sam_gamgeeThis morning I wrapped all of two gifts and put them under the tree. The last two will be done when the final one arrives and I decide if I want to wrap them together or separately.
Y picked me up at noon in my brother's truck (it's a four-wheel drive), and we headed up to Wilmington. After parking, we went to the theatre and picked up the new tickets. Then we got lunch from the hotel that's attached to the parking garage and made it back in time for the show. And were *very* glad that we got our tickets first, since the line for the Box Office/Will Call was huge with people waiting to get tickets. It was cute seeing all the little girls in the audience with their pretty dresses. The show was good and we both enjoyed it. As we were leaving, Y joked that she was going to call her mom and say, "Why did you never take me to see The Nutcracker?!?"
My dad dug us out while I was out, along with our neighbors (who are older), my grandparents and his girlfriend. Good thing he has a snowblower.
I watched Angels and Demons tonight and enjoyed it as much as I did the book. And both times I felt betrayed by a certain character. (Yes, I realize I'm silly - he wouldn't have not done it in the movie, since it was in the book.) And it didn't hit me until near the end of the movie that I feel like Ewan McGregor was rightly cast for the Carmelengo, even if they had to change the character's given name, since Ewan's not Italian.
