Finally watched Bridge to Terabithia tonight.
New classmate Leslie Burke (AnnaSophia Robb) unlocks a world of fantasy and imagination for fifth-grader Jesse Aaron (Josh Hutcherson) in this magical adventure based on Katherine Paterson's best-selling book. Rivals at first, the two outcasts eventually become friends and create the make-believe kingdom of Terabithia, where they reign supreme and plot vengeance against the school bullies.
Everything I'd heard from people was that it wasn't that great, it was boring, etc. I admit it wasn't what I thought it would be, but I liked it way more than those other people seem to. And oh my god, it had me sobbing. Was NOT expecting that! It was good though. I would watch it again.
Today's work news update....not much new to report. They said they'd start taking down the job posting tomorrow, start going thru and beginning selecting the 'lucky winners.' I'm really anxious to see how this turns out. Still not thrilled about having to change at all, but each day has me a little more at peace with it.
Oh, they said today that within a year one more line would probably be on the 24/7 schedule. AND if the one big contract they're working on now takes off, one *other* line will also go to the 24/7 schedule. That would leave only one line on normal 8-hour days, and that line currently barely has enough work to get thru the week anyway.
Ha! Casey asked me "If I was going to dress up like someone in the '80s, what would I wear?" LOL....yep, it's homecoming week. So we've been Googling '80s stuff and watching great '80s music videos on YouTube. Woot!! Got the obligatory Duran Duran playing right now.
"...from mountains in the north, down to the Rio Grande..."

ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA! Brain imploding--how did we get this old???
I hope you're gonna dress him up like Pete Burns .... Sorry--King Bitch, I mean.
Terabithia--I haven't seen the movie, but I know what happens that made you a sobber.
Yeah, I knew that was going to happen before I ever started watching the movie. Ty or Casey had been talking about it at some point. Didn't matter though, it was a sobfest anyway...maybe not so much that it happened, but the reactions after.
