The Week Is Over!!

Just think, my last post I was thankful for Monday, LOL. Well, I have had a hideously busy week and not much time to stop and smell the roses or in this case, visit my buddies out in the blogosphere. I'm hoping to make the rounds over the weekend.

Some awesome news, fantastic author and friend to the Imaginarium, Jeffrey Beesler will be here tomorrow. Yay! He's currently on a blog tour to promote his magnificent new novel, Spell of Entrapment, which you should pick up, immediately.

In some film news... Let The Hunger Games begin. I am excited to see this movie as I have just finished the first novel. Talk about a breath of fresh air for girls. Katniss Everdeen is the polar opposite of dopey Bella Swan and should be held up as a heroine girls can look up to. She's smart, athletic, and best of all, can take of herself. No sparkly vamps and puppies need to make her decisions for her.

Anyway, I am off to the grind. I'll be later and get back to visiting you all. Have fun this weekend, my friends, you are all amazing to me. :)

*The awesome kitty graphic comes Graphics Hunt.

  1. HaHa, Bella on Twilight is absolutely horrendous! There's a stray female cat that roams around near my temporary home who reminds me of Bella. The 'Toms' fight over her while she remains expressionless.

    Have a fantastic and productive weekend!

  5. Dopey Bella Swan. Couldn't have said it any better myself.

    I saw the Hunger Games movie at midnight. Thought it was terrific.

    1. That's awesome! I love those opening midnight shows. The best people are there.

      Dopey Bella...Katniss would shoot her and string her up. ;)

    1. I love that Katniss is a strong, athletic and intelligent young woman, who is also saving her family and people. Something we only ever see boys doing.

  9. I am not jumping up and down to see Hunger Games. Many years ago I watched the Japanese film, Battle Royale. From what I've seen and read, Hunger Games is the American equivalent to this foreign film. I'm not saying the author ripped this version off, but you have to wonder at the stiking similarity of the premise. I'm willing to bet that Battle Royale will still be my favorite.

    1. There's so much ripping off out there, it's awful. However, I'm happy to see a strong young woman on screen after the godawful Bella Swann and Twilight ilk.

  10. I totally plan on reading the book, honest. I don't want to see the movie without having already read the book, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. No one here is exactly freaking out about the movie.

    1. I hope you get to read the book soon. It is a very excitingtale. I'm not a first in line kind of movie goer any more, though I do love going at some point during that heady first release weekend. Outside of me, every one's in the same boat as you, not freaking out about seeing this one way or the other.

  11. That cat is the most hilarious picture I've seen in a while. And FYI, I read all the Hunger Games books, they're badass! And I saw the movie at midnight, it was the shit. I was legitimately surprised by what an excellent translation it is.

    1. I loved the first book and can't wait to red the others. Katniss is a total badass.

      Seeing a movie in that first showing is lots of fun. I did it when Tim Burton's first Batman came out. I'm happy to hear they stuck with the book for the most part. I know there's always something that has to be cut because book and film are two different mediums.

  12. Bizarre KAT-niss is what that photo represents. Hunger Games here we go. Super-excited! Hope all is copacetic in Mel land :)

    1. LOL! Loved that cat the moment I saw it. KAT-niss for sure.

      I can't wait to see Hunger Games. You know I am. An ass-kicking, smart girl is what I am all about. ;)

      Thanks, yes, things are finally getting better.

  13. TGIF - happy weekend all! Hunger Games? Hm. No, haven't heard of that one. ;) Yeah, not for me, you guys go on. I'm with Wendy in this case. I did get to see Casablanca on The Big Screen Wednesday night - now THERE'S a movie!

    1. LOL!

      Casablanca is a great movie. I hope to catch it on the big screen here. Don't know if I will as it is a Tuesday night performance or something weird like that. I hate when they do that. :(

  14. I'm going to Hunger Games tomorrow--so excited!! I have a friend who made me see all the Twilight films with her. I think when Kristen Stewart chose to play Bella like she was always on the verge of vomiting was spot on to her character, lol.
