So "let's take a day to livetweet Surprise Gender Swap Twilight" (yes, this is a real, official Stephenie Meyer book. This is not a drill) turned into a comparative-gender-studies week-long ordeal and I haven't even gotten to Vampire Baseball yet. (I'm over on my secondary Twitter account, @cleolindajones, for all this.) I'm having a lot of fun with it, but I definitely needed to take yesterday off, catch up on my sleep, and work on an Aromaleigh post. (Extras from the sold-out Primavera box will be available in the next few days? Don't let Kristen know I let you see this.) (I think Luciferus is the one I talked her into doing as an open edition? I didn't let you see this either.)
Anyway, if you'd like to catch up, here are the collected livetweets by day:

Also, the other week I posted a multimedia Dragon Con writeup detailing my adventures, including meeting Scott Thompson and Aaron Abrams, aka the "darling boy" story (*facepalm*), plus two different podcasts I was on to discuss it if you've ever wanted to hear me shout "FUCK A FUCKING DUCK," whee.

Please close the door and switch on the fun without fail.

Excited but confused
AND HOLY SHIT THE ROCK ACTUALFAX COMMENTED
I wonder if anyone else was inspired to watch the movie again.
Also wondering if anyone else is having the same problem I am with the DVD? I have the 2-disc special edition from 2009, and just the first disc is corrupted somehow. The sound works fine, and so does the Summit logo at the beginning, but everything from the previews onward is going all snowy.
I thought it was just my copy getting old and funky and needing replacing, but I got one from the library--same edition, same movie, different disc--and the same thing happened. Just that first disc. The special features disc is fine.
Anyone else experiencing this?
