Friggin Lisbeth

OMG...Just read that Emma Watson is in the running for Lisbeth. That's the lead for The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. That means she is going to be co-starring with Daniel Craig. This will be huge! The rumor states she chopped off her hair for the audition. Smart move, if there's truth in that! I think she could surprise everyone and pull it off.
I am currently reading the book, only after I saw the movie. It's true what they say, it's hard to put down. The Swedish version of this movie was very graphic and intense. I can only imagine what a bigger budget will do for this novel. Excitedly waiting.

Others in the running:
Natalie Portman-Turned down the role (Thank goodness-I like her but..NO!)
Carey Mulligan (Not a bad choice)
Scarlet Johansen (Never, not right!!)
Kristen Stewart (The director has worked with her previously-David (brother) said it might be a good choice...Hmmmmm)

Beach Time

I went to Surfside this weekend, east of Galveston. It was scorching hot. The water felt great to get the sun off my back. The water was extra clear this week end.
But if you look closely, I was able to find some "BP" oil on the sand. It was disappointing. Then I kinda freaked out, thinking the oil was on me and I didn't even know it. Ughhhhhh

Almost time for Dexter

One of my favorite show is starting up in September. The real life Dexter, Michael C. Hall is recovering from cancer and is thrilled to be back for season 5. One of the characters, Vince, (Asian dorky-funny blood splatter side kick) hopes that he doesn't discover Dexter's true Serial Killer background. Why?
C.S. Lee (Vince) doesn't want to be Dexter's victim, which means, he is out of a job.

I hope Vince does not get killed off the show. He makes everyone laugh with his quirky-perverted self.

(Pictured is Michael C. Hall and his wife Jennifer Carpenter) Jennifer is also in Dexter, she plays Dexter's sister. Weird huh?

Before and After

I love my new light fixture. I got it professionally
installed and once the switch was on, I fell in
love all over again.
It glows so daintily against the walls.
The picture does not capture it's
magical effect it has on me when I look at it.

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I took some pictures of the lights on and off.
Also, my walls look bare, since, the painting I had did not
go with the new lights. I need to hang my mirror but need the right nails/anchor.
Yes, I ducked from the picture as I the mirror.
This room is quickly becoming my favorite room, even though the moldings are not
up yet. It feels fresh and lively.

Lisa sent me a picture of a sister "do-nut" light fixture she
came across yesterday. It was originally retailed for $1300.00.
Wow-zers!
I got mine for a huge bargain, which makes me love it even more.
