WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Maurice Sendak is truly a great book. Its one of the few books I remember from childhood, along with Shel Silverstein. It made such an impression, I would have to say it help set the stage for my monster fascination. The memories of ordering the choose your own adventure paperbacks from the book club come flooding back in to my head. Those years were so long ago but seem like yesterday.
To my amazement, I found out recently that the imaginary land Max creates and all the monsters within are becoming a movie adaptation. I just got through watching the trailer and I have to say, i’m pretty excited. It’s a chance to relive the childhood memories but in a new adventurous way. With the pending arrival of my new son, i’m feeling mushy these days and cant wait to share with him fun stories and books like this one. The movie premieres on October 16th so be on the look out.
Speaking of Noah, Shelley is off to the doctor again today and there will be an ultrasound. I’m very anxious to see the picture. I do admit the last one was a little creepy but hopefully this one will seem more human-ish. Man, it’s getting so close now to delivery day that I’m starting to freak out. We are nesting already and getting his room all prepared. We decided on a space theme. Even found Atari Space Invader wall clings, RAWK! Kid is going to have a cool ass room for sure. Hey guys, anyone wanna help paint?
