"" it all ends.... ""

yes, its 9:45am.
yes, i didn't go to bed until 2:30am.
yes, i even made it to work early today....

whats wrong with me you might ask? well, i can do a midnight show like a rockstar!

last night - or rather - this morning at 12:01 i was sitting in a theater waiting to watch the very last ever Harry Potter film. its a bittersweet time because i don't want them to end - ever! but i've been waiting for this final movie for months and months!!



i came away just a tiny bit disappointed. i think the hype of the movie ruined the thrill for us. i don't think i was expecting more per-say, but i didn't come away totally blown away like i thought i would.

that being said, i DID love it!! like all the films, it was amazing! i love all the characters. i feel like i've watched them all grow up and like i know them somehow! (of course i don't and i'm not crazy like that...)

the battles were great! seeing it play out just like i'd read it so many times is always a thrill!


Snape is one of my favorite villans/heros. not only because of his character in the series, but because Alan Rickman is a great actor! i've liked him for years and he always seems to play that super slick villain part to a T!



and as for the main cast. they are just awesome! i can't say enough good things about them! they have such great chemistry between the 3 of them! and i've always thought that they were perfect picks for the characters, and that they played the characters perfectly!! i'm really going to miss a new HP movie coming out every year!! but i hope they go on to make more movies!

Ethan has taken a liking to Harry Potter. he hasn't yet gotten to watch the last 3 movies. and he pry won't for a long time. they are a little too graphic for a 4 year old. but he loves watching the first few when they are on tv, and even asks to watch the movies once in awhile!! so i'm excited for the day when he is old enough to be able to read the books! he is his mothers son and just eats that stuff up!!


if you are a Harry Potter fan, you will love this last movie. as always, there are pieces that are changed from the book. things that didn't happen in the right place, or that they just added into the movie. sometimes they just have to do that to make the movie work right. AND, if JK Rowling says its okay, then its okay with me!!


i hope everyone enjoys it!

"" she thinks my tractors sexy...."

ugh country music!! JEFF!!! he's got a country station playing and i feel like i only hear the same 5 songs over and over!

well, i got a new hair cut last night! i'm literally 4 weeks past my "normal time" to get it cut! so my hairs been going crazy and i LLOOVVEE it! she didn't do much to it, usually she does tons of layers and choppy. but i wanted it a little longer and a little less layers. and curls! i know i know, "you don't want curly hair" but i DO i DO! i have always wanted naturally curly hair! i know that if i did have it, i'd hate it. but i do like the curl!
anyhow, Jess did great and showed me how to curl and style my hair and i just love it! i have to go buy myself a curling iron, but i'm going to master my messy curl!



last night when i got home Matt took me out on a date! Ethan was his the Russell's at the ICubs(double header) so we had a night to ourselves! we went to..... Hardees for dinner. not very romantic but it was good! then we met Ann and Adam at the theater and went to see Inception! i wanted to see it as soon as i saw the first preview. the idea looked interesting and, lets face it, you can't go wrong with Leo DiCaprio! later i found out that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was also in it and he's one of my favorite actors!



Ben had told us that it was awesome! people had said it was mind blowing. and it did not disappoint! i have to say it was the most stressful movie i've sat through in a long time! a good stress.. .but still, i think Matt might have a bruised arm or hand because i kept hitting him!

the movie its self was brilliantly written. it blows my mind how people can come up with such a solid story based on something that's completely unnatural! the basis is that these people go into dreams to steal secrets. i can't say much because it ruins the plot. but they explain everything pretty well so you aren't totally lost.

Leo is the head honcho of the mission and i just think he's a wonderful actor. he has so many levels that anything you put him in he's brilliant at! also, hes yummy to look at! ;) JGL (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), i've loved him since 3rd Rock from the Sun, and as he gets older and older rolls in movies he seems to never miss! i'm totally smitten with him, and i'll see anything that he's made! but i love that hes a such a bad ass in this movie, complete with guns and everything!
Ellen Page is also in this and even though she hasn't had many movies, since Juno, i think shes wonderful. she brings that "younger" feel to the movie but is also full of brains. she figures out things that others don't even come close to! the other actors are great as well, but these are the 3 that i know well.



in the end, if you like a little suspense, a little drama, a little eye candy(ladies only), and a story line thats a little off the beaten path. this ones for you! i'd suggest going to see it in the theater, but if you have to wait just be sure to get it on BluRay and watch it on a big ass tv!!



back to work kids. have a good one!
