When the Cold Sounds Appealing

Picture it: A story of love, hate, scholars learning the truth of men at the front of battle, death, boys becoming men, and forgiveness...all during the time frame of Napoleon's invasion of Russia.

You know what I'm getting at...right? What? Another hint? Okay, Mel Ferrer. And don't say that you've never heard of him. Another? Henry Fonda. And yes...he is related to the workout lady. Okay...I know you'll get it this time. Audrey Hepburn. Uh huh, see? Even if you don't watch her films, the name still catches some interest, right?

Fine, for those of you who aren't yelling at me to "get on with it!" I'm talking about "War and Peace." The movie. I wasn't brave enough to tackle the book first.

*shuffles and stares at feet shamefully*

Uh...anyway! It was 3 1/2 hours, but worth every minute I got to look at Mel Ferrer in an officer's uniform! But aside from the new (and totally bizarre) infatuation (Mel Ferrer, RIP 2008), it was truly an amazing film!

Thanks to it, I now have a new mission: to read Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" cover to cover. That's right. I'm going to take on this 1,225-1,475 page monster...and I have a feeling I'm going to love it! Well...I have experience with Lord of the Rings and The Once and Future King that have prepared me for this...but to be on the safe side, I am going to picture Mel Ferrer every time Prince Andrei comes up.

First!!

If you are on Facebook, than you know that so many consider being the first to comment on something, very important....I am not one of these people. Instead I start a blog so that I can have the power of labeling something "first."

Bwahahaha!

If you like blogs that stick to a certain subject matter....keep moving. I am not the type of person to stick to one topic AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! However, expect to hear alot about theater, books, music, and movies, as well as other oddities that tempt my interest.

So...sit back and relax. Then freak out and react.
