Not necessarily a "Monday Mourning"

Yeah, here is it, Monday again. In general, I loathe Monday's...but not always...just usually. Today though, Monday is feeling a bit different. Nothing is really out of the ordinary, good or bad. In fact, there is snow on the ground, and that alone should have me in a horrid mood, but it doesn't. I have a bit of a headache, which is usually a bad thing too, but not so bugged by it today. Wish I could pinpoint the X factor here and clone it on every Monday. Could it be that I found a new cake decorating site (see it here)? Maybe...

Today is seeming pretty random in that fact, I'm in a oddly good mood for a Monday. Chuck is still alive (in case anyone was wondering). Although, I think he's due for a good aquarium cleaning, a very good cleaning actually.

Maybe it's optimism for spring to come sometime soon. So many things to look forward to when the weather is better...ultimate frisbee, roller blading, hiking (I will spend more time outdoors this spring/summer), etc. Yeah, maybe that's it...

Roommate and I had friends over for our weekly Sunday dinner/movie night last night. We have a very interesting and eclectic group of friends. I like that, not having a group of carbon copies doing and thinking the exact same things. I even made it through the night without killing Roommate for his need to correct everything I did in the kitchen. So when you read this Roommate...you may be the expert on frisbee, finances, computer stuff...but in the kitchen...you're not...so there! I still love your guts though...and imagine I always will.

We watched Twilight last night. I'd seen it before and think there were a few areas it could have been better, more like the book. But honestly, I did like it. As for a book to movie, it did pretty good at staying true to the story, unlike some books to movie, such as The DaVinci Code. Sorry Tom Hanks...you're just no Robert Langdon. I completely understand the need to sometimes change, add or remove elements from the book to make it into a movie format. But why change the major plot points of the book, when they would have fit into the movie beautifully...why? I'm not looking forward to Angels & Demons being made into a movie.

Movies I am looking forward to though...

1. Star Trek
2. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
3. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
4. Terminator Salvation
5. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

So, take your pick...or maybe it's me that should take my pick...anyhow, for some god-only-knows-why reason...I'm having a great Monday!
