Mmm. Chocolate covered gummy bears, where have you been all my life? Best stuff ever.

Which is to say, giddyupnow is here, and she brought Californian candy. But more importantly, she brought herself, and my brother fixed my car, and all of that meant oogobs of shopping fun at the Wellington Metropolis. There was even some JC in Nine West! She Got Me of all things, too. Long but ridiculously productive day whiled away for shirts, shoes, cute dresses, some questionable skirts and a lot of fun. You'll all be proud to know I resisted the Gryffindor polo shirt and acquired something so much classier than myself to wear to one of the, did we mention three!!! parties this weekend, I'm not sure I'm worthy. We'll see.

We also discussed strategic smuggling of electronics over dinner and came up with something of a game plan that was tantamount to most any other time - we try our best, hope we get the lazy/lenient security person, but have a time of it whichever way the wind blows.

Apparently, somewhere in the world, there exists some evidence of Alfonso Cuaron calling Remus Lupin your gay uncle who does smack. Died, people, *died* of the funny. Links?

For the record, it's rained every.single.day from 1-4 in the afternoon for the past four days. Without fail. It was by the grace of God Himself that we didn't leave looking like drowned rats from Skills last year, but I'm not holding my breath for any miracles this time around.

I'm actually starting to get caught up on fandom news. There's light at the end of the tunnel! Many thanks to all the wonderful people who host stuff/post pictures/relay news, today and every day, but yeah, not so much feeling too on the outs anymore.

I couldn't find a transcript to the full interview so I transcribed that section of the audio interview (http://www.kcrw.org/cgi-bin/db/kcrw.pl?show_code=tt&air_date=6/16/04&tmplt_type=Show).

Interviewer: One thing that really shows is your rapport with the actors which you're very good at establishing in movies and I feel it's something that you probably want to bring to the movies. It felt kinda less kinda rigid and more about the actors and the piece.

Cuaron: Yeah, well, the approach was in that sense, with the actors was not unlike, say, Y Tu Mama. It was all the time working for the honesty of the moment. Even if they are wizards, ultimately, their emotions are very human. And from the get go, we established that relationship with the actors. For instance, Professor Lupin, played by David Thewlis, we'd say, he's your favorite gay uncle who does smack.

Interviewer: I gotta read this book again.

Cuaron: [laughing] Well, that was the approach. You know, like, because then, if you [planned?] everything, everything is very easy. I would have a problem trying to figure how to direct a wizard. I mean, how would you direct a wizard?

The honesty of the moment. Your *favorite* gay uncle who does smack! *dies* I gotta read the book again, too, yo. I thought that was only in edgy fic. And as far as how would you direct a wizard? Not that I claim to know, but hey, I seem to like his solutions so far! Thanks for the transcript, that was delightful.

Dude, yes! I heard him in Nine West, too. (At an outlet in SC.) I scared my friends by singing along.

I sang along under my breath to most of the song hoping the salesgirl would catch on (since I figured she must be playing the disk.) But nope, just the one song. It's just not the track off the album that struck me as shopping music, but hey, I'll take my Chasez where I can get him.
