Czech class rebelled today, and so Hana let us off to run our errands and sleep. Very kind of her. Now I'm faced with so much free time, I hardly know what to do with myself.

I dreamed Suzanne, George and I were the only people working in the bookstore, and strange customers kept stopping in. We decided to chase everyone out so we could sit around and read. If only work were more like that..

Still very grey and damp. Mailed my scholarship application and bought stamps for my Christmas cards. Ate an orange for breakfast. Talked to Melynda. We're seeing Harry Potter tonight at the Gateway. Must make sure I see my grandparents before I go to the theater.

School is so full of idiots. Everywhere. I feel decidedly anti-college kid today.

I almost saw the sun

My grandparents won't arrive til tomorrow. Held up by the weather. Better that they stay off some of those roads, but I'm still disappointed. I haven't seen them in a year.

Wrapped up in my blankets, just sleeping and day dreaming. Do I meet Melynda down at Metro or at the theater? Ehh.. decisions.

Just came home from Harry Potter. Haven't seen a movie on opening day in ages. Got out of the habit when I started dating someone who wasn't into film. Pretty cool. I have the feeling that if I had seen that movie when I was younger, it would have infected me with an intense enthusiasm. I felt some of that tonight, the eleven year old inside reaching out with delight. I loved the broom flying, and the spiky haired instructor. Makes me want to be a professor of Magic when I grow up. I had a great time, and I'm glad Melynda insisted we go.

Previews for a number of movies. Notably an insanely bad animation about wild mustangs. We almost died with laughter afterwards in the silence because a kid in front of us whispered loudly, "That was so cool." Good to see sarcasm starts early.

The preview for the newest episode of Star Wars was fascinating, in terms of revealing the history of Luke's parents. Other than that, it didn't excite me much. A shot of Boba Fett and some fancy space scenes were the best parts, and seeing Anakin start to crack.

The preview for Lord of the Rings however... I think I forgot to breathe. It looked Incredible. Beyond my wildest expectations. I can not wait to see it.

So I had much fun. Especially standing in the parking lot with Melynda talking about impossible desires when we broke into Nine Inch Nails. I'm drunk and I'm so in love with you and right now I don't care too much about what I should or shouldn't do... It was a truly grand moment. I love that girl.

Worked my way out of the crowded lot and drove home, with my mix cd blasting away. I wish you could have seen me then, wearing one of my favorite shirts, singing along to "#1 Crush" and shifting into fifth gear on Mopac. I was amazing.
