Birthdays are the most overrated things on the planet. Once you pass say, oh, 21, they begin that inevitable downward slide and just start sucking a little more each year until the day you die. Isn't that happy? My birthday was yesterday. Guess how it went. Go on, guess. Yeah. I spent lunch with my mother, rehashing as always the crappiness that was my childhood. I don't know what it is about my mother, whether she feels guilty she didn't save us sooner from the abusive monster that was my father, or if she just flat out doesn't think she was a good mother, or what, but every time we get together, she steers it into this degenerative crap about growing up in the Doyle household. Joy. Especially on one's birthday. Then I went to dinner and a movie with the boyfriend, and that was really fun and nice....until later in the evening, when it degenerated over an issue highly personal and yet, unbelievably stupid, that basically undid all the warm happy of the rest of the day. I would just as soon skip all subsequent birthdays, please. There were two good points of the day: 2. I got to go see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in the actual theatre, which was pretty cool, AND it was a better movie personally than the first. Much closer in spirit to the book, though I still think Snape needs to be a lot meaner. Lucius Malfoy was really well-cast and directed; very mean and nasty. And Dobby the House Elf was WAY less annoying than I thought he would be. In fact, he wasn't annoying at all. They did a good job with him. I think that kid who plays Draco is doomed forever. He's too good at sneering to ever be anything but Draco Malfoy. That Daniel kid who plays Harry though? Totally adorable. You could tell Richard Harris was sick; that was a total bummer, given that he's no longer with us. :( # of Katie Doyle googlers the last 2 days or so: 3 Excellent Search of the Day: Have a good day. Happy birthdays to you, one and all. Peace out, copyright 2002
