les miserables

i spent 2.5 hours on friday evening watching
the latest movie version of les miserables with my dear girlfriend.
it's been years since i watched the old movie version and i 
i was excited....almost giddy as i was driving to the theater after work.



























les mis is such a beautiful and timeless story.
i picked up the 5" book by victor hugo at target
a few days before i saw the movie and it said
it had been translated into 21 languages - wow!
{no i haven't read but hope to someday...}

if you know the story, that's probably no surprise.
it's packed full of themes everyone can relate to -
crime and punishment, truth and survival,
love and forgiveness, and so much more.

if you haven't see the movie but will be going,
don't forget to bring tissues to the theater!
{i brought an entire box in my over-sized purse}

after the movie, aleyda had dinner and sat for another 
2.5 hours talking about the movie, music, religion, our families...
basically all the good stuff that makes life worth living. 
it was a perfect girl's night out. {thx ms. h}

~ almost forgot. i also saw life of pi with c last night and it was great too.
we were both happily surprised that it followed the book so well. 
i thoroughly enjoyed it but of the two movies i saw this past weekend, 
only one will become a permanent collection in my dvd library.
i'll give you a hint: it has music in in. *wink*
