Computer Woes

My computer has been slow. You would think we had dial up. I haven't been able to read my favorite blogs because I give up in frustration waiting for sites to load. I haven't blogged because of the same reason. That, and I've been reading Harry Potter. I am on book 5. For this book, I am reading the British version that my parents brought me from Scotland. As I read, I wonder what made them change some of the words. For example, would we really not understand that a "dustbin" is a "trashcan"? Or that a "hosepipe" is a "hose"? Who decided to change it? Who gets to read the book and make the changes? What is the job title? Are they hiring?

Last night I had play selection committee. I am still pushing for Annie, but it looks like I'm the only one. Oh well. While I was gone, Curly showed Mini-me some of the Harry Potter movie. She loved it. She thinks Harry is so cute. She does not like Snape. She said he was "so scary to me." I think she agrees that Snape is a double agent for the Dark Lord. I can't wait to find out!
