Recap - and interesting discoveries

OK - So, quickly let me recap the past few days. First and foremost, Thanksgiving was great. I worked a lot to get everything ready, but this day was truly not as stressful as Thanksgivings past. Our meal was great - if I do say so myself - and the deserts and rolls that everyone else brought were great (especially the rolls, Thanks, KT). There was a great deal of quality time with the family and the day ended with the coldest game ever - 0 degree windchill and 16 degrees without the wind. Needlesstosay, I wimped out at half time and went home with my Aunt Patty. In the parking lot a random girl got into the car with us and refused to get out. She thought my aunt was Ferris and I was Betty. She was so drunk and the "last one hit by lighting" whatever that means. If you want to hear that whole story, please ask - it is hilarious.

The night before Thanksgiving, TJ and I went to see RENT. It was great!! They truly did a wonderful job adapting it to the big screen. I thought we would either love it, hate it or be disappointed. Loved it was the outcome! We didn't get home until 12:45 and then had to prepare the Turkey for baking. I was uber tired but whatever - it was totally worth it.

Now, let me talk a litte about the picture on my page. I have wanted to see Brkeback Mountain for a long time. I am an IMDB junkie so to speak and I like to look ans see what my favorite actors and actresses are up to. All that know me know that I love Dawsons Creek, so I look into those characters often. I have known that Michelle Williams (Jen on Dawsons Creek) was going to be in this movie with Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal to be realesed in late 2005. I have wanted to see it and wanted to see it. I love Heath and Jake as well as all of my Dawsons cast - why would I not love this movie? I had no idea what it was really about and didn't really care either (again, Heath, Jake, Dawsons!).

Well, as we walked into RENT, there was a poster up for the movie and I got so excited. I told TJ how much I wanted to see the movie and the I couldn't wait. Then there was a trailer for it before RENT. Now, the tagline for Brokeback Mountain is "Love is a Force of Nature." and IMDB's plot summary is "A raw, powerful story of two young men, a Wyoming ranch hand and a rodeo cowboy, who meet in the summer of 1963 sheepherding in the harsh, high grasslands of contemporary Wyoming and form an unorthodox yet life-long bond--by turns ecstatic, bitter and conflicted." I wasn't quite expecting that their "unorthodox yet life-long bond" meant that Heath and Jake are lovers who are married and leading secret lives. I still want to see it, but I am not sure about it now - Heath and Jake making out? Making Love? Wierd. I will post more after I see the movie in January I assume (it is out in NYC and LA Dec 9, expanding Dec 16 and full release in January - it won't come to Mo'town on expanded release I don't think).

All in all, a great holiday, and I hope everyone enjoyed theirs as well. I am thankful for my wonderful husband, wonderful and healthy friends and family, lazy days and my baby dogs!

Off to Philly for a wedding. Linz:)
