Been quite a lovely weekend

Though something heavy weighs on my heart. Not sure what, maybe just pms. Anyhow, lovely weekend so far nevertheless.

Had tea with Stephen yesterday afternoon. Finally managed to get together after three months and we spent a good three hours chatting and catching up. Boy is starting is MSW program and interning for DCFS in September. I am so proud of him. Still comrades, us, determined to do something to change something. Went to the bookstore with Rob and bought Harry Potter book 5 since I ordered book 6 online and it's on its way to me in the next week. (I read Stephen's book 5 when it first came out and never bought it.) Rob and I watched the CG movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I liked it.

Been reading book 5 today, skipping through a lot of stuff since this is more of a review. I have such a hard time reading book 5 since I just can't bear seeing Harry so oppressed at such a young age. Poor lad, so courageous. Whenever I read the part when Sirious died, I almost want to cry reading Harry's reactions. I hope I have what it takes to stomach book 6, since book 7 is no where in sight and there will be no resolution for at least another couple of years.

Rob and I ate Vietnamese food in China town today. Wonderful food, and then we went to Urth Cafe to read together. Rob was reading something intelligent about the brain, and I started to read HP book 1 again. It's so bittersweet, since I have grown to love HP characters as if they were real people. Sirious. Sigh. I know who dies in book 6 already. God, I hope I can take it.

Anyhow, we are now sitting in the lounge at home together, reading books. Rob is the best. My prince.
