgeousness (goodness)
from the Breaking Dawn panels at Comic Con...
We were treated to Kristen and SWATH.
Um.
I think I'm going to LOVE this movie.
Now if you would have told me about a bad ass Snow White
wearing armor and shields and being well... bad ass
I would have pointed and laughed.
Snow White?
The tra la la la la Snow White?
With the birds singing and the deer prancing
and the bunnies dancing...
THAT Snow White?
That is NOT Kristen Stewart.
But this tough, strong warrior Snow White?
Yeah.
I can see Kristen in that role.
 |
| Wickedly pretty. |
And what a cast.
WHAT A CAST.
Can't wait for this movie.
Can't wait for this movie.
How gorgeous is Charlize Theron?
Seriously?
And Kristen.
I swear to God...
She's looks more beautiful by the day.
It's like
All is right in her world.
She has finally found acceptance.
And with acceptance comes peace.
Doesn't she look peacefully happy?
Serene almost.
Satisfied.
Content.
She's got a great career.
She's got a blockbuster being released in a few months.
She's young. Gorgeous. Talented.
AND
Who is always by her side?
Robert Pattinson.
Acceptance indeed.
 |
| He kinda looks like a vampire here... HAHAHAHA! |
And oh my God.
Oh.
My.
God.
The Bel Ami trailer was all over twitter.
And.
Well.
I'm sorry.
But it's hard to be coherent.
I love seeing mean nasty yelling Robert.
Why?
Because its so opposite of most of the stuff you see him do.
Seeing him shout at people
and manipulate and use and abuse?
That is all kinds of sexy.
I know how fucking warped that sounds...
But its so out of character for him
It's fun to watch.
And it looks good.
Really good.
I just hope this one opens where I can go see it...
Because that really pisses me off when a movie
I really want to see... isn't playing anywhere around me.
I might get all shouty and bitchy then.
Too bad no one will notice the difference.
Heh.
 |
| Do Bears fly? |
OK.
Lots and lots
and lots
and lots
(and lots)
of chatter about Bear.
And London.
And whether Rob will go with Kristen...
Because Bear apparently hasn't earned his wings.
I've been told that he has to be quarantined...
And I don't think he has to be.
There are criteria that have to be met...
Mostly time restraints concerning shots...
But I'm thinking that Rob and Kristen have been
working on this for a while now.
You know?
Shots and microchips and passports and such...
Because they kinda knew this was coming.
So...
Some people tell me Bear won't be going...
and I think he will be.
(now... just speculation. don't get all worked up)
I think Rob/Kristen/Tom
will all make the trip back to London.
I guess whether its together or not remains to be seen.
It might not be all at the same time.
But Rob/Kristen history has taught us one thing...
No matter where/when/what
They ALWAYS end up together in the end.
Truth
Is
Truth.
 |
| As long as you don't get too close... |
So true story.
I was hanging out with my cousin the other day...
We started talking about her current guy.
Kurt.
I've met him.
He's a nice guy.
Funny.
I liked him.
But then she proceeds to tell me that all her friends
and other people think he looks like Robert.
As in Robert Pattinson.
Um.
I was like... HUH?
I mean... I've seen this guy.
Rob never crossed my mind when I looked at him.
So she tells me that his nickname is "Eddie"
Geez.
So I tell her...
"Robert Pattinson? Really?
Because I'm kinda fond of the guy...
And if there was any real resemblance...
I'm thinking I would have noticed."
So then she kinda got offended.
Like
I'm taking away her Robert (Eddie... Really??) fantasy.
She starts in with how hes tall like Robert
(and no... because I'm 5-9, and he had me by an inch... maybe)
And his hair is all like Robert's...
And OK. the hair was kinda similar...
but more "Eddie" Twilight style than Rob.
And I really couldn't argue with her about Rob... you know?
"Well, Kelly... I have 10,000,000 pictures of Robert Pattinson
on my damn computer... I KNOW what he fucking looks like"
No.
I couldn't very well say that... could I?
Or how about I probably have looked at Robert
everyday for the past 2.5 years?
Do you think she would have backed down?
Yes. I am a complete lunatic.
But I didn't really want to take away her Eddie...
And if the whole Pattinson Connection made her happy...
Who am I to hit it over the head and bury it?
With acceptance comes peace.
 |
| BEE YOU TEE FULL |
Final Thoughts.
1. Remember the time when you didn't mention my name
every other word? Remember?
"It's not about RoseSee"
But yet... it always is.
Always.
Let it go.
You don't know me.
At all.
You can't speak for my motives.
