Excited for this

I'm super excited about the upcoming movie adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre. Alice in Wonderland's Mia Waskowska is starring as Jane along side Michael Fassbender.  Having seen Alice recently, I think Mia will be the perfect fit for the role.  (Earlier this year, there was talk of Juno's Ellen Page as the lead. Although I was intrigued by the possibilities, I feel more certain Mia is the right choice.) The novel is at the top of my favorite books list so I'm anxious and excited to see this in motion picture. I would also like to give props to the designer of this poster. It's exactly what I picture when I think of this story.

The movie is due to appear in theaters March 11th, 2011.

Why My Blog is Named What It Is

It sure has been chilly in Minnesota this week! I've woken up to negative temperatures the last few days. But that's not everything. This past weekend, we got about 20 inches of snow! It accumulated over a day and a half. The above picture #1 (I apologize for) was taken through the glass of the front door. Picture #2 is a photo of our back deck. It already had some snow from the previous accumulation. But still. And Picture #3 is my very funny kitty, Mabel. Doesn't she look joyous? All three of these photos were taken with my new (!!!) NIKON D3000! I'm obviously still learning how to use it. But I'm loving it already!

Stay tuned for more blabbing.
