I spent most of today in the hosp with DH. He blacked out while driving and has no recollection of getting to where he found himself; miles away from his destination. He did it a second time while I was driving him to the Drs and it scared us witless. He's got 3 Drs and not a single one of them could tell us what happened or what's wrong. He can't drive until we know this has passed and that makes him more dependant on me or my sister. I think he was just too overwhelmed to let it really register how limiting it's going to be for him.
That's scary! Sending pixie dust and prayers your way that it all gets straightened out very soon!
Hi all.
I'm back. I have not got on scale but I bet I have gained 10 lbs. The trip was somewhat miserable so I consoled myself with a ton of food. I wore yoga pants home on the plane and I'm so afraid that when I get up for work tomorrow, none of my work clothes are going to fit.
Welcome home! So sorry to hear you had a miserable trip.
Its BELOW ZERO again... brrr! I did find a laundromat, so clothes are clean
wooHOOO! I walked 2 miles yesterday at the mall (before it opens) my ankles are sore! Tomorrow, I'm going to gun for 3! C25K here I come!
It is super cold here too Sandy! I hear it's supposed to be in the 50's here on Saturday though. I hope it's true!
twilight fans!!!! okay...just finished the first book. i have to say....i'm disappointed that edward and james didn't fight!!! or at least edward said they didn't. when bella asked him what happened to james he said that emmett and jasper took care of him. so i'm assuming he didn't fight him. but i know in the previews for the movie i saw that they did fight. i understand that a movie has to stray from the book a little bit but i don't know if i like them changing an entire part of the story line.
which leads me to my next question - what did you guys think of the movie? one of my best friends (erin - some of you met her at the peep meet at ohana) loves the books and she really hated the movie. she said it was really just cheesy and corny. she said that when edward was sitting next to bella in biology that he acted like he was trying not to throw up. that just seems stupid and over the top to me. and she said kristen stewart as bella was horrible. she was snotty and she didn't kid around with edward at all like she does in the book. part of their relationship is they poke fun at each other and she said that didn't happen in the movie. she also said they were up a tree together??????? what in the world is all that about?????
anyway, just wanted to get your opinions on the movie. i plan to see it when it comes out on DVD.
I have to say I was concerned by some of the previews I'd seen, and I knew that I WANTED to like the movie so much when I went into it, that I was worried that I'd be disappointed. And instead I was pleasantly surprised.
Well as far as Edward and James fighting in the movie, you'll have to watch it. I didn't think that part of the movie strayed that far from the book actually. I don't want to say too much about it since you haven't seen it yet, and I don't know if there are others who haven't but plan to.
As for the movie as a whole, I loved it!
Don't get me wrong. There are a couple of brief moments that I thought were a little bit cheesey and I would have approached differently. (I used to be a film student, and I was going to be a director, so maybe I still think like one?) But as a whole, I thought the film did a great job of capturing the intensity of Edward and Bella's relationship. And I thought it followed the book pretty well considering how much had to be left out. I could certainly tell that the director has primarily done indy films. But I felt like that feel fit this story. In the biology class, there was one brief moment when I thought that Edward looked like he was trying not to throw up too (at the very beginning), but the rest of the time I thought he behaved very much like I had it pictured in my head. I mean, he IS trying not to smell her and is struggling with it, so the gestures are similar. I loved Kristen Stewart as Bella. I think she did a great job of using her facial expressions to portray what the character was thinking, which was important since so much of the book was inner dialogue. The tree thing I don't want to say too much about since you haven't read all the books yet. No, it isn't a part of Twilight, but I'll just say it isn't as far out there as it seems.
OK, so there's your fillm critique of the day. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...
Now, if only I could get so lucky.
(No not the toothpaste ad....watch for the clip from the today show!)
I will buy the DVD when it comes out though but of course the book was a lot better as always.
Nervous but thinking of my mom more these days. Well I'm off, I'll try to stop by later and let you know what the surgeon said
Wendy. How are your classes going?
& congrats on the mammogram.
too! Hope everything looks up quickly!
