Feeling old...
My daughter just had a birthday, she's twelve now. Holy crap, that means it's been 12 frickin' years since I haven't been a parent. Man, I feel old. So anyway her birthday party was just last night. It went quite well considering how many kids were there. All told I think there were about 13 kids at one point. Oh yeah, did I mention too that there were a few BOYS in attendance? Yeah, I feel old. At 9:00 all the boys went home and all the kids hunkered down in Adriene's room in full slumber party mode. Angie got up early and made a pancake breakfast and now the girls are just doing secret girl things until all the parents come to get them. Angie has already left for work so I hope it's soon. I could do with P&Q.
Watched a movie last night too that made me feel old. High Fidelity. It's a clever and somewhat entertaining movie. However it's not nearly as deep and inteligent now as it was 8 years ago. Now it just seems terribly shallow and whiny. It's got a great soundtrack though (even though I'm not cool enough to know who any of the artists are), and really do like the narration-for-the-audience style that most of it is written in. The good news though is that I also have Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part Deux still to watch this weekend before they're due back at the store. Nothing like a bit abject silliness to help repair my mood.
