Day 511: War Of The Worlds

This title is more than appropriate for today's blog entry. Tonight I had plans to go and see this movie with Michael, Addie, and Katie, and it was mere minutes before the movie started that Michael received a text from Eric informing him of some sort of disaster in London. He then started to get other texts from other friends and it was then we found out about the bombing in the British capital. Who needs to see a movie when our world is already at war with itself? It was rather surreal, wondering what was going on in England while watching a movie about the Earth being attacked.

Despite the somber mood, we all REALLY enjoyed the movie. It's a spectacular film and one of the best that I've seen in a long, long time! Besides having incredible special effects, the movie keeps you in tense suspense for the entire duration of the film. You're literally on the edge of your seat the whole time and are never given a chance to breathe or relax or feel safe. It's a great movie and to watch it is an intense experience, and when it was over well felt rather shell-shocked actually. Trust me, if you haven't seen this movie already you really do need to!!

After the movie we moved my couch, chair, automan, and book shelf into Addie's apartment. She's buying them off of me and when all of that furniture was removed my place looked so empty and lonely. *sigh* The dismantling continues...
