To celebrate all things Harry Potter Warner Brothers, the production company that produces Harry Potter movies is releasing ultimate collector's editions of each Harry Potter movie. So far Harry Potter years 1 and 2 have been released along with Harry Potter and the Half Blood prince aka Harry Potter year 6. I must say that you have to be the ultimate fan to buy the ultimate editions because it

Here, at Floating in the Atmosphere, most anything and everything can be blogged about. But many know that I am an avid (seriously I don't think avid describes my obsessiveness) fan of The Twilight Saga. As I sit here typing, there are approximately four days to go until I get to see the second book, New Moon, on the big screen. I can not describe my excitement and my dread. Excitement,

Yesterday I woke up to watch "The Bonnie Hunt Show" and instead the memorial for all the slain soldiers at the Fort Hood Massacre in Texas was on. It was such a sad realization of life that no matter who you are, eventually you will die. I wanted to honor all the victims and all the veterans and soldiers that have sacrificed their safety and life to keep Americans safe for 233 years. Today is

At the risk of humiliating myself I am posting a poem I wrote several months ago. I was trying to capture the mood that I was in. At the time I felt that life was so short and hopeless that you could not possibly do anything to stop death.If I should die by storm or fireI hope the world will remember my desireTo find a love for my poor, poor heartBut Life has a way of ripping all apartIf I

As I sit here in front of my computer, I'm also staring at my huge gigantic Twilight 2009 Calendar-specifically the month of November. This is the busiest month for me because not only do I get to celebrate my second favorite holiday- coughsThanksgivingcoughs-but it is also my sister's birthday month. Which happens to fall one day before Thanksgiving. I think that is just awesome. Sometimes

I've always been fascinated with the character of Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Of course Elizabeth Bennet is one of the most beloved characters of all time and is the main character that we get to know the story from, but Pride and Prejudice wouldn't have been the same had Jane Austen omitted Mr. Darcy from this classic love story. So imagine my pleasure at discovering "Darcy's Passions"

I haven't written anything of consequence of late and I still do not have anything of consequence of late to write about. Well except that Summer went by too fast and now it's time for hot soups and pumpkin and squash everything. Pretty soon it's going to be time for hobnobbing with ghosts and goblins.

All this raining for the past two days got me thinking about the only two nursery rhymes I know. The first one is what I call the English nursery rhyme...you know, the one that goes...Rain Rain go away come again another dayIf you don't I don't care I'll just...Wait, actually for as long as I can remember I don't know the whole verse to this particular nursery rhyme.

Yes I've gone over to the dark side officially. I'm one of the many herd followers. I have my very own Twitter page and I have a confession to make. I am addicted to Tweeting or Twittering. LOL!!! There's nothing like updating the world on nonsense since the majority of the posts on Twitter is telling people what you are doing at the moment, which is nonsense.

There's nothing like sitting in your beautifully, newly renovated backyard soaking up the sun, listening to your favorite soundtrack and drinking freshly brewed sweet iced-tea. And, oh! reading your favorite book (Twilight) again for the nth time. No, really there isn't anything like it. Sunday was such a beautiful and nice day. I wished that the world's climate could be like Sunday everyday.

Someday I will have the guts to post some of my longer form poems, but right now I want to share some Twilight (yes, of course I have to mention Twilight)related haikus I came up with because of this one site, Haiku By Two, I came across that featured some really cool and clever haikus.

I've recently started checking out Avatar: The Last Airbender series because Jackson Rathbone (Jasper from the Twilight movies) is going to be in the live action version movie of the series that is going to be written, produced, and directed by M. Night Shymalan (of Sixth Sense and other horrible movies fame). The first movie will be based upon the first season, Book I: Water. First of all let

I was watching Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, you know that show that used to be hosted by Conan O' Brien, with that one guy from Saturday Night Live who does the weekend update news, as a guest. He and his brother were on that show and they were reminiscing about their childhood and talking about pranks they played on each other. This reminded of a prank that my sister played on me. It's

The title says it all...my life is going AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I realized that I haven't written anything at all since my one and only entry for March. A lot has happened but I haven't had the energy or the will to write anything. I keep asking myself how will I be the next Great American Writer if I don't want to write anything. Well sometimes you just don't have anything to say or at least

It's been such a long time (according to the calendar) since I updated about my boring life and interests but it feels like no time at all has passed since the New Year. Don't you ever feel like your life is just racing you by? I know I do! While I was in the shower fantasizing about my non-existent glamorous Hollywood life-style something made me think about Doctor Who. What is Doctor Who

Ok I totally admit it sometimes I'm embarrassed to admit I love reading young adult fiction. The latest example being Twilight. Yes this is going to be another Twilight post. You know I'm contractually obligated to mention Twilight at least once a week (not really I don't get paid but I should be). But Twilight obsession aside I don't know what it is about those tweeny, teeny bopper genre

The Academy Awards is a very prestigious event for the stars being nominated and also for those attending. Past Academy Awards shows were good but you have to admit sometimes it can get boring what with the show running over two and a half hours long; but not this year’s show. I would like to applaud the writers and the director of this year’s show. First of all they did a great job of picking

Last night, Saturday night, I was watching The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian with my sister and her fiance. And there was a scene where the four Pevensie siblings discovered the hidden room where their treasures were left when they went back to their own world in the first movie (The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe) and reverted back to their original age. I loved this scene for one

What can possibly be better than Twilght? Well for me it is having one of the stars of Twilight guest star on an episode of Criminal Minds. CM is my favorite crime drama. I love even the bad episodes, but to me there are very few of those. So I'm so happy that Jackson Rathbone aka Jaspar Hale from Twilight will be playing a character name Adam Jackson. I can't wait!!!If the player doesn't

About three weeks ago, I'm not exactly sure when, but about three weeks ago I started watching this one Thai romantic comedy series. I was instantly hooked on it, not because of the actor or actress, but because of the content or subject of the series. You see, in the series, the main female protagonist is a very talented chef. She's good at cooking Thai main entrees, but her specialty is

So I got my sister for Christmas an itunes giftcard right. And it doesn't work, says it needed to be activated. So I'm thinking that yeah, the store where I got the card from forgot to activate for me. I found my receipt and guess what? They never charged me for it. The card must have been stuck in between some other stuff and so that's why I never paid for it. I'm not crooked I promise.

