An Ode to Coffee



Two cups today. Three cups last night. Not making too much sense today. Keep forgetting what I'm doing. Huh? Did you say something? What?
Oh, ok- I'm awake, I'm awake. The movie was AWESOME last night. Everybody must go out and see it. It was funny and plenty scary. I loved it. Go now. It was pretty true to the book (more so than the last one), so I was happy. Christy, Brooke, and I got there at like 10:30 or 10:45 expecting a huge line. To my surprise, there was no line, and they had already opened the theaters so we could just go on in. Nice. Kristen and JR met us in the theater. There was a decent amount of people dressed up. Lots of homemade t-shirts. Lots of Hogwarts scarves. And lots of fake plastic Harry glasses. I hear (I did not see) one girl was dressed up as Hedwig and had white feathers glued to her body. Clever. There was a costume contest in the theater to keep us amused for the hour before the show, but I think our theater was kind of lame. It was really dark at the front of the theater, and I couldn't really make out who they were. There were a couple of Hermiones (did I spell that right?)- one being Asian. One kid tried to get away with saying he was a Muggle. Come on kid, we can see right through that!! You're not dressed up, lame-o! Anyway, I had a blast, and I am completely delirious today. Sweet.
Today is Grandparents' Day here at school. That means they come eat lunch with the kiddoes then get to make a classroom visit. An interesting side note: my first year of teaching, during the classroom visit, I was giving just an awesome lesson while the grandparents were in there. I mean, I was on fire. And someone totally pooted. Loudly. I'm pretty sure it was a grandparent. And there were two kids that could NOT stop laughing even though I pleaded with my eyes to stop. That is the HARDEST I have ever fought laughter. In my life.
Have a good weekend!

I'm glad to hear it follows the book better than the last film. I hate it when movies that are based on good books don't stick to the original story. Six more days until I see it with the fam.

I must say I got a little teary at one (maybe two) points.
