Megan has picked up a new habit. When I ask her if she wants to do something that she doesn't want to do she will say, "Not today. Maybe Tuesday." or "Maybe tomorrow." Tonight I was talking to Lori after dinner and I said "Would you mind if I go see an M.O.V.I.E?" I spelled it out because Megan loves movies and I was sure she would want to go. Before Lori could even respond Megan said, "Not tonight. Maybe tomorrow." And Lori and I gave each other this look, and then I looked again at Megan and she kind of smiled and I could see in her eyes that she knew she had just let the cat out of the bag. We played with her saying, "Would you like to see an M.O.V.I.E. before bed time?" She danced around it and then said she wanted to see "Ice Age." It was very cute. She is really, really, bright.
Oh, yeah, the movie I ended up seeing was Lucky Number Slevin on Lori's recommendation. It was a good movie, well put together, though a little violent. Not like Sin City violent, but more than Pulp Fiction. Lori clued me in beforehand that all was not as it seems and I was able to see through some of the plot action. Though the stuff at the very end caught me a little off guard. Definitely recommended, if not in the theatre certainly on DVD when it rolls around.
Speaking of DVD. Is it just me or has the announcement and release of HD DVD and Blu-Ray drawn one collective thud. It seems to be of interest to nobody. And I don't know of anyone who is even talking about it or thinking about getting a player. Speaking for just myself I haven't bought any DVDs for me since Christmas and my DVD buying overall has dropped to almost nothing outside of kids movies.
