Hey, forget about me, sis?

heavenly_pearlI'm rather ticked off with my sister. Laura forgot my birthday. I wasn't expecting a gift or anything like that, but a card or an email would have been nice. Even a short phone call would have sufficed, though she knows how much I hate talking on the phone.
Well, I'll give her until this weekend. Maybe she did mail me a card and it just hasn't gotten here yet. But if she didn't, I have half a mind not to send her an e-card this year for her birthday (which is next month) like I always do.
EDIT: It turns out that Laura didn't forget. She actually called the house last night, but since Mom had the ringer off and her number didn't show up on Caller ID, we didn't know it. However, she called Mom's cell phone today and told me "Happy Birthday," so I'm glad. I didn't think she was the type to forget something like that. ^_^
In other news, I forgot to mention that I finally watched Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone last night. Since I read the first three books during the Rita evacuation, I figured I might as well give the movies a try and see what all the fuss was about. It was pretty good, I guess. Strange thing, though, was that even though I thought it was too long, it also felt like it was too short as well. Does that make sense? I got the same feeling with the first book. I think it has something to do with the fact that I feel the Sorceror's Stone was never really given the attention that I thought it should in either canon. We know that it was created by Nicholas Flamel and it has the power to prolong life, but that's about it. (You know, if I wasn't so scared of the HP fandom, I wouldn't mind writing a fanfic about the creation of the stone.) Flamel himself doesn't even show up, which I think would have made things more interesting. Plus, the stone thing always seemed more like a subplot to me, instead of the main part of the book.
Other than that, my only complaint is that Lee Jordan (that's his name, right?) didn't do his hilarious commentary during the Quidditch match, instead stuck with just announcing points. His biased comments and Professor McGonagall's scoldings were the funniest parts in the books!
