Wednesday – 11 July 2007
Last night was Harry Potter night. Many thanks, major kudos and a danke schen to for getting us tickets to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I thought that it was a good adaptation of (what I remember from) the book. Perfect? I don’t know that I’d call it “perfect,” but it was fun… exactly as a summer movie should be. I even referred to it as “…a great Star Wars movie.” No, there were no lightsabers or AT-ATs or Aluminum Falcons Millennium Falcons… but there was a very good wizards’ battle at the movie’s climax, which I thought had the same feel as the ‘saber battle in Empire Strikes Back – this is what I wanted to see. Go check it out.

Post-movie, I had dinner with , Mr. and Mrs. , Vikki and Chris. I found out that the went kayaking this weekend.

This morning, I woke up with a headache the size of… um… well, it hurt a lot. So I ignored the alarm (and the iPod) and rolled over to try and see if a little more sleep would help abate it. It did, to a degree. But, not enough of one.

Stray Toasters

  • On the way to the theatre, Queen’s “A Kind of Magic” made its way into the iPod music rotation. It made me laugh.
  • : You should touch base with ; he seems to have discovered an affinity for kayaking.
  • Transformers may be “More than meets the eye,” but what happens when they meet the Blendtec?
  • By way of : Eyes Wide Shut – blindfolded artists draw their famous characters.
  • Pixel Mario cake made from cupcake squares
  • Steampunk motorcycles

Attack the day like birds of prey…

Namaste.
