What I'm Listening To: Replay-IYAZ
Just wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving (now you can officially start playing Christmas music). It's definitely good to be home. I'm really longing for caramel cake, it's one of my favorite holiday desserts, but the food at my house was amazing. Now we're just sitting around watching classic movies and waiting for the Black Friday madness to start.
I took my kinkies out, and now have an afro. No one will see it because thankfully, I'm going to get it done tomorrow. I put a hat on it before going to the mall with the best friend to see New Moon (again). Then my mom and my brother said that I looked Jamaican. I guess paying homage to our family heritage doesn't hurt too much.
On my list of what I'm thankful for: God, friends, family, the talents I have to give to this world, an awesome Spanish professor, the ability to travel, my drive to achieve, my savvy ebay ability, the ability to smile through this year, knowledge and wisdom gained.
What are you thankful for?

Saw New Moon! & Rachelle's not in Eclipse....
What I'm Listening To: I'm not who I was-Brandon Heath
So I saw New Moon today, and I have to say that it was 10 times better than Twilight (I think it was totally the director switch). Even though some parts at the beginning were a little too overly cheesy, and the script was horrible in some parts, or maybe it might have been the actors' ability to portray the emotion needed. I'm not a diehard Kristen or Rob fan (Kristen more than Rob, I honestly think that her best work is Speak), but Taylor Lautner was simply amazing with his acting, no complaints there. Plus, some people at my job were totally creeping/almost pedophile in our assessment of all the hard work he put into keeping his role (when Taylor hits the gym, he HITS the gym). And we are all pleased, and belatedly remembered that he is now Taylor Swift's boyfriend. I guess it's a rumor now, but People Magazine confirmed it, and then took it off. Although that didn't stop us from coming up with nicknames for the two of them. TayTay Swizz, T squared, T Swizzle, and my personal favorite, T Swiftner. I want to see how they both act in their upcoming movie Valentine's Day. And I'm sure if they were going out, they would have plenty of adoring fans gunning for the union.
Also, while I was browsing though all the Twilight/New Moon information, I found that Summit issued a statement saying that Rachelle Lefevre was going to be replaced in Eclipse by Bryce Dallas Howard. I knew this about a week ago because I follow her on Twitter. She seemed shocked by the decision, so I don't know if I buy the whole scheduling conflict story because I read that Jason Rathbone (sp?) who plays Jasper was working on something and they worked with him. I haven't seen any of the other actress' work, but Rachelle was dynamite as Victoria and had a huge relationship with her fans. I'm not going to judge the other actress or down her, in order to give a fair assessment, but I will say she has a lot to live up to if she's going to take Rachelle's place as Victoria. Anyway, if you're unhappy with the decision, there is a petition going around on the web to get Rachelle back in Eclipse.
Overall, I'd give the movie a 4.5/5 and can say that I'm going to see it two more times 1 with the little sis and another with the best friend. Twilight fans, you DEFINITELY won't be disappointed ;)
