Late, but here! Heh.
Our Turkey Day was better than usual, since instead of running all over to other people's houses - all Cat's family - we did lunch at grandparents-in-laws *cousin Jeff cooked, myself and sis-in-law cleaned up*. The cousins played and got along.
Then we all headed back here to our house - after sis-in-law and i went shopping - and had much snacks. Crudites, cheese, summer sausage, chips, dip, fruit... All good. My sis-in-law brought a huge stack of games so we played Trivial Persuit *pop culture* and a Harry Potter game called 'Scene It'. Both had DVDS as part of the game, which was all new and shiny to me. Monstrous and i, as a team, won both games! Whoo hoo!! I am so trivial. :)
Yesterday *Sunday*, Monstrous and i went to see Harry Potter. We were supposed to go with sis-in-law and the cousins, but she never called/showed, so i'm sure there's some sort of drama going on. Movie babble behind the cut.
First and foremost, they are *growing up*. OMG. Harry in the tub? Sheeeeeeeeesh. Shirly Henderson must have had fun. *Moaning Myrtle. And yeah, prolly she wasn't even there*. But OMG.
And - the boys. *Touched*. All the time. Harry grabbing Cedric, Ron grabbing Harry, random boys grabbing and petting Cedric and Viktor and even Harry a couple times.... Jayzus! Giant touch-fest and wasn't it just...*fun*.
I thought Madam Maxine would be a bit prettier. I was disappointed. I wanted more *Snape*. I wanted the World Cup game, at least a little! I wanted Veelas so that the boys all mooning after Fleur would make more sense since she was pretty but not arresting. I *really* wanted more Draco, damnit, and why couldn't the little ferret have run over to Harry and cuddled up to his ankle and been picked up and petted and soothed and...
*ahem*
Okay. And was it just me, or did Dumbledore seem to be just way to - frantic? Wow. And Hermione a bit shrill pretty much all the time.
Don't get me wrong - i loved it! I really did. The dragons, the ball, the hedge-maze, the gilly-weed and the transformation into the Man from Atlantis, complete with flippers! *Hi,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sueworld2003!!* I loved the tub scene and the 'i was mental' apology when Ron thought Harry had thrown him over and they weren't dating - err, friends anymore. Heee! All good stuff. And almost no goofy rubber-face expressions from Ron! Very nice.
And the twins! OMG! So cute with their long hair and their total confidence in absolutely everything and...and...hair...twins... *Goes for a lie-down* Basically - a fun as hell movie that Monstrous enjoyed, wasn't scared of, and sat through very, very well. She cried at the end a little and said she liked it. The crummy theatre seats made my back and knees ache. We bought our candy at the gas station 'cause omg movie candy prices. Jayzus. Wheeeeee!! Harry Potter!!
Let's see - that's all, i suppose. Lovely day today - cool and wet and windy. The morning was very nice with the whole sky veiled in slate-blue clouds except for a strip along the eastern horizon where the sun was coming up, all saffron and honey-gold. Everything smells like rain and oak leaves and woodsmoke and I'd die happy if it never got warmer.
