I got today off, so I had a second chance to do what I was wanting to yesterday but could not. Got laundry done, bills paid, and took Samantha to see the new Harry Potter. Danny wanted to go, but after seeing it I am glad I left him at home.
He's an interesting kid, and not just because of how he came into this world. He has a somewhat unpredictable outlook on life in general, and the movies in particular. He knows it's make-believe, but that doesn't stop him from getting very emotionally invested. Tonight my Ex was telling me that when she let him watch Lord of the Rings on DVD with Mike, that Dan was fine will all of it--up until the point where (and I hope I'm not spoiling this for anyone) Frodo loses his finger. And then Dan just lost it so Mike spent a bit of time hugging him and calming him down.
After the movie, Sam decided she'd like to read the books, so we went to Borders and got her the first one. It took a little while to find it. They had a display of the latest volume with some boxed sets of the series in hardback (for a mere $158.00--yeah, no thank you). We wandered through the sci-fi books with no luck, looked at the other HP displays, and eventually found them in the back in the kids section on the Easy Reader shelf. Imagine that, a kids book in with the kids books! I've not read them, and my only association with them is through the movies, so I keep forgetting the stories started life as childrens' books.
When I got back here, I found in the mail more court case-related mail. I was wondering if she was protesting how many of her interrogatories I had objected to and supplied only a limited answer, but no. It's his reply to my amended complaint that I filed back in the beginning of May. So now I have to see if I can ask the Judge to either quash or deny his reply for being too late, and then write a motion to send to the court.
