Yesterday, I saw Water For Elephants, and I liked it!  I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was really good.  It’s been a while since I’ve read the book, but it stuck fairly closely to the book, from what I remember.  There were a couple parts that were hard to watch, and I ended up not looking, but I got through it.  They left out a good chunk of the book, but despite that, it was a really good adaptation.  At some point I’ll probably give Water For Elephants another read, when I don’t have so many books checked out from the library.

One idea that has popped into my head is the idea of going to culinary school and become a pastry chef.  I have no idea where it’ll go, but I’ve discovered a love of baking over the last 7 months, and it seems interesting enough.

I stayed up to watch the royal wedding, and I will say that the hats brought up a couple questions.

One: How on earth did some of the hats not fall off?  They were at such odd angles for a hat, and yet were firmly on the heads of the guests.  I’m guessing they used bobby pins, or fastened the hats in some way, but still.

Two: How could some of the women see where they were going?  There were several very large hats, and from the camera angle, it honestly looked like they couldn’t see where they were going!  Furthermore, how did the people sitting around them manage to get a good look at the ceremony?

Maybe the weird hat angles were so people could see…like a response to the overly large hats.  I would like to say that I thought most of the outfits were ugly.  Not that ABC really showed anything.  Maybe I should’ve watched it on a different channel- actually there were some technical difficulties with ABC, so I switched to CBS, and the CBS guys weren’t nearly as annoying as the ABC people. 

Have a great day, and a great weekend everyone!
