Things I am excited about!

There are SO many movies in the theatre I want to go see! Burlesque, The Tourist, Tron, True Grit, How do you Know, Love and Other Drugs.... the list could even go on from there. But somehow I came across the preview for Water for Elephants, and I CANNOT wait. The book was so good, and different. It had everything you would want in a book- adventure, circus animals, a love story, midgets :o) And I remember reading something at the end of the book, the author did quite a bit of research and the elephant is based off a real elephant from a real circus (waaaay back in the day). If you ever watch the movie you'll know what I mean ;o)

And Robert Pattinson really looks talented in the previews. Taking on such a different role from the Eclipse movies, I'm excited to see him branch out and show other types of talent. And who doesn't love Reese Whitherspoon?

Another thing I am, and I admit I am ENTIRELY TOO excited about this- Oprah's New Network OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network)!!

I am obsessed. How?

Well, let me count the ways. Since her latest magazine, which published a preview of many of the upcoming shows that will be airing, I have read about them ALL. I have also read about her shows online. I have watched her exclusive interview with Barbra Walters about it (FYI Oprah doesn't do very many interviews- now she has of course interviewed countless- but given is a much shorter list. And of course only Barbra Walters could have done this one...) I have checked my channels to make sure I get Discovery Health (what OWN will be replacing). I have joined the OWN facebook group and get excited every time they post something new. I have become an OWN insider, so I can view the upcoming previews of shows. I can't decide which show I am more excited about. Really let me tell you about some of them (I would post the previews but can't pull the embedded videos off the OWN site... and I doubt they are on youtube.)

Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind
OWNS turns the mystery of creativity into inspiration. Join some of the world's most creative thinkers such as Lady Gaga, Will.i.am (who wrote OWN's them-song- really I told you I'm obsessed), James Cameron and Annie Lebowitz as they take you into their own creative process.

Our America with Lisa Ling
From religious movements to sex offenders to drug addiction and online brides, Lisa Ling takes viewers along for an in-depth look at some of the most controversial and thought-provoking issues in the United States today.

Oprah's Next Chapter
Join Oprah as she embarks on her greatest adventure yet: her next chapter. Featuring in-depth interviews and once-in-a-lifetime experiences that lead you from the ends of the earth to Oprah's own backyard.

--I don't think this preview really says what the show is about, Oprah will be traveling all over the world and turning those experiences into a TV show! She will even be giving some interviews in these places. What I really like about it was why she wanted to do it, she said that when she and her best friend Gale to Yosemite, she said her viewers felt like they got to go too, so she wanted to get to do that again. To travel and share it with her viewers. :o)

Oprah presents Master Class

Oh I could just go on and on... I won't bore you any longer.






I have started re-watching her 25 years DVDs, because obviously I just can't wait till Jan 1st for OWN to air.
