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*

Out of those answers my favourite is Lance's. Of course, we have no idea if he's says it jokingly or not, but the way it's written it sounds all serious. Like the first thing that pops into his head is he'd kiss JC & Justin and then he realises what he said and has to cover. It's very revealing. And it also amuses me greatly that JC feels it's necessary to point out that he doesn't want to kiss Joey. It's very suspicious. :)

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

Actually, I'm rather peeved off at Justin because he sang "Gone" during that Memphis thing. Without the rest of *N Sync. Granted, it was probably approved by the other guys, but I saw that and everything inside me was screaming "Traitor!"

It may be totally unfounded, but I couldn't stop myself. I found myself thinking the first thought ever of doom for *N Sync ever getting back together. Which is a terrible, TERRIBLE thing.
