Alexis- Chilling basically. Just posting here and listening to music.
Out of curiosity, what do you think is the worst part of unpacking?

fun stuff. I am now doing the same thing hmm.. trying to get everything back to where it was. Especially clothes.. I find putting my clothes back the most frustrating part since I like to fold them and hang them and what not

What are you listening to?
Yeah, sounds like a total drag. Packing can be really time consuming.

Many of the songs from the musical of Love Never Dies mostly. But actually there is this one video on Youtube I've always adored and am lisrening to right now. It's one person's top ten picks for their favorite Intrumental scores from Disney. You should check it out. It's epic! The person's name is princessclairey.
Well in that case. Get all the hard out of the way so you have time to play. Haha! I think I got that from Dr.Seuss.

oo, I will have to check that person's list out, that sounds like that could be good! haha well I don't have much left. I am playing now on here and I am so close to finishing reading Howl's Moving Castle.. I want to do that tonight or by tomorrow.

You'll have to let me know what you thought of it. I agreed the many of their choices. Sure I would have done it dfferently but that's why they call it "their" Top Ten List. I enjoyed Howl's Moving Castle the film. But it's not one my favorites. Is the film pretty close to the book?

I will definitely let you know what I think when I check it out. Yeah, I don't think anyone agrees 100% on things like that, but some times people remind you of something you never thought of.
I wasn't overly excited about it when I first saw it, but I has grown on me. I still have 3 chapters left of the book. But the book is surprisingly different then the movie. I don't know which I like better. On one hand you get more detail in the book (as expected) but *so far* I like the Howl in the movie better the the one in the book. But that might change very soon. The basics of the book and movie are the same, but there is a lot of differences. It is really interesting. I like how the book is written. haha, though I think it is intended for middle schoolers.

I look forward to hearing your opinion.
You know I thought it would grow on me after a few views. Yet it never really has. I actually went through a phase where all I did was want to watch Studio Ghibi films. But Howl's Moving Castle has never made my "Favorite List".
As far as I'm concerned, there's very few times where I thought the film was better then the novel. In fact I can't even think of one off the top my head. Although there are films where I really appriciate the adaptation. I also have a current love for the film How to Train Your Dragon by Dreamworks. (And it's Instrumental Score) But that's based on children's series so it's a little different.

Alexis- Sorry if I get distracted away from our conversation. I just found videos on Youtube from the Carrie Underwood concert I went to. I'm sort of reliving those memories.

I just watched it. I agree with most of it, especially the last 3. But I don't agree with Main Titles from TLM. She picked out the most epic part of the song, but it was still more dreamy then epic. I can't think of a lot of times that I liked an adaptation just as much or better then the book, but one that I can think of is Wicked. Ohh!! I just saw that movie recently and I loved it so much! It was really really good. I should read the book. that's perfectly ok. btw.. I replied to your PM as well.

Well I guess I always used the term epic for music when it has the ability to send tingles up my spine. Many of those orchestrations did. Of course for me The Lion King would be at the top of my list. But I also really love The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Rescuers Down Under (very underrated in my opinion) Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas. As for The Little Mermaid. I guess that's just her favorite part of the track. Do you mean How to train Your Dragon or Wicked? Sorry, but i'm just not sure.

ah see when I think of epic I think of big crescendos and dramatic moments. I agree with the Rescuers Down Under, I have always loved that movie, but not many people seem to notice it at all.
I met How to Train your Dragon. Sorry for being unclear

To each to their own of course. Me too! My best friend and I talk about how The Rescuers Down Under never recieved the reciginition it deserved. Especially the music by Bruce Broughton. He just creates this instant image of the Australian outback. Animation was gorgeous too. I had an inkling. I really loved it to! Now I think Toy Story 3 was better, but I think this film nearly gave it a run for it's money. I must confess I cried at certain parts. I relate to Hiccup very much. Plus Toothless is adorable. What was your favorite part?
