thanksgiving, turkey, and twilight...

thanksgiving was never a really huge holiday for me. i guess it's because i don't have a big family to share it with since for the most part it's just my mom and me. though when i was younger i think we did have a lot more family get-togethers. then as i grew older, things changed and everyone had there own thing going on. but that's life.

for this thanksgiving my mom and i ended up ordering a thanksgiving meal from one of the local supermarkets. it was probably the first time we actually had the traditional thanksgiving food on thanksgivng like stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, and even turkey. yeah, my mom has never made turkey on thanksgiving before because like i said, it's only two of us so there's really no need. if anything we only ate turkey on thanksgiving if we were spending it with other people.

anway, after lots of eating we went out to watch twilight again. yes, i made my mom watch it again. thankfully (haha) she didn't seem to mind. i guess since it was at night (and probably since it was one of the few places open that day) there were so many more people than the first time we watched it. it got pretty full. my mom even noted that most of the people there were female. though there were the handful of males there. but they were either fathers with their family or boyfriends who had been dragged along by their girlfriends.

when we first got there we were like half an hour early so we went to watched like 20mins of the new bond movie. i've never been into the bond movies before (though my mom's favorite bond is sean connery, the official original bond). with that being said and only watching like only 20mins of this movie let me just say, wow daniel craig was looking pretty good up there.

as time came closer, my mom and i made it into the right theater, which was right next to the restrooms so i got to stare at zack's spock poster again (he's such a dead-on spock, looks wise, so good). they play the same trailers as before so i got to watch the harry potter trailer again, still no neville though. and of course they showed that trailer for the scary movie, still a bad call since this time i was well aware of the children in the theater this time.

one thing i enjoy about watching movies in the theater is seeing how the audience reacts, it's the people watching lover in me. and it was especially interesting since it was the same movie with a new audience. three notable reactions this time that was different from last was: 1 - when edward first appeared and a guy (who was probably one of the dudes dragged to the movie) said pretty loudly, "i don't get why all the girls love him?" to which his girlfriend(?) quickly hushed him. jealous, maybe? haha. 2 - when edward's in bella's room and tells her he, "watches her sleep. it's..." to which same dude finishes the line, "creepy." and everyone starts laughing. though i didn't only because i said that exact same thing the first time i watched that scene...but i said it at a whispered tone. come up it's like a perfect set-up, i bet at least one person at every showing said/thinks that. and 3 - when kissing scene got a huge cheer from the audience this time around.

i have to say, i enjoyed the movie the second time more since i sort of knew what to expect. and like everytime you rewatch a movie, you tend to notice something new that you never saw before. for me one of the things i noticed was how victoria was in the prom scene when bella and edward first enter the room. i'm sure she's not meant to be hidden since there is pretty much a focus shoot of her, though it is of only her back. but i guess i was just so into bella and edward at prom that i totally missed seeing her the first time around.

well, that's how i spent my thankgiving. and i must admit there is a lot to be thankful for even if i might not always think it.

tomorrow's black friday. i hope i don't have to get up too early.

till later.
