Excuses, Excuses

Oops...I forgot to post my weekly note yesterday. Totally, completely, it never even entered my brain, forgot. Is there a good reason for this? Yeah. Of course there is.

Harry Potter opened yesterday. Duh.

I spent the early part of the day being excited about the movie, the mid part seeing the movie, and the remainder of the day thinking about it. There was simply no room for anything else.

Was it worth forsaking my faithful friends who check in on this little blog every week?

Yeah. I enjoyed the movie, and seeing what made it to the screen and what did not. I loved watching the seven children in our group refusing to sit with us, throwing popcorn at each other, and generally behaving like teenagers. I got a huge kick out of hearing all the moms gasp with delight when Harry derobed for the bath scene, and then giggle nervously when they all realized they'd just oogled a child. Very amusing.

I will spend my time today wondering how my books will be adapated for the big screen.
