Recently I observed that friends and family rarely call, write, e-mail, or even offer a hint when life is going smoothly. Why is it we call our mates when things are going poorly, but we fail to phone when life is great?
I'll go first: I had a great audition yesterday, Harry Potter opens this week, I have amazing friends, I love Los Angeles, my puppy is perhaps the cutest in town, and finally....the massive crush I have for my husband persists. In short, I'm content and extremely happy.
Tell me, what is currently making you over the moon happy?
After a two-and-a-half year wait, Potter fanatics came out from the wood work to attend the midnight showing of the Half-Blood Prince. The long wait in line was 3/4 of the the fun!
The above fans looked absolutely amazing. We had a five hour wait, so they had an abundance of time for photo opportunities. 
I convinced six of my nearest and dearest to stay up late on a school night, to join in the mid-summer madness. They were dolls to indulge my childish whims.
And the movie review? This is a tough one. The Half-Blood Prince was my favorite book from the series, therefore my expectations were sky high. I enjoyed the movie. However, I wished the final battle scene would have been elongated, and shown more epoch sensitivity at it's conclusion. That being said, I throughly enjoyed the preceding. I laughed my head off, which was a great contrast to the conclusion. Over all, I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