You can't speak for anything.
Please go away.
2. I want more pictures of Tom Sturridge.
I do.
Like maybe like this...
Or even like this...
Yeah.
When was the last time we saw a picture
of the three of them together?
It's been while.
But no...
I won't wish the paparazzi to chase them down...
But if say...
Someone in the airport...
Who happens to be a fan.
Politely took a picture of them...
I wouldn't be opposed to that.
Thing is...
Now that I have a taste of
Robert and Thomas together...
I want MORE.
MORE I TELLS YA.
I'm all kinds of selfish.
I apologize.

Hi Rose. Hi everyone:)
Ass usual and sorry for being so repetitive...I really like this post. It made me smile;)
I too miss a pic of the three together and silently hoping, ok no so silently, that they fly to London together and just like you said, maybe one tiny fan can take a tiny picture of them:)
Beautiful Post
A ff writer went to #CC2011 and she said Kristen is more beautiful face to face than in pics? OMG, she is just stunning in pics and she is more than than in real life!!! OMGosh!!! She is gorgeous, rich and smart/intelligent, independent, lovely and I could go on and on... Yeah she is PERFECT for our Rob! They are the perfect deal!!! The real package! A real COUPLE!
Lets wait the news from London, shall we?
As you said, no matter what,how,where, when ... they always end TOGETHER!
XO from Brazil
The Bel Ami trailer is still the first thing I watch in a morning and the last thing I watch at night!!!! PMSL
''I DESPISE YOU!!!'' :X
Hope you are all having a nice day
Love the post and the banner pic today too! She has a great smile in that pic!
So comic-con was all kinds of cute & awesome! I'm super excited for Kristen and SW. I can totally get on board with badass Snow. I have a sword and was playing around with it Friday night actually, so imo of course, swords are cool, and chicks that have swords are cool, so hell yeah this vision of Snow being a warrior princess looks awesome!
And as far as cute lil Bear goes, u are right..Kristen has known for a long time that she is going to the UK. They are probably all over the necessary requirements. Also, money talks. Some things, like paperwork clearance etc can be rushed with money. They certainly have the money to help push things thru for Bear if they get in a pinch.
Hell, u can expedite your own passport with extra money! Lol!
I hope Rob and Kristen had a good time in San Diego. They looked content & happy. That's all that matters!
Hope everyone has had a great weekend! Its 1:30pm here, I'm just getting up lol!
It´s indeed a very very good trailer!!!
@Claire, that line stuck with me too.LOL
Hope that all of you have a great day:)
Mine was at the beach, it was hot in my country today;)
Rose...enjoyed your "Eddie" story. Really?? How many pics of Rob? LOL
My money is on you, Rose. I am sure Rob and Kristen have Bear's London travel arrangements all figured out. Angelica and Liza explained that awhile ago. They should know since they live there!
Kristen will be incredible as Snow White. This production and gorgeous cast will blow away the competition. Cannot wait to see SnowStew!
I would love a pic of the fab 3 together again too!
Hey Rose and Roseland!
I'm so excited to see all of Rob and Kristen's upcoming projects. It makes me happy that so many good things are happening for them and that they have each other.
Rose, your story about your cousin is very funny. It was sweet of you to not burst her bubble. LOL
Hello Rose. You speak the truth period end of story. I love your blog a bunch. I can't wait for SWATH and to see Bel Ami. Seriously Rob looks so good and he plays a cocky bastard in the movie. I read that the whole cast of SWATH will speak with an British accent I hope that's true can't wait.
Rose, I have a colleague who thinks she looks like Kristen, I haven't the heart to tell her she looks more like Rod Stewart :)
Hi folks,
I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day.
As noted on the last post, I saw the pictures from the SWATH panel at Comic Con. Aside from the beautiful cast, it looks like an impressive production. I’m glad for this great opportunity for Kristen and wish her the best with this new project. After seeing the picture of Snow White, I can’t think of anyone better suited to play this “kick-ass” role. I’m also eager to hear her British accent. It sounds like she’s mastered the word “birth”. She does so enjoy teasing Rob, doesn’t she?
Rose, I hope you are right in your belief that Bear will be able to travel when Rob (and Tom, hopefully) head over to England to be with Kristen. It would only seem right for them all to be together. Regardless of Rob’s plans, I hope he enjoys his down time. He has more than earned it.
Hi dottie, Hope, Groovie, justme, RKSoulmates, Claire and everyone else in Roseland. Have a good day.
Hello to everyone. Another hot weekend here but they say an end is in sight.
