My boyfriend is a fucker. He ate my cookies without even asking me ate the whole damn package of cookies without leaving me even one and so I hate him.

On the other hand, I think I'm hooked on the Sharon Osbourne show. It's entirely different from any other talk show. She sits beside her guests on a big cushy couch and she's so sweet and adorable (how did she EVER end up with Ozzy?!?!?!) and I just love her show. She just talks to the guests about whatever like they're old friends who dropped by for coffee and just happen to be in front of a studio audience. I adore!!

"to love. to be loved. to never forget your own insignificance. to never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. to seek joy in the saddest of places. to pursue beauty to its lair. to never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. to respect strength, never power. above all, to watch. to try to understand. to never look away. and never, never to forget."

OK, I've been seriously waiting impatiently for the new Harry Potter installation - "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" - to come out in theatres. When I heard Gary Oldman was tipped to play Sirius Black I was unsure of the casting because I know he plays weird, crazy, & creepy incredibly well and his versatility as a bad guy/ deranged individual is amazing, but I've read all the books, including the 5th [WARNING! SPOILERS INCOMING:], and in the 5th book he is highly involved in the plotline but as Harry's loving yet scruffy, slightly bedraggled and rough-around-the-edges godfather. See, I know Oldman can play the "evil" Sirius in book 3, but can he do the battered but beloved Sirius in book 5?

And now, thanks to the new Issue of Premiere Mag. (with Orli on the cover) I discover that Emma Thompson is playing Professor Trelawney.... I know I didn't write the books, but from the descriptions Rowling paints a picture of someone willowy, wafty, maybe a little weak & melodramatic... in my head I pictured someone like Uma Thurman (in The Truth About Cats & Dogs), maybe Nicole Kidman...... Not someone quite so high-profile for the actual movie coz I know they've been trying to keep the megastars to a minimum... but Emma Thompson? No. Definitely Not.
