spousal duties

[realthog]

Oh, gawd, I'm being dragged orft to see Harry Potter and the Half-Cut Prince tonight. Wish me strength, folks.

Last night we likewise went out on a date, and we discovered a magnificent beer: Troeg's Hopback Amber. Now, if I could smuggle a few bottles of that into the cinema tonight perhaps it'd help with the ol' fortitude . . .

Ah, but you must take spousal duties seriously. Besides, Harry Potter is a very good movie. I've seen them all and read the books.

I'm seeing it Friday or Saturday with younger daughter and nephew.

"but you must take spousal duties seriously"

I do! I do! Not just seriously but downright grimly.

"Besides, Harry Potter is a very good movie."

Er, but you haven't yet seen it . . .

"I've seen them all and read the books."

You are braver than I am. I got through the first of the books and that was enough for me. The movies, obviously, have been compulsory, um, treats.

No, no, no. Not grimly. Grimly is in Lord of the Rings. *g*

I've seen the other movies and read all the books. You know, my juvenile side craves young adult books.

"my juvenile side craves young adult books"

So does mine, just not the Harry Potter books. But Pam reads them all eagerly -- from the UK editions, if she can get them, because the US publisher has done some dumbing down, alas.

I read them eagerly too. And it's true that the US editions are dumbed; we have two of the books in UK edition,(forget which ones) that we bought in Europe and they are different.
