And so there's snow on the ground, the temperature has dropped quite a bit and the house is almost back to normal. My folks have left, leaving a bit of time with my sister and her husband and then it's just us once again through the new year. Well, I tell a lie. It sounds like there's a pretty good chance that we'll have a visitor next week. And that will be a welcome bit of fun.
Caught Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I liked it as much as the last film, if not a touch more. The first chunk is quite jumpy as they cut bits from the book left and right, but then it settles down and you get a good story.
Millions was also quite enjoyable. Some really good acting and a delightfully moral story. If you run across it, do yourself a favor and give it a go. Danny Boyle is another director to watch.
We've acquired quite a few games over the last week. The best of the lot so far is probably Qwitch. If you've ever played the card game speed, the concept is similar only letters and numbers are thrown into the mix. It's by Out of the Box Games - the people that did Apples to Apples and Shipwrecked. They're quite the talented bunch.
We've also played a bit of Tsuro (which is beautiful and challenging) and Killer Bunnies (which is mostly silly but also oddly compelling).
