The HUNGER GAMES!

It's official, Tim Tebow belongs to the Jets now, so those two guys with the Tebow jersey's can relax!  And Peyton Manning is a Bronco now, so maybe we'll convincingly win a football game this year from the beginning and not just on some 4th quarter fluke, although those are pretty fun to watch.  Whatever happens, I still believe the Broncos are rebuilding...my only concern now is having the proper offensive line to actually protect Manning from further injuries!  Only time will tell!  And I'm also a bit skeptical on how Peyton is going to look in orange...

An update from yesterday's high speed chase:  Apparently, some douche bag was shooting at a car with two ladies in it and then took off (ladies are ok) in his yellow mustang.  Some guy tried to follow him, but got bullets shot at him also, so he retreated.  Then a pursuit ensued through the westside of the city, missing a set of Spikes thrown across the road just before the freeway on-ramp.  He proceeded to get on the highway gaining speed up to around 150 and was being followed by at least the 17 cops that I saw.  He eventually got hit somehow by a large semi truck, then got out and proceeded to flee on foot, when cops (multiple it sounds like) started shooting and the suspect was struck and killed.  Unsure of whether he was running with his firearm and shooting at cops.  Just goes to show that had he not resisted arrest in the first place, he might still be alive today, albeit in a jail cell, but alive!

Next bit of business...I am SO FRIGGIN EXCITED for the Hunger Games to come out!  It opens in theaters tomorrow, and we are scheduled to go on Sunday afternoon!!  I haven't been this excited about a movie since the last Harry Potter came out!  This was an amazing book, and I can't wait to see the movie.  For those of you who haven't read the book, go do it now!  For those of you who only care to see the movie, you'll still get the full effect.  Although I've heard the directors and producers took some creative license with the film, they've kept the storyline intact and the reviews are saying it's gonna be great!

I'm actually really surprised that I was even able to get out of bed this morning.  The head cold has officially reared it's ugly head and now it's just laughing in my face!  My throat is sore, my nose is stuffed, my eyes are burning, my head is throbbing, and my body is sore.  I'd much rather be in bed right now, but here I sit at work thinking of all the things on my list that I have to get done!  So, if you don't mind, I think I'll go back to thinking about how excited I am about the hunger games.  I even have a copy of the book on my computer, so maybe I'll just start reading!

Have you read the book?  Are you going to see the movie?

Have a happy Thursday!

  1. LOVED the books,so I can't decide if I'm excited about the movies. Worried they'll ruin it, hopefully they're done well.

  2. Sorry you're sick! I'm dying to see the movie, I adored the books! I am reading it out loud with my oldest and we aren't done yet so it looks like we won't be going until next week, I'm supper bummed to have to wait, but thrilled that she's enjoying it as much as I do.
