Now here is a hate thread I can get behind.  I hate our stupid house so much!  I want our apartment back.  I loved living downtown, I loved hearing people coming and going and stuff going on down in the street and mostly having year round access to a GIANT INDOOR POOL.  Now I'm stuck in this stupid house-shaped box…

I avoided the Superbowl as much as possible.  I think Ravenclaw won maybe?  They beat Gryffindor. Hermione is my favourite too. And Voldemort is kind of a boring villain, Dolores Umbridge is way more evil.

Did you see the Pete & Pete video?  Don't turn it up loud if your little cousins are around, its not suitable for little ears!  Its so funny, Claudia!

You figured out the secret?  I don't think I had figured it out even after the movie was over!  A haunted diary?  Oh, and the big basilisk thing. How did it fit in the toilet?  Didn't it come out of the toilet or sink or something? Harry and Ginny will be a couple eventually.  And Hermione and Ron, although I never…

Happy Setsubun! Bowling?  Well, okay, I guess you can throw bowling balls instead of beans? Did you watch a Harry Potter movie? Oh wait, I know which one! Chamber of Secrets! I got a notification that you gave it a B+!

The movie was really good!  But I'm done with Hitchcock, I only watched the two in a row because I was itching for a movie on a train and thought of that one just then.  My next movie has to be extra special, so I'm adding to the list.  Kuroneko isn't exactly witches, but black cats are close enough and I know it will…

Haysoos, if my prairie dog was actually a marmot, why did she introduce herself as Priscilla Dawn Prairie Dog?  Although her bag did have Marjorie embroidered on it, so I wonder….  My train movie is The Lady Vanishes.  Its about a lady vanishing on a train, I think.  I hope they don't try to find her, because if I…

I'm glad to hear you survived the marathon!  Caramels and Choco Pie with cocoa and marshmallows is a perfect way to recover.  Is EB dehydrated maybe, is that why he's choosing water over cocoa?  How do you mean people got sick?  Like, barfing sick?  2 kms is exactly the distance to our grocery and back again so I can…

Movies ONLY in the dark!  We have a little projector just for movies, so it has to be pitch black.  That's why no drippy snacks allowed.  Drips + fleece = scream!

The movie was good!  It wasn't exactly what I expected, since it was pretty clear early on whether or not the guy was guilty.  But it had TWO scenes on a train, included the exciting conclusion!  My snacks weren't very suspenseful either, just the sesame sticks and raisinettes.  A suspense movie really requires a bag…

Claudia, EB is really using his beautiful new kotatsu for STUDYING? A study date should mean just enough studying that your cousins don't take the kotatsu away, but not one second more!  Date YES, study NO! Is there enough room underneath it for you and EB to disappear under the blanket?

You can't create a mystery about why you jumped and then not expect me to ask!  Do you sometimes just feel like jumping?  Were you pretending to jump over a rattlesnake? I can understand just wanting to jump because.  Do you walk along curbs or hop up on concrete planters and things? I'm glad you didn't twist your…

Claudia, I melted my feet! My slippers, I mean!

Well, you can say the name of your school is over your heart because it BREAKS YOUR HEART to have your school associated with such boring uniforms.  Pepto bismal, ha ha!

Yes to pretending to study and polka dots and warm toes!  Have you tried it out?  Okay, one thing I've wondered about them, can you get burned?  Is the heater behind a grill or something so you can't accidentally stick your knee or toe into it?  I've been thinking of things like this a lot since lighting my sock on…

A kotatsu!  My cold feet are so jealous!
 
How big is it?  What room is it going in?  Did you also get a new blanket to cover it with?  Will you be able to sleep under it?

Do you think you could make the Louise Brooks hair work for you?  That sort of cut requires just exactly the right face or else it looks like a bowl-cut. I guess it also helps if its 1928.

Well, I guess being late because of Art Club is okay.  What is your club working on now?  Your week is too long! I keep saying you need a special Claudia Day soon. Is there something you really really want to do that you could make a day around?  Besides Taco Nite of course, that is a holiday in itself.

Another late day!  Poor Claudia, is all this catching up because of that day you missed?  And still more homework to look forward to?  Do you at least get two days off this weekend?

I am sick of flu talk too!  Okay, no more flu.  Just movies and TACOS.  What was your movie about?