Claire,
I have to say that is real fan dedication to watch that trailer that often. I will say the movie does look good. As Rose said a totally different role but I think that will make it even better since it is so against type.
SWATH looks interesting and I have to admit it was not something I thought I would like before hearing the details. I'm a bit tired of all the comic/fairy tale makeovers but this is definitely becoming more appealing.
Oh...I just saw that I wrote ass instead of as...My bad! Sorry for that;)
Hi Freddie, I totally agree with you. I don´t think that a Snow White like the one presented yesterday could be portrayed by anyone else. And the english accent is just the cherry at the top of the cake. Now Kristen has even more words to pratice and tease Rob;)
And the Bel Ami trailer...I really like seeing Rob in a different type of role and I believe that this will be good for his career.
Dear Rose,
Gorgeous banner, so romantic.
Your post today....perfect!
I do believe that Bear will fly.
I also believe that Tom will help Rob and Kristen with the jump over the pond, sort of like helping friends on moving day.
Smiling from the overload of happiness caused by all the film info, pics, and interviews that were made available to us these past few days. What awesome projects await Rob and Kristen fans!
Hi rose, very good your post named no haters or nonsten, the whip of indifference
Hi Angelica, PL and Olivia - who I missed earlier or have since posted. I hope all is well.
I wanted to mention this earlier, but couldn’t find the quote at the time. When I listened to the various interviews from the Breaking Dawn junket on Thursday, I smiled at Bill Condon’s comments to the New York Post about the honeymoon scene:
“And let's face it, it's the most intimate thing, and it all comes down to the relationship between the actors and the chemistry they have. I couldn't be luckier than to have Kristen and Rob, who are just so comfortable with each other and are able to explore that."
Boy, he pegged it.
I didn´t see or heard that quote;)
And if I was a fan of Bill Condon after Comic Con I became even more! And I think he and the cast have a great relation.
Thanks Freddie for sharing that
And he is so right;)
I admit I really wasnt interested in BelAmi, not usually my type of movie. But geez the trailer is good...like realllly good. He is really intense, yum! lol. And I am blown away by the SWATH pics, I had no idea it would be that type of story. I can't wait!!!. Great post Rose, thanks
Happy Sunday! I love peaceful days like this. Although I would be so happy if it got cooler soon. Seriously melting like the Wicked Witch of the West here!
The SWATH panel was great. Love the look they are going for. So cool!
Kristen looked fantastic once again. Loved the tee. Bet it sells out quickly!
That Bel Ami trailer. Rob's accent at the beginning in what I'm assuming is a brothel...gah! I'm such a sucker for men with accents.
I wish for safe travels for Rob, Kristen and Tom whenever they head across the pond. Hopefully they can get there without too much hassle.
OLIVIA- Thanks for sharing the links of Rupert's work!
Hi Freddie,
Wonderful quote from BC. So glad you shared it with us. Agree with you that he totally understands and is sensitive to the B/E relationship and what sensitivity and emotions Rob and Kristen bring to the films.
Hope you are having a nice afternoon. I just got in from work.
: )
Hi Melinda,
You're welcome. I was clueless as to who he was and after viewing the adverts I am now so excited to see the magic he will create when as he directs this film.
On the way to work I listened to NPR and caught just a few minutes of an interview of an author who was talking about Cronenberg. Her comments about him were über positive and she gave fascinating background info about his previous films. I will look for this interview on line, sometimes they are not available until the next day, and I will try to post a link. I now understand why Rob was so very excited and honored to work with this Canadian director.
Melinda - I meant to tell you how much I liked the lyrics to the song that you posted the other day. They were beautiful and very fitting. Thanks for posting them.
Kristen is going to be awesome as the strong warrior Snow White, so perfect for her. It really has been great to see so many good things happening for Rob and Kristen these days.....love all the happy. :)
Hope everyone in Roseland has been having a great weekend..take care out there!
Olivia- If you find it please post. I bet it is interesting.
Freddie- Thanks. I don't love country music all that much but I love that song.
Oh and I saw this on twitter yesterday. It's amazing how fast people can do edits and how cool they are!

ROSE..I love Giddy, Happy,Funny, Predicting, Inquiring,Mysterious(if you only knew)..heh..(and we want to Rose...tell us ALL about it)! and Exciting Rose..ok..I had to come up with 7..you know..to match with 7 dwarves...SWATH...hahaha...YES, I cant wait for this movie..Bad Ass Snow White..KRISTEN...this may be one of the best roles ever..I am so excited for you!!!!!!!
