THANK G-D!!! GOOD REVIEWS!!!
Published Wednesday, February 28, 2007 by naptowngirl.
Equus opened last night in the west end and i am happy to report that my boy wizard is a bonafide stage actor... here's a review from bbc.co.uk...
...belligerent knowingness (Mark Shelton, BBC)
It plays the drama at full gallop, and Radcliffe climbs aboard in a performance that is ballsy (in every sense).
It's not just the ten-minute nude scene that's a bold choice here. The defiant break with the character of Harry Potter that he has, until now, been indelibly associated with is also marked by the shock of seeing him smoke onstage.
Making his professional stage debut in a dramatic role, Radcliffe is playing his own age here, though he's so slight of stature that he could pass for far younger.
He brings a tentative, fragile vulnerability to the role, but there's also a belligerent knowingness that is spot-on.
He is magnificently partnered by Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter series), who has lately been cornering the market in doubting mentors to young men.
After his creation of the role of Hector in the stage (and subsequent film) premiere of Alan Bennett's The History Boys, he once again simultaneously brings both a warmth and an ache to the role of the psychiatrist here.
The play may not always be convincing, but both actors are utterly so as they bring it to fresh dramatic life.

Sometimes the people over at big blue (and Ogilvy) get it right. Their new "simple" campaign is just plain funny...

So today Connecticut was hit with a rather nasty ice/snow storm, i cant say that i ever saw it "snow" per say but we have seen all manner of icy precipitation. regardless, there are several inches of... something on the ground.
So it's been the first time i've had the opportunity to drive Suzie in bad weather and i have to say she's earned her keep today. In situations where i'm sure i would have slipped in Lucy, Suzie held her grip. Three cheers for all-wheel drive. :)
as a parting note: check out today's date. 2/14/7 (btw, happy valentines day) so. todays date divided by month equals the year. neat-O!

HARRY POTTER and the DEATHLY HALLOWS! It's coming in 163 days (see the ticker to your right to see a more accurate countdown). I am both eager and sad. I cant wait to find out what happens next, but at the same time, i dont want this ride to end. I dont want it to be over!
I also hate admitting that i was wrong. I would have put a large sum of money on a December 07 release and i would have been wrong, by about 5 months. Who would have ever dreamed the powers that be would release the 5th movie and the 7th (and final) book a week apart???? I certainly didnt. July is going to be one crazy week. I think i'll be rereading book 6 soon and if i dont get to it soon, then it'll most likely be on the plane ride to florida 2 weeks before the release of book 7. I dont think i'll be wearing my school uniform to the release in the middle of the summer? I guess i'll really have to get on buying my mischief managed tshirt. huh?
In the immortal words of Ren and Stimpy. "happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy! happy happy joy joy joy!!!"
