I know. I’m on a roll today with these Random Thought posts, but this is the last one for today. I swear.
About a month ago, I bought the TWILIGHT double disc DVD. I know, I finally got with the program–what?–a year later. They aren’t even showing this movie on the cable channels yet and the new one is coming out soon. Anyhow, in watching the extra features DVD, they showed a video of my favorite group, Linkin Park! I had no idea they were on the soundtrack! This group is makin’ the rounds with the soundtracks, let me tell ya. I just heard their new song for the TRANSFORMERS 2 movie, “New Divide“….aaaaaaand I love it, of course.
But I digress.
Yesterday–we’re still talking Sunday here–Mr. MMA and I stopped by Best Buy so he could get ENTER THE DRAGON on Blueray and he asked me if I wanted anything. I have a whole list of CD’s I want, but I chose the TWILIGHT soundtrack.
The CD jacket turns into an actual poster of Edward and Bella and if I were a freak fan of the movie/books, I would put it up in my cubie at work or something.
But I’m not. So I didn’t.
It’s going to stay as a CD jacket.
I bought it because 1) I’m a GINORMOUS fan of Linkin Park and the song on the CD is on their best-album-ever and 2) because Rob Pattinson has a song on their, too, and I wanted to hear what he sounded like.
I was a little disappointed. Not in Rob’s song, which is actually quite beautiful (he sounds like someone I’ve heard before, but I can’t put my finger on it), but the CD as a whole. In my opinion, there are only 4 good songs on here:
#1
#2
#4
#10
#12
I also like songs by Collective Soul, but I wasn’t too impressed with their contribution this time (#7). I guess I like their old stuff better. All in all, I’m tempted to just download the other three songs and exchange the CD for something else. I dunno. Maybe the soundtrack for NEW MOON will be better.

Yeah. I am SO not lovin’ the MMA thing. I’m like “MMA who?” I know I just read the post where you were thinking of it, but if I hadn’t I’d be pretty clueless.
So, it has got me wondering, what is with you and wanting to change names of your characters lately? Is something going on that you neglected to mention?
My votes: Change Draven, Leave Mr. Maul!

Ok, that’s why I always read your blog. It’s nice how you write!

Rob – no relation to the Rob of Twilight, I imagine. You probably get that a lot, right? Thanks for the compliment.
