Artsy Fartsy

Last Sunday I started a 4 book series that I just couldn't read fast enough. Twilight is the first book, book 2 is called New Moon, book 3 is Eclipse and the 4th and final book is callled Breaking Dawn. The movie Twilight comes out in December.........CAN'T WAIT!! It is the story of a human girl whom falls in love with a male vampire. It is without a doubt a love story. I finished the last book just a little while ago. The 4 books have a total of 2,528 pages, which I read in just 7 days! Maybe that will give you an idea of how good the story is.



I also recently went to see the movie Mamma Mia, WOW, what a great movie. I have always been a big fan of movie musicals. My grandmother and I loved to watch them when I was growing up, Singing in the Rain & My Fair Lady are still some of my favorites, of yeah I almost forgot......Meet me in St. Louis & Hello Dolly!



Some of my other favorites that are not from that time period would be:



Grease

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Evita

Andrew Lloyd Webbers Phantom Of The Opera

Moulin Rouge (I like this movie but it is one that I can't watch over and over again, if I see it once every few years then I am ok with that)

Rent





There are so many that I would love to see live, but of course Bill does not have the same taste for these that I do. But Kayla is getting older and she enjoys these movies very much, she also loved Mamma Mia. So I am looking forward to being able to take her. I have only seen Phantom & Evita live so there is alot out there for us to see.



As far as the movies go, Mamma Mia is at the top of my list along with Grease, these are 2 movies that I could never get sick of watching! If going to a theater was not so pricey I would be going back to see Mamma Mia again & again.




I guess that's all I got to say about that.
