You may be a weiner parent if...

...you make your son watch An Inconvenient Truth with you before he can watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In my defense I'll say that he was asking me stuff about global warming, some of which I was having trouble answering. To my considerable relief the movie held his attention. He even asked a couple of questions about it, and he appeared to understand most of it. But dammit, Gore, both of us could have done with less navel-gazing and more planet-frying action. Gore's occasional snarking didn't go over well with me, either. This isn't to say, though, that I don't think kids should see this. I'd just wait until they're 12 or 13 for the vocabulary.

Dream: an old friend decided to try to cheat at a Vegas casino. I failed to talk him out of it. He asked me to stay away from him at the casino because I attract attention en femme. I said that was no problem.

Still catching up with housework & Potter 7. I'm kind of glad LJ swooned yesterday.
