Movie Night


We went to The Great Gatsby last night, my just turned 18 year old daughter won't go with us, she is like an "old lady" in the family, she listens to songs of the 40s, watch movies of the 20s, she watched and read so much that she scored an A+ on her essay on film history from the 20s-50s, her reason for not going to 'this' Gatsby movie was everything in the movie is too modern, well, true enough, I love the movie but agree with her that I can't stand the "almost like rap" music in the movie.

A dear friend bought me the book years ago, and he sent the book overnight via FedEx express with the golden Aspen leaves fresh from the tree, unfortunately, he passed away in 2007, *sigh...... now I am so going to read the book once again
