Packer Tickets and Forrest Gump

Ok, so I don't know about anyone else, but cheap Packer tickets are really hard to come by. At least, I can't seem to find any for less than 80-90$....is there anyone else who has any idea how to get tickets? I'm wanting to go to a game at Lambeau during December. If anyone knows anywhere that has cheap tickets, please let me know ASAP!!

On another note, I just finished the novel version of "Forrest Gump". I must say that it was much, much different from the movie (which, by the way, is one of my favorites). For anyone who doesn't want to spoil the book, skip this....

First, in the book, I was much less sympathetic to the character of Forrest. He didn't seem like this lovable guy who was just a little out of it. The book made Forrest out to be more of an brash, clueless idiot. He swore, first off, which didn't happen in the movie. Secondly, the problems between Forrest and Jenny were made out to be much more in Forrest's fault and I was much more sympathetic towards Jenny in the book than in the movie.

Secondly, Forrest does many many more things in the book. He still plays football and ping pong and goes to Vietnam, but he also becomes an astronaut, gets lost in the jungle for a couple years, becomes a Pro-Wrestler, and plays harmonica for a band, along with becoming close companions with a male orangutan named Sue. (Which reminded me a little bit of the Jonny Cash song, "Boy Named Sue".
The ending is also almost a 180 from the movie.....but I won't give that away.

Now with all of these differences, I can't really say whether I liked the movie or book better. It is hard to compare the two with the variations. I still love the movie, and the book wasn't bad either. There were portions of the book that were witty, comical, and sad, much like the movie. For anyone interested, however, in taking in more of Forrest Gump than what was in the movie (a sequal if you will),
I recommend reading it.

I guess that's all for tonight.