Re..Bel Ami...Most of you know I am dying to see that movie....If it doesnt come to my area, I promise you the movie theater in my town will be hearing from me and they will be SORRY to have me breathing down their necks! hahaha..I wish I could scare them! Hope I dont have to...:)
Love to All! I am home and resting between unpacking, etc.etc.
RSVP..Yes, I saw the trailer for BA...whats the deal about the BD trailer???
Hi Super:)
Before I go to bed...Yes,for me it´s time to go to sleep;)
The deal with the BD trailer was the the security didn´t allow anyone to post image, we can only hear the scenes, except the one with the wolfs.Someone post that video but the images are bad:/
I thought that maybe they will release something but so far nothing...
Theres a petition on twitter pleading for summit to release the trailer for the people who weren´t able to be at Comic Con.
Hope that info helps.
Hugs from tiny but sunny Portugal:)
Thanks for the post Rose!
Just caught up on the past 4 or 5 lol
Hello everyone!
What to say?
Comic Con was awesome!
So many cute, funny, happy and relaxed moments we could enjoy :)
It's so nice to see them like this :)
And BA trailer was so good and unexpected! wow! I wish Rob did more movies where he can use his wons accent lol
very remarkable even though it was just 2 minutes and half..
I cant wait for the rest of cineplex interview :)
And also I guess after having to be apart so many times Rob and kristen surely have managed something to let Bear fly.. no way they would take a dog without fixing the flight thing lol
anyway hope you all ladies are fine..
sorry i couldn't catch up on comments..
*hugs to everyone*
and btw, how sucks that we couldnt watch the honeymoon clip?
I dont see why they can't just release it for everyone..
it sounded so funny at some points lol
have a good day everyone!
Hi Rose, great post!
Why don't people google before they speak? lol
Bear doesn't need to be quarantined to go to the UK.
Pets from European Union and certain non-EU countries (US and Canada included) can travel to the UK without the need for quarantine.
Bear only needs to be microchipped, vaccinated and get an EU pet passport.
It's all in here, I've posted this before:
http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-pets/pets/travel/pets/
Comic-Con was great, Rob and Kristen should do promo stuff every day, lol (kidding!)
It was great to have news about BA and SWATH, the icing on the cake would be having some news about "On the Road" too...
Freddie, great quote from Bill Condon, I love it!
Hi Rose!! Great post
Really exicted for SWATH, it looks amazing! And Kristen has to use a british accent...how cool is that?!? I guess it won't be much of a probleme, since she already has private teacher :). Wishing Kristen and everyone involved in this project all the luck.
I am not embarrassed to confess that i've watched the Bel Ami trailer a like a thousand times...everything about it is so much win!!! Now, if we could only get a release date...in POrtugal!!
I also believe that Rob and Kristen alraedy made the necessary arregements, so that cute little Bear can go to London too.
Gorgeous banner!!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday.
Take care
Hi Katy, fellow portuguese:)
I have an info on Bel Ami release date for portugal but I don´t know if its accurate or not...But they say is going to be released on October 5th:)
Again don´t have 100% sure...
And now I really have to go:(
It´s great having this moments with all of you:)
Hugs from PT
Have a great day
@Rose
Sure love a Sunday post from you, and one filled with such reflection and humor-ahh, I die with the joy of it!
And I say, along with you, to those who think they know you, go away, too.
Bears can fly, as we all can, in our own ways.
More Tom, is always a good thing..
Happy Day to You and Us All!
DK
Hello Justme, fellow portuguese!!! Thank you for the info. Hope it's true. :))
Take care
Hello friends!
Is anyone here?
JUSTME@31...Thanks so much and (((HUGS)) to you as well. Have a great week and sweet dreams!!!
word verif ovendog (I couldnt make that up):)
Hi IB...How are you?
word verif ducked :)
Hi IB - I'm peaking back in. How's it going?
Super - how was your vacation ? It sounded like a great time (despite internet problems).
Hi Girls!! I just ran out to water my flowers not I'm back!
lol~That should read *now
Super~I must say that I love your avi...your little man is adorable and I really think pink is your color :)
Hi Freddie!!!
Hi IB - what's happening? I do love your avi, by the way.
Super - IB is right. Pink is your colour. It suits Super Gigi.
Hi Freddie, Super and Believe,
Are you enjoying this wonderful warm summer?
Freddie~Walking Twilight Edward...how can you go wrong?
PL~The hot weather broke...only in the 80's tonight.
