Movie Date - written july 21st

I've read the books, multiple times, watched the previous movies in anticipation, and squealed when I saw the trailer for the first time. Finally, I got to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2! I know, I know. I'm such a nerd. I started out by watching the first movie, and then after that, I had to read the books. From then on, I was hooked. They are so wonderfully written, and I think I might just re-read the last one again, you know, just cause.

Must practice taking better self photos with the iphone, I suck at it

I went to see it for the first time with my sisters. They both hadn't seen it yet, and that made me happy. Normally we all go and line up to see it on a premier night, but not this time. This pregnant lady can't stand or sit in line for hours and hours.

The bonus to this event? Free ticket courtsey of my scene points. Having that scene card really does pay off. This is the third or fourth free one I've redeemed. Movie nights are our favourite date night thing, so it works out well.

The movie was AWESOME! I loved it. The books will always be better in my mind, but this movie was the best one of them all. I cried even. Now that its over, its a little depressing. There will be no more new books, or movies. That's ok though. I have the books, and I might even re-read them all in sequence again, just for fun.

And now for a little game!

So, being that we are a little cheap, each one of us brought our own snacks to the theater. Can you tell which sister brought what?

book reading and such

Recently I have been re reading the twilight series books. I really like them, and after seeing the movie I was intrigued to find out what the story was about. I hopped on the twilight train and borrowed Aria's set of books and devoured them. I tend to do that with all my books. So now, I had to get my own cause I needed to read them again (the new moon movie comes out in November)!

I never thought I would get into books about vampires. There are so many out there, but these ones hooked me.

Tony also recommended I read 1984. I never read that book in high school, instead I read Animal Farm, which was meh. Russian revolution was interesting, but this one is better.

I have a system that works well, I read a little of 1984 usually during the day, and then at night I read one of the twilight books. Books that are new to me keep me awake and I never get to sleep unless I read something I've read before. I did this as well with "the road", only my comfort books through that were the Harry Potter books.

I saw the new Harry Potter movie recently, and wasn't too happy with it. It was good, as good as expected, but the book was another favorite of mine and there were added scenes and things I didn't see that I wanted to in the books.

So that is all for now, I am off to find more classic books that should be read. I might re read the Chrysalids or find Lord of the Flies at a second hand book store.
