Current stuff and Stuff I like

So we definitely went to Minneapolis and I'm glad. It was nice to get away. We stayed at the Hilton in Bloomington which is my favorite hotel. Not only is it pretty and modern, it is also affordable and the food in the restaurant is amazing. We did the usual things such as wander around Mall of America (a couple of times actually), wandered around IKEA, went to the Albertville Outlet Mall, and checked out Target. I did lots of swimming and sitting in the hot tub.

On a special side note: I finished the Twilight series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn) and it was friggin amazing. I read all four books in approx 2 weeks (there are about 700 pages each). So if you like the supernatural definitly read these!! They are now in my top three for books.

1. Harry Potter series

2. Twilight series

3. His Dark Materials (Golden Compass, the subtle knife, the amber spyglass)

Other books I like:

A Clockwork Orange
The Chrysalids
Brave New World
Wicked (pretty much all the Gregory Maguire books, Son of a Witch, Lost, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, etc.)
The Catcher and the Rye
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Ludes
Bitter is the new Black
Memoirs of a Geisha
The Spiederwick Chronicles

and so on.

Movie Reviews:

Iron Man: I watched Iron Man last night and I am going to have to say that the hype was overrated. Robert Downy Jr. is super good looking in this movie and I liked his character but the story was kind of all over the place. They didnt spend enough time developing the other characters. Oh well its at the cheap seats if your interested.

Wall-E: I watched Wall-E a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely loved it. I am such a sucker for cute things and Wall-E is the cutest little robot there is (he is such a mini Jonny 5). I am going to have to admit that I cried several times during this movie but I would definitly watch it again. Also the short film before the film was pretty good too!

The Dark Knight: I watched this film on opening night because after watching Batman Begins, I just couldnt wait to see the sequil. So this movie lives up to its expectations because they take the time to establish the characters and build up the story. They also take plenty of time establishing the villan for the next one. This film was fantastic. I am going to watch it again when it comes to IMAX.

Music (why not I`ve talked about everything else):

I havent been listening to much lately but I will say that my favorite new covers group is now The Lost Fingers- Here is why:
