Happy Hunger Games - May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor

Last night, Kate and I went to see The Hunger Games at 12:01am. (I guess that was this morning.) Let me tell you...after reading all three books in about 5 days and then rereading book 1, I was SO PUMPED to go see this movie. It really was a fantastic movie!  Of course, it needed to stay within the PG13 guidelines, so there wasn't as much gore or battle detail as I had expected to see, but that aside, I was satisfied with how it panned out.  I am such a fan of Peeta Mellark that today, I find the young, fourteen year-old Megan crushing on him...Hard! Embarrassed? Nope. He's uhDORable and I will not deny that. I think everyone should read the books and watch the movies. They're so entertaining!

On another note, I recently have come across a young, budding musician (Thanks for the heads up, Ellen DeGeneres)  Her name is "Birdy" and she's 16 years old, from the UK. She's got an incredible voice and such a musical talent. She's been covering songs and giving them her own twist and musical touch.  Give her a listen. Here is her version of the song "Skinny Love"  by Bon Iver ("Bonny Bear")   


She covers songs from The Postal Service, The Smashing Pumpkins, James Taylor, Cherry Ghost, and more. She's got a lot of talent and her voice is so beautiful.  If she keeps on singing and writing songs, she'll be something really great someday! 

Anyway, I'm exhausted from having only slept 3 hours last night this morning. So I'm going to go walk around outside or something. It looks like it was a beautiful day out there. Too bad I was stuck inside all day. BOOOOO!  Enjoy the song, and I'll be back soon to write more!

Two things. 1. I'm torn about the Hunger games, I really want to read the books cuz I know they are always so much better, but it takes me about 4 months to read a book. So... I'll probably just go to the movie. I never read a book after seeing the movie cuz that spoils the book for me. 2. I like that singer...pretty voice, thanks for sharing that.

I"d listed to the singer, but I'm at work, so I'll have to check her out later! I will probably never read those books because I dont' read books anymore...I go to bed exhausted and fall asleep to the TV, haha. Maybe someday! I'm glad you like them and and that you've found your 14yr old self again, teehee. Love you silly CWMP!
