Haven't managed to get much writing done today... but I've been thinking of doing a story or two for the 30-minute challenge at Master and the Wolf, the Snupin Fuh-Q-Fest

I did go to the library and I went grocery shopping. So that's good. And I got 10 hours of sleep, which rocked- much needed.

I also saw Amazing Grace (7 people in the theater so it was like a private screening and as the first one there, I got to pick the best seat, right in the middle- yay). First off, OMG that was a fantastic movie! I thought it did a great job with the subject matter. I cried at the happy parts and the sad parts. It was strong and touching and did a really good job of covering a lot of ground in a very complex arguement in only a few hours. Second, OMG Ioan was AMAZING on the big screen- especially since his character is constantly brooding and sick. He was pushing my hurt/comfort buttons every five minutes, I swear! And the bagpipes *swoon* There is no music I like better than loud bagpipe music and I was damn glad to hear it during the movie. There are a lot of moments that seemed a little "typical" I guess you could say... but there were a lot of incredible moments of beauty and force to balance that out. I'm VERY glad I went to see it.

I'm glad that you're back and had a nice and safe trip. :-)

Ioan Gruffudd was on Craig Ferguson last week. They were so cute together. It's always funny and cute when others from Craig's neck of the woods come on. Amazing Grace movie also has Rufus Sewell in it as well which is another plus. Oh, and it also looks pretty interesting, too. I know what you mean about seeing a movie in an empty theater being like your own private screening. The same thing happened to me when I saw Flags of Our Fathers and the new Alamo movie.

You're so lucky. I want to see that movie, but no one will go with me. We ended up seeing The Number 23 and Wild Hogs. I have one friend who will see it, and I suppose I could go alone, but I have this big test thing, RENT down in Detroit, a flute recital, a flute competition, and a forensics competition filling me next weekends.

But it was good? It looked amazing.

Welcome home. Glad your conference went well, sorry about the sitting in your room stuff :(. I would have called you if I was there.(I am pretty dull though) I probably would've done the same thing though, sitting by the phone :(
Talk to you soon.
