I'll have a more elaborate list later, but right just now, having spent quite a bit of my day in front of our 300+ channel cable service (five channels of MTV! Where they actually play videos!) I'm thankful that any sales I want to check out this weekend could wait until a decent hour tomorrow. (The new service also means Chamber of Secrets is on pretty much 24/7 this week - I've seen the duel about three times now, and it doesn't get any less wrongly sexy at all.)

Watching the Memphis club show was fantastic. The accounts that trickled in throughout the tour were great, but to actually hear the Inspector Gadget theme played over his entrance (the big dork!) and hearing him sample You're So Vain during Cry Me A River and play kickin' guitar over Like I Love You were such a treat.

The new Lord of the Rings cast pictorial in Empire magazine is breathtaking. Everyone, fan or not, should go out and buy a copy.

I've been thinking about adjectives and adverbs, synchronik's comments on the Booty Cam = sexiness as lazy because directors can't find a more creative way to convey it, and cursing in films which I've read mentioned as laziness in finding a proper expression as well. Not that I'm about to start talking like Hemingway's lost convent-bound second cousin, but valid points all around.

I'm also thankful for gossip columns and tabloids. Not the sleazy ones where they crawl into trees in the celebs' yards or whatever, but the party rumors and alleged insider info stuff. Although this does make two sources claiming a JC/Carlos liason and Lance being a big queen in private. *shrug* Personally, I'm having trouble reconciling either for various reasons I'll revisit after next weekend.

Mmm, Thanksgiving leftovers. And downloading capabilities! Good to be home doesn't even begin to cover it.

Quotes of the Day:

"I agreed to go see Timeline? Man, I must've been wasted."
-me to my brother, talking about being post-five glasses of wine last night

Exerpts form the SmashHits interview:

Q: Who's got the worst dress sense?
JC: What do you mean "worst"? We always look really cool!

Q: You have to snog (French kiss) another member of *NSYNC in a life-or-death situation - whom do you choose? (Have I mentioned the Canadian press can do all their interviews?)
Justin: Absolutely no way out? I wouldn't want to hurt any of their feelings so it'd be all of them.
Joey: I'd choose Justin because everyone wants to snog Justin - and I do prefer blondes!
JC: I'll take the death option. No way am I kissing Joey!
Chris: I'd be happy to snog any of them. They're a great lookin' bunch!
Lance: Maybe JC or Justin but I'd rather not kiss any of them!

How much do I love every single one of their answers? *g*

Weh? Watching a club show? There's video somewhere? *blinks*

Just Justin's concert special.

Ah, okay, the one that I'm not allowing myself to watch until I finish all this stupid reading, right. :-)

How's you?

I'm good! Thanksgiving weekend at the parents' was very pleasant. They're a busy, happy bunch, which was so nice to come home to. Nothing like strife in the home to mess with your groove, y'know? So it was good to see everyone doing well. I had a very unproductive, relaxing few days, though they weren't nearly long enough. Got to watch Chamber of Secrets and oogobs of MTV to my heart's content, ate well, yada yada yada, couldn't have asked for more. Well, a little homework-doing gnome would've been nice.

Drive done, home now, word ahead of me.

So I read! :-) Yeah, still have much more reading to do that I'm ever gonna get done in time for tomorrow's test, so we'll see how that goes. Meep.

You! Flight info! Since it would be nice to know when to come get you ;-) Email me or something, since it's not likely I'll be on IM much with this paper business to get done.
