...in recovery... Eclipse recovery that is!

This has been a busy weekend.  Hosting an Eclipse Party Premiere on Saturday and then the movie last night.
I went to see Eclipse in IMAX and it rocked.  I really liked the angle the camera took on Bella as she walked to her car attempting to drive to the reservation. I know that it was a small thing but it was fresh.  But really from the start of the Eclipse I could tell the  film was going to have a different feel.
Without a doubt, this third installment rocked.
There were some things I did not like.  For example, the new Victoria. I kept on seeing Rachel in my mind but then it would be Bryce as the camera settled on Victoria's face.
The action prevailed and was superb.  The tent seen was.. oh so good... (Fire and Ice- Chapter 22). The love triangle was heart aching.

 

Wasn't the Eclipse right after 'summit' displayed on the screen neat as heck.  It was like a burning Eclipse. Wicked Cool.  And the screen writing was phenomenal.  Edward in regards to Jacob- "doesn't he own a shirt" or something like that!

Let's just say that I was on my seat anticipating the action and laughing at the lines out of Charlie (did I mentione I am Team Charlie- I think Billy Burke is a hottie), Jacob, Edward, Emmett, etc.  Oh, I really loved how Jasper got to shine.  The practice fight scene between him and Alice was adorable.

My mind and body is still recovering from the entire weekend.  For sure, I will need to see Eclipse again so then I can really soak up details.

*Emoticons* and *Acronyms*

I was just reading a blog post by Suza Kates where she had mentioned emoticons.  I just adore them but can never remember how to make anything more then a simple :) or :D or :P...

Giveaway: Stupid on the Road by Leland Gregory

Giveaway: 

Stupid on the Road by Leland Gregory

My mini review:

Has anyone ever left anything on the outside of their car and drove off?
Well, I have and apparently so did this German man.  He apparently left his brief case full of Euros and when driving on the freeway it broke open and the money flew everywhere. (p 50)  LOL. 

I have been thumbing through my copy now and again when I have time here and there and it's great!  Accounts like the German man made me realize that idiocy is not limited to any one geographic area.  We all have a bit of idiocy in us all!