Hi PL - how's it going in your neck of the woods? The heat is definitely better than the cold, but I confess I'm more of a spring/fall kind of person. I perfer moderate temperatures. I've been spending most of my time in air conditioned splendour.
I think I just saw on another site that Bel Ami is going to be shown at TIFF. I might have to make the supreme sacrifice and see if I can see it there - LOL.
Believe it or not, I'm eagerly waiting for True Blood to come on at 9PM.
@PL, Super, Freddie, IB
Hello! Been messing on Twitter but here and there, too, like a FGB can do.
Super Gigi, love that and you, and pink is it, fashionista that you are.
DK
IB - have you followed the series all along or have you been "bitten" with the True Blood bug? (sorry, couldn't resiste)
Hello DK....I just can't figure out that Twitter thing....it's beyond me...
So excited about SnowStew.....loved her hair in the promo picture!
@IB
Kids gave me season one of True Blood. Should I continue on, heard that the lovers in One are no longer, but married in real life, right?
@Freddie
Go, go.
In the 80's here, too but in my bedroom in C/A about 74 and sorting my clothes, so as not to move them, again.
Believe,
You are such a fangirl with that avi. Cute. We only had a high of 86 today here too. I like summer hot though so I don't mind the heat. It's just trying to keep up with the flowers wilting that gets tedious.
Freddie,
Really, TIFF? I thought there was some question of distribution and they were holding off on the movie release. I was just discussing the book with my daughter today. As I've said, I really liked it.
Freddie~LOL...I have been "bitten" but I wish Sookie and Bill would get back together! Isn't Eric a gas with his lost memory?
Hi DK - how are you? Is the packing going well and are you seeing light at the end of the packing tunnel?
@IB
Haven't figured anything out about Twitter. Just do there, like here, post songs and be silly. But, I have other friends there that don't know this me, and so it's fun to be incognito, ya know. However, I am still the me, you know, only slower and more silly.
It's like cell phones, I don't know how to use them for anything, except calling and hanging up, so it works for me, just like that.
DK~Yes, you should continue watching it...it does get a little weird...but like Bella, I'm good with weird...lol...yes, Sookie and Bill the vampire are off at this point in the series but I hope they get back together...in real life, they are really married...btw she is like 23 and he is in his 40's....
PL - I hope I have the Bel Ami news right and didn't read it wrong. I was realizing that it's been close to a year and a half since Rob filmed it. I'm sure he would like to see it come to fruition.
PL~I agree, constant watering is a pain and now because of the heat, some of my flowers are looking ratty. I also get whiteflies on my petunias and have to spray them...PITA!
Can't wait for Bel Ami!!!!!
IB - I've only seen parts of a few episodes, so I don't really know much about it other than having seen the EW mag cover - they looked good....
IB - if Bel Ami is coming to TIFF - you could make the trip across the border to see it.
Believe,
I don't have flies but the deer seem to think they can eat my hosta and then sleep on top of my daylilies.
I think Bel Ami will be good. It will be fun to see Rob as a manwhore instead of the sensitive type.
@Freddie
I try not to panic, since I am so slow at packing, almost resistant, and counting on family/friends to kick it in the butt, when the time comes. Playing is so irrestible to the Dreamer.
@PL
I've always counted on Michigan being cool in summer, but guess not this year. Been to the Four Winds Casino so far this year, but nowhere else. Love Grand Haven.
What about those little hose waterers that drizzle onto your plants, until you turn them out.
No calories of yours would be burned (like the hula hoop) but takes care of the moisture for the growing things?
Freddie~Gotta get me one of those enhanced driver's licenses so I can cross the border :)
PL~The deer are eating my daylilies AND geraniums!
LOL~Manwhore with a jaw!!!
DK~I, personally, was never a good packer or cleaner because I pick something up, take a trip down memory lane and it takes me days to get anything done! It drives hubby crazy lol!!!!
Manwhore with a jaw!. Somehow that just sounds really dirty. LOL.
DK,
I have underground sprinkling but all the planters and hanging pots are the things that just get baked in the sun and the sprinklers don't reach them.
Northern Michigan is usually the cooler area but I don't think that is true this year. The beaches are really nice around here though so no complaints.
Warning-spoiler
I am a little tipsy and starting to make spelling/grammar mistakes, so beg your pardon...
It takes tipsy to make me give up my possessions while packing since I am not pleased to do so. Love it all, but am not a packrat, yet.
*IB
Didn't know the age diff of real life Sookie/Bill but love, loves. So, which season was the best?
IB - I didn't realize that you needed one to get into Canada. Hmmm. You would only have a month or so....
