jumperkidAs I have some time off of work, I went and spent some time with the lovely bookwench. We had a grand old time. I wish I could have stayed longer! Whilst sight-seeing, we rediscovered the lost art of rolling down hills. HOW could we have forgotten how much fun that is?! I highly recommend it to all. Especially if you add in the re-enactment of that pivotal scene from "The Princess Bride" where Buttercup pushes Westley. (Seriously, sir_gareth, you need to see this movie! It's so, so great!) Ah, yes. Good times. We also saw the most photographed site in Georgia which was very photogenic, and about 18,000 deer. No, really, there were, like, more deer than people.
I am now at my parents house, hiding from Ivan, as it were. Actually, I've been planning to come here for a while, it just happened that I was also conveniently escaping some bad weather. It's been quiet, but nice. I have my parents all to myself since my little sister moved out. We have big plans for tomorrow, assuming we don't get blown away tonight.

*snicker* Gareth is catching so much crap about his "The Princess Bride is a chick flick" comment. I love it. :D

Hence, I am guessing that it's not really as good as y'all are making out... because us Brits have far more discerning taste about such stuff.

Well if you are there tonight( and you don't already have plans) a group of us HP fanatics are going to see POA one last time...it is now playing at the dollar theater near Gwinnett Place Mall. We are meeting at The Olive Garden (3565 Mall Blvd. Duluth, Ga) at 5:45 to have dinner and then heading over to the theater for the 8pm show. Email me at tldammann@hotmail.com if you are interesting in meeting us.
