Was I the only one expecting James Earl Jones' voice to come out of Aslan's mouth?
I was? Okay.
On the whole, I really enjoyed this movie -- then again, I read the books when I was a young'un (and had forgotten quite a bit), so it was nice in a nostalgic way. And, hey, I'm all about the talking animals, so doubly better there. And Liam Neeson rocks my socks, so...yeah.
Yes, I know -- oversimplifying. It's ten-thirty and I'm still catching up on sleep from the past few days. Ended up watching the kidlets a little longer than I'd anticipated, but they are, quite possibly, the best-behaved kids in the free world, so I didn't mind. Seriously -- cute and well-behaved. Jackpot.
I ended up sleeping over at their house Thursday night, which left Tora-kun home alone with Darwin, which... okay, I was a little nervous about. Darwin's a little... he's kind of...
Darwin is the canine equivalent of a mama's boy.
There, I said it. He kind of has issues with separation anxiety (which I've been trying to remedy, slowly but surely), and I was certain that Tora would be fed up with Darwin's antics (pacing, whimpering), but as it turned out, D-bear did really well. Slept through the night with minimal howling (once, at around eleven o'clock) and Tora had no problems with getting Darwin squared away (let out to potty, fed, etc).
Granted, when I walked through the door Friday morning (after dropping the kids off at school), I thought he was going to wiggle his hind-end clear off. :)
Nice slow weekend so far (aside from a too-long trip to the grocery this morning), but tomorrow promises to be even nicer and slower, since I've been working on catching up on laundry TODAY instead of TOMORROW.
And now, going to get back to editing ch 54 for posting. :D