Hi GUYS...Sorry..I got sidetracked with laundry and covering the various R&K sites...I just love Kris in that Snow White photo where she is looking down and holding the sword..how beautiful! I am so excited about all we have to look forward to :)
Thank you for your kind words about Gigi in pink! hahaha...
I have to tell you a horrible beach/food story. Daw and hub went to a restaurant and where they were sitting they could see the cook preparing food in the kitchen...he had mitts on and would scratch various parts of his body furiously between stuffing pitas with same gloved hand...they got up and left..SIL who is a cop said guy was a crystal meth user...he could tell by the way he looked and apparently when they take that stuff it makes them itch all over...Anyhow, I called the HealthDept down there and talked to an investigator about it..
DK~Tough to pick a favorite season but the sex scenes are hubba, hubba....oh, my, I'm blushing!
Freddie~We never needed an enhanced DL until this year...I'm not sure if I need it to get into Canada but I do need it to get back into the US and yes, it takes a while...more than a month :(
Super-Ick!!!
True Blood is like soft porn. I've only seen the first season because I don't have HBO. We had one of those free weekends and Mr PL and I watched the entire first season in a weekend. I think Eric is my favorite.
IB...I dont have HBO...I have seen the first 2 seasons of True Blood on DVD..I guess I will have to wait for the 3rd to come out...That show is some kind of weird...it pulls you in though..if you can get through the gory parts..Jason, Sookies brother and his escapades are hilarious...
Gotta run to catch True Blood...I will try to stop back afterwards :)
I am so happy I got to you all!
DK - I'm a confessed pack rat. I keep almost everything. That's why I still have e-mails from work from 1994. LOL.
Super - eww...I'm impressed that you spoke to the health department. Your story sounds like one of those Behind the Scenes shows that tapes what really happens in kitchens. Gross.
*IB
Yeah, those sex scenes don't seem timid like Edward is with Bella, for apparently those vampires can control their strength/power when socking it to humans.
My son just called, and I will go and meet him for a beer. Don't fret, only had one drink at home.
See you all later...
DK
PL..Gawd....yes....ERIC...I wonder how tall he is....Alexander Skarsgard...OOOOOh la la...
I feel sorry for the guy that owns the restaurant and turns into a dog:) bummer Id much rather play Eric, the bad ass vampire!
@Freddie
Like a good book or poem, why should you throw it away because it is from 1994. Your emails have value, to you, like anything worthwhile.
Bye for now, luvs.
Super,
Funny thing about Eric is that when the actor isn't in character I think he looks kind of wimpy.
I'm going to find something constructive to do, not that talking here isn't. LOL
Catch you all later.
Hey all! PL, your gardening/flower woes are shared by me! The deer and the voles are killing everything they can! I call my yard "The Salad Bar"! The deer are at least cute. The voles, and their friends the moles, not so much!
I am excited about the possible TIFF news for Bel Ami! The trailer has gotten a lot of positive buzz!!!
Good Night PL and Freddie...I am going to bid you all a wonderful evening so I can finish up and get ready for tomorrow...ugh...back to work!
Night Super and PL - Have a good one.
OK..I just couldnt stand it...Hi SJJW! check out my new avi!!!!!
I LOVE YOUR new avi SUPER!
I am so excited about Bel Ami and SWATH! Perfect part for Kristen and OMG Rob is looking some kind of sexy in the trailer! Hope that Bear does make it to London! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Stay cool!
Well, here I am, no more, no less than any of you, only ready for music.
Hi Dreamer
Just wanted to stop by n see how the move is going. Looks like u r still packing stuff. I got back from Cali couple of days ago n it was so awesome! I loved it!!! I hope i can go back soon. Okay just wanted to check in. It's been a crazy busy weekend w not much sleep n i just started listening to a playlist that a friend gave me to help sleep. It works n I'm about to crash. Hope u are good n have sweet dreams!
Good morning Roseland,
I saw this article last night which was written by Russell Brand about Amy Winehouse. I'm usually not a big fan of Russell but this is a heartfelt and honest writing about Amy and addiction. If you're interested:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/jul/24/russell-brand-amy-winehouse-woman?CMP=twt_gu
Hi PL - I saw that yesterday. It was really moving. My sister is currently working in an eating disorders and addiction unit and she was speaking quite frankly to me yesterday about how upsetting it is and how helpless she feels when they have a case where they know ultimately they're going to fail.
