Harry Potter is cool.
Though my world is especially busy right now, I took the time out to go see the latest Harry Potter movie. I thought it was very cool. They went with a new director on this one, and I thought it was the best of the three. A little darker visually, but more interesting. I really enjoyed it, even though I had a killer headache through the movie. I think it's a shame that the main characters will most likely not be able to play the roles through the series. Daniel Radcliffe is outstanding as Harry Potter. I hope he will be able to break through that role and continue as an actor, because I think he's really great. The movie had such a great cast outside the "kids." (though you can hardly call them that anymore) Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, to name a few. Wow. That's an awesome cast no matter what kind of movie you're talking about. So, anyway, I really like the movie. I'd definitely see it again. I should be earning a free movie ticket soon with my Regal Gold Crown Club Card. Ah, the benefits of membership.
On the downside of things, Harry Potter was the upside...I feel pretty icky today. Yes, I said icky. I think I've caught my at-least-once-a-summer-cold. It usually happens about this time. Right before Creation. My head feels like it could explode. My throat hurts. My nose is stuffy. Icky. So, I'll feel better in a few days. Hopefully back to 100% in time for the EcoChallenge Stacey and I are manning a checkpoint for. I think it's a great idea. Run by Lebanon YFC, it's for groups of youth to hike, bike, raft, etc. to build teamwork. Not quite on the level of the really cool Mark Burnett Eco-Challenge, but cool nonetheless. I was thinking that Lyle, the guy that put it together might be a little sadistic, as Stacey was telling me what the course was like. I think I might call him Mr. Burnett on Saturday. I hope he wears a hat like Mark Burnett does. That will make it perfect.
Anyhow. Everything is moving forward for Creation. We have our big staff mailer tomorrow. Lots of help coming in. It should be a super fun day. Pizza for lunch and everything. As long as my head doesn't explode before then, everything will be swell.
