edenfalling: golden flaming chalice in a double circle (gold chalice)
This is part 3 of a rambling compare-and-contrast on the BBC miniseries and Disney feature film versions of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, with extensive reference to the book (since the book is my only true canon). As of yet, I have no preference for one filmization over the other, since both have elements that make me happy and elements that annoy me to no end.

edenfalling: colored line-art drawing of a three-scoop ice cream sundae (ice cream sundae)
As I left for work this morning, I noticed my mail had already been delivered. Since one of the items was a Netflix CD, I figured I'd take them inside right away.

One of the items was a reminder postcard for my annual dental appointment tomorrow.

...

What dental appointment? This was not on my calendar! This was not in my plans!

But I got a confirmation phone call this afternoon, so this seems legitimate. I am even willing to believe I made the appointment in June or July and somehow forgot to write it on my calendar. Still. That is not the kind of surprise I want at the start of my day.

Fortunately, the appointment is for 10am and I don't have to be at work until 11am, so the timing is not an issue. I'm just discombobulated. (And I little annoyed at the expense; I think I will have to transfer some money from savings to checking to cover this.)
