Grr

Is it wrong that the only emotion I can summon up over the death of President Regan is annoyance over the fact that due to today's day of mourning I am unable to deposit my paycheck until Monday? Because of course, all banks are closed today and my stupid credit union isn't open on Saturday mornings. Actually it's only the credit union where I do my checking that won't be open until Monday, but I had some bills I wanted to pay this weekend.

This amuses me

There's an article in the new Entertainment Weekly about Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Mostly it focuses on the differences with the new director and how the maturing of the characters has changed the tone of the film. But there's a big part about how Alfonso Cuaron worked with the trio. When he first met them he asked them each to write an essay on how they saw their characters. Emma Watson's was 11 pages long, Dan Radcliffe's was one, and Rupert Grint didn't write one at all. It amuses me as this is exactly what Hermione, Harry, and Ron would've done with a similar assignment.
