I’m a crier

This weekend at the wedding Ian and I shot, I got teary-eyed a few times.  During “Amazing Grace” at the ceremony.  During toasts.  I almost always get teary-eyed at toasts.  What can I say – I guess I’m a crier.  I also get teary-eyed during really good books.  The books that make you feel real emotions – good or bad – are the kind of books that stay with you long after they’ve been read.  I mention this because I saw the ad for the movie version of Time Traveler’s Wife yesterday.  The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger was a delightful book.  I acutally picked it up in the airport on my way home from France a few years ago, and I loved it.  The story is about a man with a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel, and his wife who must deal with his absences.  The end of the book, well, it made me cry.  So now that there’s a movie, I’m curious if it will be any good.  It does star Rachel McAdams, who I like, but it’s still an adaptation.  And the movie version is almost never as good as the real thing.  But if I do see it, it will probably still make me cry.  Maybe the trailer did too.  You’ll never know.
