New Moon Trailer Story...

Here's the story I promised earlier!

There are two pieces of background info you need:

1. So, last night the hubs and I went to see Harry Potter HBP, and we went to the same theater where I had gone earlier in the week for the midnight premiere. From my venting earlier in the week, you know that they didn't play the NM trailer before the premiere, so I wasn't expecting to get to see it last night either.

2. The hubs has started listening to NM on audiobook when we go on longish drives in the car, and we're about half-way through listening to the story at this point.

Ok...so the previews start last night, and we're about three in when I hear a familar sound. I literally think that by the time the coastline shot (you know the one I'm talking about *wink*) comes on the screen...I'm in shock. I had been waiting to see the trailer for so long and I was always on the edge of my seat holding my breath...and the one time that I'm sure we won't see it - we do. So...it takes me a few seconds to convince myself that yes...I'm really seeing this on the big screen and stop freaking out enough to start enjoying it.

But me finally getting to see the trailer isn't the cute part. So...we're watching and we come to the meadow scene...Bella runs...and Jake comes running and phases. So...just as it goes to the logo shot at the end...the hubs leans over and says "But that's not how it happened in the book..."

Now...I know it's not that big of a deal really...but I was just so excited that he was actually listening and paying attention to the audiobook enough to know the plotline that well that I practically spilled my popcorn turning to him to let him know that he was right and the trailer was putting together two different scenes there. By this point...I'm positively beaming!!

I still have a huge grin on my face and I'm proud to say that I think I have taken the first step to converting my hubs to Twilight!! Yipee!!

Funny Story:

So a few weeks ago my friends and I went to buy our tickets for the midnight Harry Potter premiere next week. We were so proud of ourselves for thinking so far in advance. But none of us took the time to read our tickets. All six of us just assumed that since most movies open on Friday, this one would too. And so for a week, we've all been talking about how hard it was gonna be to drag ourselves to work the next morning, and one of my friends even took off work next Friday.

And then today, it dawned on us that the 15th isn't next Friday...it's next Wednesday.

So...there's good news and bad news.

The good news is that I'm getting to see HP two days earlier than I thought!

The bad news for my friend is that it's too late for her to change her day off next week. And the bad news for me is that I STILL haven't started my re-read of HBP...and it's really starting to look like I'm not gonna make it.

Oh well...at least next time I'll look at a calendar! LOL!!
