2/10: What I Accomplished Today

1. Valentine's Day WOW was supposed to start today and didn't. Wonder what's up.

2. Night Elf Priest to 41.

3. We watched one of the commentary tracks on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The actress who played Lucy was astonishing (and it's really her movie, so she needs to be), so she needed to be on the track, so the director had a track with the kids. Kind of cute in the right mood. I suspect that, for the two younger children (who played Lucy and Edmund), that track will end up being the equivalent of naked baby pictures on a bear rug: something brought up by parents on Prom Night to humiliate you if you're note careful. They did a pretty credible job for 10- and 12-year-old kids. On the other hand--they're 10- and 12-year-old kids, and intelligent enough to do a pretty good job in a movie which they were largely going to have to carry by its very nature. By definition, certain elements of their personalities will render them unfit company for people for longer than a few minutes (although they're utterly delightful for a few minutes).

(Yes, yes, my opinion would obviously be different if I'd spent more time with children. Maybe. I did enough babysitting that this pattern held pretty well.)

4. I forget to mention that yesterday I caught up on my magazines and read a good chunk in The Namesake. More in the book today.

5. I've put it off long enough; now I must pay the bills. In the months in which there is plenty of money to do this and still have some left, this is fun. In the months where there is not plenty of money and you have to tap into what was left in a previous month, the fun quotient is considerably lower. This month would be one of the latter. Blech.
