Also, saw Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I loved it. I'm posting a SPOILER WARNING just in case, so if you don't want to know, don't read this.

It was awesome! Funnier, scarier and cinamatically phenomenal. Movie wise, Ron(Rupert Grint) is my favorite. He's so funny! My personal favorite: "Follow the spiders! Why couldn't it have been follow the butterflies?" after following into a nest of horse-sized spiders. Hermione(Emma Watson) is getting prettier and Harry(Daniel Radcliffe) learned a few more expressions. It's funny, they're getting older now and much taller. Draco Malfoy(Tom Felton) is towering over Harry and Co. while Ron and Harry's voices are deeper, but still cracking a bit. It's pretty funny. My favorite scene is this little one where Harry, Ron and Hermione are sitting in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom (much more spacious than I had imagined). Hermione is sitting mixing potions, Harry's lounging on the floor and Ron is leaning with his shirtsleeves rolled up, tie loosened and looking for all the world like a twentysomething come home from work. Some scenes I was looking forward to were not there, as well as some that might have helped the flow. Lockhart's scenes were funny, but they were some of the missing ones I wanted to see. Kenneth Brannagh was perfect as the arrogant Professor Lockhart.

I'm tired and losing my train of thought, so I'll try to add more once I've slept.

Okkaaaayyyyyyyy, now that I have time to post, I have tons to get up and out.

First I have to start with Sensations. It was a blast. We looked hot, danced hotter and totally set the place on fire. I am of course leaving out the six long hours backstage, the drunk models/backup dancers and boredom. That and the fact that because the show was about an hour behind schedule, we went on at midnight and three quarters of the audience had left. Including the celebrities. And I really wanted to meet Lisa Ryder from Andromeda(and formerly Forever Knight), too. But the dance was so amazing! I can't wait to get photos and the video, because I only saw myself twice in the mirror and I don't remember much of the seven minute number. I do remember laughing with my dad across the audience, turning the wrong way, feeling so good and a blur. It was really like the CanCan scene in Moulin Rouge where it was dizzying and blurred and frantic and sexy.

Second, I just got a new electronic. Those who know me know I love electronics and can usually make them work, even if I don't know how or what exactly. I got a sweet combo VCR/DVD player. It's sooooo cool. I just finished watching Ocean's 11, my very first DVD on that machine. Plus, now I can tape Buffy and Angel, so I'm not upset about missing them all the time.

One another note, I got to see Conversations with Dead People. Very bizzare. I was thrilled to see Cassie back. Azura Skye is a great actress. I almost cried when she was talking for Tara with Willow. Poor Will. Dawn's scenes were scary; Spike's were short, dialogue-less and odd and Buffy's were poingant, especially at the end. Jane Espenson & Drew Goddard wrote this ep; Jane is best know for Earshot, Superstar and loads more and Drew for this season's Selfless. There's some serious crazyness a-brewin'. I'm extremely upset, though, over Jonathon. I really hope he's not dead. I wanted him to be the one who survived Sunnydale, moved one, got a better life or something. How could Jane do that? She's written some of his best stuff!
