Little tiny flakes are falling from the sky. I’m actually a little surprised by it. We were gone last year when it snowed and by the time we returned it had disappeared. In fact, since we’ve lived in Dallas I’ve only seen it snow once, and that was two February’s ago. It’s a pretty clear memory since it was the only time I’ve ever seen an anatomically correct snowman …. and the newspeople on all the stations acted like snow had been created just so that they could report about it. One field reporter would stand somewhere in Fort Worth talking about how it was snowing, then they would cut to a second field reporter standing somewhere in Dallas seemingly amazed that it was snowing in Dallas as well. They all came across as total morons. I refuse to turn on the television, just in case they’re pulling the same stunt this time.
I went to the Harry Potter movie not long ago. It was a pretty good adaptation of the book with all the unnecessary and redundant bits chopped off. In fact there were one or two parts of the film that were better than what I envisioned when I read the book. Still, with all the cutting they did from the book version it still ran more than two hours. I didn’t really notice the time much because it was fast paced enough to keep things moving.
