Shadowhunters & Wedding
I don’t know if anyone here has read the series, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare… but I’ve really enjoyed the series and was pretty excited when they announced the film adaption … then was mad when it sorta/kinda sucked.
BUT … (and I can’t believe I didn’t hear about this until like three days ago!)… ABC has a series based on the novels called SHADOWHUNTERS and OMG … I might be in love. I started it late last night so I only watched three episodes of the first season (they’re all available online http://freeform.go.com/shows/shadowhunters).
I have to admit, the girl that plays Clary is a tad bit annoying (and I’m trying to remember if Clary was that annoying in the first few novels-she might have been).. but everyone else is pretty on par to how I imagined the books in my head (which is quite difficult -shows/movies tend to not ever match what I picture in my head). So I am pretty excited to continue watching and just hope that Clary tones down a little bit as the show progresses.
It was kind of like True Blood. I absolutely HATED the main character (Sookie)… and I know the character in the books was annoying as all hell but even the actress, I just didn’t like her. So after the second season I just gave up on it because she was so bad I couldn’t keep up with it lol… even with the pretty good supporting cast. So hoping that doesn’t happen here because I really enjoyed the book sand so far, this series has been true to the first one.
I had to text Trisha at like 11PM last night that she HAD to check out the show, because we both read the series together and loved it and then were bummed when the movie was kind of ‘meh’. HAHA. Sorry for the fan-girling. :P
In other news … it is HOT today (hot for winter). I think it’s supposed to hit about 50°F/10°C and stay around that for the rest of the week (and then we’re supposedly getting snow this weekend-welcome to New England). So everyone is all hyper/excited today … it’s amazing what warm rays can do for people’s dispositions…. Ha-ha.
AND! My brother/Trisha’s wedding invitations are IN THE MAIL. I can’t believe how quickly this has arrived and that they will be married in just under 4 months… crazy. Granted, they already feel like an old married couple, but that is beside the point.
While I am so very happy for my brother and best friend … I know their wedding day is going to be a very difficult my family. Without my dad there and not even being a year since he’s been gone … emotions are going to be running raw and rampant …and while I am looking forward to the day, I am also dreading it with a fiery passion.
I want to be happy for them (and my dad loved her and loved them together so he wants us all to be happy for them), but this HUGE moment in all of our lives and he’s NOT there to share in it? Just even briefly thinking about it has me all emotional right now (and I am trying hard not to think about it too much just yet).
I’m very good at pretending/ignoring and I know it’s not healthy because then when it blows it blows BIG and hard and feels like it hurts so much more, but that’s just the only way I know how to cope with the overwhelming emotions that hit me when I think about my dad and miss him like crazy.
Sigh. I’m going to stop here before it gets overly depressing. <3e
