Chronicles of Narnia

Today went pretty well! I talked to my mom on the phone and we talked for about an hour...whoo! I don't think I've talked to my mother so much in just a few days! But it's been really, really good! Then, Laureen and I went for about a 40minute walk and came home, got ready, did some journaling, and went to my g-ma's house to pick up a table and chairs for our Christmas partay manana. I sat and chatted with my grandma for about an hour or so and than headed out to Borders...ooo...bookstores are bad for me. I sat there for at least an hour looking through the Christian literature section. I of course had already made my rounds in the cookbook section and the health and wellness part of the store, but since I don't really want a specific book (besides maybe the Joy of Cooking or the Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks), I passed them up and headed to the Christian lit section. I picked up one book and a new devo, both of which I am pretty psyched about diving in to! Woot woot! Yeah, but those previously mentioned books are rangin from 30-40 dollars and a $20 gift card just won't pass the buck..if you don't mind my pun! Muhahaha!
But yeah, so then I picked up some salad material, started the traditional seven layered salad (for Christmas of course), and picked up Laurizzle. than I finished the salad and headed out to meet my two sistas and mumsy for Chronicles of Narnia, which was oh so very good, but it could have been better. Sorry fans, but my impressed button is on short order. I like a lot of things, but getting easily impressed is something I still have to work on, eh? But yeah, it was very good. I grew up watching the BBC version of it, very corny, yet artistically claiming for that day and age. They definitely had it goin' on in this recent remake. I envied their dresses, well Susans' mostly...heehee...man, I want a dress like that! The computer animation was very well presented, however you could definitely tell at certain times that it was conjured up from the inner workings of a mechanical object, but most times it was hardly noticeable and because you were caught up in the plot, made it barely memorable. Oh, though watching it now and really catching on to all those connections to Scripture made it that much more worth watching...ooh! So good and just seeing some of that stuff and knowing how it connects to the Bible, I'll admit it, I was getting emotional! It was very good though. Probably won't go see it again, but I may buy it when it comes out on DVD or VHS, if VCR's are still around *wink*
By the way, Stephen Arterburn is amazing. Touched by God, so good.
