Welcome to My World (and a zombie movie)

  This is my third blogging attempt. Finding a subject to concentrate on is hard for me, my brain jumps all over the place. Someone can say one thing, and it leads me off on some totally unrelated topic. So the advice I read about creating a blog that has a one subject focus doesn't really work for me. Finally, I just said, screw it, I'm going to write about whatever I darn well feel like at the time.
  Welcome to that blog. :) When I say I will write about whatever I feel like, I mean exactly that. Movies, books, television, cooking, kids.  I have a lot of interests.  If you're looking for a daily dose of anything specific, you have come to the wrong place.
  So, first up, this weekend, my husband and I had a rare night out. When I say rare, I mean the last one was on our anniversary 2 months ago.  He convinced me to go see the zombie movie Warm Bodies. Now, I didn't take a lot of convincing, I enjoy a decent zombie movie. My favorite is Shaun of the Dead. Or I should say my previous favorite, because in my opinion Warm Bodies is the best zombie movie ever! If you're looking for a classic, scare your socks off, blood and guts movie, this is not the movie for you. I personally enjoy humorous movies that won't give me nightmares for a week.  This is that kind of movie. I loved how the main character, R, would talk to himself silently.  And I was completely unprepared for the ending.  I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but it did make me cry.  I liked the movie so much that I went right home and requested the book it's based on from the library. (I'm number five on the waiting list, by the way.)  Definitely a movie that I would see again.