Good Morning PL and ANGELICA...I read the article PL...He is an excellent writer! I was the youngest of 5 children and my oldest brother was an alcholic and prescrition drug addict. My childhood was defined by my brother. He was in and out of prison his whole life. The saddness and misery came when he got out. He would end up on our doorstep. He was a chain smoker, so I could hardly breath in my house when he was around. He would cry and sometimes get in fights with my other brother. He would pick up sleazy waitresses from the Holiday Inn and I would be so emabarraed, hoping the neighbors would not see them. The family across the street from me...their father was a deputy sheriff so he knew about my brother so his children were never allowed to come to my yard or come inside my house. My mother always gave him money to help him "get on his feet again"...it wasn't long before he was back in jail. He stole my sisters credit card when I was a young adult and I refused to speak to him or have anything to do with him. He got esophageal cancer when he was 52 and died 6 months later. As much as I want to be symphathetic to the addict ( we have a neice on my husbands side) I find it difficult. My mind understands but the toll it takes on the family is devastating and lasts long after the person has passed on.
Please excuse "all" the misspelled words...you can tell when I'm using my cell...lol
PL-
That was very heartfelt. Addiction is horrible. Sometimes the soul is strong enough to conquer it. In other times the addiction conquers the soul.
The music world lost another very talented musician to addiction. It's a shame.
Good Evening to You!
Haven't checked in until now, as I've been on the move, tee hee.
Everyone must be video happy right now, and busily engaged in watching what's out there about R/K, many thousands of times a day. Can't think of any better way to spend a day, than to be happy with what you are seeing.
I'll be in and out, and posting some songs.

@Super
That was a powerful post you shared, about your brother and the tragedy of your family dealing with addiction, and its effects on you.
You sure have done amazing things in your life, despite those hard years. Beautiful chica!
Cheers for our Super! <3
@Emilia
So glad you enjoyed your trip to Cali and are home safely.
It's such a bore, but I am going to be packing a while, since I am turtle-like when I do it and easily distracted. Thank goodness, a bff is coming out to rescue me this weekend, and get the move on around here.
Sleep well and wake, refreshed.

Sit there, hmm, count your fingers
I know what else, what else is there to do
Oh and I know how you feel
I know you feel that you're through.
Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm count
Ah, count your little fingers
My unhappy oh little girl
Little girl blue, yeah
Oh sit there, go on and count those raindrops
Don't you feel 'em falling down oh honey all around you
Honey don't you know it's time
I feel it's time
Somebody told you 'cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It's gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they're falling down, honey all around you
Oh, I know you're unhappy
Oh sit there, ah go on, go on
And count your fingers
I don't know what else, what else
Honey have you got to do
And I know how you feel
And I know you ain't got no reason to go on
And I know you feel that you must be through
Oh honey, go on and sit right back down,
I want you to count, oh count your fingers
Ah my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue
I know you're unhappy
Ooh ah, honey I know
Baby I know just how you feel

It Had To Be You
Deep River Boys-1942:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naEc5H_pFos
It had to be you, it had to be you;
I wandered around, and finally found
The somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue;
And even be glad, just to be sad,
Thinking of you.
Some others I've seen, might never be mean;
Might never be cross, or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do.
For nobody else, gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still.
It had to be you, wonderful you;
It had to be you.
Thank you/Junction001

I Remember Me
Jennifer Hudson:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzNisS_rCgo
I remember me, staring at myself
See these same two eyes, see these same two feet
I remember you
You who I used to be
You still look the same
But you don't hurt like me
Look at my reflection, somewhere my affection
Disappeared,isn't here, nothing left to say
Memories they fading, but I'm the one who makes them
But I keep the love close to enough to say
What if this life is all that we're given
We just can't stop living, scared of what we see
Cuz in this world, anything can hurt you
They push you, then forget you
Stole my history
But I remember me
I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me
I tell you what my name is
And ain't nothing gon' change it
Cuz what you are is what you are
Even if your memory's flawed
I go to places, trying to find familiar faces
They don't show, but I still know
They don't have to look for me
I dream about, I dream about
The place where all the broken pieces fit together
Now all that's left of these hands, this breath
I've said goodbye to so many things that tears wont cry
And I take this pain
This joy, and rain
Cuz all that matters now is
In this life anything can hurt you
Push you, then forget you
Erase your history
But I remember me, I remember me
It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know
I remember me, I remember me
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die
I remember me
I remember me, oh woah
I remember me, I tell you what my name
I tell you what me name is
Do or die
Thank you/abarm

It's too darn hot,
It's too darn hot.
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight,
Fulfill the cup with my baby tonight.
