And the Winner is...

That's right, ECLIPSE!!!  Just got home from the midnight showing and I have to say in my opinion it is the best one yet.  Much better make up (uhm...except KS had a horrible, lifeless wig but Jasper had much better hair), better graphics, (although they could have been a bit better, still looked a bit herky jerky at times), the acting is much better from all the cast members and wooooo the storyline.  While still focusing on the triangle paid the battle it's proper due.  Oh, and the script was much better this time around, a lot of the key elements of the book were kept in there, maybe shifted around timeline wise but they still put in the necessary points.  Really, I can say that this was a great movie and not just for fanpires like myself.  Best line of the whole damn film came during the tent scene.  Bella is freezing and Jacob looks at Edward and says "Let's face it, I'm hotter than you!". Classic and in the film version oh so true!!

Woe is me...

So I've been computer-less for a few months now. My computer decided that it really liked this virus and then my wonderful husband "fixed" it by defraging and compressing and moving and basically ensuring that every single place the virus could go was thoroughly infected. In the end the only way to do anything was to completely reset my harddrive to 0 and wipe it clean. So...i was able to save some files, not all but some, I did have all but the last week of ebooks on my external harddrive and those i could redownload from the publisher so there was not a repeat of the great crash of 2008. Unfortunately all my word docs have decided that they are going to impersonate some odd format that microsoft office doesn't recognize. Not only that but i've had to reload office 4 times and it's still wonky. I'm sure a registry key is fucked up somewhere but i've yet to figure out which one. I tired using the Man's laptop but ugh i hate that thing. The kids computer has been set up to be used solely for gaming and doing anything on their is like taking a bath in a firepit. i finally gave up and just started using my iphone to surf. So, i'm behind on my reviews for FAR, behind on my updating on here, and in general behind on things for work. ICK. On the other hand the kids' computer works great on Facebook games so my farm is beautiful lol
