Today I did something I've never done before that I always knew I would do someday: missed my exit! It's so absurd, I'm still not sure how it happened. I was going to a friend's apartment (somewhere I've been quite a few times, including just last Sunday), took note of the 1 1/2 miles till my exit sign, got over in the right lane . . . and next thing I know, I'm getting off at the exit after that one!
Anyway, after I got there, we went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Though it was very slow in the beginning, I think it ended up being my favorite Harry Potter movie so far.
Don't you hate it when a book you think you're going to love ends up disappointing you? I recently finished The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. It's about a wacky family of private investigators and I thoroughly enjoyed the first 3/4th or so of the book. It's well written and made me laugh out loud (which isn't easy to do), but I just feel it took a couple of wrong turns at the end, which put the whole book in a bad light for me. One plotline got way too serious for the book it was in. It felt exactly like when my sister used to take jokes too far.
Anyway, it's back to my great Harry Potter re-read.