So 'tis the eve of Christmas. Hope everyone will get what they hoped for. For those of us Twilight fans (who liked the movie...of course)this year has been one of the most amazing years. First, we received Breaking Dawn way back in August. I can't believe it myself, but August seemed like such a long time ago. I am one of the few, I think, that liked Breaking Dawn as is and wouldn't want it

In case, though, that I don't win I just wanted to post this really cool video of Muse performing Super Massive Blackhole. Man I really wish they would tour here and come to Chicago. I really want to see them live! I think that would be so much fun.

No not in that way!!! I want Alfonso Cuaron (who directed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Y Tu Mama Tambien) to direct New Moon, the sequel to Twilight. There are rumors going around that Chris Weitz (About a Boy, Golden Compass) is being offered the job of the new director for New Moon. He'll be replacing Catherine Hardwicke.

I've realized that time has flown all too quickly. It seemed only yesterday I was pacing in my room and fidgeting in my chair waiting for the highly anticipated Twilight movie and now that it has arrived I miss the months and days of waiting.

There are several things I wanted to say about Twilight. Ok if you've come here expecting a bad review and negative view of the Twilight movie you've come to the wrong place. Considering that I have made my opinions about the Twilight world known loudly and clearly you should know that I have seen the movie three times already. I am officially broke from spending so much money on the movie,

Ok it's no mystery that I have a really big, fat, humongous, ginormous crush on Robert Pattinson a.k.a Edward Cullen from Twilight the movie. I've been stalking bellaandedward.com all week just to see if there's any new interviews, appearances, pictures, or anything regarding Twilight or Robert Pattinson (there's a whole bunch everyday!!!) It's really become an addictive obssessive habit of

I've posted Paramore's "Decode" music video. As many of you surely know, this song was written exclusively for the Twilight the movie soundtrack. Hayley Williams, the lead singer of Paramore is a fan. I think that is so cool for a famous person to love what we ordinary humans love. My reaction to when I saw this video...I so loved it. It isn't just a montage of the movie. They've got the

So today is Halloween. First off I would like to say that I am a bit disappointed in myself for not following through with my planned Twilight-themed Halloween. I was going to try to dress up as a Twilight character, perhaps a vampire, but I was not able to procure the necessary items: mainly the gold-colored contacts. Contacts do not come cheap. The cheapest I found was 25.00 US dollars.

This is so awesome. Here is another clip I'm posting of Twilight the movie. Just watch it and you'll see why I'm completely in love with Twilight. Mind you it is bootleg so the quality isn't so great, but considering that the movie opens just in 20 days...it's worth it to see anything at all.OME!!!

The Ten Faces of Doctor Who(from top left going clockwise, William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, and David Tennant)For those of you who do not know who or what Doctor Who is...let me explain. Doctor Who is a British Sci-Fi show produced by the BBC (British Broadcasting Company). The premise

I've been so obsessed about Twilight that I haven't been following any news on Harry Potter at all. Well I don't know why or what prompted me to check out Mugglenet (a Harry Potter fansite), but I did and low and behold, a new international teaser trailer. My reaction to the trailer when I saw it...I was speechless and my jaws were hanging down to my neck. The first trailer was already awesome

One of my fellow members at a Thai Entertainment Forum had this as her avatar and it just cracked me up sooooo bad...because I confess....I do some of the things that are suggested on the avatar...yep I'm completely Twilight Obsessed!!!Like the other day I saw a silver volvo...not exactly like Edward Cullen's shiny, silver Volvo...but enough alike to make me squeal aloud and startle my parents

Growing up many of us never wonder about our parents' earlier lives or childhood, but on Wednesday night I've had that opportunity. My father bought Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls that night and we watched it together. My father and I have pretty much the same taste when it comes to movies (ehhhhh...except for Westerns, I hate them, he loves them.) So we're watching this

So the last time I posted here I gushed about how I just love Twilight, and that I'm going to try to make a Twilight themed costume. Well there are plenty of sites that sell Twilight things, but I think I'm going to try to make my own costume. It should be simple because the vampires in Twilight are nothing like the vampires of ancient lore. First of all the vampires in Twilight can not be

I know I know...Twilight! It seems as if every where you go these days you just can't escape the screaming fan girls and rabid, crazy teens of The Twilight saga. But in all fairness let me just say that I am a fan...not a teen anymore, but still a fan of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. Although New Moon isn't my favorite book and Eclipse is just a teensy bit better than New Moon, I still overall

I'm totally starting this blog out of:1. curiosity2. desire to improve upon my writing skills3. boredomI'm curious because I was talking to my best friend's father-in-law about blogging. He maintains a blog of his own. This just impressed me so much that I decided that I would try to blog as often as I can. Maybe out of this curiosity I will learn something about myself. Hopefully I'll be
