Oh dear. My wonderfully good NZ post pen and my newspaper of sudoku was chewed by puppies today, as Ants and I discovered when we came home from the movies. I had put both of them on the side table, thinking that they would be out of harms way there. I was wrong. I’m mostly disappointed because the pen was given to me by one of the Kiwi’s on my Pikler course. It wrote really really well.
In other news, Ants and I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince tonight. It was fairly good. Once again they had to cut out most of the background story, however, the main story was stuck to. Ron was a dweeb, Lavender was suitably annoying. Malfoy was played beautifully, and Harry, well, he was Harry. There were many LOTR moments in the movie though with Gollum being a model for the infuiri, Dumbledoor taking a likening to Gandalf, and of course the death eaters are much like ringwraith. But that aside, it was a good job. Not as squeamishly bad like the first 3 films. I’m pleased with the new directors work.
Before the movie, we had a lunch/dinner at ‘Old Orleans’ which sold not just jambalaya and such, but also bloody good mexican. So that’s what we got, a lime chillie chicken, and a steak fajitas, plus a key lime pie (thanks to Dexter) and a banana smoothie. Mmm yum, my tummy is full.

Ants and I went into town last night and got our tickets for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I’m so excited! I hope this movie lives up to be better than the first 3… well at least the first 2!

Warning: If you haven`t read the book, and don`t want to know the story, don`t read this.
So I’ve finally finished reading all the books through, and I have to say, that I’m not entirely happy with the way that this one turned out – though it was still a thrilling read. Read more…
I’ve just finished playing Harry Potter & the Philosophers Stone.

We got our copy! Though I intend to read the other books (well at least the goblet) before I read this one. I can’t really remember what happens! Lol
