But I'll get to it this week I hope.

Once I was able to concentrate on a book for more than a page at at time again, I did find comfort (and distraction), so that's a great perk of reading, isn't it. <br /><br />It's light in the evening now at 6 or so - can't wait for warmer weathers and no winter coats and reading on a park bench. :) Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-70153584366387383852014-03-04T22:05:24.748+02:002014-03-04T22:05:24.748+02:00Ha ha ...

I don't remember what happens in Reign, but Bale and McConaughey are good enough for me. <br /><br />Curious to read your thoughts on The Fault in Our Stars.

The Olympics are obviously a distraction, but so good!<br /><br />Spring definitely feels like it is on its way so fingers crossed it makes a swift entrance. It would be nice to have a lot more light in our days.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362128444319074118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-6690371543316404362014-03-03T09:43:13.448+02:002014-03-03T09:43:13.448+02:00I also felt like Yule Ball was pretty good represe...I also felt like Yule Ball was pretty good representation of how the dances are at this age - over the moon at one point and crying on the stairs the next.

...Thanks Christine - it definitely was a bad month.<br /><br />Good to know not everyone loves the HP movies - in fact, I am not even sure why I thought people love them so much. Maybe I'm completely off here :) Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-17500827155775011072014-03-02T17:30:22.594+02:002014-03-02T17:30:22.594+02:00I'm not wild about the Harry Potter movies eit...I'm not wild about the Harry Potter movies either. There are moments in each of them that I think are absolutely superb, and totally true to the book -- in Goblet of Fire, it's the part where Hermione comes out of the dance, looking the way you look when you've made yourself extra pretty and then danced for several hours, and sits down on the stairs and cries. So exactly what dances are like at that age!<br /><br />Reign of Fire is the movie I haven't seen that I nevertheless quote the most often. My family is big into doing spit-takes, so I like doing that bit where Christian Bale (I think?) takes a drink and spits it out and yells IT'S WATER! :pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-57177535669910262482014-03-01T19:13:13.493+02:002014-03-01T19:13:13.493+02:00You have more reasons than most for February to ha...You have more reasons than most for February to have sucked (on top of all the regular reasons,) so you are more than welcome to wish for spring! <br /><br />I am very meh about the Harry Potter movies myself, much favoring the books -- definitely no fangirl here either!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.com
