I treated myself to a movie over the weekend. Twilight.
I know, I know… Whatevs. I read the entire series. I admit I *loved* the books. LOVED even. In all caps. Just like that. I expected to hate the movie. I figured it would be nothing like the book. I thought the characters would be all wrong. You know what? I loved it. Sure it was not nearly as amazing as the book. There were moments where I was like, ” This scene will never work”. Sometimes I was right (like the sparkly skin bit, but I thought that was dumb in the book too… I come from the Anne Rice people). Sometimes it was so dead on I got goosebumps. The 2 leads were the best cast, in my opinion. Edward especially. Robert Pattinson is soooo dreamy! Anyhoo, I loved the thing overall and could have sat and watched it again. It was late tho, so I had to go to bed.
Other than that it was a fun yet low-key weekend. A drink here, a brunch there, some good quality time with friends. Not the whole group, but still… Nice. Yanno?
work is crazy. The two top positions in the building were replaced. One had retired, one was promoted. The new leaders reported today. The rest of management (mostly me) was on edge all day. I hate change unless I create it, and even then it is a process. So I kinda feel all chaotic in my mental workspace right now. Plus the new “second in command” chews gum. I HATE *HATE* gum chewing. all the ‘smack, smack, smack, smack, *pop*, smack…’ makes me absolutely insane. I may have issue with that. Of course I will mention it, but Day One didn’t seem like the time.
So how are you?
