Last night was the new Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets movie, midnight at the MOA. I thought it was good, but it seemed to aim at a bit younger audience than the previous one. There were a bunch of girls actually dressed up in Hogwarts robes, which I thought was awesome, but otherwise, less festivity than the midnight showing of the first one. I didn’t see any reporters until after the movie was out.
On the way home, we talked about how slow the characters talked in some scenes, which is contrary to this article about how sitcoms are increasing word-per-minute rates because it’s thought to appeal to a younger audience. (Link courtesy of Seth, who was in the car for the discussion.)
In cubeland news, someone higher up has decided that because there are clients visiting next week, our cubes should be mixed and matched, shuffled like a deck of cards, and somehow (inextricably) cleaned at the same time. No big deal, I guess, but I have work to do, and packing things up, moving 20 feet and unpacking again is going to cut into that valuable billable time. Damn the fates and their lack of administrative prowess! Why couldn’t we do this last week, when I was able to read blogs 90 percent of the time?
