ANOTHER LAZY DAY and Movie Monday

I am YET AGAIN sitting around my house today. All of my classes got cancelled so I'm taking another day to let my voice rest and heal from tour. I am going to get far too used to having this much sit around time. I can't complain too much though because it gives me a ton of time to read and think. These are things that have been seriously lacking in my life. I'm feeling really grounded. Its nice. I have absolutely no plan for the day. I'm currently watching re-runs of House. Gotta love that cooky Dr.!! :)

I finished reading Torn last night. I have mixed feelings about it but that's all in the review that I posted earlier today. I started reading Under the Never Sky.

Its a dystopic novel that seems to be getting really mixed reviews. Everyone either really liked it or really didn't. We'll see how it goes. I'm on page ten and a bit confused but I'm sure all will reveal itself in due time! I'm definitely going to have to step away from young adult after this though. They fry my brain if I read too many in a row. I'm going to read The Help next. I really want to see the movie but I haven't read the book yet. So I need to get on that. I'm told that the book is spectacular and the movie is pretty disappointing. Isn't that how it always goes though. Film makers just can't capture the things that make a book truly great.

Speaking of movies!!! It's Movie Monday!
I'm going to start of the Monday trend with an amazing little film called Armageddon!

This is one of my favorites. It is funny, dramatic, witty, horrible, suspenseful, tear-jerking, and star-studded. It has everything a good film needs. It brought us "Leaving on a Jet Plane", "Don't Want to Miss a Thing", and Ben Affleck as the rough-neck that we want to marry. Liv Tyler was a sassy daughter, Bruce Willis was an over-protective father, Owen Wilson was an annoying, chatty youth, and everyone wanted to save the world. It had romance, explosives, musical numbers, heart, and spaceships. Movies have been striving to create the miracle that is Armageddon. But they'll never come close. It is a movie that really deserves to have this Monday dedicated to it.
