The Wait is Over

506 days. That's how long we have been waiting. Waiting for the sex scene in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part I. I guarantee furniture sales and Google searches for canopy beds will sky rocket after the world (yes the entire world) watches the highly anticipated and fantasized movie.


Before I became a member of the cult (Team Edward let me make clear)  I had heard about this notorious love scene. "They break the bed." Why would these four words even entice to me to read four books in a 2 week span? Maybe I was confused by what that statement meant or that I had finally found an acceptable reason to do a way with my Twi-bashing attitude. Which ever the case, I was hooked and could not wait for the infamous pillow shredding event. Much to my disappointment "the chapter" was less risque than any normal night on Gossip Girl. I hope to have my expectations met this weekend. Even though the movie is rated PG-13 I know they can push the envelope since Twilight rules the world.


Those of you going to see Twilight at at the break of dawn (get it?) don't spoil the scene for all of us creeps out here!

The Daily Pippitt Returns

Go ahead, catch your breath, you're seeing correctly. The Daily Pippitt has a new post, in fact it's about to have a whole new life. You're about to have a whole new life. The Daily Pippitt is going to be going through some changes over the next few weeks. I encourage you to check back daily and get a taste of what you've been longing for. So lick your lips, your addiction is about to be satisfied.



Rehashing the Pippitt


I joined the Twitter world before most people and definitely way before it was cool. I was ahead of the curve and working for a social media company, but I found myself defending the platform and explaining "well it's kinda like facebook, but just your status, and you can follow people and get info and @ people". I don't know why people didn't catch on faster with that standard description.

My first tweets were stupid, random and definitely not funny, but I was tweeting and therefore cool. So it was quite the shocking surprise to me when I didn't know what hashtag meant. When did the Pound/Number sign feel that it was appropriate to rename its self and not tell anyone?

After I realized that # was no longer the way to restart the phone prompt, I was seeing and hearing it EVERYWHERE. All of the sudden # was the way to add the extra commentary already going on in your head. It was on the TV for people give their original thoughts and have topics trend. It was even making its way into dinner conversation. I had dinner with a friend and immediately following her statement she held her hands up letting her fingers lay over each other to create the ultimate human #. I paused for a minute and digested what went down.

How did I go from being in the know and socially advanced to not understanding the fictional word of hashtag. Even my Mac doesn't recognize it as a word. Is # going to fade out from the world outside Twitter? Will my text messages return to normalcy?- probably not- but not thanks to the #. I understand that # is maybe the new "Your Face" joke but can we just nix the hashtag name?

Apple to Unveil iPhone 4.0


Not a joke. The iPad came out less than two days ago and Apple is already gearing up for the next release of their latest iPhone. The iPhone OS 4 is supposed to be bigger, better and faster. Thursday at 10am Apple will be hosting a conference to release details about this highly rumored addition to the Apple family. I'm really hoping for the video-chatting rumor to be true!

ETA: 3 Days



Cult members of Apple will traveling to the Mecca of electronics this weekend to see the latest breakthrough that is completely necessary to add to our already digitized lives. The iPad, informally known as a Giant iTouch, hits stores this Saturday. Pre-sale orders will be filled, however the 3G model is not being released until next month. I'm anxious to see how then iPad will do. If you aren't getting an iPad or rather just can't afford it (ding ding ding-me) you can hold off until this summer when new iPhones are released. Most of the information out there on the infamous 4G iPhone are pure rumors, there have been leaks of features like video chatting, 5.2 mega pixel camera, ability for multi-tasking and made of titanium. Hope the rumors are true so I can blog and video chat with you guys simultaneously.

Never Gets Old

I have seen this video several times and it never gets old.

North Shore 5K


Deadline is another word for motivation. Whether it scares you that you will come in dead last or that you will completely fail altogether, deadlines are hard to ignore. I signed up for a 5K that takes place on June 13th. Since a 5K is really only 3.1miles I'm not too worried about being able to complete it. I've started "training" (if you even want to call it that) and have 13 weeks to get my speed up to a respectable time. Now only if the weather would stay warm I could enjoy the process even more.
