My day off

Started with me waking up at around 0500. But that's okay, because I got to sleep during the night! It's astonishing how delightful that really is - I can't wait for next week. ;)

Then I got to "chat" with someone that I don't hear from nearly enough, damn it.

And I found myself unaccountably happy!

Well, not unaccountably per se, but happy.

So I did laundry. Ate. Watched some cartoons from my large library purloined and stored on the drive farm. No Naruto yet, though. [pokes Tursi]

Then I went to the bank. The line was too long, so to hell with that! I was off to the mall! For bubble tea and pizza!

Ever notice how when you're happy the world seems happy too? Well it does. :)

Tried to deal with some idiots on the phone for a while, but they stubbornly remained idiots. I'll try again later with different idiots.

Then I went to see Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. And it wasn't too bad.

Now, I'm not a great one for children's movies. I watch the cartoons and am pretty childish, but there's a limit beyond which I just get bored.

When I was compelled to see Harry Potter (the first one), I was willing but not overly interested. But I made a point of reading the book to bring myself up to speed as to why it was such a big deal. And I got it.

The second book was better still, and the series reached its pinacle in book three. The following ones were okay, but I still prefer the third book.

So with that in mind, perhaps I do kind of like children's movies. Although never in my life would I have guessed I'd be going to a movie starting with the words "Lemony Snicket". :P

Go check it out, but don't go alone. It would have been more fun to giggle at it with someone, like everybody else was doing. And don't let the baby bite you.

Then home and here I am. Since I went to that movie against the advice of someone, I'll take her advice on what to see now. I'll just have time before work, and she has impeccable taste. ;)
