It skimmed the book, which is always frustrating to me. I liked the visuallizing of the characters, for myself. I would have picked different actors and actresses for Bella, Rosalee, well most of the vampires. They were supposed to be knock-down gorgeous and super elegant in walking and moving. If you hadn't read the book, it would have been too shallow to follow. Bella's father was perfect. The school kids acted perfectly goofy, as they do in reality. Bella's clothes were typical Washington/Oregon wear. It was still a very fun movie. 2008-11-22 http://www.pleonast.com/user/diannes?l=5&entryID=601852 The movie was better than I expected. Yeah, it was geared toward women, young women specifically. Everybody knows that! Duh! Geri and I got to the theater 2 hours early. I figured that was a little early, but no. The tickets for the 2 showings, were all sold out. The 12:05 A.M. show, already had about 100+ people, in line. Ours the 12:10 A.M., had about 20+ people in line. For those of you, whom went with us, to the midnight showings of Lord of the Rings movies and Harry Potter movies, this is a little line. Remember, we had to go to Bryan, not Humble, this time. There was about 90% young ladies, 9% grown women, and 'maybe' 1% guys. Awww, those guys were scoring MAJOR points. The poor sots (guys) whom were at the theater, for watching other movies, were pacing the Twilight line. LOL Lots of young ladies had the foresight to bring along playing cards and many groups sat upon the floor playing cards. Probably 40% of the Twilight attendees, wore appropriate Twilight shirts. ... 2008-11-21 http://www.pleonast.com/user/diannes?l=5&entryID=601705 It was really good!!!!!!!! 2008-11-21 http://www.pleonast.com/user/diannes?l=5&entryID=601096 What about getting a few laying hens? Hmmm.. I did order some heritage seeds. These are the non-hybrid type. OK, I admit since Obama was elected, I have been reading up on self-sufficiency stuff. 2008-11-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/diannes?l=5&entryID=600709 Rode the motorcycle, to the chiropractor, this morning. Can you say 49 degrees. Ok, why is there no degree symbol, on a keyboard? My truck is in the shop and I am stuck with the smelly truck, aka the Jim and the smelly dog take it to the dump, every week, truck. Modifying the leaf tube. Works pretty well. Got to go feed the horses. Tah, tah. 2008-11-18 http://www.pleonast.com/user/diannes?l=5&entryID=600255 The 'dog' truck shimmied itself to death. Put up the gutter covers. Need to buy more. Caught loose goats, (again). Cut hardware cloth for the screen house doors. Moved more compost to the future strawberry patch. Invented a leaf 'tube', to scoop up enormous piles of leaves. Plan to set up a permanent compost 'pen', today. Must plan the thanksgiving menu and shop. I think an armadillo is trying to get under the fireplace slab. How do you deter armadillos? Put up the hardware cloth. Added little knobs on the screen doors, about 18" from the bottom, for the convenience of my grandsons. Sprayed 'deer repellent' into the armadillo holes. I already had that stuff. Trying to cut some fencing. Can't locate 'good' wire cutters. They need longer handles, for leverage. 2008-11-17 http://www.pleonast.com/user/diannes?l=5&entryID=599375 Sarah Palin supporter attacked on Augsburg campus on election night Student says woman called her racist By Maricella Miranda mmiranda@pioneerpress.com Article Last Updated: 11/13/2008 04:11:29 AM CST She wore the button in support of her home-state candidate for vice president. Now Annie Grossmann, 18, a first-year student at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, says the Sarah Palin button led four women to attack her on campus on election night. "I didn't expect something like that to happen," said the Delta Junction, Alaska, native. The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating the assault, police spokesman Sgt. Jesse Garcia said Wednesday. No suspects have been identified. It was about 9:45 p.m. Nov. 4 when Grossmann left her dorm building, where she was watching the U.S. presidential election results unfold with a group of friends, she said. When Grossmann walked around the building, four women approached her. She did not recognize them. Before she said... 2008-11-14 http://www.pleonast.com/user/diannes?l=5&entryID=598894 2008-11-13 http://www.pleonast.com/user/diannes?l=5&entryID=598527 2008-11-12
