Weekend wrap-up

Went to see the new Harry Potter film last night. Overall it was good though the ending was weak (Death Eaters are unopposed in Hogwarts and all they do is blow up the cafeteria before leisurely strolling away?) But Draco Malfoy was desperately pretty in an emo-angst way--I kept expecting him to form a boyband or to announce that he was appearing in Nickelback's next video.

And speaking of angst rock--earlier on Sunday fireun and I had gone out for a caffeine-fueled writing session. While driving the radio started playing a metal rock version of Careless Whisper-- the song that features the refrain:

I'm never gonna dance again,
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm

Needless to say the existence of this version, while excellent, sprained my brain. Google surfing revealed that the cover was by Seether-- if you go to their website at http://www.seether.com/ you can watch the official music video which adds another element of surrealism with its homage to 1980s pop culture.

And in writing news, jpsorrow and I spent the time before HP hashing out details of the secret project, which is progressing nicely. Now, alas, it is back to the dayjob.
