- Saw the Tutankhamen exhibit at the deYoung. It was win.

- Went across the street to the Academy of Sciences which I hadn't been to since it was rebuilt. It's nice but the rainforest exhibit had too long of a line so we didn't go into it. Shortly after we went in, the fire alarm went off and the museum was evacuated! Then everyone stood around while the firepersons examined the premises and concluded everything was fine. They even let us back in.

- Saw HBP. I think it was an accurate rendering of a book that was extremely uneven. I really like the story of HBP, I like Slughorn, I like Snape and Draco's storyline, I like Tom Riddle. I really dislike the romantic subplots and thought they were handled horribly in the books. The movie reflected both those aspects accurately. I think Jim Broadbent was great. I was totally impressed by Tom Felton, who has these scenes without dialogue or anyone to play against that must be hard to pull off, but he did it.

- On one of our flights, as the plane was landing, the plane in front of us failed to take off. We had already touched down on the runway and the pilot had to make an emergency takeoff to avoid a collision, then go around the traffic pattern again and get directed to another runway. Wheeeeeee!

- On the west coast it's been quite mild all week. When we arrived in Vermont, we found out the Northeast has been having a record heat wave. I think it's like 90F. I lol'd.

- My computer isn't here yet. /nailbite

It's been funny to me, because I'd been warned about how cold it could be, and of course I arrived in the middle of record breaking heat. :)

It has been the worst summer! Cold and rainy until very recently. Usually the muggy weather is later in the summer, so we really haven't had any hot, dry days yet. This kind of weather is great beach weather, but not so good for hiking or strenous outdoor activities. We lived in LA for three years, and loved that we could hike so much without bugs or humidity.
