*breath*

ok..so i did get to see Harry Potter and it was cool. Mike T came to the rescue and we got to see it opening day in Century City. Samantha said it best when she stated it was like watching the book in fast forward. I think i would have enjoyed it more if i didn't read the book, but i probably wouldn't have understood various parts of the movie. I just have to remember that the movies are the director's interpretation of the book...and since i've been hooked, i am gonna continue listening to the series. Effects were great, but i think i missed most of the suspense. Instead, it definately felt more like a british romantic comedy (Goblet was directed by the same guy who did 4 weddings and a funeral). IMDB trivia says they originally thought of having a 2 part movie, but was later convinced to fit it in one. *shakes head* Bad idea from the boring director of movie 3. (i fell asleep in that movie both times i tried to watch it, finally successful on the 3rd time).


Anyways..so.moving on.

Thought this week would be a cake walk, since there are only 3 days. Instead I've gotten sacked with work beyond belief. Add to that starting to feel a bit conjested. This is definately slowing me down, but things are moving quickly. Tomorrow is the turkey holiday and i've got 2 dinners i need to space myself out for. Ugg. Friday off will be nice, but not sure if/which black friday sale i may hit. Gotta start working on my shopping list as well as my wish list.

In other news though...



I went to the arclight theater in LA for the first time this morning. Karen really wanted to see RENT at the midnite performances and was able to get last minute tickets to the 12:10am performance. It was a 344 event as Garland came along to have his first RENT experience. I have to say this is definately the best movie i've seen in quite some time. I've seen the musical and it was a terrific performance...and this movie does a lot to transfer that to the screen. Most of the original cast was there and i can say i still felt the power of music much as i did during the live performance. This one is definately a must see.

oh well..work calls again...but hoping everyone has a happy thanksgiving holiday.
