Dragons & Cars
We won't even talk about the 'Canes' loss last night.
We will talk about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. We went to see it on Saturday night. This was a giant mistake as it was also the night of the giant tree lighting at the mall. So, pretty much all of Durham was there and standing, not moving. So, after looking for a parking spot for a while, I dropped my wife off to let our friends know we WERE here, just looking for a spot. Well, after circling some more, I thought to check on valet. The first lot was full, but second was not. I paid to park and this was at 7:45pm when the movie was supposed to be starting. It then took me about 15 minutes to travel the approx. 1000 ft. to the movie theatre. In retrospect, I should have gone around the back of the building. Meanwhile, I arrived late, but still enojoyed the movie greatly.
My only complaint, and I may have NEVER made this complaint about any movie before this: It could have been longer. It was almost 3 hours, but I caould have watched at least 30 minutes of the Quidditch World Cup and I could have definitely watched some of the slower, but funnier plot lines from the book that were left out.
Meanwhile, my post about god taking care of us, while I'm sure is true, is not in the way I expected. The car from the guy at work doesn't look like it's going through. We're going to have to figure out some other way to purchase a car and get a good deal. So, if anyone knows of a way to do that, please let me know.
