cloudy with a chance of being turned into a movie, and the end of vacation

I feel as though I am still avoiding writing about my time at home in MI, and my time spent here at the Farm over the past few days because I think: 1. I am still processing my time in Michigan, and the long and arduous drive to get there and back, and 2. I think that if I write about my vacation this past week and a half that means that it is truly over...which it is...sadly. Tomorrow I go back to work. And, though I love work, I really love vacation. I have felt like a tumbleweed this past week; blown around and tossed into odd projects; blown into chance meetings and run-ins with friends, fellow co-workers, and not so chance ones too.

So, in the spirit of avoiding the inevidable I will write instead about how it seems like every book is being turned into a movie these days! Here are just a few examples of
books gone Hollywood:

• Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, based on the book (of the same name) by J.K. Rowling
• Taking Woodstock, based on the book (of the same name) by Elliot Tiber
• Julie and Julia based on the book JULIE & JULIA: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen by Julie Powell
• The Time Traveler's Wife, based on the book (of the same name) by Audrey Niffenegger
• Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, based on the book (of the same name) be Judi Barrett
• Where the Wild Things Are, based on the book (of the same name) by Maurice Sendak
• The Road, based on the book (of the same name) by Cormac McCarthy
• Youth in Revolt, based on the book (of the same name) by CD Payne
• Fantastic Mr. Fox, based on the book (of the same name) by Roald Dahl
