Oooh, butter. Avatar seems to have worked out okay so far -- he did say "I don't want to talk about it" afterwards but that might have just been because he was hungry for lunch and also probably didn't want to hear his egghead parents deconstruct it. I have to admit that I was surprised by how much I liked the movie, myself. Though the 3D glasses are annoying. Indeed, a surplus for me, too! Oooh, butter.

That sounds right up his alley. He just finished How to Train Your Dragon (because we are mean and made him read it before seeing the movie) and is nearly done with The Lightning Thief, the first Percy Jackson & the Olympians book (ditto). Then it's on to Harry Potter #3. He's got a read-a-thon right now for school to raise money for their camping trip later in the Spring so is reading up a storm -- I will order these up from the library now!

Has Gus tried reading the Erin Hunter Warrior books (or is he just mainlining Harry Potter)? The main characters are all cats. Henry is completely obsessed, well for the last three days at least. A seemingly endless number of books have been written, so I'm sure his interest will give out before he runs out of reading material, which is nice. Speaking of cats, kind of.

We do usually squander sitters on movies though, we can walk to the Esquire from home which is great, and there's not much else to do up there besides eat & drink & listen to terrible open mic nights (honestly, if I owned that place I'd introduce "closed mic" nights!) none of which takes the 4 hours minimum.

I will out myself as a Bad Person and admit that part of my interest in watching the Olympics over the weekend was in case of falling. But also it was nice that the Norwegian won the gold after his awful fall 3 yrs ago. Falling down is kind of enthralling.
