Rediscovering An Old Classic

Last night after our Die Hard marathon, Dail and I watched the prequel movie to the Twin Peaks series. I am nit completely hooked. I only saw a few episodes when the series was running as I was a busy mom then and didn't have time for television. Now, I am dying to see all the episodes so I am going to order the whole series on DVD with my allowance next week. I have already downloaded the Secret Diary of Laura Palmer onto my Kindle. I'm a little less than half way though it. I stayed up late to read last night. It was so engrossing that I just couldn't put it down.  It is such a surreal story and there is so much symbolism that it keeps me interested in trying to figure out what is actually going on. I can't wait to get the series next week. Dail is as interested as me. He saw more of the series when it was on back in the 90s so he is more up to speed on it. He think it will be a great way to get through the cold evenings when we can't go out. The prequel is very freaky and I am anxious to see more of the investigation. I love murder mysteries, though technically it isn't a mystery anymore and I know who the killer is. I do want to know more about BOB though. Spooky dude.

I forgot to blog about it yesterday but my Kindle cover arrived. Now I don't have to worry about anything happening to the screen if I carry it in my purse. It is a leather cover in wine and it has a light. It was fairly expensive and took all my allowance but it is very nice and worth more that the alternatives I saw. It is nice, neat, and compact. Just what I was looking for.

So far today I'm doing okay. I'm down 2 pounds since yesterday. Probably water weight but at least that is a start.. I'm back to square one. Hopefully, I can keep going down and logging my food and have a better week this week.  I think I might have better news next Saturday. I hope so anyway.

Enough for now.

  1. Hubby and I were totally addicted to the show when it first came out. We watched the first season religiously, and kept up well the next. I loved teh setting and quirky characters and overall WEIRDNESS. I still have the cd somewhere that I bought with the gal singing one of the main songs. I forget her name. hahahah.

  2. Princess, I can understand that. It is a weird show and there is so much symbolism that is open to interpretation. I can't wait to get the series so I can see the whole thing in order. It is very surreal and frightening but there are also some tragic events that are how sexual abuse sometimes plays out.

  3. I've never seen it or even heard of it but you know me and TV, not to much of it. Sounds interesting though. Glad you and Dail just got to relax and enjoy.
    Keep that scale moving down, you can do it Karen, I know you can...I have faith in you!!
    Thanks for all your words of support this past week. I have really needed them. THANK YOU!!!

  4. Julie, I had never heard of it until a friend loaned me her copy of The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer. I have been fascinated ever since but it might be a morbid fascination as it is a crime story and involved graphic and explicit scenes and language. Laura Palmer was molested and murdered by her own father, who was possessed by the demon BOB at the time. It might be something that you wouldn't care for. I love a good mystery and looking for hidden clues and things like that.

  5. I loved them all! We'd drink coffee and eat jelly filled donuts covered with powdered sugar during each episode ;)

  6. LOL, Cindy. I would love to do that as well but the donuts would wreck my diet. I wish I was a coffee drinker but I never developed a taste for it. Maybe some hot tea? :)
