estepheiaHappy Easter, everybody! And a lot of hoppy bunnies to you!
Our Easter has been splendid so far. We had Raclette last night and rumpsteak with salad and potatoes today. Both kids are feeling a lot better - they helped in the kitchen, and they ate huge amounts. I played a boardgame with them and they were pretty well behaved (makes me wonder how long their current affliction has gone undiagnosed). In a minute we'll watch a movie. We'll give Ivanhoe a shot, with the option of switching toTraumschiff Surprise (a German Star Trek spoof) if the kids don't like Ivanhoe.
Hubby's cold is getting better.
Last night we watched the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (which I'd seen in Tampa, when it came out) - and again I was saddened by all the missed opportunities. Sean Connery is great, the opening is fun and promising (I love recruitment scenes), but the main plot is just dumber than dumb. Very unfortunate. And some of the CGIs are sucky beyond compare. But since I had more than a year to get over my initial disappointment, I have to say that it wasn't as unbearable as I remembered it. Just pretty bad.
Tomorrow I'll try to find a beta for my current fic, maybe I'll even write for an hour or two. :-)

Date: 2005-03-28 08:28 am (UTC)I also hated the things they did with the Nautilus - especially the whole Venice sub-plot. Do they honestly want me to believe that the freaking sub can travel through Venice and cut corners there? Bah!
But I liked the Quartermain/Sawyer father/son thing - and Mina and Dorian having history, that was well done too. :-)
