Bleh... That about sums it up ladies and 'gents. Bleh. Watch out, it's a four-letter word. You know what people say about four-letter words. Someday my father will realize that, as realtives, we are people and not amenities. [What do you say on the phone to the man who's walked out of your life - ruining others in the process - when he asks if he can come get on the internet?] Coincidentally, I found a solution to that. A flyer for a local Internet Cafe - have fun. Mom, Aunt Genie, Laura, and I had a fabulous time at the Potter Party as we waited to get the new book at midnight. (Yes, I realize I am that uncool.) It was a great read - if rather unsurprising - no spoilers here though folks. [On a side note: I really wanted to glomp the girl dressed up as the Golden Snitch and scream "GRYFFINDOR WINS!" at the tops of my lungs. People tend to frown on grown women assaulting small children, however, so I restrained myself.] This weekend I think I'll splurge and take Mom to see CATS at the local music theatre - it's been getting rave reviews. Plus, I owe her for buying me copious amounts of sushi last week. Nothing says "I love you" like raw fish. Time to make some coffee, I think I'm losing my edge.
