something wicked this way comes

Went to the theatre to day to catch Cuaron's take on the adventures of our favourite boy wizard. I enjoyed it, but would have done so much more if not for the annoying, squabbling children sitting around me. When they weren't chomping on their popcorn like barnyard animals or throwing it around to annoy their friends sitting in front of them, they were talking about "what's supposed to happen next," or pulling each other's shoes off. Finally I got fed up, leaned over and said scoldingly, "Would you boys please behave?!?"

Man! I'm like, officially old now.

Whatever. It did the trick. Those boys sat up straight and remained quiet for the duration of the movie. Of course they probably blasted me once they left the theatre, but I didn't care. I got to enjoy the rest of the movie in relative peace. If only they had adult-only screenings of movies like they do with the books.

i *heart* ny
after the movie, i grabbed a burger at A&W (I love that they serve their fountain drinks in chilled glass mugs), then went to chapters to pick up a copy of TONY in preparation for my visit in August. They only had the eating and drinking guide from the first week of may in the stands, but I thought, what the heck, it's as good an issue as any to pick up. Then I went to the park, sat on the grass with my barefeet, and leafed through the magazine, while enjoying the last few hours of sunshine. I'm getting more and more excited about visiting the bright lights, big city with each week that passes.
