Mania

I've dedicated my entire weekend to Harry Potter and his band of innocent magical ruffians.

I stayed in most of the day on Saturday (we were supposed to go to the Pride parade but Scott's hotel had a fire and he had to work) and finished Half Blood Prince, which did end tragically but not nearly as tragic as Sirius Black's death in my opinion. I've already started Deathly Hallows, which is turning out to so far live up to the hype as the last book. It is dark, tense, suspenseful....and I'm sure every reader is pushing back the notion that Harry might indeed die at the end of this one.

So my entire weekend was dedicated to the not-so-little wizard that has captivated the entire world.

Scott pretty much laid around yesterday. We did manage to watch Apocalypto, a movie about the beginning of the Mayan people's downfall (widely attributed to either their own savagery against each other or the arrival of the Spaniard conquistadors). It was intense because there are some scenes that look as if it takes place in Tikal, which is where we visited in Guatemala. I am aware however, that those temples were very similar and common to all ancient Mayan cities. It was a pretty good movie, although quite savage, so not appropriate for children.

Then, Scott managed to hook up our new monitor and our printer! YAY! As soon as I clean the small room, I'll post some pics up of the shiny new computer stuff. LOL
