yes, I saw it

I saw the Twilight movie yesterday!!! I read the first book, and it was alright, but not good enough to make me want to read the whole series. The movie was what I expected from the books, and I think this would make a great CW mini series, and would have stayed more true to the chronology of the book. I'm going to see the rest of the movies, because as a fan of campy teenage angst filled dramas, this was FABULOUS (with jazz hands going on). Somehow I missed in the book that all the talking of blood was really an analogy for S-E-X. I think that in the books there was enough detail and words on everything else, I must have glazed over it. But in the movie, I was scandalized! The book was just over worded smut, I guess! Hmmmmmm...

On another note, I got my DTV converter boxes today. Our main TV needs a better antenna, and that is with the upgrade! I also discovered that I can't watch CBS yet, because they have not switched over. I have been muttering bitters for the last hour as I hooked it up because, I did not sign up to be cable-less, I thought my happy life would provide that for ever, or until I had gotten mad at ALL the cable and satellite companies, which would take pretty much the rest of my life. Then the bitters continued as I had to do electronic work. I hate hooking up wires and plugging stuff in and finding plug strips and paying attention to set it up right. And then to have it not work out as good as it is supposed to!!! I now have to get someone to hook up a real antenna outside like the hillbilly I am to be able to watch TV from the couch! What fun, bring on the holidays, I'm full of cheer!

glad to see another hillbilly joining the ranks - we can land aircraft with our antenna!
