That’s a snippet of my piece on Radcliffe’s appearance on Inside the Actor’s Studio, as I blogged about last time. There’s been a whirlwind of stuff that has been generated since the article’s release, some good, some bad. But no matter. I’m still damned proud of this article and don’t regret taking on the story one bit. I mean come on, HP changed my LIFE, man. And this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. To see him in the flesh, to hear him speak about Potter, his childhood, and his life. And best of all, to be the one to write about it. It was the ultimate honor, and the best time I’ve ever had as an aspiring journalist.

This coming week’s gonna be even more of a whirlwind. I’m gonna see two Broadway shows which, considering I’ve only seen two in my lifetime, is saying a lot. Tomorrow, I’m seeing Avenue Q with my friend Bonnie. A few days later, it’s A Tale of Two Cities with Em. I’m gonna be staying over at her place again, so I look forward to bonding with her and her mom because they’re awesome people. The day after that, I’m getting my senior picture taken. In between that I’ve got to fill out forms, lots and lots of forms for all sorts of things, make appointments, finish reading a book, and work on my research project. Whew, that was exhausting just to type.



{October 10, 2008}   To-see-list

Serendipity– trite, predictable, Disneyish, still awesome.

Lars and the Real Girl (second viewing)– I am not much different from Lars. The realization jarred me.

What About Bob?– Bill Murray can play anything and I’ll watch it. OCD’s represent!

Movies I’m looking forward to seeing:

Snow Angels– bought the DVD and popcorn (didn’t come with the DVD); waiting for the right time to watch it.

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist– Because I love Michael Cera and believe in the notion of musical soulmates.

Rachel Getting Married– Because there’s already Oscar buzz for Hathaway and she’s in my cool book.

Choke– Chuck Palahniuk. Need I say more?

Burn After Reading– Eh. Just because John Malkovich is in it.

I really wanna see the play Equus after going to an Inside the Actor’s Studio taping with Daniel Radcliffe. That dude is cool, and talented, and funny, and no, I’m not infatuated, just in awe.
