Meant to post this sooner, but anyway...

So, I think Kellie already knows this, since she "liked" my facebook status about it, but last night I watched Hugo.  I loved it.  There was lots of gears and clocks and keys and the like...making it kind of, steampunk?...but whatever ya call it, it's the sort of thing I love.  It also involves a drawing automaton, trains, and early films, which I thought was pretty cool.  It's set in France in the 1930s, but practically everyone has British accents, which didn't really bother me because I prefer a British accent to a French anyway.  There wasn't any magic in it, but it felt magical, and it's a sweet story, with a just right amount of emotion, and interesting thoughts.
Hugo and Isabelle with the automaton Hugo repaired.

Oh and I saw Puss in Boots.  It was kind of cute.

Right now I am listening to samples of Ingrid Michaelson's newest album.  Pretty good so far; I think "Fire" is my favorite, but I haven't heard it all.

I should probably wrap this up now; I am in my room, but my dad is making us all sleep downstairs tonight because there is a tornado warning until 5 in the morning.  Hah.  A tornado, in the mountains!  Strange weather.  So I shall leave the comfort of me bed to avoid being potentially crushed in my sleep by a tornado-torn tree.

On that thought, nightie night!

  1. Ever since watching the Oscars I have wanted to see Hugo desperatly, glad you liked it :) Which means I will most likely like it too.
    I don't think I have ever heard of Ingrid Michaelson, maybe I have, I don't know, but I will have to check her out.
    Stay safe!!