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight,
Fulfill the cup with my baby tonight,
But I ain't up to my baby tonight,
'Cause it's too darn hot.
It's too darn hot,
It's too darn hot.
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight,
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight.
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight,
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight.
But sister you'll fight my baby tonight
'Cause it's too darn hot.
It's too darn hot,
According to the Kinsey Report
Ev'ry average girl you know
Much prefers her lovely doggie to court
When the temperature is low,
But when the thermometer goes 'way up
And the weather is sizzling hot,

Is not,
'Cause it's too, too
Too darn hot,
It's too darn hot,
It's too darn hot.

Green, green, it's green they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm goin' away
To where the grass is greener still
Well I told my mama on the day I was born
"Dont cha cry when you see I'm gone"
"Ya know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down"
"I just gotta be travelin' on"
A-singin'
Nah, there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna tell me to spend my time
I'm just a good-lovin' ramblin' man
Say, buddy, can ya spare me a dime?
Yeah, I don't care when the sun goes down
Where I lay my weary head
Green, green valley or rocky road
It's there
I'm gonna make my bed
Easy, now
Green, green, it's green they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm goin' away
To where the grass is greener still
To where the grass is greener still

Melt Your Heart
Jenny Lewis w/The Watson Twins:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNHo7Qog7qU
Nothing is ever as good as it was
And what's good for your soul
Will be bad on your nerves
Strike that reverse it
It's bound to melt your heart
One way or another
It's bound to melt your heart
For good or for bad
It's like a valentine
From your mother
It's bound to melt your heart
And we've lost the people we could have loved, and you...
What you know you have or what you think you aren't
It's never perfect
Are we killing time?
Are we killing each other?
It's bound to melt your heart
One way or another
It's bound to melt your heart
For good or for bad
It's like a valentine
From your mother
It's bound to melt your heart
When you're kissing someone who's too much like you
It's like kissing on a mirror
When you're sleeping with someone who doesn't get you
You're gonna hate yourself in the morning
It's bound to melt your heart
One way or another
It's bound to melt your heart
For good or for bad
It's like a valentine
From your mother
Thank you/coitocerebral
Being wise and logical these nights, so I'm flying away with the bears, to our special place in the woods, not far from the Huntsman and dear Snow White's camp.
Zzzz's for me. See ya later.
Good morning,Rose and Roseland!
Hi DK,
Hope all is going well with your move!
Thanks for the tunes. Fun choices as always!
I agree, Roseland was very quiet yesterday. Probably still basking in the fun.
Super,
I can relate to what you went through with your brother. I am still going through this with my children's father. There are those that are fortunate enough to get the help they need to put the disease of addiction in remission and live full lives. There are those that will never learn how to live without it and eventually lose the battle. I vacillate between feeling empathy for him and being angry at what it does to our children. There is a hole in the core of their being that they cannot fill. It takes insight and a lot of work to fill that with something besides their addiction. Unfortunately, many are incapable of doing this. It is heartbreaking for the addict and all those around them.
Hello ladies and gents, because I know we have a few lurking.
I didn't mean for my post yesterday concerning Russell Brand and Amy Winehouse to be such a downer for everyone but I guess a dialogue about addiction is always good.
Birdie and Super,
Thanks for sharing. I do not think there is a family around that does not have some experience with someone suffering from an addiction. Sometimes it is good to hear from others and know you aren't alone.
Olivia,
The Ann Arbor art fair was this weekend and blueberries are abundant right now. Check out my avi because that is where I spent my day yesterday.
Good morning, sweet Rose and my friends here in Roseland! Wonderful post, and very special comments...
Too much goodness going on... I'm so happy for R&K and everything that's ahead of them, both personally and professionally!!
More Tom pics...pretty please?
Happy days are here to stay...so much love to Smitty, Gruff, & Syd
Morning All!
Just a quick in and out...checking in to say have a great day!
Hope you all are enjoying your summer!
Good morning dear Rose and fellow Roselanders,
Special hugs to Super and Birdie. Would like to echo the sentiment that we all know someone who is touched by the pain and sadness of addiction.It is important to not feel alone and powerless. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
PL, the AA Art Festival is so amazing. Will have to make it back up there one of these years in July so that I can spend at least one full day meandering through all the beautiful booths. Yum, ripe blueberries! Have a big bowl topped off with sour cream or greek yogurt and think of me!
A good friend of mine spent many a summer driving dune buggys at Mac Woods place near Silver Lake and the Lake Michigan dunes area. You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful place and so close to the lakes. Enjoy! : )
Have a lovely Tuesday y'all.
