Yep, I'm alive. At the parents' for a few days to dogsit while they're in Toronto. Over the last two weeks, I've had two different sets of cousins visit and, as such, have been way the hell too social for my tastes. :P
CB is back in town from Cambodia, too, so I need to see her... MG arrives in town tomorrow with the kids and I'm apparently going to a picnic with them and some other people on Sunday (?! I know, right?) and then next week
drsnicket comes to town with her amazingly gorgeous and beautiful and smiley daughter, L, and there's a baby shower on the 1st for VP...
BUSY TIMES.
I did manage to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Having just re-read it about three months ago, I know why they cut out what they did; there's only so much you can fit into 2.5 hours! I do prefer the book better. Still, the movies astound me with how cohesive and strong they can be, despite leaving out large chunks or re-writing bits.
