one more quick thing…..

oh yeah…..

we did manage to sneak out during the weekend and see harry potter.

LOVED IT!!!!!!!!

all that escapism was glorious on the screen. i am sad they left the house elves out and couldn’t do any of the side stories in the books, but the bottom line comes from the A&E "making of the goblet of fire" thing i saw….

the director says "the book had over 700 pages to tell it’s story. i get 120 with a script and a couple of hours to do the same" there’s that, then.

it was still awesome. loved the water task scenes.

sat in the front row and didn’t care. just meant that no one else could see how stupidly happy and little-kid like i was to be there, watching it, and cheering and being happy and joyous and kid-like. life is still good in so very many ways….

i still have a lot to be thankful for this year.

a whole lot.

peace.
