Is there a little Wild in all of us?

My Brothers are cool, they just are, I can't explain why. I am lucky to be related so I can be cool by association. We have a lot of common likes so we send links to each other when something catches our eye. 

This morning I received  this link from David. Now we are BIG fans of the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak  . As a kid I would pour over the pages, reading and re-reading the adventures of Max. Drawn in by the illustrations that made me want to visit that far off place, so when the movie was announced I was a bit skeptical. Can they really capture the fantastical nature of the book? It wasn't even going to be animated. However this looks promising, plus with Arcade Fire supplying the music for the trailer it is a bonus.

Go here and take a gander.... 

Will I see it...just maybe.

Story Corps

One of my favorite things is to listen to Story Corps on Friday mornings. It is such a brilliant concept. I love anything that involves recording history. I also get it as a podcast so if I miss any I can listen to them later.

This one story made me crack up the other day at work. When I become a 90 year old woman, I want to have great stories to tell. It is best to listen to her tell it.

I also highly recommend picking up a copy of Listening is an Act of Love from your local library, bookstore or borrow my copy. It is a great read!

This is something I would love to do with my Family one day.

Just Read...

Last night I finally got around to reading "Book of a Thousand Days" by Shannon Hale. I have to admit this is my first Hale book. 

I started right after work and finished just before 11. Obviously I didn't want to put it down. I loved the main character Dashti, she had a virtue that I was immediately drawn to. I am curious as to what my niece Ali thought or even if she has read this one yet ( I am sure she has, she is a bookworm just like me).

I look forward to reading Hale's other works. Her website is also great, check it out www.squeetus.com
