“I have an unfortunate personality.”
- Orson welles

Hello.
We went to see Toy Story 3 (finally!) today.
Billie had already seen it the week it came out, with her Mother - well played ex-wife!
I made the foolish mistake that week of seeing Inception with her. Whilst a very very good film (though maybe not the instant classic everyone says it is) it bored her terribly bad choice Dad!

Toy Story was the first (complete) film I've seen in 3D (I know, I'm so far behind the times!)and I loved it (though to be honest it would have been just as good in 2D). I just hope they can resist a fourth film, please leave it as a trilogy...

From where I sit I can see my very own Jessie , Woody and Buzz. The latter two I bought in Disney World before Toy Story 2 was even released, and Jessie technically belongs to Billie, she's just 'resting' here. Sadly the batteries in Buzz died years ago, but the other two can still produce a squeaky phrase when their string is pulled.
Billie was in one of her non-communicative teenage moods, but it was so good to see her. As she gets older I sense my gradual transition from necessity to periphery (as a parent).

Today has been okay...

As for tomorrow?
