Turnaround.
Nov. 21st, 2009 09:50 amIf you'd have asked me a year ago if I'd be dying for someone to come see New Moon with me on opening weekend, I'd have laughed in your face.
I picked up Twilight (the book) this August, around wedding time. I only bought it because it was so cheap at TJ Maxx ($7) and because I was curious to see what all this hype was about in the first place. I never imagined I'd get sucked in like every other girl on the planet, but I did.
The books weren't even that well written. It was just a nice break from the other kinds of things I generally read about (Jodi Picoult court case novels and semi-depressing true stories of drug abuse, eating disorders, and mental illness). It was nice to re-live what it's like to fall in love, and I loved Edward's character! (I think they couldn't have chosen worse casting for the movies, though. What a huge letdown.)
I like the name Edward, period. Before any of this nonsense, I had a plant named Edward (Yes, I name my plants.) who hangs next to my bed, begging the window for some attention. He's a Crown of Thorns plant, and he constantly looks dead, but he continues to grow taller, which leads me to believe that he is, in fact, alive.
In any case, I'm just writing this because I -so- want to go see this movie, but I think the odds are, I will just wait for its arrival on DVD. I can add it to my collection, and the following movie will be released in June. This is great, because that was my favorite of the books, anyway.
That makes it sound like June is just around the corner. It isn't. I can't believe winter is almost upon us. And winter here runs from about November to May. I'm shocked the snow hasn't begun to pile up yet.
Kevin left around 6am this morning for NYC with some friends. They're going down to meet up with his former professor and friend, who is taking a class on a tour of FDNY. Kevin & friends are spending the night and will be home late tomorrow afternoon, I guess. Probably closer to 7 or 8, I bet. I -was- upset that they decided to spend the night, since this was my weekend off and initially, we were going to go to NYC together... now, I'll only get a couple hours with him. However, he needs a break, so it's good for him to get out with the guys. I'm keeping that in mind.
Especially after the whole "Hey, I lost my job" thing. Sigh.
