I took W. to see Avatar 3D on Saturday. I’m not sure that he was too excited about actually seeing the movie (I guess he’s just not that aware of the movie at all, which is kind of a good thing, I guess) but I thought he might enjoy it anyway, so off we went over to Manville for the 12:30 PM showing. It was not bad – the story is OK, but the effect are pretty darn impressive. You can bet it will see a bunch of Oscar nominations this week.
I also updated a bunch of the kids’ book over on LibraryThing the other day – we’re finally near the end of cataloging every book that is worth cataloging. Also, I finally finished book 7 – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I had bought books 1 through 4 10 years ago, before W. was born, for my children to one day read. Sure enough, last year W. came across the books on his bookshelf and instantly fell in love with the stories. I bought the books 5 through 7 for him, which he devoured in no time, so I decided to read the books myself. They were sure enough entertaining, but it really wasn’t until the Goblet of Fire that I felt the story become interesting, to the point that I really wanted to know how it was going to end. Some things I figured out (like Severus Snape, for example) but even so, there were enough twisted along the way to make the overall series enjouyable. The problem is: what to read next!
