Something Old, Something New

Last night (Friday) I went out to dinner with a couple of friends, and then we met a couple more people to go see Twilight at the dollar theater (actually, the two dollar theater nowadays).

For anyone who has been living under a rock, or does not have a fantasy fan or a teenage girl in their social circle, Twilight is a book turned movie about a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire. It is extremely addictive to most people who pick it up and start reading, though not all. There were five of us meeting to see the movie. Of those five, two of us were seeing it for the third time. Two of us were seeing it for the second time, and one, lonely girl was seeing it for the first time. This lonely girl is also the non-addict, of course, because any addict would have seen the movie. I am not sure what makes it so addicting, but it is. It was a lot of fun seeing the movie again, and I want to go a fourth time. Maybe a fifth time, now that its in the dollar theater!! The DVD comes out on March 21st. I am writing that date down!!

Then, tonight, I thought we would try something new. A friend who we have not see much in the last few months came over. After helping us install a new light in our bathroom (the old one made cracking noises that scared me), and eating dinner, we settled in and he introduced us to a Sci-Fi series called Torchwood. It is a spin off from the Doctor Who series, if you are familiar with that. It was a lot of fun, both seeing him and being introduced to the series. The series is entertaining and a good source of conversation. He has left us with the first season to finish on our own, then we will need another tutorial, a Doctor Who intervention, and then off to his preferred season two. I guess that means besides having entertainment that is old and new, I have entertainment that is borrowed too!

Now on to find something blue...
