Dang, is that woman ever going to update her web page again???
Hey y'all. I'm still around. Just haven't had much time for updating lately. It has been a busy trip!
I am in Athens, Georgia, now for a few more days. Next week I head back to Munich. Marty's already on his way. Well, his flight doesn't leave until Sunday, but he left this morning to drive back up the east coast to his brother's in Virginia. He is flying out of DC.
I'm feeling a little scattered. It must be something to do with my rapidly advancing age!
The new year so far has been full of birthday celebrations. We had birthday cake at my mom's on the first, and she and I both opened presents. Then last night there was a cake for Marty's mom and me. Today (my actual birthday) there doesn't appear to be any cake forthcoming, but I am going to the skating rink with some friends! And we're having dinner at The Grit (an Athens landmark). So it should be a fun evening.
What else, what else... last night Marty and I went to see the new Lord of the Rings movie. I liked it lots, especially the Ents and Smeagol (always one of my favorite characters). I don't think I liked it quite as much as the first one, but I keep reminding myself it's the second movie of a trilogy, and that's a rough role for a movie to fill. Because you don't have the dramatic energy of the beginning of the story, or the tension and suspense of the end of a story, you just have... the middle. So all things considered, I thought it was pretty good.
But it's funny, because last year I saw Harry Potter and liked it, and then saw The Fellowship of the Ring and liked it much more. And this year, I saw Harry Potter 2 and the new LOTR, and I love love love Harry Potter, and I just like LOTR. Hm. I wonder why. Anyway, I've taken advantage of being home to watch a lot of movies. Besides LOTR, I saw Drumline, Star Trek Nemesis, and 8 Mile.
Okay, I have to go find some thick socks to wear to the skating rink. Haaa! I can't wait to have a grape soda! Do you think they still play Funky Town? (I doubt it. But maybe I could convince them to spin a little Blowin' Me Up...)
