More the former than the latter, I'm sorry to say.
Last weekend I cleaned the house, cleared the yard, and then watched a "horror" movie with the Young Prince (his selection was the Disney quasi-classic Something Wicked This Way Comes. I was equally charmed, surprised, and disappointed he didn't pick something more sinister, like The Omen or Cujo, but I suppose he slept better for it.
On Sunday, we met up with a friend and saw My Fair Lady on the big screen. It was rather enjoyable; the first time I've seen it in a theater. And it was my first time seeing a movie I'm totally used to on a TV screen where I wasn't distracted by how terribly different the theater experience was. I was also quite happy to see that there were three little girls behind us singing merrily away with most of the lyrics.
(And yes, I know, if my Womyn Card hadn't been officially revoked ages ago, this would surely cast me out. Even the YP leaned over to me in the middle of "Why Can't A Woman" and hissed, "MOM! Why haven't feminists lost their stuff about this?" And I hissed back, "Oh, sweetie. They totally have.")
Since then, it's been a series of school meetings for reviews of the kid's ADHD Allowances Plan, trying to keep up with work (where I'm trying to cram 40 hours of work into 24, and will doubtless be working even more than that 16-hour difference over the weekend) and looking ahead to December, when we might be dug out of work and will definitely be at the theater for the new Star Wars flick, having purchased our tickets Monday night along with the rest of the Western world.
In the meantime, anyone got any good Halloween plans?
