Hi.. I've been so busy lately that I've been neglating posting over here..

I've been to the movies yesterday with my sister. We saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. A must see if you love the Harry Potter world..

just stand still

I neglected this thread over the weekend apparently

Well my plan this week is to die of exhaustion because i'm working overnight shifts starting today until Saturday.

I think everyone has been busy! Holiday season!

I'm not a Harry Potter fanatic but I'm glad you liked it Anja

Hi there, Yvonne! Whatchya up to lately?

Anja - Yay! I'm glad you were able to see that movie, I'm jealous. I'm gonna have to wait until it's released on DVD and I can rent it. I also really want to see Moana, the reviews are crazy good!

Melissa - Ugh, that bites having all of those ON shifts! Hang in there, chica.

Karen - How's work going? Is it extra crazy for the holidays where you are?

Hehe, yeah, good point We got ourselves a cover for the couch, which is the most important for us.

Anja, I saw Fantastic Beasts this weekend aswell. We loved it. Wasn't as good as Harry Potter imo, but it came close, which is pretty great. I love that there will be more stories (4 more movies iirc).

Busy busy busy over here. Tour is finished now, so the countdown to my holiday starts. 19 days!

That sucks!

Is it related to HP or just same writer?

Man, this year just went by superfast!

It's a prequel. It's in the same timeline as Harry Potter, just years before Harry is born. Some familiar names are mentioned during the movie though. Dumbledore, etc. Hogwarts is also mentioned.

Thanks for that! Never watched the HP movies.

Jen - I want to see the new Disney one too, but I guess it will be the same way for you and Fantastic Beasts, going to wait for the dvd to come out..
Ingmar - (Put this in spoiler tags in case someone hasn't seen the movie and doesn't want to know

I haven't been to the movies in forever. I used to go a lot more often, but I think I've only been to 2 all year.

I think this was our second cinema movie of the year. We saw Finding Dory and now this one. Could be we saw a third, but wouldn't know which one. Normally we prefer to use the money you use for tickets to buy the (3D) Blu-Ray instead. Then you can watch the movie as often as you'd like, pause it anytime you want, you'd have more privacy, etc. We just prefer it that way I guess, but when we're in the mood for a date night watching a movie in the cinema feels more fitting.

Just seeing y'all discuss HP has got me all kinds of excited to show Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando to Anja and Kathrin! Y'all are gonna LOVE IT! And I can't freakin wait to go back and see it all again and ride the Forbidden Journey.

Ingmar - Couch covers are definitely nice, just make sure you have the arms nailed down because my cat would always go underneath and claw the couch arms.

Yvonne - Yay for finishing the tour! It went well I presume? Hehe, yep, the countdown has started and I'm STILL waiting for packages to come in the mail.

Okay, gonna have to cut my board visit short because I'm exhausted after having a good, but stressful rehearsal tonight! We perform 3 handbell pieces this Sunday for our German service and that's after I've played my clarinet all morning! *wipes sweat off brow* Y'all have a great night/day!

Lindsay

Ingmar - That makes sense. And I wanted to see Finding Dory, but never did.

Jen - Good luck with your performances!

Very well!

What's everybody up to? I can't believe Christmas is next week!
