Big Bucks Required to See Harry Potter Blind Horses

in Theatre

Tickets for this fall’s staging of Equus starring Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths (he plays Harry’s uncle in the films) went on sale recently. I’m stunned at the top ticket price of $116.50. Even the cost to sit in the top/back of theatre is $61.50. I realize this is a limited run (September [...]

Drippy Saturday

in Books, LGBT Issues, Music, New York, TV

It’s a great day to stay inside, and curl up with a book or just watch TV. It’s soggy, rainy, icky outside! The upside, if there is one, is that it at least feels like fall. Jury Duty Completes: I completed jury duty in just two days. I was in a couple pools to potentially [...]

Viva! Saturday

in Books, Music, TV

Viva Bad: We watched the first 10 minutes or so of Viva Laughlin Thursday night after CSI and then went to bed, hoping that the show would improve as we finished off on the DVR. We did make it through the pilot, hoping for some glimmer of a decent show but that never materialized. Looking [...]

What Time Is It? It’s Saturday

HSM2: What better way to end a crazed work week than with High School Musical 2? I enjoyed the sequel a lot. As I noted yesterday, I already knew the music was good, but the story turned out to be good too. Troy had to grow up and make some choices about what was important [...]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

in Books, LGBT Issues

It took a little longer than I intended, but as you might have read below, I wrapped up reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Saturday afternoon. It took two weeks, but it was a very satisfying two weeks, and I think I’m glad I didn’t try to stuff the reading into a shorter [...]

Harry Potter… All done…

in Books

It was a great ending to the series. More to say on it, but I just wanted to say that I am finished and overall very satisfied!

Saturday Again…

in Books, Life in General, New York

So happy it’s Saturday. Work is a killer these days and Saturday is about the only day of the week that I try to not work outside of reading email to support people who are working. Tomorrow I’ll be back at it trying to get things done. Here’s what’s on my mind this week: I [...]

Saturday Stuff

J.J.’s Trek: A bit of news came out this week about the casting for the reboot of the Star Trek movie franchise. It’s been known for a while now that J.J. Abrams, mastermind behind Alias and the best of the Mission: Impossible movies, is taking over the series with his eye on a December 2008 [...]

It’s Harry Potter Saturday!

in Books, Current Events, TV

759 Pages to Go: I, like many, got my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows today. I’ll be reading it over the next couple weeks. I wish I could read faster, and avoid any spoilers that may come my way but it is the best I can do with my overall time these [...]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

in Movies

I spent last night at Hogwarts and enjoyed my trip quite a lot. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is second in my list of favorite Potter movies, behind Prisoner of Azkaban (which remains my favorite… I would love it if Alfonso Cuarón would return to direct, perhaps #7). Order of the Phoenix [...]
