part 1:
“The Prime Minister felt it himself; people really did seem more miserable than usual. Even the weather was dismall; all this chilly mist in the middle of July… It was n’t right, it wasn’t normal…” (pg 2)
part 2:
” ‘I thought dementors guard the prisoners in Askaban,’ he said cautiously.
‘They did,’ said Fudge wearily. ‘But not anymore. They’ve deserted the prison and joined He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. I won’t pretend that wasn’t a blow.’
‘But,’ said the Prime Minister, with a sense of dawning horror, ‘didn’t you tell me they’re the creatures that drain hope and happiness out of people?’
‘That’s right. And they’re breeding. That’s what’s causing all this mist.’ ” (pg 14) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Yes, that’s right. The sucky weather we’ve been having unfortunately points to the sad truth: Lord Voldemort is back and the dementors have joined his forces. Sorry to say it but isn’t it comforting to at least have an explanation for this craptastic weather? 
Coming across the Charles this morning on the T, you couldn’t even see the city. I mean at all. I thought yesterday was gloomy but it’s 8:30am right now and it looks like it is 8:30pm out there.
On a brighter note, my pair of backup glasses I’ve been wearing until I get my real ones fixed broke this morning so now I’m basically blind all day. Yay me!
I really think you’re on to something!
LOLS
Do you want to hold off on the movie if you’re blind?
Nope, I’m still good for tonight. If I can work all day without glasses I can definitely look at Johnny Depp for 2.5 hours without glasses. I still want to go tonight – they are already showing too much of it on TV.
OK, cool. Supposed to be good!
