Brian and I went to the first showing of the latest Harry Potter movie and we really enjoyed it. It was definitely a darker movie with less *fun* magic and more defensive magic… Brian said he liked this movie the best compared to the previous movies. It was definitely shorter and more condensed but also more to the point about Voldemort’s return. The end of the movie was a big “duh” as Cornelius Fudge essentially realizes Voldemort is back - you know, when he is standing right in front of his face.

We finally got out of the apartment today! We decided to go see the movie, March of the Penguins, a French released documentary on the mating rituals of the Emperor Penguins of Antarctica. It was quite interesting and fascinating. Now, Brian wishes to visit the Antarctic and climb the highest mountain with some sort of adventure guide. I suggested that one of the Emperor Penguins might be a cheaper guide. He has not yet agreed to this…

It was 96F yesterday and it is supposed to be 97F today. This is the same place that was -4F just five months ago. Living in a place where the temperature varies 100 degrees is just not comfortable. I am definitely looking forward to living in Hawaii where the daytime temperature varies between 79-81 on a daily basis year round.
We spent yesterday going to the post office, movie theater, and Target. We saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was OK. I really liked the gothic feel in the beginning of the movie. I liked that the movie started off like the book, it was dark and mysterious which is more like Dahl’s writing. Other than that, the movie was a bit off and just weird in ways that just did not work.
In other news, when we left to go to California, we got rid of the Cadillac. This is the first time that I have been carless and I love it. I do not think that I will miss having a car at all. I am glad to get rid of it! Of course, when we move to the Big Island we will have to get a 4×4 but we will actually need a car then. We have been taking the bus or walking everywhere and I like it a lot. We live close to everything since we live on the main street in the city. I think Columbus is more tolerable by bus than by car…
We bought a memory card for our digital camera while we were in California but now that memory card has started doing weird things. It randomly held on to a picture of Brian that I took at his parents house and just spit out the picture two days ago. It also is holding a lot less than it should. Of course, it is past the 30 day return time and Office Max wants the original packaging anyway. Oh well. We bought a newer and bigger memory card for the camera yesterday… Now, our camera is on steriods and the husband could not be happier.

After a brief excursion to the pool yesterday we decided to go to the movies. We saw Madagascar and enjoyed it. The behavior of the parents and kids in the theater left much to be desired for but we were able to see the movie nonetheless. Sidenote: It is somewhat horrific and humorous that the movie theaters keep advertising that the nachos “now contain real cheese.” I am not sure what they contained previously but I am sure that they are probably every bit as inedible as they were previously. Do people really eat this stuff? And why would people put butter-like goo on their popcorn? It is not even butter, it is butter-like goo! I digress.
After the movie, we ate at the California Pizza Kitchen where we had an enjoyable meal complete with screaming families. I simply do not understand why CA Pizza Kitchen always has screaming babies and toddlers in it. Why do people bring their kids to such an adult restaurant? It does not have a playground or pizza that would interest a little kid. Furthermore, most of the kids we have seen there are under two. Yesterday, we had the misfortune of sitting next to two families with two little babies who were not terribly loud and their bouncing toddler who enjoyed taking his shoes off and doing gymnastics on the booth seat (which was long and I had the misfortune of sharing it with him). Then the people that sat behind Brian were screaming at their kids. Then, a baby started crying out a few tables away. The mother, in all her maternal brilliance, hit the baby on the head with a menu. I am sure that child will be a productive member of the prison system by the time it is 18…

I just watched “Ghost World” and it was very good, it was actually an anti-Hollywood movie, which is good
