Okay. Today, c'est un mish-mash de la banalité.
First off, Bonnee is feeling much better and has stopped hacking away at her chin and neck. Poor thing is still on Prednisone for another week to control the itching caused by the allergic dermatitis (the 3rd possible diagnosis, and seemingly the correct one this time), but she has finished her course of antibiotics and is now readily chowing down on her new, over-the-top-expensive kibble. And she's actually playing again. Getting back to her wonderful old self, thankfully, as this little video shows.
---------------------------------------------------
In another escapade, this one not involving our creamy Scottish Fold, many of us went to see
the new Harry Potter film at the IMAX cinema last night. In a word, wow. The 20 minutes of 3D were a nice balm to soothe the sting of the ticket prices. Seriously, despite the occasional corniness (after all, it is a Harry Potter movie) and the "chaste kiss" that has enjoyed celebrity gossip status even in undeveloped countries, this was a treat to watch. If you have a chance to see it in IMAX glory, I'd certainly encourage you to. Otherwise, find the biggest screen around, hunker down, and enjoy.
By the way, y'all know Daniel Radcliffe recently starred in a London revival of Peter Shaffer's Equus, right?
---------------------------------------------------
Tonight Mark and I are joining many Convicts for a production of Christopher Shinn's Dying City, presented by Gaiety Theatre. Tonight's performance is, in part, a fundraiser to help finance the Convicts' trip to Dublin next year for the Bingham Cup competition. From what I understand, a few of the players are presenting a short sketch before the play. That will be fun, to be sure, but I am also looking forward to the play. It has received very fine reviews during its London, New York, and Sydney runs.

Finally, please remind me to stay out of rural Western Australia. I found this image while blogtrekking. Apparently, the folks running the Royal Mail Hotel in Meekatharra find it funny to refer to those who drink Bacardi Breezers in a derogatory way. Funny, most of the fellow light-steppers I hang out with drink beer.

ps -- A hearty gift from the Blow a Kiss Foundation goes to the lucky person who gets the initials in this post's header correct!
Bonnee is the cutest cat ever (except my two babies)!
sandy says: Bonnee just purred a big thank you. Woohoo, now I get to troll your blog to find pictures of your babies!

It's rural Australia mate. Did you expect better?
sandy says: I suppose I shouldn't. I consider myself duly warned. :-)

HP = Harry Potter
DC = Dying City
PD = Poofter Drink
BG = Bonnee Girl ... or Beer Guzzler ... or ...
sandy says: You da man! Did you feel the breeze of the kiss yet? It might take a while, considering the distance.

The showing of HP on IMAX here was sold out by the time I got there, so I saw it on the regular screen. Can't wait to go back and see it HUGE.

I haven't a clue as to what the initials mean above, its too early in the morning to work on that.
I thought the Harry Potter movie was ok, it did follow the book well, but they spent all their money on the last fight scene. I guess that I feel as if I am so far ahead with the books that I already know whats going to happen to them all.
Daniel is hot
sandy says: Yes he is. I'm SO refraining from making any "wand" jokes now. Broomsticks, maybe...
