8 pages today. Short piece still going well. Trinity and I watched "Fairy Tale" the movie about the two young girls that took the fairy photos in the early 1900s. The ones that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published and talked about. The movie inspired her to make a lovely fairy house out in the yard. Jon played in his office on War-Crack during our movie viewing. He and I took turns doing things with Trinity so that the other person could have some alone time. It’s been a week with precious little of that for either of us. Jon then took Trin and went to Borders. He bought books and comics and she bought Bionicles. I had the house to myself to read, watch none kid-safe television, or simply to sit in the quiet with the dogs. All things that have been in short supply this week. Jon also picked up the third Mummy movie with Brandon Fraiser, which we saw in theaters, but thought we’d watch this evening, but we made the mistake, or maybe the happy accident, of catching the beginning of "The Princess Bride" on television. It’s one of those movies that you think, I’ll watch it until this scene, or that scene, and you suddenly realize you’ve watched all of a movie that you own on DVD. There are a handful of movies that are simply addictive and there is only one cure, turn off the t.v. and get the DVD and simply give in and watch the movie, or do what we just did, fool yourself into watching it in pieces, but at the end either way you aren’t unhappy. The three of us quoted lines along with the characters, and it’s still one of the best sword fights ever choreographed for the screen. There was food eaten, conversations exchanged, and Jon’s found a new book that he’s really enjoying reading, in the end it was just a good Saturday at home together.
