My daughter is visiting from Florida and we are having a great time. One thing we decided that we would do while she was here was to see Twilight’s Eclipse. We went to the matinee yesterday and had a great time. The movie was awesome. I saw the first two on DVD so I had nothing to compare to as far as seeing the Twilight movies in the theater. I enjoyed the deep rumbling sound effects that you get when you sit in a theater. I thought the movie followed the book closely and that the actors are getting better. Sorry, but I think Kristen Stewart is a poor actress. She did better though.

Life is so much more enjoyable around here since the weather cooled down. It isn’t like I want to be wearing snow boots or a heavy coat but we didn’t have any spring this year. It went from brrr to ugh. We have horrible humidity here in Indiana. Spring and fall are usually my favorite seasons. I was pretty grumpy going from winter straight to summer weather.

My desktop computer won’t let me access the Internet. I can open MSN Messenger so I know it isn’t my router or cable that is giving me fits. I cannot log in at IE nor Mozilla Firefox. It is so frustrating. I use the Internet for business so I have a tech coming out tomorrow. If anyone has any ideas of things I can try to fix this, please let me know. I hate to pay for another service call.

I feel like I am in an adventure movie! I am visiting my daughter in Florida and while she has appointments with work and such, I am trying to find my way around this area. It is so helpful to have a free web directory to help me find some things to do while I am here.

I found a wonderful bookstore that I could hibernate in. It has three floors full of used books, a cafe and free wireless internet service. I love to drink my coffee and read while sitting in a big comfy chair, which they provide.

I have decided to read Twilight to see what the big deal is with this story. I read two chapters at bedtime last night and got myself intrigued enough that I want to get right to reading at every moment now. I wonder if this is the first in a series of books and if so, how many books there are. Time to settle in and read. I could get used to this life! Have a great day everyone.

I have been seeing so many blog posts about the new movie Twilight that I had to find out what this movie is about. I felt left behind so I did a little research. I found out that this movie is based on the New York Times Best-Selling series written by Stephenie Meyer. The books are about a love affair between a teenage girl and a vampire. What?!!

Isabelle Swan moves from Phoenix to Washington where her father lives because of her mother’s remarriage to another man. Edward Cullen is a vampire who lives in a small town with his family. The family lives peacefully in that town without exposing their underlying truths and characteristics.

In her new school Isabella meets Edward. She soon finds out that he is a vampire but knows she is already drawn to him and could never leave him. After a while the enemies of the Cullen’s Family attacks Edwards on his weak point, Sarah.

This powerful story actually has a cult like following. There are over 350 fan sites devoted to this movie. The Twilight soundtrack became only the 6th movie soundtrack EVER to debut at #1 on the Billboard album charts before the movie itself debuted. You will find the best prices on the soundtrack at Buy.com. In fact, the sale price is half of what I priced it at the mall on Saturday.

The promoters of this movie were smart to put this movie out right at the holiday season. It will be fun to go as a family.
