Finally!

Brooke and I were up, showered, and at the theater (the Rave) by 10:25 this morning. I bought tickets online (www.movietickets.com) for Dark Knight. I was so excited I was about to pop. Brooke had already watched the movie, as have just about all of my friends.

The movie was absolutely everything I thought it would be and then some. You know how most Batman movies are dark in the sense that you can't hardly tell what is going on because it's dark (no light)? Well, this one isn't like that. They actually have scenes filmed in the DAYLIGHT! Yeah! How about that?! The movie lasts for two and a half hours. You won't know that though. When it's over you'll think, "Nooooo!"

Ok, and you all know how much I've loved Heath Ledger over the past nine or so years, right? Well, his performance in this movie is better than I ever expected. I knew he'd be good, because I truly believe he was an amazing actor. However, that being said, and even if I didn't love him to pieces, I'd have to say that I can't imagine any actor (ANY actor) who could ever play the Joker better than Heath did. He BECAME the Joker. And if no one had ever said, "That's Heath Ledger playing the Joker," you'd not know who is playing that part, that's just how good he is.

I only have two things about the movie that I didn't care for: I love Christian Bale as Batman (I love him anyway), but I don't like how dramatically he changes his voice when he puts the Batman suit on. It's just odd the voice he uses. He IS my favorite Batman though. My other thing is that they didn't show Joker enough. The character was SO good...he should've had more screen time.

After we left the theater, Brooke and I went furniture shopping. Marshall and I have been married for over 22 years and we have never bought a piece of furniture. Ever. We have bought mattresses, but that's it. Everything else in our house has been given to us. :) We're looking for new living room furniture but never found a thing that we liked.

We had lunch/supper and then came on home. We had some tremendous storms move through. We sat on the back porch for quite a while and then I was so sleepy that we came on in and now we're sitting in bed watching tv. Marshall is working in Bristol, Tenn., and Cain is in Fla. with my aunt and uncle, so it's just us gals. :)

Night!
