While the juice is still flowing... (Cousin weekend)
I think the sun-like internal temperatures regularly reached by my laptop have begun melting the plug that connects the power cable to the machine. Since my battery can't hold more than 5 minutes of power, I may be rather up a creek here. The Best Buy service plan recently expired and I didn't renew it because a) it's a lot of money and b) I can no longer handle sending my computer away for six weeks at a time.
Just to confirm: this is a flask, right?
I found it for half off and it was cute and seemed like it could be useful sometime, so I bought it. However, this confuses me:
Is it meant for carrying tea, then? Apple juice for the kids?
My mom is having her two youngest nieces, ages 14 and 11, down for two weeks. I'm not sure they've ever been outside their home state before, so this is an experience for them. They arrived at the airport Saturday afternoon; we took them to Build-a-Bear then ordered pizza and watched Howl's Moving Castle on DVD. Sunday we went to the movies. My waiting paid off, as I finally got to see the Harry Potter movie with my mom.
Cousin H (14): So what were you thinking when Harry went into Severus's mind?
Rusty and RustyMom: Um....
Cousin H: That he's REALLY hot, right? Even though he's way older than me, he's really hot for his age.
(And while I'm behind the cut, Luna wasn't what I pictured from the books, but I loved her. And I love that her patronus is a rabbit or hare. ::bonds::)
So it turns out Cousin H is a huge Snape fan and Cousin M has a crush on Draco Malfoy. She "hates" Hermione because of a certain physical slight Hermione visited upon said dreamy bleached blond in a previous movie. ::shakes head::
The trailers were fun.

- I'm very excited about Get Smart. I had some good times with that show back in the Nick at Nite glory days. Big crush on Agent 99, and of course I got emotionally involved despite it being all silliness. And now, Steve Carrell!
- There was also a trailer for some fantasy movie... a Philip Pullman novel, maybe? (They're on my list, but I'm stuck a few chapters into the third Sally Lockhart book right now.) Anyway, suddenly Christopher Eccleston shows up all dark and glowering on a black horse, and my mom and I spin immediately to look at each other. I'm so proud she recognized him!
- Not in this set of trailers, but I didn't mention it before: The Water Horse omg. Baby loch ness monster! Little Scottish children! I can barely contain myself. (And somebody alert Marshall and Lily!)
