A Dark Knight

Last night, Stan and I went with John to go see the new Batman movie. I was not really that impressed with the movie but I do have to agree with what people have been saying Heath Ledger was genious in the movie! I just love watching actors when they are completely engrossed by a role. He created mannerisms for the Joker and stuck with them throughout not to mention the fact that he completely got rid of his own mannerisms to fully create the character. Actually his performance was so great that it made Christian Bale look horrible. The whole time I found myself getting really annoyed whenever Batman had screentime and longer to see the Joker again. I thought the plot was kinda weak and of course I really thought they made their big twist a little too obvious. The second I saw one small clue I was able to turn to Stan and say exactly what was going to happen. Although maybe I was just nerdier than everyone in the audience because they didn't seem to catch on until the action was actually happening. Is this vague enough for y'all who haven't seen the movie yet? I am trying to be nice and not really give anything away in case there is anyone reading this who hasn't been to see it yet.
My next movie to conquer is going to be Mamma Mia. I am so excited because I think that it is going to be lame but it is chock full of ABBA music! Yeah ABBA!!!!!! I am thinking since I need to avoid the sun a lot right now that the movies maybe the best thing for me this year. Plus once I have the baby I think that my movie times will be limited so I should get it all in now before it's too late.
This weekend we are going to be super busy. Trevor and Lauren are getting married on July 26th which I am really excited about. I think weddings are so cool and still gives me those feelings of when Stan and I got married. Even just watching people get married makes you remember everything that was going through your head before it all began. It's so crazy all those butterflys you get in your belly and then the day comes and you are on complete auto pilot for the whole day. What I loved was waking up the next morning and calling myself Mrs. Murgolo or saying that Stan was my husband and I am his wife etc. It was great on the honeymoon too since we put everything in my name so I could hear Grace Murgolo everywhere I went. It's a good way to get you used to your new name. You know what else is great about weddings is that everything is so new and exciting I love that!!!
Then on the 27th we are going out to dinner with my mom and dad to celebrate my dad's birthday. All in all it is going to be a huge weekend.
Luckfully this week is going to be really relaxing I just have some loose ends to tie up here at work and then I am coasting for the rest of the week. I have had some really busy weeks recently where the work was just piling up so I am happy I was able to get through it and still be sane. Now I know I need to enjoy these next few days because more work will be just around the corner. Although I think the next round is supposed to be relatively light so maybe it will be easier for me just around the bend.
